Abstract:
The aims of this article are twofold. First, from a historical perspective, it examines the recipient-to-donor transition of five Asian aid donors, namely Japan, Korea, China, India, and Thailand. Specifically, it examines the evolution of their foreign aid programs and practices. Second, it analyzes the effects of Asian aid donors on the international aid regime. We argue that the mix of economic and security goals, which motivated Asian donors to develop their initial economic cooperation programs, have persisted over time. This explains why Asian aid donors have allotted a disproportionate share of their assistance to neighboring countries and their use of foreign aid as a key tool of their commercial and diplomatic policies. Moreover, we contend that the rise and experience of Asian aid donors have created a new dynamic to donor–recipient partnerships and development cooperation like new approaches and modalities. Key findings of this study add to the growing literature on emerging donors and aid effectiveness debate.

Abstract:
Objectives: Asians represent the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. Despite significant diversity within the group, many transplant studies treat Asians as a homogeneous entity. We compared patient and graft survival among major Asian eth- nicities to determine whether any subgroup has superior out- comes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of kidney trans- plants on Asian and White patients between 2001 and 2012. Co- variates included gender, age, comorbidities, and donor category. Primary outcomes included one-year patient and graft survival. Secondary outcomes included delayed graft function (DGF) and rejection as cause of graft loss and death. Results: Ninety-one Asian patients were identified. Due to the large proportion of Chinese patients (n=37), we grouped other Asians into one entity (n=54) for statistical comparison among Chinese, other Asians, and Whites (n=346). Chinese subjects had significantly lower body mass index (BMI) (p=0.001) and had the lowest proportion of living donors (p>0.001). Patient survival was highest in our Chinese cohort (p>0.001)Discussion: Our study confirms outcome differences among Asian subgroups in kidney transplantation. Chinese demonstrate better patient survival at one year than Whites and non-Chinese Asians despite fewer live donors. Lower BMI scores may partly explain this. Larger, long-term studies are needed to elucidate outcome disparities among Asian subgroups

Abstract:
Purpose – This purpose of this paper is to provide the context in which this special issue is published. This special issue highlights the matters related to the Asian countries which provide assistance to developing countries for their advancement of education. There are an increasing number of donor countries which are formerly recipients of development assistance. Their emergence as donors is changing the landscape of international educational development. Being outside of the self-regulating community of traditional donors, they bring different logics and motivations to this field that often go beyond the frame of meaning making among traditional donors. Asia-Pacific region is unique in the sense that it has both traditional and new types of donors. The former group includes Japan and the USA, while the latter has Korea, China, India, and many others. Design/methodology/approach – As the introduction to the collection of articles which introduce characteristics of diverse donors (traditional and nontraditional) in the Asia-Pacific region, this paper discusses first, changing the normative framework toward the target year of achieving Education for All goals, which is 2015; second, the background for the nontraditional donors to increase their presence and the changed landscape of international educational development; and third, commonalities and differences among Asian donors in terms of their philosophies, structures, and histories. Findings – This paper maps out the locations of each Asian donors discussed in the respective country cases to follow and highlights some Asian characteristics. Originality/value – The findings would hint at the presence of principles and logics of educational cooperation which cannot be fully grasped by applying widely diffused western notions of educational development.

Abstract:
Background Favorable long-term and short-term graft survival and patient survival after kidney transplantation (KT) from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) have been reported. However, few studies have evaluated effects of donor AKI status on graft outcomes after KT in Asian population. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate graft function after KTs from donors with AKI compared to matched KTs from donors without AKI using a multicenter cohort in Korea. Methods We analyzed a total of 1,466 KTs collected in Korean Organ Transplant Registry between April 2014 and December 2017. KTs from AKI donors (defined as donors with serum creatinine level ≥ 2 mg/dL) and non-AKI donors (275 cases for each group) were enrolled using a 1:1 propensity score matching. Graft outcomes including graft and patient survival, delayed graft function (DGF), rejection rate, and serially measured estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were evaluated. Results After propensity matching, KTs from AKI donors showed higher rate of DGF (44.7% vs. 24.0%, p < 0.001). However, the rejection rate was not significantly different between the two groups (KTs from AKI donors vs. KTs from non-AKI donors). eGFRs measured after 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years were not significantly different by donor AKI status. With median follow-up duration of 3.52 years, cox proportional hazards models revealed hazard ratio of 0.973 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.584 to 1.621), 1.004 (95% CI, 0.491 to 2.054) and 0.808 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.426 to 1.532) for overall graft failure, death-censored graft failure and patient mortality, respectively, in KTs from AKI donors compared to KTs from non-AKI donors as a reference. Conclusions KTs from AKI donors showed comparable outcomes to KTs from non-AKI donors, despite a higher incidence of DGF. Results of this study supports the validity of using kidneys from deceased AKI donors in Asian population.

Abstract:
Abstract A reliable estimate of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization response to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) may identify donors at risk for poor mobilization and help optimize transplantation approaches. We studied 639 allogeneic PBSC collections performed in 412 white, 75 black, 116 Hispanic, and 36 Asian/Pacific adult donors who were prescribed G-CSF dosed at either 10 or 16 μg/kg per day for 5 days followed by large-volume leukapheresis (LVL). Additional LVL (mean, 11 L) to collect lymphocytes for donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) and other therapies was performed before G-CSF administration in 299 of these donors. Day 5 preapheresis blood CD34+ cell counts after mobilization were significantly lower in whites compared with blacks, Hispanics, and Asian/Pacific donors (79 vs 104, 94, and 101 cells/μL, P < .001). In addition, donors who underwent lymphapheresis before mobilization had higher CD34+ cell counts than donors who did not (94 vs 79 cells/μL, P < .001). In multivariate analysis, higher post–G-CSF CD34+ cell counts were most strongly associated with the total amount of G-CSF received, followed by the pre–G-CSF platelet count, pre–G-CSF mononuclear count, and performance of prior LVL for DLI collection. Age, white ethnicity, and female gender were associated with significantly lower post–G-CSF CD34+ cell counts.

Abstract:
BackgroundA living-donor kidney transplant is the best treatment for most people with kidney failure. Population cohort studies have shown that lifetime living kidney donor risk is modified by sex, age, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), comorbidity and relationship to the recipient.ObjectivesWe investigated whether the UK population of living kidney donors has changed over time, investigating changes in donor demographics.DesignWe undertook a cross-sectional analysis of the UK living kidney donor registry between January 2006 to December 2017. Data were available on living donor sex, age, ethnicity, BMI, hypertension and relationship to recipient.SettingUK living donor registry.Participants11 651 consecutive living kidney donors from January 2006 to December 2017.Outcome measuresLiving kidney donor demographic characteristics (sex, age, ethnicity, BMI and relationship to the transplant recipient) were compared across years of donation activity. Donor characteristics were also compared across different ethnic groups.ResultsOver the study period, the mean age of donors increased (from 45.8 to 48.7 years, p<0.001), but this change appears to have been limited to the White population of donors. Black donors were younger than White donors, and a greater proportion were siblings of their intended recipient and male. The proportion of non-genetically related non-partner donations increased over the 12-year period of analysis (p value for linear trend=0.002).ConclusionsThe increasing age of white living kidney donors in the UK has implications for recipient and donor outcomes. Despite an increase in the number of black, Asian and minority ethnic individuals waitlisted for a kidney transplant, there has been no increase in the ethnic diversity of UK living kidney donors. Black donors in the UK may be at a much greater risk of developing kidney failure due to accumulated risks: whether these risks are being communicated needs to be investigated.

Abstract:
The starting point for the study is concern for the quality of education available to the rural child in Lao PDR. Donor agencies are supporting the Government of Lao in education reform and the study explores how education policy becomes practice in one small, poor, socialist, country. Using a variety of research methodologies based in critical ethnography and including interviews and observations, the study explores some significant discourses that make up the discourse of donor supported education reform. A contention of the study is meanings and ultimately changed practice are generated in action and reaction between constituent discourses, at a number of levels and in a range of contexts. Attention is given to the use and impact of the concept, ‘capacity development’, in development aid and the study questions the inexplicit manner of its use and its negative connotation. Data inspection for this study is based in Fairclough’s procedures for critical discourse analysis, with adaptation to the particular social, political, cultural and language contexts of Lao PDR. The procedure was found a useful tool for following policy into practice at classroom level. The study is also able to question how far either research or policy is emancipatory.

Full text
Abstract:
A pro-poor market-based approach has increasingly been adopted by INGOs as a livelihoods rebuilding strategy following destructive armed-conflicts. However, there remains a gap in knowledge of the feasibility of such an approach in post-conflict contexts. This research seeks to address this gap. It questions whether pro-poor and donor-led market-based approaches work within post-conflict environments and, if so, under what conditions? The results are from an analysis of case study-based data collected from twenty-one microenterprise groups from three diverse counties of Liberia, six years after the armed conflict. The research reveals that local context in post-conflict environments play an important role in the extent to which a market-based approach might achieve its underlying objectives of broad-based, sustainability and growth enterprises. On one hand, the losses and changes in the entitlement systems of the poor restrict their ability to both operate and to potentially sustain market-based livelihoods promoted through donor-led initiatives beyond the period of direct support. On the other, the extent to which conflict affects local market-systems also shapes outcomes of a post-conflict market-based approach. Shortcomings within the private and government sectors hinder application of market-based principles by increasing the role of the INGO to more than a facilitating role, thus further compromising sustainability of microenterprises. Positively, results suggest that, in spite of low income gains, a market based approach holds potential to empower direct beneficiaries through skills gains, improve their self-esteem and contribute towards peacebuilding within local communities. To further advance this field of research, future donor-led programme design and implementation needs to balance the post-conflict reconstruction urgency with context-specificity, not only that related to the target groups, but also the extent to which the wider and immediate market environment are able to support a market-based approach. Hurried actions risk exclusion of the most vulnerable groups in society through both direct and indirect factors arising from conflict. Yet, a broad-based economic development is essential in a post-conflict environment to reduce both underdevelopment and the risk to return to war.

Abstract:
Both Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan were part of the former Soviet Union and were integrated into its political, economic and governance systems. As Union republics, they remained isolated from the outside world, with little direct interaction with external actors. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, both Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan established relations with a number of bilateral donors and multilateral development agencies. Despite their many similarities (e.g., social, cultural, religious, linguistic, geographic) and a shared history, the two countries’ post-Soviet development trajectories diverged dramatically. While Kyrgyzstan quickly launched transition reforms, liberalizing its economy and polity with support from external donors, Turkmenistan adopted a more gradual approach to political and economic reform and managed to minimize the influence of external actors in domestic affairs. This thesis analyzes the donor-recipient interaction in Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan across three sectors: governance, rural development, and environment. The analysis focuses on the management of aid through an anthropological, political economy-directed inquiry of relations between foreign donors and aid recipients at the micro level (daily interactions in managing aid). Collective action theory, evolutionary theory and adaptive behavior approaches are utilized to analyze the interaction on micro-level. However, the analysis is also situated in a broader, macro-level context of development and security priorities of the two states, for which the realist branch of the international relations theories is applied. Methodologically, the study is based on the triangulation of findings from various sources, including the content analysis of primary and secondary sources as well as the analysis of over 60 semi-structured interviews involving government and donor officials from the two countries. The thesis does not attempt to analyze whether development aid was effective. Instead, using similar analyses of aid interactions (Mosse, 2005; Swedlund, 2017), this thesis aims to investigate how aid interactions ‘happen’ (Wedel, 1998). While I agree that the sustainability of development aid is hampered by the inability of both donors and recipients to ‘make credible commitments’ (Swedlund, 2017), in this thesis I argue that aid interactions are also influenced by other factors, namely the political sensitivity of the sectors to which the aid is given (governance, rural development, environment), regime characteristics, availability or absence of natural resource-based revenues, and geopolitics. These factors, taken together, affect the aid bargaining process in important ways. The thesis makes a three-fold contribution to the existing knowledge on aid relations. First, it expands the knowledge on the agency of recipient governments by putting them at the core of the analysis. Second, it contributes to the very limited number of cross-sectoral and cross-country comparative studies on both aid management and on public policy making in general and in Central Asia in particular. Thirdly, it provides a detailed account of how development aid has been managed in Turkmenistan, a country on which no serious academic literature related to aid management has been produced to date.

Abstract:
In the post-WWII era, industrialized global aid powers defined and codified development initiatives through the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). However, the late 20th and early 21st centuries witnessed a shift in the global balance of power toward the Indo-Pacific region with the rise of Asian powers. In 1989, Japan emerged as a leader among established OECD-DAC nations and asserted a unique development philosophy in addressing African development issues. In the 21st century, the growth in foreign development diplomacy by South-South partners, most notably the People’s Republic of China (PRC, China) and India, has challenged the material and ontological foundations of “aid” and development. This thesis leverages a realist-constructivist framework to analyze the characteristics of Japan, China, and India’s strategic engagement in Africa as a new form of development power. The analysis reveals how the development narratives of Asian powers have disrupted the established norms and principles of OECD-DAC donorrecipient relationships, development archetypes, and core values. The three Asian donors cultivate unique portfolios of ontological, material, and soft power paradigms that are reshaping established 20th century OECD-DAC aid constructs. Distinct from 20th century constructs, this new mode of development cooperation is bolstered by the cultivation of a shared historical context and social values that bind African states and peoples with Asian brands. In an era of shifting global power, Japan, China, and India have forged an alternative mechanism to engage with and shape the international order via development cooperation. Engagement with Africa’s 54 diverse nations, regional blocs, and the African Union offers established and emerging Asian donor powers a mechanism to define the international order on their own terms. An in-depth analysis of Japanese, Chinese, and Indian development fora in Africa, reveals how each Asian donor cultivates a unique development brand engineered for a highly interconnected 21st century development landscape. Through the application of disruptive development ontologies in African engagement, Japan, China, and India have defined new modes of cooperation built around their distinctive worldviews, values, and norms.

Full text
Abstract:
Because of the complex nature of transboundary water governance, and the inherent unpredictability of complex adaptive systems, this thesis argues that international actors alone are unable to directly bring about positive water interaction between riparian states. This thesis analyses a major World Bank-led program of transboundary water governance, and provides a critique of the recent trend in international development to address transboundary water conflicts in developing countries through foreign-led interventions. This thesis examines the perspectives and needs of stakeholders affected by the South Asia Water Initiative (SAWI) to evaluate the effect that this, and other donor-led processes, may have on the quality of transboundary water interaction between riparian states. These in-basin views have remained absent from, or secondary to, international assessments and approaches to addressing water conflict and cooperation. The portion of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna mega-basin that is shared between Nepal, Bhutan, northern India, and Bangladesh is one of the poorest, most densely populated, ecologically vulnerable, and socially and politically unstable in the world. It is possible that water will be a stress multiplier in socio-political conflict in this problemshed. Reducing the potential for transboundary water conflict by increasing cooperation between riparian states has been of particular interest to policymakers, aid donors, and scholars of conflict for more than a decade. The World Bank began to intervene in the transboundary water governance in South Asia in the mid-2000s, and SAWI is its most ambitious of its initiatives in this regard. Yet, in more than a decade of existence, neither SAWI nor other international initiatives, such as those of the Australian and UK governments, have been able to improve transboundary water interactions between India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. An analysis of more than 30 semi-structured interviews with subject matter experts from within the Ganges-Brahmaputra problemshed reveals several weaknesses in the approach of these interventions in improving transboundary water interactions. The methods of Track II dialogue and benefit sharing favoured by the World Bank are found to have very limited effect on increasing transboundary water cooperation. In addition, stakeholders identified a number of contextual factors that make the goal of increased transboundary water cooperation particularly challenging in this region: addressing transboundary water issues is not a top priority for the riparian states; there is significant resentment about India’s hydro-hegemony; and international actors in general do not have substantial support of the elites in the region. But the analysis suggests some ways forward for increasing water cooperation and decreasing water conflict in this, as well as other, problemsheds. This thesis argues that there is no one single approach or actor that can definitively improve transboundary water interaction. As such, international organisation and foreign aid donors should not expect to have significant or immediate effects on transboundary water cooperation, but there may nonetheless be a role, albeit highly circumscribed, for them in slowly ‘chipping away’ (in the words of one regional analyst) at the complex and cumbersome problem of water conflicts through the approaches identified as desirable by the stakeholders within the problemshed.

Abstract:
AbstractSDG 8’s goal is to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth; full and productive employment; and decent work for all. This chapter examines the experiences of East Asian developing countries in achieving rapid and inclusive economic growth by focusing on the role of international tradeand foreign direct investmentnexus created through global value chains (GVCs)by multinational corporations (MNCs). GVCs enabled participating companies and countries to improve productivity, contributing to economic growth. The factors attributable to the participation in GVCs include high competitiveness of local companies and open business environment created by the Asian government. Moreover, construction and maintaining well-functioning soft (e.g., education and legal systems) and hard (e.g., transportation and communication systems) infrastructure by the government and international donors contributed to the creation of business-friendly environment. Faced with growing protectionism and the threats of growing US-China rivalry, infectious diseases, climate change, etc., maintaining an open and transparent rules-based business environment is crucially important to further achieving sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. In the light of absence of effective global economic order, exemplified by ineffectiveness of the World Trade Organizationin trade liberalization as well as dispute settlement, regional economic frameworks such as the CPTPP and RCEP in the Asia and Pacific region would be proven to be effective to achieve the goal.

Abstract:
AbstractCentral Asia, once part of the Soviet Union's southern belt, quickly became a focal point for competing interests and donor influence after gaining independence in the early 1990s. Players in this arena include the so-called Western actors such as the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as well as major regional powers such as Russia and China. The main objective of the chapter is to examine how and in what ways the domestic rule of law institutions and the contexts of donor and organization development policies differ from each other, and how this gap is translated into rule of law promotion approaches abroad. This question is examined within the realm of externally assisted rule of law reform using the Central Asian region as a case study. To answer this question, this chapter compares rule of law promotion strategies of the EU, the OSCE, Russia, and China by breaking down development policies according to contextual understanding, goals, organization, promotion approaches, and objectives. Based on these comparative analyses, the chapter examines how the EU and the OSCE position themselves in the midst of a fierce struggle between the major regional powers in the still near and yet so distant Central Asia.

Abstract:
AbstractExtreme weather events, especially heat waves, have become more frequent with global warming. High temperature significantly affects world food security by decreasing crop yield. Rice is intensively planted in tropical and subtropical areas in Asia, where high temperature has become a major factor affecting rice production. Rice is sensitive to high temperature, especially at booting and flowering stages. Rice varieties tolerant of high temperature are rare, and only a few heat-tolerant rice varieties have been identified. High temperature at booting and flowering stages causes sterile pollen, decreased pollen shedding, and poor pollen germination, which finally lead to a yield decrease. Heat-tolerant QTLs have been identified in different studies, but new breeding lines with considerable heat tolerance have not been bred using identified heat-tolerance donors and QTLs. Research on heat-tolerant donor identification, QTL mapping, gene cloning, and large-scale phenotyping technology is important for developing heat-tolerant rice varieties.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most widely spread arboviruses worldwide and a highly significant pathogen in humans and animals. Despite frequent outbreaks and endemic transmission being reported in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), seroprevalence studies of WNV in Qatar are highly lacking. Aim: This study aims to investigate the actual prevalence of WNV among local and expatriate communities in the Qatar using a large sample size of seemingly healthy donors. Method: A total of 1992 serum samples were collected from donors of age 18 or older and were tested for the presence of WNV antibodies. Serion enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) commercial microplate kits were used to detect the presence of the WNV IgM and IgG. The seropositivity was statistically analyzed using SPSS software with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: The seroprevalence of anti-WNV IgG and IgM in Qatar was 10.3% and 3.4%, respectively. The country-specific seroprevalence according to nationality for WNV IgG and IgM, respectively, were Sudan (37.0%, 10.0%), Egypt (31.6%, 4.4%), India (13.4%, 3.2%), Yemen(10.2%, 7.0%), Pakistan (8.6%, 2.7%), Iran (10.6%, 0.0%), Philippines (5.4%, 0.0%), Jordan(6.8%, 1.1%), Syria (2.6%, 9.6%), Palestine (2.6%, 0.6%), Qatar (1.6%, 1.7%), and Lebanon (0.9%, 0.0%). The prevalence of both IgM and IgG was significantly correlated with the nationality (p≤0.001). Conclusion: Among these tested nationalities, Qatar national has a relatively low burden of WNV disease. The highest prevalence of WNV was found in the Sub Saharan African nationalities like Sudan and Egypt. The seroprevalence of WNV is different from the previously reported arboviruses such as CHIKV and DENV, which was highest among Asian countries (India and Philippines). Further confirmatory tests such as viral neutralization assays are needed to confirm the IgM seropositivity in these samples since these samples could be a source of viral transmission through blood donation.

Abstract:
Geographical and racial differences in the incidence of thrcmbo-embolisn could be related to basic dissimilaritiesin the haemostatic system in different ethnic groups. However reliable comparative population studies in haemostatic parameters is lacking. The large expatriate ccmnunity in Saudi Arabia offers such a chance.Subjects tested were all healthy blood donors (aged 20-50 years) and were classified on the basis of ethnic origininto three categories (1) Arabs n=750, (2) Westerns (Americans and Europeans) n=400, and (3) S.E. Asians (Filipinos) n=570. The measurements done included PT, PTT, TT, Reptilase time, Plasma fibrinogen, AT III, Plasminogen, F.VIII:C, FX, α-2 Antiplasmin and Platelet aggregation in response to ADP (20.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 & 0.25 uM), Collagen, Arachidonic acid, Adrenaline and Ristocetin (1.5, 1.2 & 1.0 mg/ml).There were no significant ethnic differences in the measured plasmatic clotting tests. This contrasts the finding of many smaller studies. Besides no significant ethnic differences were noted in platelet aggregation response to high doses of ADP (20 uM) or Ristocetin (1.5 mg/ml) and to Collagen. However, 45% of the S.E. Asians displayed abnormally inhibited responses to Adrenaline when compared to Arabs (34%) and Westerns (35.2%). Asians also displayed more inhibited responses to lower doses of ADP (2.0 & 1.0 uM) . On the other hand, S.E. Asians showed the lowest incidence of inhibited Arachidonic acid responses (9%) when compared to Arabs (24%) and Westerns (26%) . Similar racial differences were noted in response to low doses of Ristocetin (1.2 & 1.0 mg%) where Arabs and Asians showed high incidence of abnormally reduced responses (26-28%) when compared to Westerns (15%). No evidence of enhanced aggregation could be detected in Westerns. Changes of climate and/or dietary habits could be important factors influencing the haemostatic system in such a way that reduces ethnic dissimilarities.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores post-Soviet state-building in Kyrgyzstan, with a focus on the root causes of the three revolutions faced by the country. It suggests that the revolutions have not produced significant results in terms of fundamental economic and political reforms. Rather, Kyrgyzstan has turned into the Central Asian “island of instability”. The situation is compounded by deep- rooted inter-ethnic tensions, the prevalence of traditional informal institutions and weakness of democratic institutions, as well as country’s heavy reliance on international donors. The presidential elections and constitutional referendum of 2021 have provided grounds for cautious optimism. A question remains of whether and to what extent Sadyr Japarov’s ambitious agenda will translate into reality, thus leading the country to prosperity and stability.

Full text
Abstract:
From 2014 to 2020 Oxfam embedded an Emergency Response Fund (ERF) in its multiyear disaster risk reduction programs in Asia-Pacific and Central America. The Oxfam ERF was designed as a flexible funding mechanism to prioritize small-scale, under-the-radar, and forgotten emergencies and help local actors respond to and mitigate the impacts of disasters in their communities. ERF grants totaling US$1.9 million were disbursed and supported 24 small-scale responses led by 15 local organizations in nine countries. The ERF, through the support of a donor who values local leadership, helped local actors shape humanitarian responses, and the simplicity of fund administration unlocked creativity and delivered speed without compromising the quality and accountability of humanitarian aid.

Abstract:
The Think Tank Initiative (TTI) was a large-scale, ten-year, multi-donor-funded programme of institutional research capacity strengthening for thinktanks in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It offered flexible, long-term funding combined with technical support to help over 40 organisations move along a pathway to sustainability, generating a consistent flow of high-quality evidence, data, and analysis to inform and influence national and regional policy debates. This CDI Practice paper by Peter Taylor describes the evolution of the TTI evaluation approach as it engaged progressively with the complexity of the programme. It reflects critically on key lessons learned through process and outcomes. It also offers some takeaways for those commissioning evaluation of large, complex capacity‑development interventions.

A comparative analysis of anti-trafficking intervention approaches in Nepal. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy2000.1000.

Full text
Abstract:
This report on current intervention models is part of a larger research study entitled “Intervention Needs for the Prevention of Trafficking and the Care and Support of Trafficked Persons in the Context of an Emerging HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Nepal.” The United States Agency for International Development supported this comprehensive study under the Population Council’s Horizons Program. The Population Council subcontracted the Asia Foundation in Kathmandu to conduct the research. This report documents and analyzes current intervention models for the prevention of trafficking and the care and support of trafficked persons in Nepal. Between August and September 2000, two researchers interviewed four key informants, one donor agency, and two international and eight local NGOs based in Kathmandu. All of these individuals and organizations support or implement anti-trafficking programs or have extensive knowledge of trafficking-related issues in Nepal. This research aims to understand current perceptions of trafficking and identify the assumptions that explicitly or implicitly inform intervention approaches. A comparative analysis of different intervention approaches was made using a human rights framework.
