Which Africa?
“a continent of opportunity— the last
emerging investment frontier”
Kofi Annan

Kofi Annan
Former Secretary General of
the UN

“ Real GDP [in Africa] grew by nearly 5%
annually between 2000 and 2008 – twice the
level of the previous two decades;
According to the African Development
Bank, 6 African countries are forecast to enjoy
growth this year above seven per cent; 15
countries above five per cent; and 27 countries
above three per cent;
Direct foreign investment has soared from
$9 billion in 2000 to $52 billion in 2011;
The IMF [predicts] the continent will have
as many as seven of the ten fastest-growing
economies in the world over the next decade.”

With more than 46 cities in Africa swelling to populations of a million people or more — and 17 of the world's 100 fastest-growing cities located in Africa — there is an acute need to develop housing solutions for so many urban residents. But raising the capital to meet that growing demand for housing remains a significant challenge. In 2013, the African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF) will host a conference under the theme "Raising Capital for Housing Finance.” The Africa-China Urban Initiative will organize a conference panel discussion on "Understanding (and harnessing) Chinese investment interest." Chinese investment in residential development in Africa is increasingly having an impact and demonstrating a track record of opportunity and experience. Panelists invited include Chinese investors setting out their experiences and expectations for the market and an African corporation that has received Chinese financing. http://urban-africa-china.angonet.org/content/29th-annual-conference-mobilising-capital-housing-finance

COMMON AFRICAN POSITION (CAP) ON THE POST- 2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA

AU Update Paper

Eric Beeler

Common african-position (cap)-april-2014

This was the slides for the workshop on Feminist Open Science presented at ELPUB2018 in Toronto. Notes for the session is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zr51nZ4VRjVNLixeRc_4SPa-liSALADLTbJ1RUJYcpo/edit "This workshop will centre on how current discourse around Open Science has tended to focus on the creation of new technological platforms and tools to facilitate sharing and reuse of a wide range of research outputs, but has largely avoided tackling many important issues related to inclusion of a diversity of perspectives in science. We believe a feminist perspective can help to surface these issues, particularly with regard to the need for inclusive infrastructure, which are especially important as Open Science increasingly becomes part of government agendas and policies. We expect that researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in Open Science will benefit from this workshop to think about issues of inclusivity in Open Science that are not receiving sufficient attention. We expect participants who attend this workshop will gain awareness about relevant resources and work that has been done by feminist technoscience scholars to expand the perspectives of Open Science. We hope that participants will take away new possibilities for their work that they may not have considered before. For policy makers, this workshop will be particularly relevant to help think about how evidence for Open Science should be assessed from a more feminist inclusive standpoint. The workshop will also present results from a two-day workshop on Feminist Open Science that will take place prior to the ELPUB workshop, with the intent of soliciting feedback and collaboration."

Open Access Advocacy: Failure and Successes

Aligning Open Access with the Social Justice Mission of Public University

Leveraging network of repositories to create changes in scholarly communication

Presentation at a public event at C asean, hosted by the National Innovation Agency of Thailand. This talk provides an overview of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network, its history, goals, research objectives and the network partners. In particular, it highlights the rationale behind the drafting of a set of principles underlying a vision of open science that has at its core a commitment to equitable participation in the production and circulation of scientific knowledge.

Why a Manifesto for Open Science?

Presentation at the Open Science panel at the launch of Steps Latina America. The talk attempts to situate the rational and objectives of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network within the broader landscape of discourse on "openness". While recognizing the potential benefits of openness, it is important to keep in mind the existing structural inequality in global scientific knowledge production and circulation and reflect on the needs to challenge this power asymmetry as a starting point for further understanding on how open science may contribute to development challenges.

From Open Access to Open Science: An Overview of Current Landscape; De Acceso...

Presentation at the Scholarly Communication Retreat, St. Michael's College, University of Toronto. Oct.6, 2015. This talk is a personal perspective on Open Access and what I see as the key impetus for engaging in open access practices. I highlight some recent innovations, both in terms of tools and modes of collaborative research enabled by OA. I also highlight recent developments in financial models in support of OA journal and monograph publishing.

Open Access, Journal, Institutional Repository and Beyond

The SDGs represent challenges in advancing the broad access to information agenda because of the divergent goals and proliferating targets and indicators. At the same time, the broadness of many of the goals presents opportunities for the agenda, particularly in the form of open access and open science, to embed itself at the core, thus allowing concrete actions and policies to be formulated in order to achieve tangible development outcomes. I will focus in particular on Goal 9 (“Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”) and argue that information and knowledge are essential infrastructure needed to build local research capacity which are in turn the foundation for sustainable development. The growing understanding of the importance of sharing methods and results throughout the research life cycle further demands the need for appropriate infrastructure. Examples of such infrastructure, such as data and publication repositories, already exist at some local level, but they are often fragmented and lack adequate resources. It is therefore important for FAO/IFLA/COAR to continue to advocate for the development of knowledge infrastructure and to ensure that policies are in place to support their long term sustainability.

Strengthening the Sustainable Development Goals with Open Access and Open S...

The talk identifies the impact of “world university rankings” on research and curriculum development, particularly for universities in the global South. It is argued that relevance of local research and community engagement are better indicators of ‘excellence’ in the university and we need to rethink assumptions behind "objective" indicators that are underlying most of the major world rankings. These rankings have the effect of rendering research from the developing world invisible and dictating curriculum development oriented towards market needs of the global North. Such rankings thus represent a form of social and cognitive exclusion and institution of higher education should strongly resist this agenda, and formulate other forms of "excellence" based on social inclusion and community engagement.

What is research metrics and do we need them?

What is Open Science and what role does it play in Development? The talk begins with a review of current understanding of open science and its alleged role in providing new opportunities for addressing long-standing development challenges. I then introduce the newly launched Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network, funded by IDRC Canada, and in collaboration with iHub Nairobi, Kenya. The rationale, funding modalities, and the short and long term objectives of the network will be discussed.

How to Give a Domain for a Field in Odoo 17

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
