ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 13
Book Description
In keeping with the Turkish Presidency’s focus on inclusiveness, the G20 has strengthened its work on shared prosperity within and beyond G20 Members, as well as its engagement with low income developing countries, partners in civil society and the private sector. The G20 is a very important forum in bringing traditional donor countries and emerging and South-South development partners together, enabling its members to explore new ways to co-operate. At the G20 Antalya Summit in November 2015, the Leaders of the G20 formally endorsed the G20 Leaders’ Call on Inclusive Business, the G20 Inclusive Business Framework and called for the establishment of the G20 Global Platform on Inclusive Business. The new G20 Inclusive Business Framework, designed with the support of UNDP and the World Bank, opens up new opportunities for low-income people and communities to participate in markets. The framework will also serve as tool for the G20 engagement in the effective implementation of the SDGs. Objective The Framework defines inclusive business, sets out recommendations to enable inclusive business and presents policy options for G20 and non-G20 governments, companies, and international financial institutions to promote and support inclusive business as a means to end poverty.

Poverty in the Philippines
Author: Asian Development Bank
Publisher: Asian Development Bank
ISBN: 9292547410
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and commodity prices, addressing poverty and inequality in the Philippines remains a challenge. The proportion of households living below the official poverty line has declined slowly and unevenly in the past four decades, and poverty reduction has been much slower than in neighboring countries such as the People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Economic growth has gone through boom and bust cycles, and recent episodes of moderate economic expansion have had limited impact on the poor. Great inequality across income brackets, regions, and sectors, as well as unmanaged population growth, are considered some of the key factors constraining poverty reduction efforts. This publication analyzes the causes of poverty and recommends ways to accelerate poverty reduction and achieve more inclusive growth. it also provides an overview of current government responses, strategies, and achievements in the fight against poverty and identifies and prioritizes future needs and interventions. The analysis is based on current literature and the latest available data, including the 2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey.

ISBN: 1040315178
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This book outlines 75 years of robust and multi-dimensional diplomatic relations between two democracies – India and the Philippines. Through nine chapters, penned by relying mainly on primary documents, published works, and consultations with experts and practitioners, this book takes the reader beyond historical, civilisational, political and economic synergies to locate the partnership and its potential in both bilateral and multilateral areas. This volume responds to questions such as: What explains the need to strengthen India-Philippines partnership undergirded by their historical, diasporic and cultural affinities? How have both New Delhi and Manila reassessed their economic and strategic visions in the context of the transforming Indo-Pacific discourses? Given that defence cooperation has been the hallmark of trust building, how has this been reflected in their shared visions for regional security, peace and prosperity? Finally, what are the key sectors and catalysts for forging closer cooperation for the next 25 years of India-Philippines diplomatic relations?
