Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Engines of Growth in Fragile Contexts: Launching the IFPRI–UNU-WIDER research partnership Organized by IFPRI and United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) June 10, 2026 Fragile and conflict-affected settings account for a growing share of global poverty. Roughly 2 billion people live in these areas, accounting for 25% of the world's population but 72% of the world's extreme poor. At the national level, many fragile economies struggle to sustain growth, create jobs, and recover from repeated shocks. Yet even amid conflict, climate stress, and political instability, some communities continue to adapt, work, trade, and invest. For these “islands of resilience,” local livelihoods, skills, trust, and collective action support local economic activity that connects to broader growth trajectories. Understanding these dynamics can help identify how strategic support can strengthen resilience, recovery, and livelihoods in at-risk economies. Join us for this event marking the launch of the IFPRI–UNU-WIDER research partnership, which will work with local partners to generate evidence on the engines of growth that sustain economic activity amid fragility. This seminar will bring together researchers, donors, policy stakeholders, and implementation partners to discuss why some local economies remain resilient under stress, what evidence is needed to guide investment and programming, and how policy can support locally grounded pathways to economic recovery. This event was supported by the CGIAR Food Frontiers and Security Program. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by CGIAR funders through the CGIAR Trust Fund.

Comment encourager la diffusion des connaissances et des usages des mathématiques ? Échange entre une mathématicienne sénégalaise engagée et un professeur de maths passionné. Pourquoi les mathématiques ne sont pas réservées à quelques initiés, mais gagnent à être partagées par tous ? Changeons de regard et de perspective sur les mathématiques. Pourquoi tant de haine pour cette discipline qui est d'abord et avant tout une manière de regarder le monde, bien plus universelle, mais aussi poétique et ludique, qu'on ne l'imagine ? Si, comme le pensait Galilée : « le monde est écrit en langage mathématique », il est d'autant plus essentiel aujourd'hui, où les maths sont partout à l'œuvre dans nos sociétés numériques, de partager ces savoirs et de favoriser la libre circulation des idées et des applications, mais aussi des chercheurs et des chercheuses qui les développent de toutes les manières possibles sur tous les continents... Avec - Yan Pradeau (professeur de maths au Lycée Arago à Paris) pour son livre Les maths sont un tango à trois temps, paru chez Flammarion - Sophie Dabo-Niang, professeure de mathématiques appliquées à l'Université de Lille et chercheuse au Centre Inria de Lille pour le projet de coopération CNRS-Afrique, avec le lancement du Joint research Programmes en mathématiques.

Did you know... it is a common misconception that it is harder for women to build muscle than it is for men? That's according to a physiology specialist at the University of Leicester, who claims men and women can follow the same resistance training principles and expect comparable progress. But is that true? Anton Savage was joined by Gillian Hynes, Fitness Expert and Personal Trainer to discuss.

This episode offers a grounded lens on where the idea comes from, why it can be spiritually misleading, and how a deeper understanding of soul development can bring you back to compassion rather than judgement.This episode meets a controversial topic with care and clarity. Suzie explores why the “NPC” idea keeps resurfacing, where it is commonly sourced from, and why she does not believe it applies to humans, especially when you understand soul development more deeply. Ultimately, the invitation is simple: move from judgement into discernment, and practise seeing the divinity in people, even when they seem miles away from your worldview.In this episode, you'll learnThe difference between discussions about non-physical “soulless beings” and the claim that there are “soulless humans”Why the “NPC” idea often shows up through misunderstandings of esoteric concepts like soul evolution and levels of consciousnessHow spiritual ego can hide inside judgement, especially when we decide others are “less evolved”Why dehumanising language is spiritually dangerous, and how it moves you away from truth, divinity, and unityA more grounded reframe: people may be at different stages of soul development, without being “soulless”Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Dans ce nouvel épisode d'Horizon PhD, on plonge dans le monde de l'entrepreneuriat scientifique au Québec avec Marie-Pierre Cossette, directrice au Grand Défi de société du Fonds de recherche du Québec, et Marine Queffelou, cofondatrice et présidente de Calego Solutions. Ensemble, elles et il montrent qu'il existe mille façons de transformer un parcours scientifique en projet d'impact. Marine partage son chemin, de la microbiologie en France jusqu'à la création d'une entreprise en technologie avancée au Québec. Elle raconte comment un intérêt pour la recherche, les collaborations et les occasions de formation l'ont amenée à découvrir un terrain qu'elle n'imaginait pas au départ : celui de l'innovation scientifique et de l'entrepreneuriat. De son côté, Marie-Pierre explique comment le Fonds de recherche du Québec soutient des parcours qui permettent d'aller plus loin avec une idée, une expertise ou une technologie. L'épisode met en lumière plusieurs programmes d'accompagnement qui aident les scientifiques à explorer, tester et structurer un projet entrepreneurial, à différentes étapes de maturité. On y parle aussi de compétences transférables : gestion de projet, communication, validation d'hypothèses, réseautage, résolution de problèmes et capacité à naviguer l'incertitude. L'épisode casse au passage plusieurs stéréotypes sur l'entrepreneur ou l'entrepreneure scientifique, en montrant qu'il n'existe pas un seul profil, mais une grande diversité de parcours et de rythmes. Enfin, l'épisode rappelle que l'entrepreneuriat scientifique ne se fait pas seul. Il repose sur un écosystème de mentors, d'incubateurs, de formations, de cohortes et de programmes comme QcES, Lab au marché et CESI, qui peuvent aider les chercheurs, chercheuses et diplômé·e·s à passer de l'idée au projet concret.

As part of Canon's ongoing commitment to delivering meaningful social value within communities across Ireland, we were proud to bring the Canon Young People Programme (CYPP) to Rosmini Community School, soon to be renamed Grace Park Community School, during the World Unseen Ireland exhibition. Based in the heart of Drumcondra, Rosmini is a co-educational, multi-denominational post-primary school known for its deeply inclusive ethos, as well as its dedicated specialist classes supporting students with visual impairments – making it a particularly powerful setting for an accessibility-driven creative initiative. Led by Canon Ambassador and award-winning visual storyteller Elisa Iannacone, the workshop invited fifteen first-year students to explore hands-on photography and creative storytelling. Using tactile, coral-inspired props designed to engage the senses, students worked with Canon EOS R100 and R50 cameras to capture imagery inspired by UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water. Young People Programme inspires storytelling in Dublin Rosmini Community School's mission places strong emphasis on nurturing the physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual and aesthetic development of every student within a caring and respectful environment. This inclusive vision, coupled with its Department of Education-approved specialist classes for students with visual impairments, ensures learners can access the mainstream curriculum with tailored support and celebrates the intrinsic value of each individual – making it the perfect fit for Canon's hands-on storytelling workshop. Margaret Keenan, Head of the Art department at Rosmini Community School, said: "At Rosmini, we believe that every young person should have the opportunity to explore creativity in ways that feel accessible and empowering. What made this workshop particularly special was watching our students – especially those with visual impairments, connect with the cameras and lenses through touch. It allowed them to experience photography not just as a visual art form, but as something tactile, intuitive and full of possibility. Collaborations like this highlight the power of inclusive arts education and the importance of giving all students the space to shine." Canon's Coral campaign, which aligns with SDG 14, highlights the fragility of marine ecosystems and the urgent need to protect global biodiversity. As part of the experience, the students had the unique opportunity to visit Canon's World Unseen exhibition at Photo Museum Ireland, where they gained a deeper, sensory-led understanding of the plight of coral and the wider challenges facing our oceans. Building on this insight, the workshop invited them to become part of Canon's most recent exhibition journey – showcasing how the arts and visual storytelling can be made accessible to all. Through guided exploration and hands-on experimentation, the students discovered how photography can spotlight critical issues like ocean health and sustainability, especially when delivered in a way that supports inclusive and creative expression. Elisa Iannacone, Canon Ambassador, said: "Working with the students at Rosmini Community School was deeply inspiring. Their willingness to explore texture, light and storytelling in their own unique ways demonstrates the universal power of creativity. When young people are given accessible tools and an environment that celebrates their individuality, they produce work that is honest, imaginative and full of meaning. Programmes like CYPP don't just teach photography – they nurture confidence, curiosity and a deeper connection to the world around us." Adam Pensotti, Head of Canon Young People Programme at Canon EMEA added: "This session reaffirmed why accessibility, education and social impact remain core pillars of Canon's purpose. Creating opportunities for young people to build confidence, develop new skills and express themselves through visual storytelling is central to the Cano...

In this episode, you'll learn how consciousness expands through self-awareness, compassionate self-observation, and choosing what genuinely supports your mind, body, and energy field.Suzie explains how programming and conditioning, from ancestry, society, and lived experience, shape the lens you see life through, and how spiritual development is the gradual unpicking of what is no longer true for you. She shares seven grounded tips to help you understand your unique body, your patterns of consumption, your creativity, and the balance between active, passive, and neutral time, so you can return to a more expansive, connected state.In this episode, you'll learnWhy raising your vibration is often about releasing conditioning, not collecting more “spiritual to-dos”How to read your body's signals so your food, movement, and daily choices support you (not somebody else's rules)How to work with consumption beyond diet, including information, media, and relationships, so your system stays steadyWhy creativity is a direct pathway back to divinity, and how to find a creative practice that actually fits your lifeHow to spot imbalance in active, passive, and neutral time, and adjust your rhythm in a way that feels sustainableFollow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Nearly nine in ten (89%) Irish SME leaders already use AI tools at work, saving them an average of 5.3 hours per week to reinvest that time in improving products and services (37%), planning (30%) and managing staff (28%). Commissioned by OpenAI for its first European SME AI Accelerator in Dublin today, the Opinium survey of 200 Irish SME leaders found that almost half (48%) use AI tools regularly, with over a third (38%) of users using them daily. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of Irish SMEs use ChatGPT, followed by Gemini (38%), Copilot (34%) and Claude (16%). SMEs use AI for everyday tasks like emails, admin and marketing, but use is broadening, with around a quarter using it for more complex tasks such as research (28%) and coding (24%). Advanced use cases are emerging, with around four in ten AI users (43%) automating tasks, while under one in three (29%) are using AI agents (advanced tools that can act autonomously). However, SMEs cited several challenges to unlocking AI's full potential, including data privacy and security concerns (32%), lack of training and education (31%) and the cost of tools and talent (23%). Over a third (37%) of SMEs have no formal AI policy in place. Nearly three in ten (27%) SME leaders say they are not confident in their ability to use AI effectively, and those lacking confidence are significantly less likely to adopt new use cases. This is despite almost two-thirds (63%) indicating they are likely to implement at least one new way of using AI tools in the next 90 days. Welcoming today's SME AI Accelerator, Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, Niamh Smyth T.D. said: "AI can significantly improve productivity and strengthen the competitiveness of Ireland's SME sector. As we work toward the goals outlined in the recently published National Digital and AI Strategy, accelerating the uptake of digital and AI solutions across businesses is a key focus. Programmes like this play an important role in making sure companies of all sizes gain the skills and confidence they need to adopt AI quickly and effectively. This will help increase their competitiveness, boost productivity, and contribute to long?term, sustainable economic growth." Emma Redmond, Head of OpenAI Ireland, said: "The opportunity now is to close the gap between using AI to be efficient and using it to transform. That means upskilling SMEs with the tools and structures to confidently turn everyday usage into real results and ultimately revenue." Co-sponsored by OpenAI and Booking.com, in partnership with Retail Excellence Ireland, The Innovation Exchange and Dogpatch Labs, the AI Accelerator in Dublin sees over 120 SMEs experience hands-on AI training and advice from OpenAI Academy experts, on topics from increasing sales to managing operations. They learn how to design simple, business-ready ChatGPT workflows, especially around content generation, customer engagement, operations and even experience some light automation. Afterwards, SMEs anywhere in Ireland will have free access to the resources, 'how-to' guides and explainer videos on the OpenAI Academy online.

Épisode 1454 : Le phénomène touche autant les marques grand public que les créateurs, avec un glissement progressif du “community management” vers une véritable logique de club, d'adhésion et d'appartenance.-Quand le social media devient un membership : clubs, communautés, programmes ambassadeursPendant longtemps, les réseaux sociaux ont joué le rôle de mégaphone pour les marques. On y diffuse des messages, on cherche du reach, on calcule des impressions. Mais en 2026, un certain nombre stratégies se déplacent vers autre chose : une logique de membership, où l'utilisateur ne se contente plus de suivre, il adhère, participe et s'identifie.Le social media devient ainsi un réseau d'appartenance. —Du like au lien : la mutation des réseaux sociauxLes plateformes elles-mêmes encouragent cette évolution.Meta pousse les Broadcast Channels et les Close Friends sur Instagram. TikTok teste les Fan Clubs, une nouvelle fonctionnalité communautaire intégrée à TikTok Live. Twitch fonctionne depuis longtemps déjà avec des abonnements.YouTube développe ses Memberships payants. Partout, la logique glisse du flux public vers le cercle privé.—Le retour du club au coeur des tendancesOn assiste à un retour assumé du club : un espace délimité, avec un code d'entrée, des avantages et un sentiment d'« être à part ».Les book club, les cinema club, le snail mail club.Cette logique bénéficie autant aux marques qu'aux créateurs :Pour les marques, c'est une manière de transformer leur audience sociale en véritable base de membres : newsletters premium, canaux dédiés, communautés d'intérêt, programmes ambassadeurs, accès anticipés, récompenses.Pour les créateurs, c'est un levier de monétisation directe : abonnements privés, espaces Discord, contenus exclusifs.Le succès des clubs des communautés de marqueUne communauté de marque est un dispositif d'échanges, mis en place et géré par une entreprise, qui rassemble des clients et des collaborateurs de cette entreprise. Parmi les pionniers de la communauté de marque on pense forcément à Tupperware mais aussi à Michel et Augustin. Il y a 10 ans, c'était la référence absolue. La marque a longtemps cultivé une “tribu” très active : portes ouvertes, invitations à la Bananeraie, dégustations, programmes ambassadeurs informels, mobilisation très forte via les réseaux sociaux.-La communauté de marque est un outil de fidélisation clientSoyons clair, la communauté de marque est un outil de fidélisation client. Cela permet au client d'être en contact privilégié avec la marque, et offrent une valeur additionnelle claire (de l'exclusivité et de la reconnaissance).C'est par exemple ce que fait très bien la marque Circle. C'est une marque de sportswear qui propose aussi d'adhérer à son running club à Annecy ou à Paris. —Le rôle des ambassadeurs : moteur du membership organiqueLes programmes ambassadeurs incarnent cette idée de membership.Plutôt que de compter sur la publicité ou les influenceurs ponctuels, les marques misent sur des membres engagés qui deviennent relais du message.Ces membres co-construisent la marque, souvent dans une logique win-win de reconnaissance, d'accès privilégié et de valorisation sociale.Un bon exemple du côté du programme ambassadeur de Oh My Cream.Si tu participes tu as accès à des produits en avant première, tu participes à des focus group , tu t'e,agges à faire des feedbacks sur les produits. La communauté d'ambassadeur est animée via un Groupe WhatsApp.…Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com ! Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

Social entrepreneurs supported by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland are up to 50 per cent more likely to succeed than those without our backing. That's according to Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, as it opens its Ideas Academy and Impact Programme for applications. Since 2004, the not-for-profit has supported over 630 social entrepreneurs across the country who are driving solutions in areas such as mental health, housing, the environment and education. Speaking at the launch of this year's programme, which remains open until 20th April, Director of Development at Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, Michelle Noone, said: "We know the impact that our programmes have on people and communities across the country, and in 2025, an independently verified report demonstrated how Social Entrepreneurs Ireland contributes to the success and growth of social enterprises across Ireland, with employment, sales, and future funding increased by up to 50 per cent and innovation boosted by up to 80 per cent. "There is a wealth of incredible ideas out there, and we encourage budding social entrepreneurs and those with more established solutions to social issues to apply for our Ideas Academy and Social Impact programmes, to bring their concepts to the next level." The Ideas Academy is a three-month programme designed to provide budding social entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools needed to move from a concept to a tangible pilot. The Impact Programme is a nine-month programme that supports experienced social entrepreneurs to scale up tried-and-tested solutions to tackle Ireland's biggest social challenges. Programme participants receive mentorship and peer support. Impact Programme alumnus and internationally recognised designer, Kim Mackenzie-Doyle, founded The B!G Idea to prepare young people for the fastest-changing world in history. The free all-Ireland programme bridges classrooms and industry, equipping thousands of students with creative problem-solving skills, mentors, and confidence to turn their challenges into opportunities, shaping their futures and those of society. Carlow-based Mackenzie-Doyle said: "With The B!G Idea, I saw an opportunity to support young people right now, while fostering and developing the next generation of social entrepreneurs in the longer term. "Social Entrepreneurs Ireland has been invaluable in developing The B!G Idea, from the tailored mentoring, expert training and financial support received from the Impact Programme in 2022, through to my current participation in another Social Entrepreneurs Ireland programme. "Anyone who has a vision and can demonstrate the impact of their idea should consider applying for The Impact Programme." Social Entrepreneurs Ireland has partnered with energy company DCC plc since 2011. Since the partnership began, Social Entrepreneurs Ireland has received over 3,500 applications from all across Ireland. Donal Murphy, Chief Executive Officer at DCC plc, said "DCC plc is proud to support Social Entrepreneurs Ireland again in 2026. Over 660 social entrepreneurs have been directly supported over the duration of the partnership. In addition, Social Entrepreneurs Ireland alumni have created 463 jobs and generated €39.8m in income, so we know that this partnership works! "We look forward to helping this year's successful applicants to develop and refine their ideas to affect positive change across Irish society." Social Entrepreneurs Ireland will hold information sessions for interested individuals and organisations on 31st March.

The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
What if a university degree did not require stepping away from work, taking on significant debt, or leaving one's community? What if the workplace itself became the campus? Joe Ross, President of Reach University, joins us to share his insight. This episode explores a different model of higher education that seeks to turn jobs into degrees rather than degrees into jobs. The approach centres on apprenticeship degrees, where learners earn an accredited university qualification while working full time. Half of the learning takes place on the job, while the other half occurs through structured academic instruction designed specifically for working adults. The result is a pathway that combines higher education, workforce development, and economic mobility. At the heart of the model is a simple framework described as the “A, B, C” of apprenticeship degrees. A stands for affordability. Programmes are intentionally designed so that learners do not accumulate student debt. Participants contribute a modest amount, but the cost is kept low enough that it does not become a barrier. B stands for being based in the workplace. Learners begin with a paid job and remain employed throughout their studies. The workplace becomes the learning environment, with colleagues functioning as classmates and mentors. C stands for credit for learning at work. On the job experience, mentorship, observation, and practical tasks form part of the academic journey and translate directly into university credit. Despite the strong workplace component, the degrees themselves remain academic. Students earn traditional qualifications such as a Bachelor of Arts or Associate of Arts. The curriculum integrates liberal arts thinking with practical experience, encouraging critical reasoning, creativity, and intellectual curiosity within the context of real work. This approach challenges the idea that vocational learning and higher education must exist separately. Instead, it combines both. Early adoption has focused on fields facing severe workforce shortages. In education, for example, many schools struggle to recruit qualified teachers. At the same time, schools employ large numbers of support staff who know their communities well but lack the degrees required to advance. By transforming their current roles into a pathway to a degree, classroom aides, library staff, or after school programme workers can train to become fully qualified teachers without leaving their jobs or communities. The same logic is now emerging in healthcare. Patient care assistants can progress step by step into roles such as certified nursing assistants, registered nurses, and beyond. The model enables employers to build talent from within while offering employees a clear route to professional careers. The outcomes are promising. Many graduates move directly into the roles they trained for, with a large share seeing their salaries double or even triple. Completion rates also exceed typical national averages for learners from similar economic backgrounds. Beyond individual success stories, the ambition is broader. If workplaces become learning environments and degrees can be earned through employment, every community could effectively host its own pathway to higher education. Finally, the discussion touches on the future of education in an age shaped by artificial intelligence. Rather than making higher education obsolete, the argument here is that AI increases the importance of human capabilities such as critical thinking, creativity, and judgement. Those qualities, long associated with the liberal arts, remain essential. If the challenge of the future is learning how humans and intelligent machines work together, then education that develops adaptable, thoughtful, and creative people may matter more than ever. This episode offers a glimpse of a higher education model that seeks to expand opportunity, strengthen local workforces, and make the pursuit of a degree possible for people who might otherwise never have the chance.

House of Meroe returns with a powerful discussion examining 10 of the most damaging programs imposed on primordial people throughout history. This episode explores how political systems, social engineering, economic control, cultural erasure, and psychological conditioning have shaped — and in many cases harmed — ancient and indigenous populations over time.Drawing from historical analysis, cultural critique, and lived experience, the conversation challenges mainstream narratives and encourages listeners to question how modern systems continue to impact identity, sovereignty, and self-determination today.Originally aired on BlogTalkRadio, this episode is preserved here for education, reflection, and open discussion.Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below...SPONSORED BY https://www.instagram.com/supremeoftheuk/?hl=enORDER https://www.thehatman.com/product-category/clothing/supreme-of-the-uk/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacevzCe-rFKZU3iPH0qYqxU7f__v0yznTpLkO6k9u-gHIxI4oQ9JfyhlttATQ_aem_NJT_3YtGSSu7wm6TraEYJghttps://www.instagram.com/cfr_news/https://rumble.com/user/CFRNetworkhttps://x.com/CFRNetwork_https://twitter.com/CFRNetwork__
