SUMMARY:4TH World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress Series Asia Pacific | North America | Europe | Latin America & The Caribbean | Africa
DESCRIPTION:Gender Norms\, Women’s Executive Function\, and Anti-Poverty Programs: Experimental Evidence from India\nThe congress theme for the 4WSFC AFRICA\, ‘Leading by Examples: Leaderships for Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries\,’ recognizes the many examples\, lessons and experiences that individual\, communities\, governments\, inter-governmental organizations\, and other supporting institutions have in the efforts to build and enhance capacity for sustainable small-scale fisheries. The focus on “leaderships” is a tribute to the immense progress that has been made in the past decade by all sectors\, in elevating the profile of small-scale fisheries and in advancing understanding about them. It is also meant to inspire more actions and collaboration to continue to promote and support small-scale fisheries. \nWhile many of the challenges facing small-scale fisheries in Africa are common in other regions\, some are unique\, requiring innovative solutions at local\, national and regional levels. In addition to exchanging knowledge and lessons about what works well and what needs further consideration in securing sustainable future for small-scale fisheries in Africa\, the congress offers a platform for deliberation about how to integrate small-scale fisheries in the discussion about Blue Economy\, keeping in mind principles such as social justice\, gender equity and others promoted in the SSF Guidelines. \nThrough interactive sessions and discussion\, and with an aim to strengthen existing collaboration and build new partnership\, the 4WSFC Africa congress will be organized around six main topics\, to demonstrate how existing and potential leaderships in small-scale fisheries can lead to better mutual outcomes. \nLeaders in ACTION RESEARCH\nLeaders in BLUE JUSTICE\nLeaders in BUSINESS & SOCIAL INNOVATION\nLeaders in CLIMATE-FRIENDLY FOOD SYSTEM\nLeaders in COMMUNITY-BASED CONSERVATION\nLeaders in GENDER EQUITY\nWe invite participation from fishers and fishing communities\, industry\, government and intergovernmental organizations\, financial institutions\, civil society\, and academia\, interested in small-scale fisheries sustainability in Africa. We encourage delegates from around the continent\, as well as some international researchers working in Africa\, to join the congress ‘in-person’ in Cape Town. While we anticipate having about 150 ‘in-person’ participants\, we will extend an invitation to delegates who wish to join virtually through the congress live-streaming platform. \nThe 4WSFC AFRICA is co-hosted by the Institute of Poverty\, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS)\, University of Western Cape\, South Africa\, in partnership with TBTI Global and with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. We welcome organizations interested in supporting sustainable small-scale fisheries to join as partners to this initiative and help contribute to the development of the congress program and to support the participation of delegates. \nAbstracts for individual papers or organized sessions (about 250 words) are accepted until June 15\, 2022. \nSubmit Individual Abstract\n  \nSubmit Session Proposal\n  \n\n4WSFC Africa\n\n\nNovember 21 – 23\, 2022 \nCape Town\, South Africa \nREAD MORE FROM SOURCE : https://www.4wsfcongress.com/africa-november-2022

SUMMARY:Conference 2023 (November 22-25)
DESCRIPTION:Conference of the African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE) 22-25 November 2023\nKenya School of Monetary Studies\, Nairobi \n  \nBackground \nThe Second (2nd) Conference of the African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE) will be held from 22-25 November 2023 at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies\, Nairobi\, Kenya. \nTheme \nJust Energy Transition in Africa.\nAll forces need to be mobilized as the time to fulfill the pledges made in the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030 is slowly passing away before a catastrophic calamity strikes humanity. It is urgent to secure a continent-wide\, inclusive green transformation\, with a focus on a low-carbon transition and gender equity. Never in human history has there been a need for such a quick and comprehensive set of social alterations\, which is also a knowledge-intensive process. This means that to accelerate positive change\, existing capability and expertise must be fully exploited. Energy transition becomes an important theme in the context of Africa given their differential impacts\, lack of preparedness and vulnerability of African economies to such transitions. \nSubmission Guideline and Rules \nYou are invited to submit theoretical\, empirical and policy papers dealing with the socioeconomic and environmental implications of energy transitions and policy trade-offs in Africa. Papers could address any or combination of the following topics:\n Modeling and understanding energy transition risks.\n The role of property rights in a just energy transition.\n The role of national and corporate governance in the transition towards affordable\, greener\, sustainable\, and secure energy sources. \n The role of gender-energy initiatives in strengthening women and youth’s engagement\, involvement\, and leadership in a just energy transition.\n Options for financing a just energy transition in Africa. \nFull papers are to be submitted at https://afaere.org/paper-submission/ \nThe deadline for full paper submissions is 31 July 2023. \nThe Scientific Committee will evaluate all submissions with the help of peer reviewers.

SUMMARY:Randomized Controlled Trials in Environment and Development Economics
DESCRIPTION:Randomized Controlled Trials in Environment and Development Economics\nRandomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)\, also known as Randomized Evaluations\, have gained increasing prominence as a methodology for evaluating policy impacts. In RCTs\, researchers randomly assign study participants to one or more groups: the “treatment group\,” which receives the intervention\, and the “control group”\, which doesn’t. Researchers measure the outcome variables of interest in these groups to identify the impact of the treatment as the single mean difference between the treatment and control groups. RCTs also empower researchers and policymakers to tailor their research designs to address specific inquiries about program\neffectiveness and its underlying theory of change. Well-designed and meticulously executed RCTs can help understand the program’s effectiveness\, the potential unforeseen consequences\, the primary beneficiaries\, the efficacy of various program components\, cost-effectiveness\, and\nhow the program compares to other programs with similar goals. \nThis webinar aims to equip participants with the fundamental aspects of RCTs\, emphasizing RCTs involving environment and development interventions. \n  \nWednesday\, December 20 2023 \n14:00 – 16:00 (WAT) \nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://unn-edu-ng.zoom.us/j/99723722365?pwd=c2lnS0E0aDA2MHhGY2lPbkRWSWhCZz09 \nMeeting ID: 997 2372 2365 \nPasscode: 257357 \n14:00-14:05: Welcome and Introduction of AFAERE \nNnaemeka Chukwuone\, President\, AFAERE \n14:05-14:10: Introduction of Speaker \nPrecious Zikhali\, President-Elect\, AFAERE \n14:10-15:30: Randomized Controlled Trials in Environment and Development Economics \nSpeaker: Yonas Alem (PhD)\, Director\, Academic Programs (EfD)\, Associate Professor\, Department of Economics\, School of Business\, Economics and Law\, University of Gothenburg \n14:30 – 14:45: Question and Answer \n16h40 – 16h45: Vote of Thanks by Selma Karuihe\, Former President\, AFAERE \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:𝐄𝐟𝐃 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
DESCRIPTION:The 18th Annual Meeting of the Environment for Development (EfD) Initiative\nEfD-Kenya\, Department of Economics\, and Development Studies\, University of Nairobi\, and the EfD Global Hub in collaboration with the African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE) \n  \nThe Environment for Development (EfD) network and the African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE) are committed to producing high-quality research and active international research interaction. This is achieved by creating an environment where discussions can take place openly\, research results can be constructively criticized\, and feedback is generated. One important strategy to promote such research interactions is through research meetings such as the EfD Annual Meeting. The annual meeting will comprise of keynotes by leading academics within the field of environmental economics with application to development in the Global South\, and tailored academic thematic sessions with hand-picked discussants. The EfD annual meeting is a forum to bring together researchers from EfD centers\, their collaborators\, and other key stakeholders for the exchange of research ideas\, discussion of research proposals\, and presentation of results from EfD projects. Over the years\, the EfD Annual Meeting has grown to become the largest annual conference in the Global South on the application of environmental economics to development. \nEnvironment for Development (EfD)\nEnvironment for Development (EfD) is an international initiative focusing on the application of environmental economics in the Global South. The overall objective of EfD is to support poverty alleviation and sustainable development in the Global South through academic programs\, research\, and policy interaction. EfD centers are hosted by leading local academic research institutions in 12 countries across the Global South: Chile\, Colombia\, Central America\, Ethiopia\, Ghana\, India\, Kenya\, Nigeria\, South Africa\, Tanzania\, Uganda\, and Vietnam. EfD has partnerships with Duke University (USA)\, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) (Germany)\, Portland State University (USA)\, Resources for the Future (USA)\, Toulouse School of Economics (France)\, Environmental Economics Program in China (EEPC)\, Peking University (China)\, University College Dublin (UCD) (Ireland)\, and Wageningen University and Research (WUR)\, Wageningen\, (Netherlands). The network is coordinated by the EfD Global Hub\, located at the School of Business\, Economics\, and Law\, University of Gothenburg\, Sweden. EfD currently supports two PhD programs at Addis Ababa University and the University of Rwanda. \nThe African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE)\nThe African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE) is an international scientific association whose main purpose is to promote research\, capacity building\, collaboration\, information sharing\, advocacy\, visibility\, and impact of environmental and natural resource economics. AFAERE aims to contribute to the development and application of environmental and resource economics as a science in Africa; encourage and improve communication between teachers\, researchers\, and students in environmental and resource economics in the different African countries; develop and encourage cooperation between university-level teaching institutions and research institutions in Africa; and promote policy-relevant research and interaction that assist policy goals and mandates consistent with the achievement of the environmental and resource economics components of Africa’s development. AFAERE council\, headed by the President\, oversees the association’s activities. \nPAPER SUBMISSION\nEfD and AFAERE invite submission of full draft papers on topics related to environmental and resource economics in developing countries and relevant EfD themes (https://efdinitiative.org/topics). The paper submissions follow these two steps:\n1. Please submit your manuscript online via Editorial Express\, www.editorialexpress.com/efd\, by June 2\, 2024.\n2. Complete the form in this link (https://form.jotform.com/240864349064057 ). The information you provide will help in deciding on a grant to cover travel and local costs for eligible researchers. \nSelected authors will be notified by July 31st\, after which the registration for the Annual Meeting will be open.
