Artificial intelligence for economic policymaking : the frontier of Africa’s economic transformation
Full text linkFrench version available in IDRC Digital Library : Intelligence artificielle au service du processus d’élaboration des politiques : la frontière de la transformation économique de l’AfriqueThis report was designed to assess the viability of using artificial intelligence (AI) to inform inclusive and sustainable economic, financial, and industrial policies in Africa and to help identify where traditional and non-traditional data exists and where there are gaps. It was also written with the objective of establishing the basis for future work on how to fill gaps and develop an approach for designing and implementing a research initiative based on well-designed models for economic transformation. Secondarily, it was designed to better understand the interests of national stakeholders and international development partners on this important topic. The research was conducted through a combination of desk analysis, key informant interviews and stakeholder workshops.Artificial Intelligence for Development in Africa programSwedish International Development Cooperation Agenc
Gender pay gap during life cycle in the STEM labor market
Full text linkThis paper documents the dynamics of the gender gap over time and over the life cycle in STEM occupations in Brazil. Using a matched employer-employee data on the Brazilian formal labor market and a novel classification of occupations, we compare the STEM and non-STEM gender gaps in the formal labor market. We establish four results. First, we document that, while the ratio of women to men among workers is stable in the formal labor market as a whole, it increases in STEM. This is consistent with an increase in the intensive margin of labor supply of women in STEM occupations. Second, we find that the likelihood of STEM workers continuing employed in the formal sector in the following years is higher than the likelihood of the typical formal worker. Nevertheless, the likelihood of holding a STEM job is smaller, in particular for women. Third, we estimate that that occupational controls and firms’ characteristics explain each around 35% of the gender pay gap in STEM occupations, more than in the rest of the formal labor market. Fourth, we show that the gender pay gap in STEM is decreasing over generations, a pattern similar to the one found in the rest of the formal labor market

TPD at scale compendium
Full text linkThis Compendium is a knowledge product resulting from the activities of the TPD@Scale Coalition for the Global South. It offers examples of large-scale or potentially scalable information and communications technology (ICT)-mediated teacher professional development (TPD) programs across low- and middle-income countries. The Compendium describes the key features of each TPD program, their contexts, the needs they seek to meet, how ICT is deployed, and whether and how they strive for equity in making available meaningful professional learning experiences for all teachers
Tanzania’s post-COVID-19 recovery strategy and the NDC
Full text linkThe current discourse on climate change and COVID-19 recovery underlines the need for an integrated response to the two issues. In Tanzania, the COVID-19 response has provided for interventions that will also enhance the country’s resilience to climate change. There is thus space for cultivating partnerships that can facilitate building back better from the pandemic while addressing climate change. Exploring such opportunities and strengthening domestic, regional, and international partnerships and collaboration are vital for the Tanzanian government
GrOW East Africa mid-term workshop report : Nairobi, Kenya - October 3-6, 2022
Full text linkOn October 3-6, IDRC and PEP co-hosted the mid-term workshop of the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) East Africa initiative in Nairobi, Kenya. With a focus on Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, multi-disciplinary teams of researchers are testing solutions that promote gender equality and women’s economic empowerment (WEE) at work, at home and beyond. The program fosters novel in-country knowledge, innovations and solutions developed in partnerships with in-country practitioners, governments, and researchers, on policies and programs addressing unpaid care, labour market segregation, and women’s empowerment. The core objective of this mid-term workshop was to provide an opportunity for GrOW East Africa researchers to share results, get feedback on their research and early results, engage policymakers, build and strengthen the women’s economic empowerment community, and strengthen the grantees’ capacity in communication and research uptake.Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationWilliam and Flora Hewlett Foundatio
