If the world is ever going to end hunger, ensure food security and embrace sustainable agriculture practices, we've got to invest more in agriculture. Particularly, in developing countries. Now, governments and international organizations do invest in agriculture of course, but less than in healthcare, for example. And we wondered why? It turns out it's not so much a question of why healthcare receives more funding, it's how such funds are raised and distributed that makes a difference.   In this podcast, we're going to explore findings from our new report on agricultural development financing and highlight some innovative practices from healthcare sector that could be used to boost resources for agriculture in low and middle income countries. Our guests are global health policy professor Gavin Yamey of the Duke University Center for Policy Impacting Global Health and global health financing and policy expert, Marco Schaeferhoff of Open Consultants.   Interview Summary Marco, in our report, we explore some of the reasons why ODA, official development assistance, increased so dramatically for healthcare. But first, could you help our listeners understand some of the big differences in development assistance for the health sector as compared to the agricultural sector? Great question. So, what I would say is that the sheer amount of financing, official development assistance, for health and for agriculture are vastly different. If you look at the last 10, 20 years, agriculture ODA rose a little bit in absolute terms but as a share of total ODA, it remains rather flat. It's about 4 percent of total ODA. In health, you have a completely different picture. After the year 2000 up until roughly 2012, there was an enormous growth in development assistance for health from about 12 billion up to even 36 billion in 2012. This era between 2000 and 2012 was called the golden age global health financing. Despite the fact that there is already so much development assistance for health, it's still growing. If you look at agriculture, this is a very different picture where you have maybe at 10 or 11 billion, and it's very likely that we will see a decline in 2020 due to the COVID crisis. In addition, the composition of agriculture ODA is also interesting. So if you look at the ODA provided by bilateral donor countries, like the US, or the UK, or Germany, about three quarters of all agriculture ODA in 2018 was bilateral ODA. In contrast, multilateral institutions, like the World Bank or EFR, only accounted for about a quarter. So, and relatively small share of all agriculture ODA. As a result of that, you have many small projects. So for example, the bilateral reported almost 14,000 aid activities for agriculture alone in 2018. And the average size of these projects and program was less than half a million. This is of course difficult from a recipient perspective, because you have many small projects which cause high transaction costs, and which are often also largely uncoordinated. So that's one thing. In addition, if you look at the distribution of ODA loans versus 48 grants, you can see that about 35 percent of all agriculture ODA came in loans, and 65 percent came in grants, in 2018 again. So, first of all compared to 2017 levels, grantage fell by about 8 percent. What is kind of interesting is that in the agriculture sector, multilateral funders tend to use loans but bilateral funders, primarily use grants. So what is striking is that in 2018, 80 percent of all multilateral agriculture ODA was provided by loans and only 20 percent in grants. The issue now compare this distribution with the health sector, you will see that exactly the opposite. So in health, about 80 percent of multilateral ODA comes in grants and only 20 percent in loans. What this shows is essentially that there is no large scale multi-lateral funder that provides grants for agriculture. So during the time period in which healthcare development aid exploded, governments were working towards the UN's millennium development goals or MDGs. Those goals created a focus for donor investment in low and middle income countries. And that's a good segue for my next question to Gavin. What can the agricultural development financing sector learn from the health financing sector? I think the health sector did very well on resource mobilization. Marco mentioned this term golden era where there was astonishing growth in health ODA. Really remarkable explosive growth, tripling of annual ODA for health. And it's probably no surprise that when you look at where that went to it was for the MDGs for health. Right? So, child health, maternal health and HIV AIDS, TB and malaria. And this explosive growth in ODA for health was targeted particularly to those three goals. And I think what that tells you is health did well at saying, "We need to mobilize and have a clear financing plan for these particular priorities." And that's what happened. How that happened is another lesson here for the ag dev sector. And that is, it was largely explained by the launch of new kinds of financing mechanisms. I think one of the things the health sector did well was to innovate in terms of the architecture of global health. So you started to see new entities forming that were mobilizing very large amounts of new financing. For example, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, Unitaid – so-called innovative financing mechanisms innovative financiers that we're able to mobilize large amounts of new dedicated financing for HIV, TB, malaria, vaccine preventable diseases and so on. And it wasn't just through traditional means that ODA was mobilizing. If you take UNITAID, for example, it has raised most of its funding, which is for HIV, TB and malaria, through a solidarity air ticket tax. So in about 20 or 30 countries that are members of Unitaid, when you buy an airline ticket, the taxes placed on that ticket and it's used to fund Unitaid programs. And also a carbon tax. And I think the health sector has done well in using these new kinds of instruments: Airline solidarity, levies, vaccine bonds, for example, which turned long-term contributions by donors into immediately available cash. Advanced market commitments where agreements are made upfront, that if a global health technology is developed, they will be financing to buy it. So there's a range of innovative approaches that have been used in the health sector together with this sort of financing roadmap, a mobilization strategy, and a focus on multi-lateral rather than bilateral financing. All of which the ag dev sector I think could learn from. So in our report, we highlight several ways to boost agricultural donor support such as innovative financing mechanisms, reforming the aid architecture, coordinating investment through a financing roadmap and shifting more support to multilateral organizations that pool money such as the World Bank. Marco, do you have anything else to add to that list? Yes, I think it's a great list. Maybe some quick nuances to this. So, one example Gavin mentioned the very important new mechanisms, these were deliberately created as grants based mechanisms. So the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria or Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance were grant-based. Because before in global health, when it came to multilateral health finances, what the community realized at that point was that loans might not be the right way to tackle these diseases, especially HIV. So that's important. The second thing is that the growth in global health financing, to some extent was also fueled by the anxiety of the HIV pandemic at that time. So there was a securitization of HIV, and the Global Fund, for example, was supposed to be an HIV fund first and foremost, but then malaria and TB was added. So I'm saying that because MDG5, which was maternal health, and MDG4, which was child health, was a little bit neglected. And there was a realization that there was a lot of funding for MDG6. And at around 2008, 2009 there was a big discussion and debate about how to increase ODA for maternal and child health. And in that context, there was a very concrete multi-stakeholder effort to coordinate the field, and to raise funding for these specific purposes. And that was a global strategy for women, children and adolescent health. And that was a really important document which also included key indicators and the whole community really surrounded, and it really helped to coordinate the field and to raise financing. So I think this is a very concrete example to Gavin's point. And then finally we believe in the health sector that is the investments in what we call global public goods investments for example, in data. Data or needs, results, financing best practices, knowledge distribution functions, research, technical innovations. So there were quite a lot of investment, insufficient investment, but still quite a lot of investment into such global public goods. And we feel that such investment paid off based on very concrete data to say, who's putting in money into global health at country level. What is the impact of an intervention? What is the benefit cost ratio of investing in health? So these kinds of data, metrics and research I think that was a very valuable investment. And to some extent, we also see this in other sectors but I would say the focus in health is really unprecedented and that is something that agriculture could also focus on more in the future. So Marco, I'm curious then, what are the barriers for the agricultural development financing sector to make those shifts, to try to emulate the health sector financing? So, I would say that overall there is a lot of potential for the agriculture sector to learn from health. Let me maybe just say that we do not want to idolize the health sector. It still has challenges, but I think it moved in the right direction in the past decade. Things like investments in global public goods, grant-based multi-laterals investments in new technologies and innovations, investments in data and metrics. All these things could be more emphasized in agriculture as well. In terms of barriers, it is true of course, that in health we have seen a number of huge crisis. Gavin and I mentioned the HIV AIDS crisis, or the West African Ebola crisis, that really helped to increase the amounts and development assistance for health substantially. So I think much of what we suggest in the report could be applied to the agriculture sector as well. It's probably true that in the health sector, the technological fixes might be a little bit more important. It's very hard to develop vaccines, it's hard to develop new drugs, it's hard to distribute them, but we have very good tools and to some extent we do not have that in agriculture. But I think there's still a lot of potential for R&D and innovations. In addition, I would say that the current context, because of the COVID crisis, we will see a decline in ODA overall, but certainly for agriculture and other areas. We will see to what extent of the health sector will be affected. It might well be the case that we see another increase in health ODA. But the current context is a little bit difficult. Another thing we found in our study is that there is quite a lot of fragmentation in the agriculture sector. So when it comes to coordination piece, that we suggested a concerted effort to finance agriculture, and that might be fairly hard to achieve simply because you have multiple bilaterals with different perspectives. I think if you look at the Europeans or the US, there is a difference in interests and perspectives. So that is something that would have to be figured out. We have few multilateral financers which sometimes collaborate with each other but often there is lack of foreign action. So I think these things make the reform of the global architecture a little bit difficult, but to be honest, 20 years ago we faced very similar issues in the health sector. Overall, I do think that what we suggest in terms of innovative financing mechanisms data, multilateral grant funds saying these broad directions should and can be taken on board by agriculture. Gavin turning to you, you talked a lot about innovative financing mechanisms in the health sector and how they could be applied to the agricultural development sector. I'm curious, what are typical barriers for setting up those types of innovative financing mechanisms that you could foresee? As the name suggests, innovative, it requires stakeholders to think beyond traditional sources, right? So it requires new ways of thinking. It requires some kind of demonstration project or some at least pathway to seeing how an innovative financing mechanism could work. So it's often difficult to pilot these large scale initiatives, you know, but at least showing proof of principle, showing the potential investment case can be very helpful. If you look at some of the innovative financing mechanisms that you could argue have been successful, like Unitaid use of an airline ticket tax and a carbon tax. Those are the two sources of financing that Unitaid has used to raise very large volumes of financing for HIV, TB, and malaria. They were actually able to quite quickly demonstrate, you know, how much money could be raised. And they are a very significant player now in the HIV, TB landscape. I think there is some skepticism around some of the less tried and true ways to raise money that are, you know, still being tested out, if you like. There's been lots of talk for example, about tourist taxes. If, for example, you're a tourist who goes to a malaria endemic region, there's a lot of talk of an innovative tourist tax. You ask that tourist to pay $5 or $10 to enter the country and use it for malaria control. I haven't seen those sorts of mechanisms take off yet. I know they were under consideration, for example for the Island of Zanzibar. And similarly, a lot of talk about using bonds, has been used successfully, I would argue in the vaccine space. And then the last point I would probably make is, in my mind the most innovative thing we could be doing for global health financing, certainly for mobilizing financing for international collective action and global public goods like pandemic preparedness or research and development for neglected and emerging infectious diseases, would actually be a new kind of global pooled fund or perhaps a global tax. We haven't really ever been able to go there, perhaps because of a general disquiet, a general lack of enthusiasm for a global tax. But I think post COVID-19, I don't really see how we can get away from the notion that each nation is going to contribute according to its means towards, you know, some kind of pooled fund going forward. And there may be that sort of conversation happening around agricultural development financing as well.

As part of the 2020: YEAR OF THE NURSE series, we are highlighting the work of Tracey L Yap, PhD, RN, WCC, CNE, FGSA, FAAN. Dr. Yap is an Associate Professor at Duke University School of Nursing and a Senior Fellow in the Duke University Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development.  In 2019 she was the recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). The PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government to outstanding scientists and engineers who are beginning their independent research careers and who show exceptional promise for leadership in science and technology.  She was nominated for this prestigious award by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Only a handful of nurse scientists have ever been awarded. In this week’ episode, you’ll learn more about: Pressure injuries which are a serious health concern for older adults living in nursing homes Part One of ‘2020: Year of the Nurse - An Interview with Tracey Yap’ The overarching goal of Dr. Yap’s research is to improve the quality of care delivered by nursing staff regardless of setting. She aims to advance nursing’s ability to improve healthcare outcomes by increasing the mobility and movement of all nursing home residents through cueing approaches for staff, such as reminder messages and behavioral alerts.  More specifically, she aims to understand and improve the processes that facilitate nursing staff implementation of evidence-based mobility/movement best practices that target common, yet seemingly intractable geriatric conditions, such as facility-acquired pressure injuries/ulcers.  She has had research grant funding by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institute of Safety and Health, and The John A. Hartford Foundation.  Dr. Yap teaches in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice program. In recognition of her accomplishments, she was inducted into the American Academy of Nursing as a Fellow in 2015 and into the Gerontological Society of America as a Fellow in 2018.  “Believe in yourself because there are people that will [need you].” — Tracey L Yap, PhD, RN, WCC, CNE, FGSA, FAAN (20:35-20:38) After graduating from high school, she was advised to pick nursing as a career and was told, “If you do nursing, there are many ways to grow.” That was the best advice she’s ever heard, and it has been a fabulous career. Admittedly, she didn’t know what nurses could do until she was in nursing school.    Tracey’s husband is an MD with a family practice, and at the time of her graduation with a PhD, he was the medical director of a nursing home that had a big problem with pressure ulcers (also known as pressure sores or bedsores). He asked her to write a grant proposal and came up with an idea to literally play music to remind the nursing staff to move people. This study demonstrated a 45% protective effect against pressure ulcers for ALL residents - not just preventing pressure injuries in high-risk residents.   Tracey stated that it was fascinating to watch the whole thing unfold. Residents were encouraged to share their unique stories and memories associated with the chosen music - and  all of the nursing home employees participated when the music played, not just the nursing staff. Part Two of ‘2020: Year of the Nurse - An Interview with Tracey Yap’ Music has the power to connect generations. Over 60% of nursing home residents have some form of cognitive impairment, but even in very advanced Alzhiemer’s disease, music and rhythm are retained.  So, if the resident hears their favorite song from young adulthood, they may be able to   sing all the words when they can't talk to you anymore. Music is a great way to build a relationship with them.   One of the challenges in preventing pressure injuries is the nursing staff coming in every two hours to position you. This 2-hour interval was established by one study conducted in 1964. Since that time, we have made significant advances with pressure-relieving mattresses. Her current clinical trial, funded by the NINR combines cueing approaches with these new mattress to determine if resident turning should be at 2-, 3-, or 4-hour intervals if they are bedridden. “Most people that work in nursing homes are there because they truly care and love those residents.” —  Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (20:55-21:01) Here's good advice from Dr. Yap, who's currently helping develop the new standard of care for pressure injury prevention: "Keep believing in yourself, because there are people that will. Naysayers think there's a specific path that you need to be on. I would advocate that you run with whatever it is that interests you."

I truly enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home and office visits) then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my PhD in Nursing and a post-Master’s Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing (’11) and then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 and led to me joining the faculty at George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor where I am also the Director of the GW Center for Aging, Health and Humanities.

On this week's episode, hosts April Dawson and Irv Joyner discuss the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, also known as the Wilmington Massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington Coup of 1898, with special guests Dr. Timothy Tyson – Historian, Author, and Senior Research Scholar for the Duke University Center for Documentary Studies; and Dr. Kenneth Janken – Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Wilmington Massacre of 1898 occurred in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Thursday, November 10, 1898. The coup occurred after the state's white southern Democrats conspired and led a mob of 2,000 white men to overthrow the legitimately elected Fusionist government. They expelled opposition black and white political leaders from the city, destroyed the property and businesses of black citizens built up since the Civil War, including the only black newspaper in the city, and killed an estimated 60 to 300 people.

At the opening of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, 1 billion viewers watched as a paraplegic young man walked on to the field with the assistance of a futuristic exoskeleton and, against all odds, was able to kick a ball using only his mind.

The Council for European Studies Society of Fellows is a community of European Studies scholars, consisting of graduate and professional students, visiting fellows, and postdocs. Fellows meet monthly to discuss their ongoing research with peers from a range of disciplines. The Society of Fellows is a collaborative program between the Council for European Studies, Duke University Center for Jewish Studies, and the Religions and Public Life Initiative at the Kenan Institute for Ethics which provides members with modest research scholarships, opportunities to interact on campus and at regional European Studies events. Fellows engage in lively academic discussion through a private blog and are given the opportunity to record a brief video highlighting their academic work. For the 2016 – 2017 academic year, the Society of Fellows has divided into two working group, ’Jews and Muslims: Histories, Diasporas, and the Meaning of the European,’ meeting at the John Hope Franklin Center for International Studies, and ‘Religions and Public Life in Global Europe,’ meeting at the Kenan Institute. The panel features current Fellows from across disciplines. This presentation is sponsored by the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies and the Council for European Studies.

Professor Dittmer will trace the outlines of Trump’s populism, power, and pugnacious foreign policy in the pages of Captain America comics. Captain America is a highly ambivalent text that proclaims liberal values even as the hero embodies a fundamentally illiberal American exceptionalism. As such, it provides resources from which President Trump can draw in his own political performance, while simultaneously offering a visual language of critique around which resistance can coalesce. In sum, the first part of the lecture will demonstrate that far from being an un-American threat to the Republic, Trump represents a recognizably American threat to the Republic. The second part of the lecture will pivot to demonstrate how the demise of the liberal consensus in the United States and the subsequent fragmentation of the mediascape has been reflected in the proliferation of Captain Americas over the last several decades, each articulating a different strand of Americanism. Collectively, these two stories help us to understand the election of Trump as the apotheosis of long-running narratives and processes at the heart of what it means to be an American. This presentation is sponsored by the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies and the Duke University Center for International and Global Studies.

Giovanni Zanalda is an Associate Research Professor at the Social Science Research Institute, Economics, and History and Director of the Duke Center for International Studies and Area International Studies. He is an economic historian specialized in financial history and history of development and globalization. The deepening of the Greek financial crisis has forced the inhabitants of some Greek cities and islands to use Alternative Local Currencies called TEM or Volos. In this talk we will show how the use of emergency money, which has a long history dating back to the time of the Peloponnesian Wars, has enabled economies to function under duress whether wars or financial crises. The talk will also cover issues related to the Greek debt crisis and the Eurozone. Zanalda’s lecture is presented by the John Hope Franklin Center and the Duke University Center for International Studies.

The ideological/propaganda challenge of the Islamic State is unique in terms of both message and propagation. Much hyperbole has gone into either exaggerating or minimizing this challenge for reasons sometimes only tangentially connected with the threat. Fernandez’s remarks place the potent ISIS narrative within the broader context of a deep crisis of authority in the Sunni Arab Muslim world, facilitated by regional events and amplified by historic, regional political-military shifts and an ongoing global revolution in the use of social media. Ambassador Alberto M. Fernandez is Vice-President of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) and board member of the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University. He retired in 2015 after 32 years in the U.S. Foreign Service with the rank of Minister-Counselor. Ambassador Fernandez served as Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassies in Khartoum, Sudan and Malabo, Equatorial Guinea and was Coordinator at the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC) from 2012 to 2015. He also served in senior public diplomacy positions in Afghanistan, Jordan, Guatemala, Syria, Kuwait, and in the State Department’s Near East Bureau (NEA) in Washington, D.C.
