In the fourth episode of the 4 Es series, Julia is joined by Sunita, whose experience spans across continents in the field of renewable energy. Leading in different contexts has taught her how to combine seemingly opposite ideas and the one she holds closest is her ability to balance humility with assertiveness. Every new context offers and opportunity to unlearn and re-learn, she say, for the pace, the language and the mode of working may change. This is where humility is necessary. At the same time, it is important to be confident and assertive when it comes to your subject matter. Sunita offers a range of tools and phrases she keeps handy when working with the various kinds of energy one encounters when leading a team. How can you learn to be empathetic but also have clear boundaries? How do you learn to run a successful and healthy team in vastly different context?About the Guest: Sunita Dubey is the Country Representative for the GEAPP in Vietnam and leads battery energy storage system work in the region. She has 25+ years of combined experience in the energy sector in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. She has double master's in environmental science and energy policy and is a Chevening fellow.

This week, Mike and Jude are joined by Thomas Parks, Country Representative for Thailand with The Asia Foundation and author of the recently published book Southeast Asia's Multipolar Future: Averting a New Cold War. They begin with an overview of Southeast Asia's experience during and following the Cold War and discuss the region's desire to avoid a re-division into blocs. They explore how regional states are seeking to preserve strategic ambiguity in their international relations and diversify their economic partnerships to avoid becoming highly dependent on any one great power. They then consider the effects a conflict in Taiwan would have on regional states' autonomy and probable reactions if conflict were to occur, as well as regional perspectives on the prospects for major U.S.-China decoupling and associated vulnerabilities. The conservation concludes by exploring space for multipolar cooperation in the region among small and middle powers, how they have prioritized deep connections with each other, and how this in turn allows them to enter into robust security or economic relationships with major powers while also preserving the perception of autonomy in the eyes of their peers.

Did you know that regional rural banks, or RRBs, have 28.3 crore depositors and 2.6 crore borrowers? They were created to provide rural areas with basic banking services, and they also disburse pensions and NREGA wages. With the government infusing Rs 10,890 crore to recapitalise RRBs, greenlighting their listing on stock exchanges and pushing operational reforms, can they become booster rockets for financial inclusion? And why are RRBs so critical to the rural and overall national economy?

Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Mark Militello is the Country Representative of the Bank of New York Mellon. This is his third posting to Japan, though he has had a long history within the Investment banking space. He was most recently with the Bank of New York Mellon in Hong Kong for 10 years before relocating to Tokyo. When leading in Japan, Mr. Militello explains how Japanese employees may not feel comfortable asking specific questions to their clients. This may be due to their lower rank in the company or the Japanese culture. He says that it is important for him to sometimes step in and ask those hard questions to ensure the operation is running smoothly. Although banks as an industry are not known to be creative, Mr. Militello says that creating a safe, relaxed environment for his team, especially the junior employees, can bring out more innovative ideas. Mr. Militello further explains that gaining the trust of Japanese employees can be a challenge for a foreign leader. He adds, letting the Japanese staff know that you have their back, that you are invested in them and will fight for the team with headquarters has helped with establish trust. A way of getting people engaged in the company is to be transparent. Mr. Militello emphasizes that they must try to give everyone a voice and that must go beyond the leadership team. He says that leadership is typically of a certain demographic. Leadership may be men that are of a certain age and background with a traditional way of thinking. This is not representative of the views of the whole company. Mr. Militello emphasizes being mindful of this and trying to hear everyone's views, even people lower down on the hierarchy, is essential. Mr. Militello advises people to come to Japan with an open mind. He also suggests unlearning most of the things that they may have learned, as they may not apply to Japan. Furthermore, Mr. Militello referred to his experience to nearby countries. He says that people in Hong Kong and Korea have more English speakers in the population, whereas in Japan it is a lot less and thus it is important to be mindful of this. He recommends trying to learn Japanese, even if it is a few phrases to show your commitment. Mr. Militello also suggests getting to know Japan outside the office. He says there is a lot to enjoy, especially the green spaces and the fantastic food.

The Country Representative, the World Health Organization (WHO) Dr Walter Kazadi Mulombo, has said that globally that it is estimated that over 700,000 people take their lives annually, adding that 77% of all global suicides occurred in low-and-middle-income countries. Mulombo said this in commemoration of the 2022 World Suicide Prevention Day. He commended the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire stakeholders for their commitment towards suicide prevention in Nigeria.He praised health experts for their efforts towards suicide prevention in the country. He called on individuals to play a role in supporting those experiencing a suicidal crisis or those bereaved by suicide whether as a member of society, saying, “We can all create hope through action and be the light”. He assured that, together, by raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide, and encouraging well-informed action, “we can reduce instances of suicide in our country and inadvertently around the world”. He noted that every year, the World Suicide Prevention Day is commemorated on September 10.Mulombo who emphasised on the need to increase awareness that suicide is preventable, insists that suicide continues to remain a serious public health concern with a profound impact on all. This year's theme is with the theme: “Creating hope through action”, the organisers said it intends to serve as a reminder that there is an alternative to suicide. Besides “the theme aspires to inspire confidence and light in all of us, aims to empower individuals to be in charge of their lives and value the one life they have. Creating hope through action highlights the importance of setting suicide prevention as a priority public health agenda by countries, particularly where access to mental health services and availability of evidence-based interventions are already low”, said the WHO chief.He added, “For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide. “Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds. “Every case of suicide is a tragedy that affects families, communities and entire country and it has long-lasting effects on the people left behind.“Suicides are preventable with timely, evidence-based and often low-cost interventions. “For national responses to be effective, a comprehensive multi-sectoral suicide prevention strategy is needed. “In 2013, the World Health Assembly adopted the Mental Health Action Plan 2013 – 2020 and identified suicide prevention as an important priority for achieving the global target of reducing the rate of suicide in countries by 10% by 2020.
Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Nikolaus Boltze is currently the country representative for Thyssenkrupp in Japan. Mr. Boltze first came to Japan in 1972 as a child, while his father was working with the German embassy and was posted to Japan. He attended the German school which was at that time in Ōmori and since that time he has a certain soft spot for Japan. They returned to Japan in the early 80's and he finished his graduation from high school at the German School in Japan. He returned to Germany for his University in Engineering and military service. When Mr. Boltze was applying for jobs after university, he came across a Japanese company starting its operations in Europe called Daifuku. The job description listed a variety of initatives, from setting up an office, finding additional staff, reaching out first to new customers in Germany, transferring the products, which had an excellent Japanese design, but make them fit for the European market and so on. This role got him excited as a young engineer without any previous experience as it was much more than just designing the rear back wheel for a Mercedes Benz, which would be the typical start position for a young engineer. He stayed in this role for 5 years and then later took a position at an automotive supplier called Bayer based out Stuttgart and they were looking for a Project Manager. He took this role and spent a year developing a strategy for entering the Japanese market based in Stuttgart. He presented this to the board, and they came back to him and asked him if he was willing to implement his own strategy and go work from Japan. So, he returned to Japan and started looking for an office and a secretary to start Bayer's work in Japan. He was in this role for about 6 years until 2005. Mr. Boltze says they have not been too successful in hiring new graduates in Japan. Typically, new graduates in Japan are focused on working for Japanese firms and they also may have some family pressure to work for well-known Japanese companies. They feel they have better success with mid-career employees who have returned to Japan after working in the US, Europe, or Southeast Asia and they don't feel well suited to the Japanese environment. Mr. Boltze says that female engineers are another of their hiring strengths. Hiring female engineers has been good for the company because a lot of the time women feel more comfortable and less restricted at a global company rather than a Japanese one, Mr. Boltze also says they don't discriminate based on gender so women may feel more at ease at Thyssenkrupp. Another segment of people they hire are people from other Asian countries such as Korea, Taiwan or Malaysia who have a degree from Japan and are rather well versed with the culture but for work, they may prefer to work for an international firm. Advice that Mr. Boltze would give to someone new to Japan who is not familiar with the culture would be to understand that Japan is a G7 nation and if you are bringing a novel idea or a new way of doing something, chances are there may already be a Japanese way or a local firm doing this, and it is harder to penetrate that. Ensuring that firms understand that Japan is a unique island nation and there is likely a local way of doing the thing that you are wanting to do in Japan is beneficial. Learning Japanese isn't going to hurt but on the other side communication is very important. Japanese as a language is vague and not very precise and sometimes communicating in German or English can be more direct, setting clear goals and giving directions to staff may be more beneficial in German or English.

PIM Webinar COVID-19 and agricultural value chains: Impacts and adaptations November 29, 2021 In 2020, researchers working under “Inclusive and Efficient Value Chains” (https://pim.cgiar.org/research/f3/) flagship under the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) developed a set of standardized questionnaires for assessing the impact of COVID-19 on agricultural value chains. The set includes questionnaires for farmers, traders, and processors. Despite their brevity (interview time of 25 minutes), the questionnaires cover the impact on scale of operations, employment, input use, production, small enterprise closures, profits, and welfare and food security of proprietors. They have been applied to eight value chains in Central America, Africa, and Asia. To deepen the understanding of how agri-food value chains have been adapting to the new reality, in 2021, the CGIAR COVID-19 Hub (https://a4nh.cgiar.org/covidhub/covid-hub-focus-addressing-value-chain-fractures/) working group on value chains issued a call for proposals on the theme of “Assessing the effectiveness of innovations and measures in maintaining agri-food value chains functional during COVID-19.” In this webinar, we will present some major findings of these studies in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. Ben Belton (WorldFish) and Diego Naziri (CIP) will present how small-scale traders, wholesalers and processors in the potato and fish value chains in Kenya have pivoted to cope with and adapt to the changing circumstances brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Gashaw Abate (IFPRI) will present on the performance of Ethiopia's coffee value chain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Abut Hayat Md. Saiful Islam (Bangladesh Agricultural University) and Marcel Gatto (CIP) will provide insights into the impacts of COVID-19 on several actors in value chain for potato in Bangladesh. Humnath Bhandari (IRRI) and G.M. Monirul Alam (BSMRAU-Bangladesh) will discuss the major impacts of COVID-19 on the rice and fish value chains in Bangladesh, focusing on the government interventions, how value chain actors adapted, and what lessons have been learnt. Presenters: Ben Belton - Global Lead, Social and Economic Inclusion, WorldFish Diego Naziri – value chain and postharvest specialist, International Potato Center (CIP); Leader of “Nutritious Food and Value Added through Post-harvest Innovation” research flagship in the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) Gashaw Tadesse Abate - Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Abut Hayat Md. Saiful Islam – Professor at Department of Agricultural Economics at Bangladesh Agricultural University in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Marcel Gatto – Agricultural Economist at the International Potato Center (CIP). Humnath Bhandari - Senior Agricultural Economist and Country Representative, IRRI Bangladesh. G.M. Monirul Alam - Professor, Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh.

Everyone has one or more moments in their life they will never forget where they were or what they were doing when an unexpected event took place. For me it was a typical hot sticky evening in South Sudan, with a broken generator in the hundred degree heat. I remember getting up in the night to douse my hair with water to cool down enough to get to sleep, and lying back down hearing fireworks (or maybe gun shots?) through my open window. The next morning we discovered indeed those gun shots overnight signified the government splitting in two and the country tumbled into a Civil War. As things escalated and we sought how to adjust to this new reality, it was an emotional time period and one which was especially stressful for our national staff, most of whom fled with only their families to hide from the onslaught that followed. Looking back on this time period, I am curious how I would have handled managing a country program of over 400 staff during this time, and how to keep everyone united despite all the chaos. In order to explore what she experienced and what she was thinking during this time, I asked Lorraine Bramwell, the Country Representative at the time, to share her lessons learned. In the interview Lorraine is very honest about her thoughts and feelings, as well as what she learned which made an impact and that which maybe could have been done differently. It is always easy to reflect back and think what we could have done or would have if we were in the leadership position, but in a situation like this you will really not know unless you are in the middle of it. That said, it is to our advantage as leaders to learn from others who have been in difficult situations that we may never experience but heaven forbid if we should, we at least have some ideas on how to handle them.

“There is no such thing as cheap food.” For some of us, a typical day's diet could be oatmeal for breakfast, bean salad for lunch, and fish and chips for dinner. Little do we know, the oatmeal was farmed unethically with illegal pesticides, the beans came from a country suffering from drought and the fish came from a company that illegally overfished foreign waters, destroying a way of life for generations of local fishermen. Like many of us, Special Advisor for the UN World Food Programme, Elizabeth Nyamayaro grew up knowing hunger, despite a childhood filled with freshly picked mangos and cream straight from the goats – her family was badly affected by a drought driven by climate change devastated her village and crops. In the premiere episode of, “Better Food. Better World”, Elizabeth shares her story and speaks with three leaders of the food security movement. The Father of Food Systems, Dr. Steven Were, gives us an overview of food systems. Chef Arthur Potts Dawson, star of The People's Supermarket, challenges restauranteurs to educate their customers. Activist and poet Linda Gabriel stresses the importance of indigenous knowledge and shares a poem dedicated to her first food educator, her grandmother.

“What we're seeing is the desperation out there in the hospitals. We're seeing desperation in the communities. We're seeing even among our team being affected directly by it. At the same time, you know, we've seen communities come together.” Yasmin Ali Haque has worked for the UN’s Children’s Fund, UNICEF for almost 25 years and is now the Country Representative in India. She explains how the current coronavirus situation there is driving some of the world’s poorest families back to negative coping mechanisms including a returning rise in child marriage. Involved in emergency response throughout her career, Yasmin was also working in Sri Lanka when the devastating tsunami hit in 2004 and shares some of the heartbreaking stories from the wreckage alongside her memories of growing up in a repartition camp in Bangladesh during the Indo-Pakistan war in the 1970s. “When I talk to people in the community, whether it's a health worker or a mum or a dad or a grandparent, that's the reality check for me. Are we really doing what is needed the most?”

Welcome to Episode 97 of Good Will Hunters, brought to you by Good Will Media. I’m your host Rachel Mason Nunn. Today is the first in a two part series with country representatives from the Asia Foundation. In this interview, I speak to Sam Chittick, Country Representative for the Phillipines. I really enjoyed this discussion for a few reasons. Firstly, Sam and I discuss the role of the private sector in achieving development in the Phillipines, and how dialogues are helping to bridge the gaps between government, private and NGOs. We then discuss the social impacts of Covid-19 in the Phillpines on households that were already experiencing poverty, including the loss of livelihoods and the decision of President Rodrigo Duterte to stop any children going back to school until a vaccine is available. On this note, we discuss the challenges of running an aid program under the Duterte Presidency. Lastly we discuss the decision made by the Australian Government to scale back our aid investments in much of Asia, and Sam’s view on whether this is in the best interests of the Phillipines or not. Now before I go, there are two upcoming events I want to tell you about. The first is the Pawa Liklik NGO Forum which is in two days, on Wednesday 30 September! It is a free event for anyone working in or interested in the development sector, run by my wonderful friends at the Kokoda Track Foundation. It’s not too late to sign up, just visit the link in our show notes. https://www.pawaliklik.community The second is the Oceania Connect Conference, hosted by ACFID, in partnership with the New Zealand Council for International Development and the Pacific Islands Associated of Non Gov Organisations, or PIANGO. The conference will be held virtually this year from 27 - 30 October. It is one of my favourites events for our sector each year, and I’m honoured to be hosting a very exciting panel this year which I’ll tell you more about in the coming weeks. Again, you can buy your ticket via the link in our show notes - this one is not to be missed! https://acfid.asn.au/content/oceania-connect-2020 I’d love to hear your take on the discussion - please visit our social media pages or you can tweet me directly.

John Hummel has been serving as the Deschutes County District Attorney since he was first elected in 2014. Before that, he served on the Bend City Council for six years, and then resigned in 2007 to earn his Masters in public policy from Johns Hopkins University. He then worked in Liberia, Africa, for two and a half years as the Country Representative for the Carter Center, the former president’s peace and health organization. Hummel has taken a proactive stance on criminal justice reform and created a number of programs designed to reduce rates of crime recidivism in Deschutes County. He began with a collaborative approach, bringing community members together into a committee to discuss ways his office could prevent crime before it happened. Out of those meetings, Hummel made it a priority to help people suffering from addiction by providing an opportunity for drug offenders to see a doctor who would then determine the right pathway to treatment or mental health interventions. Hummel discusses this and more on this week’s episode of “Bend Don’t Break” hosted by the Source Weekly’s publisher, Aaron Switzer.

School Reopening: Managing Risks in the Covid-19 Era The government’s decision to tentatively reopen schools on 15th September has spurred a nationwide debate on the safety of students, teachers and communities at large. While some experts believe that Pakistan should no longer sacrifice on learning outcomes, others argue that the reopening of schools – particularly if SOPs are not effectively implemented – can potentially trigger another surge in coronavirus cases. Tabadlab brought together education experts and policy leaders to analyse the costs and benefits attached to the crucial decision of reopening schools. Featured Panelists Mehnaz Akbar Aziz is a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan and Founding Director of Children’s Global Network Pakistan Dr. Ayesha Razzaque is an Education Researcher and Consultant, and currently works as a Technical Consultant and Senior Sector Specialist in Education at UNDP, Pakistan Dr. Faisal Bari is the Interim Dean at the School of Education (SOE) at LUMS. He also serves as the Director and Senior Research Fellow at IDEAS. Nadya Karim-Shaw is the Portfolio Manager for Pakistan’s Girls’ Education Challenge grants and formerly the Country Representative for World Learning in Pakistan. Maj (R) Aurangzeb Badini is the Deputy Commissioner of Quetta. Discussion Summary Coronavirus Trajectory Some stakeholders in Pakistan’s education system, including students, point at the declining coronavirus cases in the country as sufficient grounds for reopening schools. Others believe that Pakistan should brace itself for another surge in cases, which could potentially be triggered by the reopening of schools and would cause another inevitable disruption to the education cycle. Risk vs. Reward Should schools be reopened when the lives of students, teachers, staff and the community at large are still at risk due to the pandemic? The myth that children and young adults are immune to the coronavirus has been proven wrong. In these extraordinary circumstances, is it more important to sustain learning outcomes or curb the spread of the virus? Institutional Capacity The Covid-19 pandemic differs from other disasters such as earthquakes and floods as its impact spans the course of many months or years. Are teachers and support staff ready to implement SOPs in schools? How will district administrations monitor the implementation of these SOPs, and who will be held responsible if something goes wrong? Does the government have the capacity to monitor private schools as well as madrassas? Financial Constraints The reopening of schools amidst a pandemic will require the adoption of new SOPs, use of protective equipment and training of teachers and staff. Without significant funds, schools will struggle to carry out these measures. Is the government’s education budget sufficient to implement these reforms in public schools? With no financial package announced for private schools, will parents be forced to bear the cost? Unequal Opportunities The inaccessibility of EdTech for the majority of students in Pakistan is a compelling argument for the reopening of schools. However, even after schools reopen, factors such as the number of students per class, size of campus and availability of protective equipment will give some schools an advantage over others. How can policymakers ensure that the existing education divide is not exacerbated after the reopening? Learning Losses Covid-19 has brought about a new host of challenges for Pakistan’s educators. Due to the prolonged closure of schools, teachers will struggle to bring students up to speed. Coupled with a physically restrictive learning environment, is it realistic to assume that learning will be the same as it was before the pandemic? Our speakers discuss whether schools should consider relaxing student learning outcomes.

Welcome to Episode 80 of Good Will Hunters from the Development Policy Centre. The focus of today’s episode is Chinese Aid, with our guests Ji Hongbo and Denghua Zhang. China’s aid has been on the rise for years, not only in the Pacific, but around the world. And with China-US rivalry taken to a new level as a result of COVID-19, China’s aid is set to become more important and more controversial than ever. We often hear from experts on China about Chinese aid, but rarely from Chinese experts themselves. Yet given China’s complexity, not to mention the language barriers, hearing from those who understand the country and its systems is obviously critical In this episode I chat with two experts who have both worked in the past for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ji Hongbo is the Asia Foundation’s Country Representative in China, in Canberra for the year at the ANU, but normally based in Beijing. Hongbo’s prior experience includes 5 years of diplomatic experience with China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including an assignment to the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations in New York. Denghua Zhang is a Research Fellow in the Department of Pacific Affairs at the ANU. He completed his PhD on Chinese Foreign Aid and Trilateral Aid Cooperation in 2017, and recently released a book with ANU Press titled ‘A Cautious Approach: China’s Growing Trilateral Aid Cooperation’. You can access it here - https://press.anu.edu.au/publications/series/pacific-affairs/cautious-new-approach Hongbo and I discuss China’s approach to international aid and development, including their focus on bilateral engagement over trilateral or multilateral engagement. We also discuss the rise of NGOs in China, and the independence of these NGOs as they attempt to implement government-funded projects. We discuss what traditional donors can learn from China and vice versa. Lastly we discuss how Chinese aid is responding to Covid-19. Denghua and I discuss China’s approach to the Pacific, and why China is so interested in the Pacific. We address claims of debt-trap diplomacy and deepening military and security ties. We also discuss whether China can realistically collaborate with Australia on aid delivery on an ongoing basis. In this episode you’ll hear some real insider perspectives on Chinese aid. It’s a rare opportunity, and I hope it promotes the sort of understanding we’re going to need as a globe if we are to successfully navigate China’s rise to superpower status. For more coverage of Chinese aid to the Pacific, including artcles by Denghua and Hongbo, visit the Devpolicy blog at devpolicy.org. Recent articles on Chinese aid include: https://devpolicy.org/the-new-chinese-aid-agency-after-its-first-two-years-20200422-2/ https://devpolicy.org/chinas-coronavirus-covid-19-diplomacy-in-the-pacific-20200527-1/ https://devpolicy.org/covid-19-and-chinas-soft-power-ambitions-20200424-2/ You’d also be aware that the Government released a strategy a few days ago, outlining Australia’s response to Covid-19 in the region. We’ll be bringing you more coverage and analysis of that soon. Enjoy, The GWH Team
Welcome to Episode 78 of Good Will Hunters from the Development Policy Centre. Today on the show we have Diana Fernandez and Faisal Bin Seraj. Diana is the Deputy Country Representative for the Asia Foundation in Myanmar and Faisal is the Asia Foundation’s Country Representative in Bangladesh. Myanmar and Bangladesh, like all countries, have been hit by Covid-19. At this stage, the economic impacts are outweighing the health impacts, despite both countries having fragile health systems. Diana and I discuss Myanmar’s economic dependence on China, and how this has impacted on Myanmar’s response to Covid-19 including the closure of their borders along with the emergence of Chinese NGOs. We discuss why Myanmar’s healthcare system is ranked as one of the worst in the world, and why the Ministry of Health recognises that it cannot cope with a Covid-19 outbreak. We also discuss the internet blackout occurring in Myanmar, as revealed by a private telecommunications provider, Telenor, who was ordered by the Ministry of Information in Myanmar to switch off some of their internet towers. The blackout has made the coordination of aid to parts of Myanmar difficult and speaks to broader concerns about the freedom of the media and the spread of critical information. Faisal and I discuss why the growth-rate of Covid-19 infections in Bangladesh has been higher than other Asian countries, but also how Cox’s Bazar and the large refugee camp it houses, have managed to emerge with no confirmed cases. However, since the time of recording, two Rohingya refugees have tested positive for Covid-19 in Cox’s Bazar. Faisal and I also discuss the low-cost test kits that have been distributed in Bangladesh and whether their reliability is a problem. Like Myanmar, there are also restrictions on internet access and media freedoms in Bangladesh, which we discuss. Lastly, we discuss the stimulus package announced by the Bangladesh government and whether it is enough to protect precious informal sector workers as well as the garment manufacturing sector, who have been hit hard by international brands cancelling their orders.
