The document summarizes the work of the Access to Medicine Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that works to improve access to medicine globally. It discusses the Foundation's Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark, which evaluates pharmaceutical companies' efforts to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in their R&D pipelines, manufacturing processes, and access and stewardship programs. The Benchmark covers 20 large research-based pharmaceutical companies and generic drug manufacturers. It finds that while some leading companies have strong environmental management and stewardship programs, overall pipeline development for novel antibiotics remains limited, and strategies to prevent AMR in manufacturing vary widely among companies.

This document summarizes a webinar presentation on calculating a living income benchmark for smallholder farmers. It discusses the concept of living income versus poverty lines. The methodology involves determining the cost of a basic but decent standard of living for an average household, the number of members in the workforce, and calculating the net and gross income required. It then presents a case study of the tea sector in Malawi, calculating actual versus living incomes for tea smallholders. The study found productivity increases of 40% plus or wage employment could help close the gap between actual and living incomes.
AGEP slides "Living income"
The document discusses the concepts of living wage and living income. A living wage aims to provide a decent standard of living for a household based on the costs of basic needs for an average family. It is calculated for hired workers. Living income also aims to provide a decent standard for a household, but considers multiple income sources and is applied to smallholder farmers.
The document then presents a case study analyzing the gap between actual and living incomes for smallholder tea farmers in Malawi. It finds that farmers with less than 1 hectare would need to increase yields by 40% or have tea estates increase prices by 40% to achieve a living income. Farmers with over 1 hectare could achieve it by specializing completely in tea
AGEP Slides "Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading"
The document provides an overview of the Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU) program in Cape Town, South Africa. It discusses the objectives, phases, sites, and approaches of the program, which aims to develop safe and sustainable neighborhoods through urban upgrading, community participation, and joint learning. Examples of projects in Cape Town townships show how VPUU has worked to transform spaces, improve quality of life, and build social cohesion through negotiated partnerships. The selection process for additional municipalities in Phase IV of the program is also summarized.
The use of Digital Tools and Geoinformation for Development
This document provides an overview of ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) and how technology and geospatial information can support development efforts. It discusses the history and definition of ICT4D, examples of ICT4D tools and applications in various sectors like health, finance, agriculture, and humanitarian response. The document also outlines challenges in ICT4D project implementation and lessons learned from Gnucoop's experience with geospatial technologies on projects in Malawi, Jordan, and Haiti. It concludes with suggestions for a successful ICT4D project and considerations for the future of the field.
Webinar presentation
Dr. Hans-Peter Winkelmann is a key expert on climate change with the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA+) Climate Support Facility. He gave a webinar discussing how universities can help fight climate change through their core functions of research, teaching, and knowledge transfer. Universities play an important role in generating new climate change knowledge, educating students, and disseminating information to society. They also influence society through their own operations and serve as models for sustainable practices. Mainstreaming climate change into all aspects of university work is important to equip students and society with the skills needed to address this global challenge.

1) The document summarizes theories and typologies of migration, including definitions of migration types like internal, international, and labor migration. It discusses theories that have emerged over time to explain migration patterns.
2) The document then presents a model of preparedness for return migration, including levels of skills, social capital, and financial capital that influence job prospects for returnees. It also describes different reintegration assistance schemes for refugees and highly skilled migrants.
3) The remainder of the document analyzes case studies of return migration of graduates from Ghana and Cameroon, finding that returnees faced varying levels of success in obtaining employment depending on factors like skills, social networks, and access to financial support through reintegration programs
Labor global governance webinar
Trade unions and NGOs can influence global economic governance through mobilization like protests or lobbying within existing structures. They have limited participation currently. To have more voice, they must develop expertise on issues, raise awareness, identify ways to engage in international organizations or with governments, and balance mobilization with lobbying and dialogue. Success requires political opportunities, resources, and building cross-border coalitions to strengthen their role in the rule making process.

Labor rights development webinar
This document discusses international labor rights and their relationship to development. It begins by outlining several core labor rights established in international conventions. It then discusses the debate around whether honoring these rights could cause developing countries to lose competitive advantages by increasing costs. While textbooks argue this could harm sales, the document notes efficiency wages and market power are not accounted for. It also discusses how destructive competition occurs between countries with large labor supplies and pressures to adopt export-led growth. Empirical evidence from carpets and theory suggest rights that raise wages above market levels threaten competitiveness, especially between similar economies. Therefore, developing countries may only be able to raise standards through multilateral agreements rather than isolation. The document concludes by mentioning the Asia Floor Wage
