Yemen Household Budget Survey 201314 The development objective is to fill the knowledge gap in Yemen on social and economic indicators and poverty by developing and implementing the next round of the Household Budget Survey (HBS). This will be achieved through supporting the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) of Yemen in survey design, sampling, enumeration, and data entry and processing.  Reliable contemporary data is urgently needed, all the more so in the context of the major crises Yemen has undergone recently; the last HBS was conducted in 2005-06. Survey-generated data will be used to support the poverty-reduction efforts of the Government of Yemen and of international donors by meeting their data and analytical needs for planning, decision-making and monitoring purposes.

Marshall Islands Building Energy Efficiency The objective of the proposed project is to improve energy efficiency in the building sector in Marshall Islands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help achieve the net zero emission target. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. At the national level, growing energy consumption in the public and private buildings is an increasing concern. High costs of electricity and fuel price fluctuations are the major threats to the economy and remain an obstacle to improving living standards and business profitability in RMI. Hence, there is a need to make new and existing public and private buildings more energy efficient. The anticipated socioeconomic benefits from the MIBEE project will be derived from removal of barriers that hamper the widespread application of building energy efficiency in RMI.   Energy-efficient appliances/equipment, EE&amp;C measures, and NbS adoption in the building environment are cost-effective solutions for improving the energy performance of buildings. Enabling financial mechanisms and better access to high-quality energy-efficient appliances/equipment for the private sector will improve quality of life and business profitability. Energy-efficient buildings will enhance living comfort and environment, and provide long-term energy cost reduction to government, personal businesses, and households, which helps lessen electricity energy expenditure and, thus, better financial conditions. The national benefit would be lower energy costs for the national and local governments allowing for extra flexibility in preparing annual operating budgets, and such cost savings in the government budget and expenditure system can be used in other areas that can improve public service deliveries (e.g., education and healthcare). In addition, reducing electricity consumption contributes to lower energy and power demand from grid power plants, reducing diesel fuel consumption and reducing air pollution; this leads to improvements in health for the entire RMI population and global GHG emission benefits.  The successful implementation of the proposed GEF project is expected to bring the indirect socio-economic benefit in enhancement of the development of small and medium-sized enterprises within the building industry supply chain in RMI. Other indirect socio-economic benefits include improved employment level through the which capacity building and training program will enhance capacities and skills of people, specifically women, employed in the building sector. The project also aims to put in dedicated efforts to strengthen and encourage gender-equality participation from women and men in the technical design and implementation of EE retrofitting and energy auditing through capacity development training. Gender considerations will be equally pronounced in key decision-making processes during project implementation.

Gaza joint response The bombardments in Gaza led to 253 deaths including 66 children, 17 elderly, 5 PwDs and 39 women as of 25 May 2021. It has also led to extensive damage in the agricultural sector, estimated at $32M (Ministry of Agriculture – MoA). In Khan Younis governate, 25% of the agricultural sector is estimated to be affected. Save the Children (SC) together with local partner BAYDER will therefore support the affected farmers to meet their immediate food needs and re-establish their livelihoods. Greenhouses are more vulnerable to damage from shelling than open farms which is why SC targets farmers whose greenhouses are damaged and whose livelihoods are impacted due to the bombardments. SC targets remote communities with limited access to social services which are traditionally more at risk of poverty and food insecurity. Amongst the greenhouse farmers, SC targets households (HH) with a lack of income such as women-headed households as they are less capable of restoring their greenhouses and thus more at risk of food insecurity. Furthermore, SC will target HH with a higher risk of malnutrition due to food insecurity such as HH with pregnant and lactating women and children under five.
DRA Gaza Crisis 2023 A new escalation of violence is currently unfolding after rockets fired and an incursion into Israel by Palestinian armed groups in Gaza in the early hours of the 7th of October. The operation has been claimed by De Facto Authorities as a response to recent Israeli military operations in the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and increased settler violence in the West Bank. Following a declaration of war by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel cut off electricity supply to Gaza on the evening of 7th October and has launched a bombardment of retaliatory air strikes on the strip, after warning besieged Gazans to leave the city. Israeli Defense Forces have mobilized dozens of tanks to southern Israel, where they remain engaged in a firefight with Hamas militants who are said to have rearmed in Ashkelon and other areas. Hamas has continued to launch rockets into Israel, hitting the city of Sderot. The Israeli military said fighting was underway in seven border communities and an army base.
Hundreds of civilians have been killed in Israel and Gaza. As of 9th October, UNOCHA's third flash update indicates that at least 687 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3800 injured and 900 Israelis have been killed and a further 2,616 injured. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health at least 73 children in Gaza have been killed so far. At the time of writing, the number of Israeli children killed had not been confirmed. With continued hostilities, those numbers are expected to rise in both the oPt and Israel, including among children. Hostilities so far have included airstrikes in densely populated areas of Gaza and indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian areas inside Israel, with reported damage and destruction of civilian objects including houses, hospitals, schools and ambulances.
Food security in Gaza has deteriorated over the last years with 63 per cent of people in the Gaza Strip being food insecure and dependent on international assistance. In addition, with 81.5 per cent of the population living in poverty, an overall unemployment rate of 46.6 per cent (48.1 per cent for Palestine Refugees living in the camps) at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and an unemployment rate of 62.3 per cent among youth (15-29 years, refugees and non-refugees), the already fragile humanitarian situation in Gaza threatens to deteriorate further because of this escalation. SC and its two local partners aim to provide a comprehensive response in the Gaza Strip, addressing the critical needs of the most affected HHs. Our proposed intervention encompasses MHPSS, Child Protection, MPC, GBV prevention, and distribution of dignity, family recreational and baby kits, reaching more than 16.400 people. We’ll ensure protection mainstreaming by integrating community sensitization about gender/protection related issues in the activities and referrals. Most vulnerable households, such as women, children, elderly, IDPs, and PWD.
Building capacity for critical thinking enhancement in African Higher Education Critical thinking is widely acknowledged as being key to individual capabilities and the development of societies. Ghana and other African countries are in great need of graduates with highly developed critical thinking skills, so as to address the challenges of poverty reduction, democratic governance and environmental sustainability. While universities have great potential for developing critical thinking, to do so effectively they need a conducive learning environment. Evidence from our earlier study "Pedagogies for critical thinking: innovation and outcomes in African higher education" showed that there was unevenness between institutions, but that some were facilitating rapid improvements. The most significant factors were seen to be lecturers' orientation towards a 'facilitation' rather than 'transmission' approach, a shared collaborative culture in departments, and flexible assessment regulations.

Building on these findings, this project aims to enhance impact on universities in Ghana and beyond. Through reflexive workshops with academic staff on a cascade model, it enhances the teaching practice of lecturers in five Ghanaian universities. It also aims to develop a broader transformation of teaching and learning in the institutions through strengthening of support units within universities, development of critical thinking assessments and the creation of a lecturer network. Finally, it addresses the macro level of policy through engagement with national higher education commissions, particularly in the area of assessment.

Cannabis Africana: Drugs and Development in Africa The proposed research project will develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of cannabis in Africa, focusing not only on its 'traditional' uses, but on its contemporary growth as an economic cash crop and source of livelihoods, in a global context where drug policy is in flux. To do this, the project focuses attention on four interrelated areas, all of which draw on newly gathered empirical data in 3 chosen sites: South-Western Nigeria, Western Kenya; South Africa's Eastern Cape.

Organizational Perspectives on Accountability and Learning (OPAL): School Management Models and the Social Impact of Schooling in Mumbai and Kathmandu The project will investigate how the accountability of schools differs according the school management model and whether accountability is linked to differences in learning outcomes. Recently, a great deal of attention from international development donors has focused on new models of school management (e.g. community-managed schooling or privatization), however there is insufficient data on the extent to which these management models are linked to differences in perceived accountability and/or students' learning. Furthermore, the exclusive focus on cognitive outcomes does not capture schools' social contribution in terms of social inclusion and participation.

We propose to take a more sophisticated approach to accountability than previous research by examining the perceived accountability of multiple stakeholders: parents, teachers and school management. We also take an expanded view of accountability, drawing upon the concepts of social return impact and blended value accounting to consider how the outcomes of education can include increased social inclusion by addressing marginalities along the lines of caste and gender in addition to cognitive outcomes.

Bridging the Gap: Examining Disability and Development in Four African Countries Disabled people are among the poorest and most socially excluded groups in every society (World Bank, 2011). They are disproportionately represented in lower income countries and it has long been argued that poverty and disability are both a cause and a consequence of each other (DFID 2000; Yeo and Moore 2003). Despite some attempts to include disabled people in global development and poverty alleviation strategies, overall these have not been done in a systematic or sustainable way This research builds upon previous work undertaken by the Centre, including in the DFID-funded Cross-Cutting Disability Research Programme, which identified a series of common systemic barriers that disabled people encounter when accessing services, ranging from attitudinal, financial and non-financial resources, and lack information and inclusion in national level poverty reduction strategies. This research will build upon this work to inform understanding of the correlation that between these barriers, disability, and multidimensional poverty

It must be recognised that in settings where everyone is poor, where few people access wage labour, where school attendance is paltry, healthcare access is limited and social protection is almost non-existent then disabled people are not necessarily very different from their neighbours. Yet, as countries develop, there is emerging evidence of a 'development gap' (Groce and Kett, 2013; Groce et al., 2011; Lang and Murangira, 2009), whereby disabled people fall behind. Building on the World Report on Disability (2011), this study will contribute to understanding how this development gap occurs, and what can be done to bridge the gap - a key and original theme of this study

The research will focus on 4 low-income Sub-Saharan African countries: Kenya, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia. All have shown some development over the past decades, but there is still variation within their rankings in the Human Development Index (HDI) to enable cross-country comparisons to be made and provide an in-depth, nuanced understanding of how disabled people are more at risk of being excluded as social and economic development increases.

Parliamentary effectiveness: public engagement for poverty reduction in Bangladesh and Ethiopia We focus on "pre-emptive" approaches, which aim to restrict grants of such patents (rather than rely on litigation to invalidate patents after they issue). Pre-emptive measures have been widely promoted by analysts and international organizations. While countries' rights to adopt such measures are an acknowledged "flexibility" in the international patent regime, and while academics and development agencies encourage actively countries to take advantage of these flexibilities in designing national laws and institutions, little is known about what countries are adopting what sorts of measures, and to what effect.

The power of 'suggestion': an ethnographic study of therapeutic vernacularisation, sociality, and governance in Indonesia's hypnosis boom This project, which builds on pilot research by the PI, will be the first ever dedicated ethnographic study of hypnotherapy. Combining intensive participant observation of the hypnotherapy scene in three Indonesian towns with semi-structured interviews of hypnotherapists and their clients, it will examine why so many people in Indonesia have come to embrace hypnotherapy, why they practice it as they do, and the influence that learning about hypnotherapy has had on their everyday lives. Time will also be spent conducting research in Malaysia (Indonesia's primary export market for
hypnotherapy training) and discussing the data with British hypnosis associations, so as to illuminate, and gain critical perspectives on, the ways that the experience and practice of hypnotherapy can be shaped by specific national histories and cultural traditions.
The project addresses core theoretical issues in anthropology. A priority for medical anthropology is to understand how and why cosmopolitan therapeutic forms are embraced, rejected, or modified as they move around the globe. This project will
illuminate Indonesians' motivations for engaging with hypnotherapy, the challenges therapists encounter as they attempt to implement principles and procedures devised in Euro-American settings within the Indonesian context, and the strategies
they adopt to overcome these. It will thus shed light on how and why therapeutic vernacularisation occurs. But it will also make a contribution to psychological anthropology by revealing the possible limitations of Euro-American theories of
hypnosis and suggestion for understanding hypnotic interactions in a setting where cultural traditions, postcolonial histories and perspectives on one's global situation differ markedly from those in the secular West.

The Next Frontier of Climate Policy: Joining the Dots of Bricks, Trade and Embodied Emissions from Cambodia and Bangladesh to the UK Building on the achievements of the ESRC-DFID funded project Blood Bricks, in Cambodia and Safe and Sustainable Cities, in Bangladesh, this program aims to extend the in-country benefit of those projects upwards and outwards in order to examine the intersections between poverty, environmental sustainability and fragility of livelihoods. Bringing together experts in supply chain analysis, embodied emissions, and construction to work with government and industry on the environmental and human impacts of international trade, the impact activities will frame the issue of embodied emissions not only in terms of carbon emissions, but also poverty and inequality, highlighting how international trade and investment serve, as shown in our prior grants, to exacerbate poverty in the global South due to the 'close links between climate change and social inequality' (Islam and Winkel, 2017).
