Economics of NCDs in low and middle-income countries Aspects économiques des maladies non transmissibles dans les pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire This project will contribute to strategic program development aimed at strengthening innovative, cutting-edge economic analyses and research capacity in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) that support the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It will engage senior members of the Applied Economics and Development Research Group at the American University of Beirut to carry out a state-of-the-art review and synthesis on the economics of NCDs, with the aim of building the case for increased investments in disease prevention. 

It will also contribute new analyses of research gaps and needs, and guide IDRC in its efforts to strengthen LMIC networks of researchers in applied economics who are interested in population health policy interventions and the assessment of associated social, environmental, and economic trade-offs. This includes targeting researchers in universities with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa region, international development agencies (e.g. Word Bank, UN System, WHO) and other independent research institutes (e.g. Economic Research Forum, World Economic Forum). Ce projet facilitera l’élaboration de programmes stratégiques visant à renforcer les analyses économiques innovantes et de premier plan, ainsi que les capacités de recherche dans les pays à revenu faible et à revenu intermédiaire, tranche inférieure qui favorisent la prévention des maladies non transmissibles. Il réunira les principaux membres du groupe Applied Economics and Development Research Group de l’Université américaine de Beyrouth pour qu’ils effectuent un examen approfondi et une synthèse des aspects économiques des maladies non transmissibles, afin de mettre au point des arguments en faveur d’une augmentation des investissements dans la prévention des maladies. 

Cela permettra également de réaliser de nouvelles analyses pour dégager les lacunes et les besoins en matière de recherche, et d’aider le CRDI à renforcer les réseaux de chercheurs en économie appliquée dans les pays à revenu faible et à revenu intermédiaire, tranche inférieure qui s’intéressent aux interventions politiques en santé des populations et à l’évaluation des compromis associés sur le plan social, environnemental et économique. Pour ce faire, on entend cibler les chercheurs dans les universités qui se focalisent sur le Moyen-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord, les organismes internationaux chargés du développement (p. ex., la Banque mondiale, l’ONU ou l’OMS) et d’autres instituts de recherche indépendants, tels que le Forum de recherche économique ou le Forum économique mondial.
Development Innovation Fund for Global Health Research Fonds d'innovation pour le développement (FID) aux fins de la recherche en santé mondiale The Government of Canada has created a fund to support health research and innovation aimed at improving the lives of the world's poor. The Development Innovation Fund (DIF) will support scientists and scientific institutions engaged in health research through a series of peer-reviewed grant competitions.

Improving Gender-responsive Programming in Technology and Innovation Améliorer les programmes adaptés aux sexes dans le domaine de la technologie et de l'innovation Despite efforts in recent years in gender-related activities within IDRC's Technology and Innovation program area, an external review found that less than 10% of sampled projects were considered gender-responsive. Within the program area, there are questions about what constitutes gender mainstreaming, gender integration, and gender responsiveness, and how this translates into technology and innovation programming and management. With the assistance of technical experts in the field of gender equality, IDRC aims to develop a strategy for improving gender-related outcomes across its two programs in Technology and Innovation: Networked Economies and Foundations for Innovation. A facilitated learning process with program staff will be based on two workshops: the first will develop an understanding of gender equality and analyze current programming, and the second will build on this analysis to draft a strategy for each program area. Following completion of this first action-learning phase, it is expected that a second phase will focus on development of longer-term program plans for gender capacity building with partners and grantees. En dépit des activités sexospécifiques menées ces dernières années dans le cadre du programme de technologie et d'innovation du CRDI, un examen externe a révélé que moins de 10 p. 100 des projets de l'échantillon étaient adaptés en fonction des sexes. Au sein du domaine de programme, on s'interroge sur ce qui constitue la norme sexospécifique, l'intégration des facteurs sexospécifiques et la sensibilité aux facteurs sexospécifiques, ainsi que sur la manière dont ces questions se reflètent dans la programmation et la gestion relatives à la technologie et à l'innovation.

Avec l'aide d'experts techniques dans le domaine de l'égalité des sexes, le CRDI a l'intention d'élaborer une stratégie pour améliorer les résultats liés aux sexes à l'échelle de ses deux programmes de technologie et d'innovation : Économies en réseaux et Fondements pour l'innovation. Dans le cadre d'un processus d'apprentissage facilité, le personnel des programmes pourra assister à deux ateliers : le premier cherchera à comprendre l'égalité des sexes et analysera les programmes en cours, et le deuxième se fondera sur cette analyse pour rédiger une ébauche de stratégie pour chaque domaine de programme.

À l'issue de cette première phase d'apprentissage par l'action, on prévoit une deuxième phase visant l'élaboration de plans de programmes à plus long terme aux fins du renforcement des capacités en matière de sexospécificité avec les partenaires et les bénéficiaires.
Improving Youth Employment Policies in Francophone Africa Améliorer les politiques d'emploi des jeunes en Afrique francophone Africa's persistent job crisis calls for more effective employment policies, including training programs and support for job searches. This project will address the crisis through recommendations that will improve employment policies in francophone Africa.   Youth employment initiatives in Africa Over the last two decades, African governments established employment agencies to help youth integrate into the labour market. For example, Senegal launched the National Agency for Youth Employment to help 113,000 young people find jobs by 2017. However, the effectiveness of these agencies is limited. Recommendations to improve job outlooks This project will generate actionable recommendations for policymakers and employment agency managers. It will also provide practical suggestions to help the business community take advantage of employment agencies when filling vacancies. The project team will bring together local experts and representatives of national employment agencies in five francophone countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including Cameroon, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Republic of Congo, and Senegal. It will aim to strengthen the agencies by providing evidence on what works and what does not work to address Africa's employment problem. La crise de l'emploi persistante en Afrique exige des politiques d'emploi plus efficaces, y compris des programmes de formation et un soutien à la recherche d'emploi. Ce projet abordera la crise au moyen de recommandations visant à améliorer les politiques d'emploi en Afrique francophone.

Initiatives d'emploi des jeunes en Afrique
Au cours des vingt dernières années, des gouvernements africains ont mis sur pied des bureaux de placement afin d'aider les jeunes à intégrer le marché du travail. Par exemple, le Sénégal a lancé l'Agence nationale pour la promotion de l'emploi des jeunes dans le but d'aider 113 000 jeunes à trouver un emploi d'ici 2017. Cependant, l'efficacité de ces organismes est limitée.

Recommandations visant à améliorer les perspectives d'emploi
Le projet donnera lieu à la formulation de recommandations concrètes à l'intention des responsables des politiques et des gestionnaires des bureaux de placement. Il fournira également des suggestions pratiques pour aider les entreprises à faire appel à ces bureaux pour doter leurs postes vacants.

L'équipe du projet rassemblera des experts locaux et des représentants de bureaux nationaux de placement dans cinq pays francophones de l'Afrique subsaharienne, à savoir le Cameroun, le Tchad, la Cote d'Ivoire, la République du Congo et le Sénégal. Elle tentera de renforcer les bureaux en leur fournissant des données probantes sur ce qui contribue, ou non, à lutter contre le problème du chômage en Afrique.
