Emerging Implications of Open and Linked Data for Knowledge Sharing in Development

Movements towards open data involve the publication of datasets (from metadata on publications, to research, to operational project statistics) online in standard formats and without restrictions on reuse. A number of open datasets are published as linked data, creating a web of connected datasets. Governments, companies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) across the world are increasingly exploring how the publication and use of open and linked data can have impacts on governance, economic growth and the delivery of services.

Early Childhood Care and Education in Peru: Evidence from Young Lives

Early childhood care and education (ECCE) programmes are increasingly recognised as being important in achieving a number of social, cultural and economic goals which are vital in the fight against poverty. Significant investments in ECCE have been made across Latin America, and the Peruvian government is committed to increasing and improving existing services. Research from Young Lives in Peru finds that four out of five boys and girls among a sample of nearly 2,000 children accessed early education between the ages of 3 and 6. But it also shows that access is unequal.

Changing Lives in a Changing World

This is the second book charting the lives and the aspirations of 24 of these children from the Young Lives study. The first was called: “Nothing is impossible for me”: Stories from Young Lives Children. The same children now give us a unique insight into how their lives are changing as they are growing up. They reveal what they think it means to be poor or rich, how they see their families, friends and communities, the importance of education, what is different between their generation and previous one, and their dreams for the future.

Selection and Induction of Supervisors for Fieldwork: Experiences from Young Lives in Peru

The household and child survey that lies at the heart of Young Lives study is carried out every three years by a dedicated team of fieldworkers working alongside each country;s lead researcher. The field teams are responsible for locating the families, maintaining their interest and willingness to participate over the entire 15 years of the study, and collecting the large amount of information that is the basis of the research.

"The Future We Want": Learning from Children’s Experiences of Sustainable Development

Children bear much of the brunt of the human impacts of environmental shocks and climate change, not only on account of their age and stage of development, but because more children live in poverty than do other age groups. Unpredictable and extreme weather, such as droughts and floods, rising pollution levels, poor access to sanitation and other public services, combined with global economic instability, are undermining children?s healthy development and reinforcing the poverty cycle.

Resilience and Well-being among Urban Ethiopian Children

Many researchers working with children in materially poor communities in Ethiopia have observed that they report high levels of well-being, for example, they are happy and satisfied with their lives. This is taken as an example of resilience, or what may be defined as the capacity to bounce back from adverse experiences. While many Euro-American studies attribute resilience to individual competencies such as self-confidence, in the context of Ethiopia and other developing countriessocial competencies may be more important.

The Impact of Social Protection Programmes on Child Labour and Education in Ethiopia

The study investigates the impact of participation in Social Protection Programmes on child labour and education in Ethiopia, the largest social protection program in Sub-Saharan Africa outside of South Africa, Specifically PSNP and Pension. Social Protection programmes are recently widely recognized in developing countries as main means to tackle poverty, reduce vulnerability and to smooth consumption of households. It is very important to assess intra-households impact of the programmes. Most of the previous studies assess the explicitly objective of the programs.
