A key driver of the modern increase in global entrepreneurship is the increasing participation of women in sectors that were once inaccessible to them. This Global Entrepreneurship Week, CIPE's Elena Ratoi sits down with Arijeta Pajaziti Qerimi, a trailblazer for women in Kosovo's energy sector. Together, they discuss how Arijeta's recent partnership with CIPE's Center for Women's Economic Empowerment is strengthening women's participation in Kosovo's traditionally male-dominated energy sector. Listeners will learn how new technology is decreasing labor-intensive roles, how young women are meeting older role models, and how more women-centered events are decreasing knowledge gaps. Guest Bio Arijeta Pajaziti Qerimi's professional career as an electrical engineer is complemented by her academic profile with a Master of Science degree from the Electrotechnical Faculty, University of Prishtina. In 2021 she has been graduated from Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business in Gender Equity Executive Leadership Program. She has been part of the sector for almost 25 years. She currently works as an engineer specialist for SCADA / EMS in the Kosovo Transmission System and Market Operator (KOSTT) and as an executive director of AWESK (Association of Women in the Energy Sector of Kosovo) and contributes and advocate for many years to the advancement of the national agenda for the inclusion of women in energy.

In this new episode of the Democracy that Delivers podcast, Adam Sachs, Program Manager for the Center for Digital Economy and Governance (CDEG), discusses the results of a recent study characterizing Colombian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their levels of digital adoption with Luz Stella Gómez, Manager of Financing and Technological Capabilities at iNNpulsa Colombia, and Pablo Lemoine, President of the Centro Nacional de Consultoría. This survey was conducted with input from 4,000 companies throughout Colombia, including those in regions most affected by conflict, as well as women-led and LGBTQ+-led enterprises. The study was a partnership between CIPE, iNNpulsa Colombia—the innovation and entrepreneurship agency of the Colombian government—and the Centro Nacional de Consultoría, one of Colombia's most prestigious and recognized surveying think tanks, which has worked with numerous companies and the national government. In collaboration with iNNpulsa, they also conducted the first version of the Digital Adoption Study in 2017.

Corruption has long troubled Thailand, halting economic growth and the development of democratic regimes. Attempts at fighting corruption from civil society and governmental procedure have done little to stymie corrupt exchange and have facilitated a culture of corruption across branches of Thai society. With aid from various local and international organisations, the Thai private sector appeared as the unique champion to fight corruption via the Thai Collective Action Against Corruption (Thai CAC) – a movement designed to unite Thai businesses and consolidate a foundation and framework for an actionable anti-corruption narrative.   In this episode of Collectively Combating Kleptocracy, the Thai Institute of Directors Executive Director and Thai CAC representative Pana Ratanabanangkoon joins CIPE's ACGC Program Manager Izabela Chmielewska to discuss the mobilization, emergence, tipping points and subsequent success of the Thai CAC. Ratanabanangkoon outlines the nature of operation while exploring the specific objectives and unique characteristics of the Thai CAC. He also discusses if the Thai CAC reached its desired outcomes, as envisioned at the start of its journey, providing further discussion on what lessons have been learned and how the Thai CAC's formulation process can be reflected in alternative contexts to promote further collective action against corruption in the private sector.

Beginning in November of 2013, then President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych withdrew from a long-desired and promised EU trade agreement in the interest of consolidating a kleptocratic regime with Russia. The events ignited a series of both violent and non-violent large-scale protests in Kyiv, spanning many months. The protests, named ‘Euromaidan' shifted the tide in Ukrainian politics and represented one of Ukraine's largest ever collective action movements against corruption and kleptocracy.   Vladimir Dubrovsky is this episode of Collectively Combating Kleptocracy's guest, joining CIPE's ACGC Program Manager Izabela Chmielewska, to discuss his personal insights into the Euromaidan protests. Vladimir has extensive experience working as a senior economist at Case Ukraine and as a chief expert at the Economic Expert Platform; and a rich experience working in macroeconomics, political institutional economics and governance and anti-corruption. Vladimir outlines the historical and political background leading up to the protests and uses his experience and insight to explore the events' tipping points and mobilization mechanisms. He also discusses the outcome of the protest, noting the shift in collective action narrative in Ukraine, the existing needs for reform and the unification of civil society in response to recent conflicts.

CIPE's Asia Director speaks with two young professionals in Bangladesh to learn their perspectives and first-hand accounts of the political crisis currently unfolding in the country. Civic unrest sparked by university student protests in June led to the fall of a government barely a month later, and the man who is perhaps Bangladesh's most famous citizen is now the head of an interim government.

This Democracy that Delivers episode delves into the complexities of the investment landscape in Argentina. Lesly Rubio, Senior Program Manager of CIPE's Latin American Programs, is joined by the Center for the Implementation of Public Policies Promoting Equity and Growth (CIPPEC) Senior Program Manager, Demian Gonzalez, and the American Chamber (AmCham) in Argentina Public Affairs Director, Marina Senestro to discuss Argentina's recent and ongoing economic transformations.  The podcast examines Argentina's decades of political and economic fluctuations, and its current volatile financial crisis. As we speak, Argentina is now striving to attract foreign investment through a new set of reforms. There is no question that the arrival of a new national administration has represented a breaking point in Argentina since President Javier Milei has expressed his commitment to market-oriented solutions to tackle economic challenges.  Drawing upon CIPPEC's experience in Argentina, Mr. Gonzalez shares that the Omnibus legislation (or “Ley de Bases”) highlights Argentina's great potential for greater economic growth through foreign direct investment (FDI) and increased international trade. Based on AmCham's expertise on investment in Argentina, Ms. Senestro explains the importance of transparency, partnerships, and regulations to maximize the investment in critical economic sectors, ultimately promoting national development and safeguarding investments.

Our episode today focuses on anti-corruption messaging: what messaging has looked like in the past, the challenges and risks it poses, and novel approaches that could yield better results. Holly Sandalow, Program Officer at CIPE's Anti-Corruption & Governance Center, sits down with Caryn Peiffer, Associate Professor in International Public Policy and Governance at the University of Bristol, and Nic Cheeseman, Professor of Democracy at the University of Birmingham, who have authored the new How-to Guide to Anti-Corruption Messaging in partnership with CIPE and with support from the National Democratic Institute. Anti-corruption campaigns have been a staple of both foreign aid programming and civil society over the last 30 years, and there is often an element of awareness-raising that involves producing messages about the harm that corruption can do. There is growing concern, however, that anti-corruption messages may be ineffective—or even do more harm than good—in part because they are not being tailored, targeted and tested to make sure they have the desired effect. Drawing upon their own research and studies by fellow academics about the impacts & efficacy of anti-corruption messaging, Peiffer and Cheeseman discuss the risks of deploying messages that have not been rigorously tailored, targeted, and tested. Listen in to hear what ideas they have for crafting more effective messaging campaigns.

Episode Description This episode's Democracy that Delivers podcast focuses on how individual entrepreneurs and policy professionals are using business integrity and compliance programs to deepen trade ties in North America. Michele Crymes, deputy director of CIPE's Anti-Corruption & Governance Center (ACGC), sits with former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Tony Wayne, and Gabriela Blanco, an anti-corruption expert and specialist in corporate integrity, to discuss business integrity in Mexico's private sector.  Our guests share their perspectives on progress being made and challenges to creating a robust culture of business integrity and complianc in Mexico. In 2024, the institutions and mechanisms of trade in North America are facing the potential for significant change. This year's elections in both the United States and Mexico could lead to changes in the prevailing Untied States-Mexico-Canda Agreement. Regardless of the respective electoral outcomes, business will keep flowing between the three countries, and thus business integrity will remain a focus. Drawing upon his tenure as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Mr. Wayne discusses the impunity rate for crime in Mexico, how a lack of business integrity hurts entrepreneurs, and what is presently being done to create a stronger business environment. Ms. Blanco likewise integrates her years of corporate governance work to examine how CIPE programs work with international firms and Mexican entrepreneurs to try to deliver better outcomes for stakeholders.

Episode Description On this week's episode, Alison Taylor, Clinical Associate Professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, joins CIPE's Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, John Morrell, to discuss her new book, Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World. Professor Taylor, who also serves as the Executive Director of Ethical Systems, draws from her professional experience and academic research to explain why modern businesses care about anti-corruption practices, how she's seen ethical compliance change over time, and what the next era of corporate governance should look like. Our contemporary business environment displays stark differences from those of the past decades. Ethical conduct is now increasingly seen as more than a legal risk around bribery and fraud, as a risk which can be resolved through compliance processes alone. Urgent ecological concerns, unpredictable politics, and heightened employee activism all present business leaders with fresh challenges. Professor Taylor explains that we must now move past entrenched legalistic approaches and into broader conversations about human behavior in organizations and how companies should best exist in their social contexts.    These new approaches follow the same collective action and sustainability models so often practiced by CIPE and our local partners. In her view, business interests have much to learn from anticorruption and development organizations on how to best operate in a world where transparency can be more important than profit. Listen as John and Alison exchange insights for our evolving world.   Professor Taylor

Solo se puede rescatar un plan de pensiones en caso de jubilación, incapacidad, dependencia, fallecimiento, enfermedad o desempleo prolongado, pero en 2015 se añadió un supuesto mucho menos estricto: todo el dinero que cumpliera 10 años de antigüedad podría ser rescatado a voluntad. Quedan menos de 12 meses para que se abra esa ventana de liquidez y el lobby del sector no está contento. De repente, lo que en 2015 se explicaba como una de las ventajas de los planes de pensiones hoy se presenta como un perjuicio para el partícipe. ¿Se trata de un desesperado intento por cerrar o modificar aquella ventana de liquidez? La cuenta atrás ha empezado y José Antonio Herce y Diego Costa nos explicarán con detalle qué está ocurriendo y cuáles son las opciones que se presentan a quienes han contratado estos productos de ahorro. José Antonio Herce es socio director de LoRIS (Longevity & Retirement Income Solutions), una consultora especializada en soluciones avanzadas para la jubilación. Es doctor en economía y ha sido profesor en la UCM, director de FEDEA y socio director de economía aplicada en Afi. Es presidente del Consejo de Expertos del Instituto de Pensiones BBVA y vocal del Foro de Expertos del Instituto Santalucía. Es miembro de honor del Instituto de Actuarios Españoles y en 2019 fue distinguido como Economista Gran Reserva por el Colegio de Economistas de La Rioja. Diego Costa estudió Derecho y ADE por la UNED. Es máster en Value Investing y Teoría del Ciclo por OMMA. Creó para Balio el curso Plan de Pensiones: Aprende si te interesa contratar uno. Desde que empezó a trabajar, con 24 años, se abrió un plan de pensiones y ha venido aportando el máximo anual. Es ahorrador desde siempre, inversor desde 2016 y tiene claro que las claves para un futuro tranquilo son el ahorro y la inversión a largo plazo. En su tiempo libre habla sobre ello en foros y RRSS.

Fernando del Collado conversa con Carlos Navarrete, miembro del Frente Cívico Nacional, quien asegura que el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador recibió maletas con dinero en efectivo en 2006: “Me consta, fui partícipe”. También considera que el mandatario se ha hecho una persona “autoritaria y ególatra”. El exdirigente del PRD acusa que la candidata presidencial del oficialismo, Claudia Sheinbaum, busca votos por desesperación, sin importar de dónde provienen, pero “pagará las consecuencias”. Además, dice, ya ha dejado claro su talante autoritario: “Está mimetizada con AMLO”.

Challenged by a legacy of oligarchic state capture and a war raging in neighboring Ukraine, Moldova has made significant strides in recent years in putting in place anti-corruption structures that strengthen the rule of law and democratic institutions. In the forefront of that effort is Moldova's Chief Anti-Corruption Prosecutor, Veronica Dragalin, a former Assistant United States Attorney who emigrated from Moldova as a child. In this episode of Democracy that Delivers, Dragalin discusses her innovations that she's introduced such as plea agreements, as well as the importance of building trust in the judiciary among a skeptical public. She joins Frank Brown, Director of CIPE's Anti-Corruption & Governance Center, and Natalia Otel Belan, Director of CIPE's Europe and Eurasia Division, to highlight her unique personal story, explain Moldova's prosecutorial process, share the challenges and innovative tactics her office has used to crack down on corrupt behavior, and preview future plans for addressing corruption.   This podcast is brought to you by CIPE's Anti-Corruption & Governance Center.
