Policy Coherence for Development: The State of Play in Ireland
Authors: Frank Barry, Michael King, and Alan Matthews
Policy Coherence for Development: The State of Play in Ireland In Ireland, the agenda for Policy Coherence for Development is set out in the White Paper on Irish Aid (Government of Ireland, 2006). Responding to PCD developments at EU level, the White Paper adopted coherence as a guiding principle for Ireland's overseas development aid programme. The White Paper committed to working towards a coherent approach to development assistance across all government departments and towards coherence across all development assistance instruments. This book is the first systematic assessment of policy coherence for development (PCD) across Irish Government departments. This book identifies areas and issues where either it appears there may be incoherence between domestic Irish policies and development objectives, or opportunities for win-win outcomes which are not currently being exploited. We make recommendations on policies and actions which government departments might take to advance the PCD agenda. Topics coved include Trade Policy (Chapter 2), Agricultural Policy (Chapter 3), Fisheries (Chapter 4), Migration (Chapter 5), Environment Transport and Energy (Chapter 6), Finance, Enterprise and Science and Technology Policy (Chapter 7) and Defence and Security Issues (Chapter 8).
Kenya's Financial Transformation in the 21st Century
Edited by: Amrik Heyer and Michael King
The aim of this book is to stimulate debate on how we analyse and think about the future of market development and its implications for poverty and growth. The book was commissioned by Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Kenya as an invitation to scholars to dig more deeply into the data that have been collected over the past ten years by FSD and its partners, especially the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). While a wealth of data exists on Kenya's financial markets, our understanding of market drivers and their development impacts is still limited. Drawing on cutting-edge methodology and sophisticated analysis, the purpose of this book is to take a step back from the narrative of progress that has characterised financial inclusion reports. The chapters take a more critical look at the financial landscape, highlighting constraints to infrastructural expansion, effects of market structure, demand-side drivers of uptake and usage, as well as the implications of financial sector development for poverty and growth. The seven chapters can be grouped into three broad areas. The first three chapters look at the achievements and constraints to formal access, leveraging demand and supply-side data. The middle chapters look at the effects of digitisation on financial inclusion, while the final chapters propose new measures of financial inclusion.
