Filets Sociaux (Jigisémèjiri) program midline report
This report presents findings from the impact evaluation of the Jigisémèjiri program at midline. It first provides background on the evaluation, including details on the program and interventions. It then relates first-order, second-order, and third-order outcomes of interest in a conceptual framework, which guides our analysis and structures the report. The report next describes the evaluation design, sampling, and data collection process. It then presents statistics on beneficiaries’ experience with the CTs and AM. Last, it uses the baseline and midline data, exploiting the randomized design, to estimate the impacts of the program on its beneficiary population at midline, distinguishing between household-level outcomes and child-level outcomes. Given that the baseline report showed that the randomization process was successful at creating similar groups for comparison for the impact evaluation with similar preprogram characteristics, the impacts at midline can be interpreted as truly caused by the program rather than simply correlated with its receipt.
Revisiting Targeting in Social Assistance
Targeting is a commonly used, but much debated, policy tool within global social assistance practice. Revisiting Targeting in Social Assistance: A New Look at Old Dilemmas examines the well-known dilemmas in light of the growing body of experience, new implementation capacities, and the potential to bring new data and data science to bear. The book begins by considering why or whether or how narrowly or broadly to target different parts of social assistance and updates the global empirics around the outcomes and costs of targeting. It illustrates the choices that must be made in moving from an abstract vision to implementable definitions and procedures, and in deciding how the choices should...
L’État de la participation citoyenne pour le développement durable
L’essor des mouvements citoyens et sociaux de ces dernières années et la multiplication des modes d’expression de la société civile (nouveaux médias, réseaux sociaux numériques) mettent en lumière une demande accrue de démocratie participative ainsi que la création et l’utilisation croissantes de différentes instances citoyennes comme autant d’espaces de participation citoyenne permettant l’organisation et le dialogue pour la défense de droits et d’idées de citoyens. Cette place croissante de la participation citoyenne est visible en particulier dans le domaine du développement durable. Le 20e anniversaire du Sommet de Rio en 2012 a été l’occasion de constater q...

BioMEMS and Bionanotechnology
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can be a critical link between the macroworld and the realm of nanobiotechnology. Top-down MEMS methods and devices will likely serve as an important handle for interfacing with the bottom-up techniques and structures that typify nanobiotechnology. This volume focuses on recent advances in the fields of MEMS and BioMEMS, including microfluidics, bioanalysis, packaging, materials and fabrication methods. It is clear from these presentations that top-down semiconductor-based processing remains vital. Indeed, frontiers are expanding within this realm, with new research on materials like poly-SiGe. However, new materials, particularly polymers, and bottom-up...
Molecular Environmental Biology
Molecular Environmental Biology is the first book to illustrate molecular biological approaches to major issues in environmental biology. International experts have contributed representative chapters that cover how molecular methods and concepts apply to wildlife management, ecology, pollution control and remediation, and environmental health. Specific topics discussed include the use of molecular techniques in the population biology of wild animals and in the management of fisheries, bioremediation, cloning and characterization of the genes responsible for degradation of PCBs and related environmental pollutants, molecular analysis of aromatic hydrocarbon degradation by soil bacteria, and ...
The Idea of Ancient India
How can the complexities of ancient India be comprehended? This book draws on a vast array of texts, inscriptions, archaeology, archival sources and art to delve into themes such as the history of regions and religions, archaeologists and the modern histories of ancient sites, the interface between political ideas and practice, violence and resistance, and the interactions between the Indian subcontinent and the wider world. It highlights recent approaches and challenges in reconstructing South Asia's early history, and in doing so, brings out the exciting complexities of ancient India. Authoritative and incisive, this revised Penguin edition-with two new chapters-is essential reading for students and scholars of ancient Indian history and for all those interested in India's past.
Buddhist Reflections
