🚨 The UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic, Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) and the Harvard Center for International Development have launched the Morocco Innovation and Evaluation Lab (MEL) to foster development through rigorous and actionable research. 💡MEL began as the “Morocco Employment Lab” and, with support from Community Jameel, has been able to expand its focus to include education, social protection, agriculture, and the environment. Reflecting this evolution, it is now named the Morocco Innovation and Evaluation Lab. 🔗Click here to learn more about MEL: https://shorturl.at/BTSeh

Muhammad Ashar Khan, Dean's Fellow in Social Development and Policy at Habib University, presented his paper, "Chinese Offshore Investments, Local Economic Development, and Poverty," at the Path2Dev Conference hosted by LUMS. Khan’s paper estimates the impact of Chinese aid infrastructure on local economic development and poverty alleviation in developing countries using the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a case study. Through this paper, Ashar Khan is contributing to the global debate on China’s aid diplomacy in the global south in relation to other aids from multilateral donors such as the World Bank, especially amidst rising concerns of Chinese aid being a “debt trap”.

Fresh out of the press! Excited to share that I won the Call for Papers on the Analysis of International Relations of CIDOB (Barcelona Centre for International Affairs), reserved for researchers under 30 ✍️💡 "La Pobreza Mundial como Herramienta de Transformación de la Policrisis Global," can now be found in CIDOB International Yearbook 2025, in the section dedicated to the 'Age of Insecurity'. This short contribution provides a snapshot of the #GlobalPolycrisis, an overused yet misunderstood term. Starting from the network analysis of the #SDG framework discussed in my MSc Thesis on global disorder, I have addressed how global poverty can serve as a pivotal tool in mitigating interconnected crises. The paper has been translated in Spanish and Catalan by CIDOB, whereas the English version ("Coping with the Age of Insecurity: Leveraging the Global Polycrisis via Global Poverty") has been approved and registered by the EU Science, Research and Innovation (DG JRC) as part of my affiliation with E.6 (No. JRC139730). A special thank you to the CIDOB team for having included my take inside their Yearbook, which brings together forward-thinking voices from across the globe, tackling critical topics like global security, the rise of new geopolitical orders, and transformative pathways in this complex era. I'm proud to be part of this incredible initiative that bridges policy, research, and global dialogue. 🤝🌍 👉 Check out the full Yearbook here: https://lnkd.in/dU_ewdVW #CIDOBYearbook #PolicyResearch #PovertyEradication #ScienceForPolicy

The mission of the MIDDLE EASTERN KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY INSITITUTE (MEKEI) is to use research and education to help transform the countries of the Middle East and North Africa to advanced, knowledge-based societies led by sustainable innovation and social advance.

Picture this: An inspiring group of local leaders, from across East and Southern Africa, are working together to bring real, lasting change to their communities. This is the essence of the Consortium for Re-Imagining Humanitarian Action (CRHA)https://lnkd.in/dDf73yCn, where local organizations from Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somalia, and Mozambique join forces to lead a powerful localization movement. At the core of this mission? We are building quality partnerships. Our recent study, "Enhancing Localization Through Quality Partnerships," explored what local actors truly need to thrive in the humanitarian space. The key findings reveal that it all revolves around trust, equality, and flexibility. Local organizations emphasized the importance of moving away from short-term, one-size-fits-all funding and towards genuine, flexible support that enables them to address problems in real time. When international partners trust local knowledge and expertise, it transforms the entire dynamic. However, true partnership extends beyond trust; it requires shared decision-making power and allowing local organizations to lead in driving change. Imagine a future where local voices are not only heard but also trusted to lead. With the African Institute for Children Studies serving as the CRHA Secretariat, we are on a mission to make this vision a reality. Through advocacy, capacity building, and trust-based philanthropy, we are advocating for a humanitarian model rooted in local knowledge and genuine collaboration. It’s an ambitious plan, but with the right partnerships, anything is possible. Together, we are reimagining humanitarian action—one empowered community at a time. 💪 Save the Children US IGAD Humanitarian Leadership Academy #Localization #AICS #CRHA

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East/West Asia, encompassing nations such as Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, and Israel, has seen direct involvement from these states, while external powers like the United States, Russia, and China play significant roles in shaping the region's dynamics. In this context, it is imperative that seminars are held at the School of International Studies of a distinguished and internationally recognized institution, such as Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). India's stance under the Modi government remains ambiguous; at times, the administration appears to align with the USA-Israel axis, while on other occasions, it expresses support for Palestinian independence. This dual posture reflects the contradictory nature of the ruling feudal-bourgeois-led Modi government. Allegedly, under governmental pressure, JNU officials abruptly cancelled the seminars, which had been scheduled to feature addresses by the Iranian, Palestinian, and Lebanese ambassadors to India.
