Most people take the convenience of using a mobile phone for granted, but for billions of people, mobile devices and services can transform their lives. A recent study reported that adding an extra ten mobile phones per 100 people in a typical developing country boosts economic growth in gross domestic product per person by 0.8 percentage points. People in emerging markets are using mobile technology in more powerful ways than those in the developed world. In developing countries, new mobile technologies such as data services, mobile phone-based agriculture and business advice, health care and money transfer are providing enormous economic and development benefits. Some mobile banking services are better developed in African countries than in advanced markets like the US. With the adopt...

It might seem obvious that a multinational commercial organization wanting to make a contribution to social development can best do so by using its core competencies. But in professional services organizations like KPMG, they have to be a little more creative in working out how best to use their skills. Since 2007 KPMG has been working with the Millennium Cities Initiative (MCI), an urban counterpart to the Millennium Villages Project. MCI seeks to help selected mid-sized cities across sub-Saharan Africa to formulate integrated city development strategies, including attracting foreign investment to stimulate economic growth and development. To date, KPMG has produced four Millennium City reports and two industry reports: sugar production in Kisumu and bamboo bike production in Kumasi.

It was an eventful deployment," said Commander Per Ertloev Hansen, captain of the HDMS Olfert Fischer. "For the Olfert Fischer crew, manning by far the smallest ship in the group... with only two planned port visits on the voyage around Africa, the endurance for a ship designed and built for operations much closer to homeland bases and logistic support centers was challenged to the limits.
"I remember the first time I saw her I thought, 'Wow, that's a pretty small ship to go around Africa'," [Robert S. Kerno] said. "But I'll tell you, for a small ship that took a pounding, she was always on station. She had a hardy crew and a good commander."

By adopting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Dec 10, 1948, the relatively small UN family of 56 states concretized their belief in the "equal rights of men and women." But despite the charter's noble commitment to upholding the inherent dignity of every human being, the UN General Assembly noticed that women continued to lag behind men in their enjoyment of economic, social, cultural, political and civil rights. This realization led the UN in 1979 to adopt the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. In order to effectively integrate women into mainstream trade policies, policymakers must fully understand the economic implications of the Convention and engage in a "constructive dialogue" with gender experts.
