An agenda for action - transitioning to a healthy sustainable food system in Latin America
Get PDFThe project global objective was “to develop an integrated evidence-based agenda for action for healthy and sustainable food systems in Latin America that will prioritize healthy affordable diets, while keeping GHGs emissions within sustainable limits.” This objective was split into two sub-objectives: 1) to review the evidence on how to accelerate the transition to food systems that prioritize access to healthy affordable diets, while keeping GHGs emissions within sustainable limits; and 2) to analyze the underlying political economy that may prevent or enable rapid action. Though the scope of the project is Chile, there was a permanent coordination and dialogue with teams in Argentina (CEDES) and Brazil (IDEC). Problems were analyzed with a national focus but keeping in mind that there are common factors, challenges and actors that are present in the three countries (and probably in the region)

Why COVID-19 recovery must be gender-responsive
Get PDFThis summary highlights key learning from research from the Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE) initiative focusing on the impact the pandemic is having across different vulnerable groups and how gender intersects and often exacerbates these effects. Supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), CORE brings together 21 projects to understand the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic, improve existing responses, and generate better policy options for recovery. The research is being led primarily by local researchers, universities, thinktanks and civil society organisations across 42 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East

Costs and benefits of community-based justice in Sierra Leone
Get PDFSustainable development goal 16.3 aims to “promote the rule of law at the national and international levels and ensure equal access to justice for all”. In 2012, Sierra Leone enacted a progressive legal aid law which established a mixed system of criminal and civil legal aid to be provided by a variety of players including paralegals, private and public lawyers, NGOs, and law clinics. By that law, the government committed to place at least one paralegal in each of the country’s 190 chiefdoms to provide legal advice, assistance, and education to the inhabitants. However, fiscal constraints mean that the government funded Legal Aid Board and NGOs delivering paralegal services cannot operate and deliver their services at scale. This research aims to contribute to the body of knowledge on approaches to expanding access to justice in Sierra Leone and globally in a cost-effective, strategic, and sustainable manner.Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA
