Book excerpt: "This volume includes a wide range (research areas and topics) of papers, projects, proposals and case studies presented during the First Sudanese Diaspora International Conference, held in January 2009 in Brighton, United Kingdom.Sudan like much of the rest of the developing world has toyed with and abided by various approaches or strategies to transfer technology (TT) and achieve sustainable development (SD) without reaping any significant socio-economic benefits. The Sudanese diasporic community is relatively large and has a significant impact on Sudan development on account of the size and volume of financial remittances. However diasporic contribution is largely neglected within national science and technology policies and strategies. Adopting a more holistic approach, the conference aims to provide a stimulus for knowledge exchange and discussion that focuses on issues relating to the role of diaspora in TT and achieving SD to critically examine the relations and links between diaspora, Sudan and host countries, and attempts to outline policy and strategies to support the role of diaspora in developing, creating wealth and achieving SD in Sudan. The conference also aims to learn lessons from the successful communities across the world and emulate the ideas and innovations of these communities by Sudan.It is hoped that the ensemble of papers presented in this volume will help to stimulate debate amongst scholars, researchers and policymakers and that readers will find this volume interesting and thought-provoking. The seven main sections include: Diaspora Contribution to Home CountryTechnology and Scientific Knowledge TransferEducation, Training and DevelopmentMedical Sciences and Public HealthEngineering Applications and Sustainable Business ExcellenceEnvironment and Waste ManagementAbstracts for Oral Presentations"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis South Sudan Conflict by : Mabior David Atem
Download or read book South Sudan Conflict written by Mabior David Atem and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sudanese civil war, which lasted from 1983 to 2005, displaced millions of Sudanese worldwide. Most of those who were displaced were from what is now known as South Sudan. In 1995, massive resettlement programs began, bringing some South Sudanese to North America. As a result, a growing diaspora community emerged which actively contributes to and participates in the affairs of their home country. The study sought opinions from South Sudanese who were displaced during the 1983-2005 civil war. The study examines the role played by South Sudanese diaspora in Canada and the United States in the development efforts of South Sudan. It also analyses how this assistance affects peacebuilding and development in the country. More specifically, the study argues that South Sudanese in the diaspora contribute towards peace and the country's development efforts through resource remittances. In this research, the primary question is: How do the South Sudanese diaspora resource remittances affect peacebuilding and development? To answer the research question, look into the role of the South Sudanese diaspora in contributing to the country's socioeconomic development. The purpose of the research is to identify and document how resource remittances can enable the process of peacebuilding and development in a country that has experienced decades of protracted conflict. The study aims to establish the significance of resource remittances in fostering peacebuilding programs and development on an individual, communal, and national level. Documenting the role of South Sudanese diaspora resource remittances demonstrates the importance, mainly how resources are collected, channeled, and directed toward identified peacebuilding and development priorities. Undertaking research is an essential step in determining the contribution of remitted funds to relatives and friends. The study discovered that the diaspora contributes towards the country's development by remitting resources. Local peace initiatives and diaspora communities are contributing positively through collaborative projects in their respective communities. More importantly, resource remittances from the diaspora, assists relatives and friends. The study concluded that South Sudanese in the diaspora are well engaged with their country of origin by supporting relatives and friends through resource remittances. In addition, the study attested to the fact that resource remittances have a positive impact on South Sudanese socioeconomic development.

Book Synopsis The 13 Key Performance Indicators for Highly Effective Teams by : Allam Ahmed
Download or read book The 13 Key Performance Indicators for Highly Effective Teams written by Allam Ahmed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An organisation's most important asset is its people. And critical to an organisation's success is the extent to which its people interact effectively – both with each other as team members and with the wider organisation. This is why managing teams has become a key area for a growing number of organisations around the world. While many organisations are world-class at managing their materials and machinery, they fall short in managing the human side of their activities.This book outlines the challenges faced by both team leaders and team members in 21st-century workplaces. It proposes 13 key performance or "team health" indicators for highly effective teams based on research data collected from a large range of industry sectors, team sizes and organisations in the UK. It contributes to the understanding of the nature and functioning of team cohesiveness by describing teamwork as a multi-component variable and identifying the factors that impact on teams and the implications of teamwork for organisations.The book sets out to aid organisations by introducing a Team Performance Diagnostic (TPD) tool. The TPD enables organisations to gain an accurate and detailed insight into the real-time performance of their teams, helps team managers to understand the underlying 'people' issues within the team and how to reach higher levels of team performance quickly. The TPD has been widely used in major multinationals and the UK public sector to pinpoint hard-to-find opportunities to achieve rapid improvements.The research suggests that the use of TPD contributes to more free-flowing feedback both within the team and in the organisation as a whole, and that successful teams are indicative of a healthy organisational culture.This book is an essential guide for senior managers and policy-makers dealing with team effectiveness, and will be highly useful for students of business and management.
Download or read book Diasporas written by Kathleen Newland and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diasporas play an increasingly prominent role in discussions on foreign assistance and development policy. Governments of migrant-sending countries are working to attract both the talents and resources of emigrants and their descendants while governments of aid-sending countries hope to improve the outcomes of development assistance by engaging the talents and expertise of diasporas. Independently of governments, many diaspora groups or individuals recognize profitable opportunities in their homelands or contribute their time, talents, and resources to improving the quality of life there. This volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy. It is the result of research commissioned by the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Poverty Reduction, Diaspora Networks Alliance. Contributors include Roberto Munster, Hiroyuki Tanaka, Carlyanna Taylor, and Aaron Terrazas.

Book Synopsis Developing a Road Map for Engaging Diasporas in Development by : Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias
Download or read book Developing a Road Map for Engaging Diasporas in Development written by Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State governments recognize the value diaspora populations bring to development efforts worldwide. Since 2007, the Global Forum on Migration and Development has examined ways to highlight policies and programs that can magnify the resources, both human and financial, that emigrants and their descendants contribute to development. This handbook continues that effort on the basis of earlier investigations by the book's collaborating institutions, the academic and policy literature, consultations and in-depth interviews with government officials and nongovernmental actors, and input by 62 national governments. The handbook is divided into three major parts. Each part gives concrete examples of policies and programs that have been effective, and pulls out both useful lessons and common challenges associated with the topics at hand. The pivotal question now facing many policymakers is not so much if diasporas can benefit their countries of origin but how they do so and what kinds of government policies and programs can foster these relationships.
