The respondent countries identified both (a) priority areas for action on gender equality, and (b) requirements for accelerating implementation of the Platform for Action. Achieving gender parity across leadership and decision-making positions is seen, by the respondent countries, as requiring identifying women with the potential to lead, investing in building the capacities of women to occupy leadership positions, engaging “male champions”, and employing special temporary measures, such as quotas, affirmative action and targeted funding. Other identified areas for attention include reducing the gender pay gap, accounting for women’s unpaid care work, advancing the rights of women engaged in the informal sector, fostering entrepreneurship and making decent work a reality for more women workers. Action on violence against women is seen as requiring the existence and implementation of normative frameworks comprised of policies, legislation and strategies, along with a position of “zero tolerance”.

Given the suggested consensus algorithm proof-of-authority (PoA), running the validation procedure does not require a node operator to provide resource-intensive hardware or energy. Regulators would have to design a framework, with a governmental institution being responsible for hosting a node. Whereas in advanced economies a dedicated ministry of digital infrastructure is in place and can host a node, it would be important to support developing countries with adequate organisational and technological infrastructure to implement the system.

The system is used as a targeting tool by eight government agencies in 31 programmes, such as conditional cash transfers, housing, health and several other types of means-tested benefits (DNP, 2008a). The employer chooses which compensation fund to affiliate to, among those available within the department. Compensation funds are headed by a council with equal representation from employers and employees.

A decade has passed since the United Nations (UN) Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (hereafter, DESD, 2005–2014) was initiated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the world community to combat international threats against both human and ecological sustainability. Understanding and addressing global issues of sustainability affecting individual nations and communities are at the heart of Education for Sustainable Development (hereafter, ESD). These issues come from the three different but interconnected spheres of sustainable development: environment, society and economy. Such environmental issues as climate change, water shortages and biodiversity loss, social issues like HIV/AIDS, migration and urbanisation, employment, human rights, gender equity and peace and human security, and economic issues such as poverty and corporate responsibility and accountability are all highly complex and will require sophisticated educational strategies for this and the next generations to find solutions (UNESCO, 2005).

Indigenous peoples are at an increased risk of suffering from tuberculosis. Whilst programmes have been designed to combat tuberculosis, they often do not reach indigenous peoples because of issues related to poverty, poor housing, a lack of access to medical care and drugs, cultural barriers, language differences and geographic remoteness. These instruments include provisions for the right to life and for the "right of everyone to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health",12 with some specifically recognising the rights of individuals from marginalized populations, including indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities.

It is difficult to understand these characteristics fully, but certain principles can usually be derived and transferred to other contexts. The recent success of catch-up economies demonstrates that international learning can be very effective but requires appropriate adaptation to the new context (Rodrik, 2008). Mechanisms that enable learning and policy development can help ensure that government is meeting the innovation needs of society.

Availability of results of national assessments in Denmark: who has access to the results? ( The higher the stakes are for school leaders and teachers, the more these unintended effects are likely to occur. Using results from national assessments for accountability purposes, then, requires transparency and fairness to mitigate the negative effects on teaching and learning and to reduce the misuse of results (Hooge, 2016, OECD, 2013b).

The ENP Action Plans aim to assist the ENP partner- countries and Russia in addressing environmental concerns. They provide information on EU environment policy and legislation in key policy areas (including the WEEE Directive) and explain how progress can be achieved. In recentyears, many initiatives have been carried out and financed by the European Union to improve the legal and institutional framework that enables proper e-waste management in the sub-region.

Consolidation of some content from the multiple data platforms that currently exist would help in this regard, to facilitate transparency and public understanding of the quality of care. Although there is much to praise in Scotland’s local, or bottom-up, approach to quality monitoring and improvement, these initiatives could at times be supported by stronger national frameworks. Consideration should also be given to the creation of a more independent mechanism for assessing health system performance (separate from the improvement function), and ensuring that primary and community care services are subject to the same level of scrutiny as hospital services.

They fill, at best, one-third of public managerial positions (see Figure 5.7) and are better represented, though not necessarily at the senior level, in “soft” departments like education, the environment and tourism (see Figure 5.9). There is also a discrepancy between the number of women in high-ranking public positions and the proportion of w'omen (in the whole population) w'ith the educational qualifications to fill them. They include a culture of long working hours, the lack of flexible work arrangements, inadequate child care services, discriminatory practices and sexual harassment.

It also means being willing and able to change our mind when a convincing argument is presented. A variety of resources such as movies, plays, talks, forums and even community activities are used in a process where the teacher assumes the position of facilitator and guide, rather than sticking to the traditional lecture style. Of course, this also transforms the evaluation processes, with conventional tests being complemented with self-evaluation and co-evaluation by students.

Pour porter ses fruits, cet accord devrait comporter des engagements quantitatifs d’attenuation pris par tous les gros emetteurs et donner lieu a des actions concretes visant a reduire les emissions de gaz a effet de serre tout en catalysant des transformations a long terme qui aboutiront a des Economies sobres en carbone et resilientes face au changement climatique. Ce rapport a pour objectif d’analyser a quoi pourraient ressembler les engagements d’attenuation qui seront proposes dans le cadre de l’accord de 2015, quelles orientations pourraient etre decidees concernant le type d’engagements proposes, et quelles « regies du jeu » devraient etre etablies d’un commun accord avant que des engagements prtiiminaires ne soient formulas pour la periode posterieure a 2020. For example, the consultations could take place inside or outside the UNFCCC.

Governments are increasingly relying on algorithms to automate decision-making in diverse areas, including social welfare, criminal justice, healthcare, law enforcement and national security. This chapter sketches the way in which algorithms are or may be used across the spectrum of government decision making — from the drafting of legislation, to judicial decision making, to the implementation of laws by the executive branch. Then, based on scholarship in the field and our own empirical, doctrinal and theoretical work, the chapter examines the rule of law values affected by automated government decision making systems and the legal and practical issues that the implementation and supervision of such systems may pose in practice.

Entrepreneurial professors and researchers can provide the link between education and start-up support, by being role models, sharing research results for commercialisation and acting as mentors for student projects. To facilitate this, start-up support needs to be embedded in education. There is a need for the university leadership to create synergies between education, research and entrepreneurship and to establish an institution-wide commitment to entrepreneurship with appropriate incentive structures for professors, researchers, administrative personnel and students. Provide soft incentives that stimulate involvement by professors and teaching staff by annual awards such as the “Best Entrepreneurship Innovative Pedagogy” and the “Best Entrepreneurship Professor”.

By 2005 the trade community faced pressure to increase the development focus of its agenda and provide tangible benefits to developing countries. At the same time, the aid community was looking for avenues to efficiently and effectively disburse growing aid budgets and demonstrate greater long-term impacts from funded projects. Aid for trade suited the political economy in which both groups found themselves. There has been a significant and welcome step forward by the international community towards a greater understanding of the complex relationship between trade liberalisation and economic development in poorer countries.

The focus of such cooperation should be on sharing tools, strategies and experiences across sectors - from large infrastructure projects to community-based interventions - all of which need to drive innovation, learning and upscaling. The task ahead does not entail holding more conferences and workshops, but rather expanding the audience and participation of these kinds of meetings in addition to the kinds of South-South and regional exchanges. These senior officials have historically been outside discussions or only occasionally involved, or have not thought the discussion important enough to attend.

Similarly, firms that have received assistance in obtaining quality certification are three times more likely to export. This evidence relates to quality certification in 'traditional' goods and services. However, it suggests that supporting SMEs may also apply to the field of digital certification. The underlying assumption is that people and enterprises are actually connected to one another and to new technologies via the internet or transport infrastructure.

Means-tested family benefits are frequently designed as temporary payments that enable one of the parents to spend time with their children. Apart from time limits (which can be generous and are often implicit, e.g. by specifying a maximum age for a dependent child: see Immervoll, 2012a), work-related behavioural requirements may therefore be minimal or nonexistent. Around half the OECD countries now operate employment-conditional benefits, or in-work benefits of one type or another (a few countries not shown in the table have introduced such programmes since 2007).

The government has taken steps to improve quality of services over the past decade resulting in reduced waiting times. In 2005, a new law (Primary Health Care Act and Act on Specialized Medical Care) set maximum waiting times for health interventions: immediate contact with health centres during working hours by phone or personal visit must be guaranteed and non-urgent appointments must be made within 3 working days. Treatment needs must be assessed within 3 weeks following hospital referral and nonurgent hospital treatment must take place within 6 months thereafter.

Amended Law of 29 July 1993 on Water Protection and Management. Following a formal notice from the European Commission, the Regulation was modified in 2007 to strengthen the role of the Commission in granting derogations to water suppliers for non compliance with chemical parameters. Under the Regulation, such derogations may be granted, on request, provided they do not create potential human health hazards and where there is no other reasonable means to maintain water supply in the area. Directive 2006/7/EC retains only two of the three bacteriological parameters included in the old Directive 1976/160/EEC, namely intestinal enterococci and escherichia coli (which are assimilated with the parametres for thermotolerant coliform and fecal streptococcus).

In this paper, the authors conceptualize Open Data ecosystems by analysing the major stakeholders in the UK. The conceptualization is based on a review of popular Open Data definitions and business ecosystem theories, which are applied to qualitative empirical data. The work is informed by a combination of discourse analysis and a content analysis of in-depth interviews, undertaken during the summer of 2013. Drawing on the UK as a best practice example, the authors examine a set of structural business ecosystem properties: circular flow of resources, sustainability, demand that encourages supply, and dependence developing between suppliers, intermediaries, and users. The authors identify that gaps and shortcomings remain. Most prominently, demand is not yet fully encouraging supply and actors have yet to experience fully mutual interdependence.

Principal climate-related aid estimated at USD 12.8 bn on average per year over 2010 to 2011, with total climate-related aid, including principal and significant activities estimated at USD 21.1 bn on average over 2010 to 2011, based on reported donor commitments to the OECD DAC. The framing of the effectiveness issue has changed over time, primarily reflecting changes in the international community’s provisions on aid effectiveness. For example, the Board’s assessment of proposals is to take national strategies and co-benefits into account. A greater emphasis is also placed on monitoring and evaluation (AF, 201 la), drawing on DAC guidance.

Moreover, rules for data use have yet to be established, opening the way for misuse of firms’ data. Lastly, they must be able to implement the technological changes that can be to their advantage.

When preliminary research for this book started in 1998, General Augusto Pinochet was still head of the armed forces in Chile and enjoyed senatorial immunity as senator-for-life. Peru’s president Alberto Fujimori was undermining the authority of the judiciary to secure reelection while using secret death squads to finish his battle against the left-wing guerrilla movement Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). Although the Inter-American Court of Human Rights had handed down its landmark Velasquez Rodriguez decision in 1988, defining forced disappearance as a crime that violates nonderogable rights, judges in domestic courts across the continent had largely ignored this ruling. A general international criminal court to handle the most serious human rights violations—torture, extrajudicial killings, genocide, and other international crimes—had yet not been established.

They concluded that neither the existing UNFCCC reporting and review framework nor the transparency framework currently under development on adaptation require reporting of all of the information needed to fulfil the purposes of the global stocktake. Nevertheless, the country-specific approaches to adaptation monitoring and evaluation can potentially provide information to track progress towards national adaptation goals. By extension, national monitoring and evaluation approaches could serve as a potential information source for the global stocktake, in particular the following two objectives: “Recognize adaptation efforts of developing country Parties” (Article 7, paragraph 14 (a)) and Enhance the implementation of adaptation action taking into account the adaptation communication referred to in paragraph 10 of this Article” (Article 7, paragraph 14 (b)). The extent to which this information could be used is explained and caveated below.

Central to them is the well-being of care receivers. Yet in their design and implementation, care policies can contribute to gender equality, or be detrimental to it.

In contexts where taking an interest in the upbringing of an adolescent daughter is traditionally viewed as improper, it may be difficult for adolescent girls to form close relationships with their fathers even when fathers are at home. Adolescents are sensitive and strategic in seeking care from outside the immediate family when parental mental health is eroded in this way. It is common to have experienced the death of at least one family member, many have to deal with multiple bereavements. This responsibility can cause stress and anxiety, yet can also contribute to adolescent status in the home, self-esteem and protection of the domestic unit.
