   Network Paper 72 - Local to Global Protection in Myanmar (Burma), Sudan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe

   Event - Public event - 8 February 2012 11:00 - 13:00 (GMT+00)

   This event launches the Network Paper 72, Local to Global Protection in Myanmar, Sudan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe. 
   
   The Local to Global Protection Project (L2GP) is an initiative to document and promote local perspectives on protection in major humanitarian crises. Based on research in Myanmar, Sudan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe, L2GP explores how people living in areas affected by natural disaster and armed conflict understand ‘protection’ – what they value, and how they go about protecting themselves, their families and their communities. The research also examines how people view the roles of others, including the state, non-state actors, community-based organisations and national and international aid agencies.

   South Sudan presentation of 'Development Progress: Examples of progress from the region and beyond'

   Event - Public event - 14 October 2011 09:00 - 12:00 (GMT+00)

   ODI’s Mapping Progress report finds four key drivers of progress in development. It systematically analyses development progress in 24 countries across the global south and ranks countries according to performance.

   Countries often better known as hubs of war and famine have made remarkable progress across different sectors including growth, education, healthcare, governance and agriculture. The report identifies the crucial role of effective leadership, smart policies, proper institutional foundations and international partnership in driving development progress. Countries are split into four categories: stars, surprises, potential performers and conundrums where progress in some areas has not delivered expected improvements in the lives of the poor.

   The Mapping Progress report was presented in Sudan to showcase and share challenges, achievements and plans of development progress in developing countries.
