Abstract:
The sole aim of media is to make as much money as they can. Or again, the media are to serve only the people in power, political or economic. If you agree to that, you might as well stop reading this. This issue of Pacific Journalism Review is predicated on the principle that media should serve the public. Journalists can only achieve that if they enjoy independence from financial and political pressures. It is not often enough underlined that they cannot enjoy that independence without the support of the public, the masses of voters and consumers. There is no way the profession can obtain public support unless it listens to readers/listeners/viewers— unless it is accountable to them.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to analyse the role of communication in shaping the mechanisms of accountability routines. Design/methodology/approach Conceptual elements of the theory of communicative action and the literature on routines were used to conduct a field study in two hospital districts in Finland, from 2009 to 2015. Data were based on interviews, document analysis, observed meetings and repeated contact with key informants. Findings The findings explain how accountability routines take different forms – weak or strong – in different organisations and at different hierarchical levels. Differences depend on the generative structures and mechanisms of the communicative process – relational and normative – used to give and ask information to and from organisation members involved in accountability relationships. An explorative finding is that discourse-based communication plays an important role in bridging the gap between weak and strong accountability routines. The main theoretical contribution is to conceptualise and show the role of communicative rationalities in shaping the mechanisms of accountability routines. Practical implications The implication for practitioners and policymakers is to show to what extent the organisation policies and communicative rationalities used in accountability have potential to improve or not to improve the practices of accountability routines. Mutual understanding, motivation and capacity of organisation members to do as expected and agreed upon without pressure improve accountability routines. Originality/value The value of this study is to explain how accountability routines take different forms in practice (weak or strong) in different organisations and at different hierarchical levels, depending on the generative structures of the communicative process used in practicing accountability routines.

Abstract:
This article proposes the concept of ‘cultures of accountability’ as a way to think about the intersection between media, accountability and popular reality. Noting concerns regarding the emergence of accountability as a cultural keyword, I identify schisms in the deliberation of accountability between an ‘administrative’ and ‘redactive’ formation and explore their interaction and coexistence. Building a bridge between the public administration, journalism studies, media studies and cultural studies literatures, the article posits a more complicated picture of the operation of the ‘media’ in accountability debates and invites analysis and discussion of the communicative and discursive conditions of accountability. Journalistic discourse and practice forms not only a site of encounter between different cultures of accountability but also a forum for discussion of cultural expectations surrounding accountability. Critically revisiting the ‘watchdog’ conception of the news media, the article argues for approaches to journalism open to the yoking of public administration, media accountability and cultural studies approaches and greater awareness of different cultures of accountability.

How do people hold local governments accountable? My dissertation shows how cognitive and perceptual biases, as well as electoral institutions and strategic communication, can hinder voters' ability to hold government accountable. I gather data on local politics -- a level of government that people interact with on a daily basis, and one that encompasses the vast majority of elected officials and elections in the United States. My evidence comes from large-scale elections and communications data, surveys, and partnerships with governments and service providers. My findings indicate that widespread confusion around government responsibilities and a cognitive bias favoring recent information shape how voters evaluate government for performance, that election timing can prevent voters from effectively holding their incumbent politicians accountable, and that strategic communication by municipal governments can further bias the balance of information that citizens rely on to judge government. Together, these papers demonstrate how three facets of politics can frustrate accountability in cities. This work contributes to theoretical knowledge on political behavior and political institutions, as well as the urban politics literature, and does so using three independent sources of data that provide fertile ground for future extensions of this work.

Abstract:
Financial accountability is a pressing issue in United States NPOs because there is a demand, by donors and the public they serve, to implement clear accountability practices. The purpose of this study was to explore and document the financial oversight and accountability policies and procedures that successful NPOs employ to maintain clear financial accountability practices. The theoretical framework underlining this qualitative phenomenological study was a combination of social construction theory and institutional rational choice theory. The research question was focused on understanding essential financial oversight and accountability policies and procedures that should be designed for NPOs to create and maintain financial accountability. Interview data were collected from 6 participants from 4 successful emerging organizations, less than 5 years in business, and 8 participants from organizations that have a longer history, more than 5 years in business. Data were coded using the basic NVivo software package and analyzed thematically. Findings regarding the tools needed to create and maintain vital accountability policies and procedures in NPOs were as follows; need for accountability, importance of appropriate disclosure, impact of dashboard tool, expense projection, financial manager, financial misappropriation reporting, oversight policies, revenue forecasts, board members and supportive culture. The potential impact of this qualitative study for social change is that the policies, practices, and procedures of successful NPOs were identified and documented for those old, new and emerging NPOs not using them. The critical finding of this study shows the need for continued research to bring positive social change through nonprofit financial accountability policy improvement.

Abstract:
Emergency management agencies and government authorities increasingly use social media to warn the public of emergencies. The aim of this thesis is to provide clarification where there is uncertainty about liability, and to address concerns as to how the law will be applied. It does this by examining the responsibility of those entities to warn. It considers whether they are likely to be held legally accountable for their acts or omissions when using social media. The thesis also seeks to provide good practice principles for the use of emerging communication technologies.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the search for accountability processes related to the standard setting powers of a transnational regulatory network that operates in the highly complex and uncertain environment of global finance: the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The thesis draws upon and builds on two main resources: the academic literature from international law, political science, international relations and public administration about the concept of accountability and- as a theoretical framework - Niklas Luhmann's idea of communication which suggests that communication is a selection process rather than a process of transmission. In this selection process the idea of meaning in the sense of a common understanding is paramount. The analysis focuses on the key milestones of the Basel Committee's work: the Concordat, as well as the Basel I, Basel II and Basel III accords. The thesis also draws on a qualitative original data set compiled by the author, made up of extracts of discussions of the Basel Committee's work in the international financial journalistic press. Additionally, official documents and press releases from the BCBS were coded by classifying them into common themes (such as minimum capital standards or the delay on the implementation timetable of Basel III) and the thesis' analysis assessed whether they formed part of an accountability process (i.e., whether they asked for an account, responded to an accountability claim, judged an accountability claim and referred to which consequences should follow the judgement). On the basis of this thematic analysis the thesis identifies five accountability processes in relation to the work of the Basel Committee based on communication. These revolve around the standards for minimum capital requirements in Basel II, the standards for debt exposures of banks lending to small and medium size enterprises, the over complexity of the Basel III accord, the alleged detrimental effects of the Basel accord for US banks, and the delay in the schedule to implement Basel III. Drawing on Luhmann's ideas about communicative events, the thesis develops a novel account of communicative accountability that explains accountability as the decentred and flexible communicative interaction between an accountor and an accountee whose communications have to resonate with an epistemic community. This epistemic community plays the role of a social system in which expectations about the exercise of regulatory powers of the Basel Committee are managed. The thesis argues that this process of communicative accountability can be empirically traced and that it is significantly facilitated by reliance on a shared language and expertise of a common professional community to which both the Basel Committee and a wider professional community belong to. The thesis argues that while the concept of communicative accountability developed through the research can be used to identify processes which seek to render TRNs like the BCBS accountable, these processes may also lack sufficient legitimacy, in the sense of formal power from a recognized source such as a state or an international organization underpinning these accountability processes. Increased legitimacy matters because it would enhance certainty in an accountability process and therefore, help to identify more clearly the legitimate accountor and to uphold his or her authority to ask for the account. Hence, as a whole, this thesis contributes towards the quest for alternative ways of understanding and improving accountability mechanisms in relation to the exercise of regulatory powers by globalized regulatory institutions in a transnational sphere such as the BCBS.

Abstract:

The communication of school quality in the print media was examined through an empirical quantitative content analysis research design and computer assisted content coding approach. This focus was selected due to the importance of school quality information for parents and a community. The purpose of the research was the identification of the message communicated through the media frames selected by journalists reporting on school quality and education accountability. The content sample was composed of 130 news articles published in Wisconsin daily newspapers, 2012 through 2014. Using the empirical quantitative content analysis method developed by Harold D. Lasswell, Ph.D., the standardized statistical tests for trend, interaction, and covariance were conducted to identify the dominant frames, the semantic meaning, and the message. Tests for validity and reliability of the content, coding, correlations, and design were conducted. The result of the media frame analysis demonstrated significant relationships between the media frame, state events, and the treatment of public education during each of the three years. The research addressed three gaps found in the literature and surfaced a paradox indicator of social change. The importance of the local newspaper was demonstrated, along with evidence that the interaction of the newspaper network impacts access to balanced coverage of this critical topic. The research created an accessible and reliable body of content from which to conduct future research on audience and message impact analysis.

Abstract:
This study explores Open Data actors in Kenya, focusing on the issue of transparency and accountability. Drawing on an exploratory quantitative analysis of existing statistical material of usage of the Kenya Open Data Initiative website and 15 qualitative interviews conducted primarily in Nairobi, the study analyses key factors – both enabling and disabling – that shape transparency initiatives connected to Open Data in Kenya. The material is analysed from three perspectives: a) a review based on existing research around impact and effectiveness of transparency and accountability initiatives; b) based on theories on human behaviour in connection to transparency and accountability; and c) introducing a critical perspective on power relations based on Michel Foucault’s concept of ‘governmentality’. The study shows that the Kenya Open Data Initiative has potential to become an effective transparency and accountability initiative in Kenya, but that its future is heavily dependent on current trends within the political context and fluctuations in power relations. Applying a stronger user-perspective and participatory approach is critical.Open Data is a relatively new area within the governance and development field, and academia can play an important role in enhancing methodology and impact assessments to create more effective and sustainable initiatives and ensure that future Open Data initiatives can be both accessible and constitute a base for accountability.

Full text
Abstract:

Bakgrund: Hållbarhetsredovisning är ett relativt nytt område och den är frivillig för företagen att upprätta. Den regleras inte av några lagar och har heller inte krav på extern granskning, vilket den finansiella redovisningen har. Detta gör att företag kan skriva i stort sett vad som helst. Trovärdigheten i detta sammanhang är ifrågasatt och det finns oklarheter kring vad den innebär, vilket gör det till ett intressant ämne att titta närmare på.

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilka egenskaper som kännetecknar trovärdighet i en hållbarhetsredovisning och därmed bidra med kunskap som kan hjälpa till att öka trovärdigheten i företags hållbarhetsredovisningar.

Avgränsningar: Undersökningen begränsas till att utreda trovärdigheten kring den hållbarhetsredovisning som upprättas frivilligt av företagen, inte den som är obligatorisk enligt Årsredovisningslagen. Detta på grund av att den omfattas av den finansiella redovisningens lagar och regler.

Genomförande: Uppsatsens empiri har samlats in genom en kvalitativ metod där åtta intervjuer genomförts med företag, intressenter och granskare för att få olika perspektiv på trovärdigheten i hållbarhetsredovisningar.

Resultat: Studiens resultat visar att viktiga egenskaper för trovärdighet är öppenhet och ärlighet, vilket innebär att ge ut rätt mängd information samt redovisa både positiva och negativa delar av företagets verksamhet. Att upprätta redovisningen på ett konsekvent sätt och arbeta enhetligt med hållbarhetsfrågor inom företaget ger också en bra grund för att skapa trovärdighet. Företagets integritet kan stärkas genom en extern verifiering av informationen, dock behöver granskaren få en tydligare roll. För att göra hållbarhetsredovisningen användbar samt relevant och därmed mer trovärdig är det viktigt för företaget att identifiera sina intressentgrupper.


Background: Sustainability reporting is a relative new discipline and it is voluntary for the companies to produce this kind of report. The report is not regulated by any laws and an external verification is not required, as it is for the financial annual report. The effect of this is that the companies can write whatever they want. The credibility in this context is questioned and it is not clear what it means, which makes it an interesting subject to look closer into.

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to examine the credibility characteristics in a sustainability report and contribute with knowledge which can help companies to strength the credibility in their sustainability reports.

Demarcation: This survey is limited to only examine the voluntary sustainability reports and their credibility, not the one which is required by the law. The reason is that this sustainability information is included in the regulations of the financial annual report.

Methods: The report use a qualitative method and the primary source of this survey are eight interviews. These interviews are made with companies, stakeholders and auditors to get different views of what credibility means in a sustainability report.

Results: The results of the survey show that important credibility characteristics are openness and honesty. This means to produce right amount of information and present both positive and negative information of the company’s activities. To be consequent and have a uniform way to work with sustainability questions is important and creates a good ground for credibility. The integrity of the company can be strength by an external verification, but the one who checks the report needs to have a clearer role. To make the sustainability report useful and relevant and thereby more credible is it important that the company identify their stakeholders.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação busca refletir sobre os impactos na cultura organizacional do setor público, após três anos da regulamentação da lei federal nº 12.527/2011, a chamada Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) no Brasil determinou aos órgãos públicos nos três níveis e nas três esferas de poder a organização de Sistemas de Informação ao Cidadão (SIC), de forma presencial e virtual. Assim, a LAI permite que diversos atores da sociedade civil possam consultar qualquer órgão público sobre informações e dados de seu interesse, propiciando um maior envolvimento democrático dos cidadãos com estas organizações, seja presencialmente ou através de interações mediadas pelas tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TICs), um novo habitar em um ecossistema evolutivo, como preconiza Di Felice (2012). Nossa investigação tomou uma legislação específica, que interfere na esfera pública, possibilitando aos comunicadores meios para (re)construir políticas, processos e estratégias de comunicação que podem influenciar o modo como a sociedade pode interagir com as organizações estatais e propiciar práticas comunicativas que aproximem a sociedade civil do Poder Público e orientar a formação de redes de relacionamento com valor organizacional e como valor para a cidadania. Tais mudanças trazem aos gestores públicos a necessidade de revisão de seus processos, admitindo a complexidade na gestão dos relacionamentos a partir dos SICs, cuja perspectiva dialógica e relacional a partir dos dados abertos e disponibilizados corrobora com os esforços do Estado a partir de iniciativas de e-government, da lógica do cidadão como usuário de serviços públicos e da nova gestão pública. Sobretudo, traz à comunicação pública fatores que carregam um potencial para ampliar do discurso à ação concreta os conceitos de transparência pública e accountability, isto é, viabilizar à população o controle e a intervenção nas ações do Poder Público, como aponta Haswani (2013) ao colocar em sua obra a comunicação pública governamental como garantia de direitos. No momento em que o Estado brasileiro promulga legislações como a LAI se obriga a inovar, criar setores, sistemas e a desenvolver uma cultura dentro dos órgãos públicos que dê aos servidores a qualidade e a condição necessárias para dar ao agora cidadão-em-rede maior autonomia e condições de interferir e interpelar construindo um capital político e social, como apresenta Matos (2006) a partir da participação social, encontrando no servidor também um cidadão que está apto a traduzir o que está sendo buscando pelo cidadão, antecipar e co-criar as demandas de informação via SICs.
This paper aims to reflect on the impact the organizational culture of the public sector, after three years of regulation of Federal Law 12.527/2011, called the Access to Information Act (LAI) in Brazil determined to government agencies at all three levels and at all three levels power to organize Information Systems Citizen (SIC) in person and virtually. Thus, LAI allows diverse actors of civil society to consult any public agency on information and data of interest, providing greater democratic involvement of citizens with these organizations, either in person or through interactions mediated by information and communication technologies (ICTs), a new live in an evolving ecosystem, as stated Di Felice (2012). Our investigation took specific legislation that interferes in the public sphere, enabling media communicators to (re) build policies, processes and communication strategies that can influence the way society can interact with state organizations and provide communicative practices that bring the civil society Government and guide the formation of networks with organizational value and how value for citizenship. Such changes bring to public managers need to review their processes, admitting the complexity of managing relationships from the SICs, whose dialogical and relational perspective from open and available data confirms the state\'s efforts from e-government initiatives, citizen logic as utility user and the new public management. Above all, brings to public communication factors that carry a potential to broaden the discourse to concrete action the concepts of public transparency and accountability, that is, enable the population control and intervention in the actions of the government, as pointed Haswani (2013) to putting in his work the government public communication rights as collateral. By the time the Brazilian State promulgates laws as the LAI is obliged to innovate, create sectors, systems and to develop a culture within the public agencies that gives servers the quality and condition necessary to give the citizen now in network-largest autonomy and able to interfere and question building a political and social capital, as has Matos (2006) from the social participation, finding the server also a citizen who is able to translate what is being seeking the citizen, anticipate and co-create the demands of information by SICs.

Full text
Abstract:
The need to deal with accountability is fundamental in every organisation’s struggle to survive. When external demands must be fulfilled in order to receive necessary funding, the organization continuously has to adapt internal processes and outputs to meet those demands. This thesis seeks to explore such adaptations and their short and long term effects. Funding and Accountability: Studies of a Swedish and a British Chamber Orchestra examines two organizations with an unusually complex context of stakeholders with diverse and conflicting interests. Adding to the unusualness of an orchestra is the nature of the orchestra’s basic output: autonomous music cannot be measured in quantified terms, rendering accountability a more difficult and elusive idea than ever. In addition, the orchestra is characterized by the performance of highly specialised skills executed collectively and with exceptional simultaneity, requiring particularly stable and predictable working frames. With two intriguing cases and with an innovative combination of theoretical perspectives, this thesis illustrates how external accountabilities influence an organisation’s core through internal adaptations over time, and highlights issues of organisational identity and future possible directions.

Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICTs) and accountability in Minas Gerais federal institutes (FIs). The objective is to identify the main contributions of ICTs to improving accountability in Minas Gerais federal institutes. The study adopts a qualitative approach and is classified as descriptive documentary research. Bardin's (2011) content analysis was used to collect, analyze, and interpret the data. The literature indicates that ICTs can be a fundamental instrument for strengthening accountability practices . By making public information available in a transparent and accessible manner, ICTs allow stakeholders to monitor the actions of managers and demand accountability when necessary. The main results demonstrate that ICTs are used as mechanisms that facilitate or even take charge of such practices. The practice of transparency, in particular, uses these mechanisms, whether through social networks for publicity and social interaction or through systems such as fala.BR, in addition to the institutional portals of the federal institutes themselves. The Access to Information Law (Law No. 12,527/2011) represents an important milestone in the promotion of public transparency in Brazil and significantly corroborates the findings. By guaranteeing broad and free access to public information, the law contributes to strengthening accountability and popular participation. It is concluded that ICTs play a fundamental role in promoting accountability by enabling transparency, popular participation and holding managers accountable, which contributes to the construction of a more just and democratic society. This summary presents an overview of the relationship between ICTs and accountability . It is important to emphasize that the subject is complex and requires in-depth studies that consider the different variables that influence accountability .

Abstract:
This rapid review draws on literature from academic, policy and non-governmental organisation sources. There is a huge literature on climate governance issues in general, but less is known about effective support and the political-economy of adaptation. A large literature base and case studies on climate finance accountability and budgeting in governments is nascent and growing. Section 2 of this report briefly discusses governance of climate change issues, with a focus on the complexity and cross-cutting nature of climate change compared to the often static organisational landscape of government structured along sectoral lines. Section 3 explores green public financial management (PFM). Section 4 then brings together several principles and lessons learned on green PFM highlighted in the guidance notes. Transparency and accountability lessons are then highlighted in Section 5. The Key findings are: 1) Engaging with the governance context and the political economy of climate governance and financing is crucial to climate objectives being realised. 2) More attention is needed on whether and how governments are prioritising adaptation and resilience in their own operations. 3) Countries in Africa further along in the green PFM agenda give accounts of reform approaches that are gradual, iterative and context-specific, building on existing PFM systems and their functionality. 4) A well-functioning “accountability ecosystem” is needed in which state and non-state accountability actors engage with one another. 5) Climate change finance accountability systems and ecosystems in countries are at best emerging. 6) Although case studies from Nepal, the Philippines and Bangladesh are commonly cited in the literature and are seen as some of the most advanced developing country examples of green PFM, none of the countries have had significant examples of collaboration and engagement between actors. 7) Lessons and guiding principles for green PFM reform include: use the existing budget cycle and legal frameworks; ensure that the basic elements of a functional PFM system are in place; strong leadership of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and clear linkages with the overall PFM reform agenda are needed; smart sequencing of reforms; real political ownership and clearly defined roles and responsibilities; and good communication to stakeholders).

Full text
Abstract:
There is increasingly strong evidence that taxation can contribute to expanded government responsiveness and accountability. However, such positive connections are not guaranteed. Rather, they are shaped by the political and economic context and specific policies adopted by governments and civil society actors. Without an environment that enables tax bargaining, there is a risk that taxation will amount to little more than forceful extraction. We consider how such enabling environments may be fostered through two mixed methods case studies of tax transparency and taxpayer engagement in Sierra Leone and Ghana. We highlight two key sets of findings. First, tax transparency is only meaningful if it is accessible and easily understood by taxpayers and relates to their everyday experiences and priorities. In particular, we find that taxpayers do not just want basic information about tax obligations or aggregate revenue collected, but information about how much revenue should have been collected and how revenues were spent. At the same time, taxpayers do not want information to be shared with them through a one-way form of communication, but rather want to have spaces for dialogue and interaction with tax and government officials, including through public meetings and radio call-in programmes. Second, strategies to encourage taxpayer engagement are more likely to be effective where forums for engagement are perceived by taxpayers to be safe, secure, and sincere means through which to engage with government officials. This has been most successful where governments have visibly demonstrated responsiveness to citizen concerns, even on a small scale, while partnering with civil society to foster trust, dialogue and expanded knowledge. These findings have significant implications for how governments design taxpayer education and engagement programmes and how civil society actors and development partners can support more equitable and accountable tax systems. Our findings provide concrete lessons for how governments can ensure that information shared with taxpayers is meaningful and accessible. Moreover, we show that civil society actors can play important roles as translators of tax information, enablers of public forums and dialogues around tax issues, and trainers of taxpayers, supporting greater tax literacy and sustained citizen engagement.

Experimental Evidence on Teacher Professional Development and Student Learning in South Africa. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), January 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-rise-wp_2020/050.

Abstract:
Virtual communication holds the promise of enabling low-cost professional development at scale, but the benefits of in-person interaction might be difficult to replicate. We report on an experiment in South Africa comparing on-site with virtual coaching of public primary school teachers. After three years, on-site coaching improved students' English oral language and reading proficiency (0.31 and 0.13 SD, respectively). Virtual coaching had a smaller impact on English oral language proficiency (0.12 SD), no impact on English reading proficiency, and an unintended negative effect on home language literacy. Classroom observations show that on-site coaching improved teaching practices, and virtual coaching led to larger crowding-out of home language teaching time. Implementation and survey data suggest technology itself was not a barrier to implementation, but rather that in-person contact enabled more accountability and support.

Khan, Mahreen. Lessons from Adaptive Programming. Institute of Development Studies, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.142.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of adaptive programming (AP) is to produce adaptive, flexible, iterative, responsive, problem-driven, politically smart, locally led programmes which are effective and efficient and meet donor requirements for accountability. This is a rapid desk review of recent literature on AP including academic and grey sources. Section 2 covers the main challenges and barriers to successful implementation of AP. Key success factors are covered in Section 3. Selecting the appropriate monitoring and evaluation tools such as outcome harvesting or adapted versions of Value for Money to assist in measuring outcomes and embedding learning is key to successful AP, particularly in governance programmes, where results are usually long-term, non-linear and causality can be difficult to specifically trace back to the donor-funded intervention. Section 4 details three case studies from the governance arena as this report was requested to assist in designing adaptive governance programmes. Thus, the State Accountability and Voice Initiative (SAVI) from Nigeria, Chakua Hatua from Tanzania, and Within and Without the State (WWS) from conflict regions are included to show how flexible indicators, donor communication and negotiation, empowering teams and adopting monitoring and evaluation tools assisted in successful AP outcomes in different locations and political contexts. The challenges faced and drawbacks of certain processes were fed into efficient feedback loops fostering cross-communication, adaptation, and modification to ensure procedures and policies were changed accordingly. Sources used are primarily from the previous 5 years, as per K4D norms, unless the work is seminal, such as the ODI Report (2016) Doing Development Differently, which encouraged over 60 countries to sign up for the AP methodology. This review found a substantive body of literature on AP methodology the relative recency of academic attention on AP in the development less evidence is available on case studies of AP in the development sector, as there are not many ongoing projects and even fewer have been completed and results assessed (ICF, 2019). There is also a lack of case studies on how dynamic, empowered, innovative teams successfully apply adaptive programming ideas, particularly providing behavioural insights about such teams (Cooke, 2017) as well as little attention to precipitating and sustaining behaviour change in institutions over the longer term (Power, 2017).

Abstract:
Findings from the first two years of a 3-year evaluation of the PROMISE Model pilot are presented in this policy brief that seeks to understand the extent to which school principals know, understand, and act upon research-based principles for English Language Learners (ELL) and their intersection with the California Professional Standards for Educational Leadership related to promoting ELL success. Surveys and focus groups were used to gather data from school principals at fifteen schools throughout Southern California including early childhood, elementary, middle, and high schools. School principals identified several areas where PROMISE serves as a beacon of hope in promoting and validating critical conversations around a collective vision for success for all learners including ELL, bilingual/biliterate, and monolingual students. Educational and policy recommendations are provided for the following areas: 1) recruitment and selection of personnel and professional development; 2) accountability, communication and support; and 3) university-based educational leadership programs. This policy brief concludes with a call for school principals to facilitate the development, implementation, and stewardship of a vision for learning that highlights success for English Learners and shared by the school and district community.

Birch, Izzy. Financial Incentives to Reduce Female Infanticide, Child Marriage and Promote Girl’s Education: Institutional and Monitoring Mechanisms. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), December 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.005.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this paper is on the complementary mechanisms and interventions likely to increase the effectiveness and impact of conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes in South Asia that aim to reduce female infanticide and child marriage and promote girls’ education. The literature on the institutional aspects of these particular schemes is limited, but from this and from the wider literature on CCT programmes in similar contexts, the following institutional mechanisms are likely to enhance success: a strong information and communication strategy that enhances programme reach and coverage and ensures stakeholder awareness; advance agreements with financial institutions; a simple and flexible registration process; appropriate use of technology to strengthen access, disbursement, and oversight; adequate implementation capacity to support processes of outreach, enrolment, and monitoring; monitoring and accountability mechanisms embedded in programme design; coordination mechanisms across government across social protection schemes; an effective management information system; and the provision of quality services in the sectors for which conditions are required. There is a very limited body of evidence that explores these institutional issues as they apply to the specific CCT programmes that are the focus of this report, however, there is more available evidence of the potential impact of ‘cash-plus’ programmes, which complement the transfers with other interventions designed to enhance their results or address the structural barriers to well-being

Abstract:
How and under what conditions does citizen-led social and political action contribute to empowerment and accountability? What are the strategies used, and with what outcomes, especially in settings which are democratically weak, politically fragile and affected by legacies of violence and conflict? The A4EA programme has explored these questions in Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria and Pakistan over five years between 2016-2021. This paper presents the key findings and policy and practice implications from this research across the themes of space for citizen action; citizen-governance relations; women’s political participation and collective action; citizen-led strategies for empowerment and accountability; and enabling citizen action. It also shares important lessons drawn from A4EA experience on conducting and communicating research in complex political contexts like these, and for research consortia. Whilst the research conclusions are drawn from A4EA’s four focus countries, in an increasingly fragile and authoritarian world, the findings are becoming pertinent for more and more contexts across the globe.

Full text
Abstract:
Participating in the exemplar landscapes of the Developing and Promoting Market-Based Agroforestry and Forest Rehabilitation Options for Northwest Vietnam project has had positive impacts on ethnic women, such as increasing their networks and decision-making and public speaking skills. However, the rate of female farmers accessing and using project extension material or participating in project nurseries and applying agroforestry techniques was limited. This requires understanding of the real needs and interests grounded in the socio-cultural contexts of the ethnic groups living in the Northern Mountain Region in Viet Nam, who have unique social and cultural norms and values. The case studies show that agricultural activities are highly gendered: men and women play specific roles and have different, particular constraints and interests. Women are highly constrained by gender norms, access to resources, decision-making power and a prevailing positive-feedback loop of time poverty, especially in the Hmong community. A holistic, timesaving approach to addressing women’s daily activities could reduce the effects of time poverty and increase project participation. As women were highly willing to share project information, the project’s impacts would be more successful with increased participation by women through utilizing informal channels of communication and knowledge dissemination. Extension material designed for ethnic women should have less text and more visuals. Access to information is a critical constraint that perpetuates the norm that men are decision-makers, thereby, enhancing their perceived ownership, whereas women have limited access to information and so leave final decisions to men, especially in Hmong families. Older Hmong women have a Vietnamese (Kinh) language barrier, which further prevents them from accessing the project’s material. Further research into an adaptive framework that can be applied in a variety of contexts is recommended. This framework should prioritize time-saving activities for women and include material highlighting key considerations to maintain accountability among the project’s support staff.

Khan, Mahreen. Public Financial Management and Transitioning out of Aid. Institute of Development Studies, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.145.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review found an absence of literature focused specifically on measuring the impact of PFM and governance systems in countries that have transitioned from aid, by moving up the income ladder. However, there are a few academic publications and a limited number of studies by multilateral, such as the World Bank, that examine the role of PFM and governance systems in countries that are transitioning or have moved away from aid. However, the importance of public financial management (PFM) and governance systems in development is well established and seen as a pre-requisite for economic growth. To effectively transition from aid, most low-income countries (LICs) need to upgrade their PFM and governance systems to meet the different scale, resources, accountability mechanisms, and capacity-building requirements of a middle-income country (MIC). The absence of the above empirical evidence may be due to the complexity of measuring the impact of PFM reforms as the results are non-linear, difficult to isolate from other policies to establish causality, and manifest in a longer time frame. However, through comparative country studies, the consequences of deficient PFM and governance have been well documented. So impaired budgetary planning, implementation, and reporting, limited fiscal transparency, weak accountability mechanisms, resource leakage, and inefficient service delivery are well recognised as detrimental to economic growth and development. The literature on transitioning countries focuses predominantly on the impact of aid withdrawal on the social sector, where comparative qualitative data is easier to obtain and the effects are usually more immediate, visible, and may even extend to global health outcomes, such as in AIDS prevention programmes. Thus, tracking the progress of donor-assisted social sector programmes is relatively easier than for PFM and governance reforms. The literature is more abundant on the overall lessons of transitions from aid both for country governments and donors. The key lessons underscore the importance of PFM and governance systems and mechanisms to a successful transition up the income ladder: Planning for transition should be strategic, detailed and specifically geared to mitigate against risks, explicitly assessing the best mix of finance options to mitigate the impact of aid reduction/withdrawal on national budgets. The plan must be led by a working group or ministry and have timelines and milestones; Where PFM and governance is weak transition preparation should include strengthening PFM especially economic and fiscal legislation, administration, and implementation; Stakeholders such as donor partners (DPs) and NGOs should participate in the planning process with clear, open, and ongoing communication channels; Political and economic assessments in the planning and mid-term phases as well as long-term monitoring and evaluation should be instituted; Build financial, technical, and management capacity throughout the plan implementation This helpdesk report draws on academic, policy, and grey sources from the previous seven years rather than the usual K4D five-year window, to account for the two-year disruption of COVID-19. As cross-country studies on PFM and governance are scarce, a few older studies are also referenced to ensure a comprehensive response to the query. The report focuses on low-income countries transitioning from aid due to a change in status to lower-middle-income countries.
