Improving competences of engineering graduates through student industrial secondments : a study in East Africa
Get PDFRelative shortage of engineering practitioners in sub-Saharan Africa has been reported as a major concern in many studies on industrial and technological development of the region. However, the region simultaneously records a significant number of existing engineering graduates who find it difficult to find employment in engineering fields. While that situation reflects the inability to absorb human capital in industrial processes, it can also be partly explained by a relative deficit (real or perceived) in the competency of local engineering graduates in the ever-advancing areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and/or a scarcity in opportunities to hone and demonstrate competency of local engineering graduates in the labour market. Consequently, local engineering graduates have inadequate hands-on experience needed in industries as well as for establishing start-up engineering firms/businesses. To address this situation, it was postulated that promoting engineering student industrial secondment (SIS) programmes can be a suitable approach to strengthening the linkages between engineering education, practice and employability

Moving towards successful teacher professional development in the Global South
Get PDFThis briefing note brings together current understanding about the characteristics that have the greatest potential to positively impact teacher behaviors and ultimately learner outcomes. More established, rigorous research from high- or medium-income contexts provides a fruitful starting point for this discussion, such as the principles identified in Darling-Hammond et al. (2017). Such insights will be contextualized to examine the interrelation between the macro, meso, and micro contexts typical to the Global South

Socioterritorial voices for climate justice : protest and resistance in the Andean Amazon
No full textThis paper forms part of the volume Reimagining the Human-Environment Relationship for Stockholm+50. This curated collection of ideas captures, interrogates, and elevates alternative paradigms of the human-nature relationship – existing and new, and from various disciplines and societies – creating a space to recast our relationship with the environment and inform future policymaking
From research and policymaking to political decisions and implementation : an insider’s account
Get PDFThe final report of the project contrasts the advances in policy-oriented research during the last decade, proposes a conceptual framework to examine the ways in which knowledge informs political decisions and public policy design and implementation. It uses the experience of the Transition and Emergency Government of Peru, which was led by President Francisco Sagasti, the project leader and main author of the final technical report, in which Giaccomo Ugarelli (former Chief of Staff of the President) and Lucía Málaga (former Presidential Advisor) participated actively and are coauthors. The first part of the final report (six chapters) provides all the relevant information to examine several case-studies of political decisions and public policymaking, which are covered in chapters 7-11. Issues treated in the last five chapters of the report include the purchase of vaccines against the Covid-19 virus, the organization of the vaccination process, the general elections of 2021, conflicts, and disagreements in the exercise of political power, and opportunities and constraints in economic and social policymaking. A concluding section examines some of the implications of the research carried out
