Download or read book Leveraging Trade for Women s Economic Empowerment in the Pacific written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides insights on how trade can be leveraged for greater economic empowerment of women in the Pacific. It includes an analysis of how gender mainstreaming in Aid for Trade interventions could catalyze greater donor support to help the region benefit from truly inclusive trade-driven growth. In the Pacific, the labor force participation gap between men and women has narrowed, but women there are still less likely to be in work than men. Women are also more likely to be working in low-paid, low-skilled jobs, or informal, vulnerable employment. To tap into the full potential of the female labor force and entrepreneurial potential, much more needs to be done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of issues related to climate change in the Pacific and will be an invaluable reference for those working in this important field. Climate change represents humanity’s greatest threat. The vastness of the Pacific means that no two experiences are the same. This edited volume identifies research that highlights the local impact of climate change on the islands and coastlines of the Pacific.

Download or read book Mapping Security in the Pacific written by Sara N Amin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines questions about the changing nature of security and insecurity in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). Previous discussions of security in the Pacific region have been largely determined by the geopolitical interests of the Global North. This volume instead attempts to centre PICs’ security interests by focussing on the role of organisational culture, power dynamics and gender in (in)security processes and outcomes. Mapping Security in the Pacific underscores the multidimensional nature of security, its relationship to local, international, organisational and cultural dynamics, the resistances engendered through various forms of insecurities, and innovative efforts to negotiate gender, context and organisational culture in reducing insecurity and enhancing justice. Covering the Pacific region widely, the volume brings forth context-specific analyses at micro-, meso- and macro-levels, allowing us to examine the interconnections between security, crime and justice, and point to the issues raised for crime and justice studies by environmental insecurity. In doing so, it opens up opportunities to rethink scholarly and policy frames related to security/insecurity about the Pacific. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory and those interested in learning about the Pacific region and different aspects of security.
Download or read book Tuvalu written by International Monetary Fund. Asia and Pacific Dept and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuvalu is a fragile micro-state facing tremendous challenges from its remoteness, lack of scale economies, weak institutional capacity, and above all, climate change, which threatens the country’s very existence. Thanks to buoyant fishing licensing fees and grants, Tuvalu has accumulated fiscal buffers in recent years, but it is now incurring significant costs rebuilding after the devastating Cyclone Pam in March 2015. Looking ahead, Tuvalu faces substantial long-run costs in improving its infrastructure to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Download or read book A Critical Approach to Climate Change Adaptation written by Silja Klepp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume brings together critical research on climate change adaptation discourses, policies, and practices from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Drawing on examples from countries including Colombia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, Russia, Tanzania, Indonesia, and the Pacific Islands, the chapters describe how adaptation measures are interpreted, transformed, and implemented at grassroots level and how these measures are changing or interfering with power relations, legal pluralismm and local (ecological) knowledge. As a whole, the book challenges established perspectives of climate change adaptation by taking into account issues of cultural diversity, environmental justicem and human rights, as well as feminist or intersectional approaches.

Download or read book Review of Opportunities for the Pacific WASH Sector written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector plays a key role in enabling a healthier population in the Pacific and in building countries’ resilience to public health emergencies such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This publication looks at the impact of the pandemic on the WASH sector in the 14 Pacific developing member countries of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It proposes strategic directions to help ADB’s technical assistance support a more resilient and sustainable WASH sector as the region continues to manage the disease while seeking to reopen borders and economic activity.
Download or read book Capacity Development in ADB Operations written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bangladesh has transformed its economy over the last 2 decades, graduating to middle-income status as average annual growth remained strong at 5%–6%. The country’s goal to become an upper-middle-income country by 2021 will require even stronger annual growth of 7.5%–8%. This study finds that the most critical constraints to growth are (i) insufficient reliable energy supply, (ii) policies that indirectly stunt development of economic activities unrelated to ready-made garment exports, and (iii) insufficient security about property and land rights due in part to inadequate registry systems. If policies are designed to urgently tackle these constraints, Bangladesh will be free to harness its potential for inclusive and sustainable growth.
Download or read book Tuvalu 2021 Article IV Consultation Press Release Staff Report and Statement by the Executive Director for Tuvalu written by International Monetary and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swift implementation of containment measures, limited spillovers from tourism, and COVID-related fiscal spending financed by buoyant fishing revenues and donor grants have allowed Tuvalu—a fragile Pacific micro-state—avoid a recession in 2020. The economy is expected to expand by 2.5 percent in 2021, supported by fiscal expenditures and resumption of infrastructure projects. But significant challenges remain: Tuvalu is vulnerable to the effects of climate change, its economy is dominated by the public sector, and its revenue base is narrow. Uncertainty around donor commitments complicates fiscal planning.
