The Africa Higher Education Centers of Excellence: A Pathway towards Sustainable Development - High-Level Meetings with Partners
2022-10-17 09:00 - 2022-10-18 16:30 | World Bank Headquarters in Washington, D.C., 1818 H St NW, Washington, District of Columbia, 20433, United States
Background

The Africa Centers of Excellence project (ACEs) is the first large scale regional program funded by the World Bank in the higher education sector in Africa. It addresses higher-level skills development needs and innovative research requirements for the continent’s priority development sectors in five main areas: science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); agriculture; health; environment; applied social science and education. Since its start in 2014, the program has supported over 80 centers in more than 50 universities across 20 countries across the continent. Under the program, thousands of students –more than one third of whom are female– are enrolled in postgraduate programs geared towards international standards in delivering quality training and regional specializations that are helping to fulfill labor market demands on the continent. The ACEs are undertaking high impact research that are addressing some of the region’s most pressing development challenges such as food insecurity, climate change and infectious diseases.

In 2019, in order to increase the impact of existing ACEs and extend the program to more centers, the World Bank, together with the French Development Agency, launched the third phase of the program: the “ACE for Development Impact project, ACE-Impact”. A total of 53 centers in 35 universities across 11 countries –Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo—participate in the ACE-Impact project to improve and accelerate the quality, quantity and development impact of postgraduate education. These ACEs have developed strong partnerships with universities and industries locally, regionally and all over the world, helping to generate support for student’s research programs, offering internships, and facilitating their access to the job market. The ACEs are playing a key role in increasing the number of sciences graduates needed to support Africa’s fast-growing economy.

About the event

In collaboration with the French Development Agency, AFD (co-financier of ACE-Impact), the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development, IRD (facilitating ACEs’ regional networks), and the Association of African Universities, AAU (ACE-Impact Regional Facilitation Unit), the World Bank is organizing a two-day high-level event under the theme: “The Africa Higher Education Centers of Excellence: A Pathway towards Sustainable Development”. The event will take place at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC, on October 17 and 18, 2022, and will bring together the ACEs and the most influential decision makers in the development space to discuss the centers’ innovations and best practices at both national and regional levels, as well as their challenges and opportunities. Following the high-level event, the ACEs will travel on October 20 and 21, 2022 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University for peer-learning and partnership opportunities.

Ending Poverty in Central Asia: Navigating Uncertainty
2022-10-17 07:00 - 09:15 | Virtual Event
Before Central Asia could recover from the impacts of COVID-19 and return to pre-pandemic levels of poverty reduction, the world was plunged into more uncertainty given the war in Ukraine and rising food and fuel prices. These crises could undue decades of efforts in the region’s fight against poverty and are top of mind for households—World Bank survey data shows that over half of respondents across Central Asia are concerned about how these global crises could disrupt their lives.

On October 17, the World Bank will host a discussion on how the region can preserve hard-won gains and continue lifting people out of poverty despite these global shocks. Speakers will address:

How resilient are Central Asian households in the current climate?

2. How are poverty trends changing and what can the region expect in the near future?

3. What policies should be prioritized to support the poorest and most vulnerable in Central Asia?

Join us to learn more and share your views on what it will take to push forward on ending poverty in Central Asia through these difficult times.

It is an economic imperative for leaders, investors and society to maximize the return on investment of ESG strategies. While having comprehensive sustainable business plans that navigate issues like climate change, stakeholder capitalism and DEI efforts are now table stakes for most organizations; some companies are ahead of the curve when it comes to these efforts. When it comes to investing, there are quantitative and qualitative ESG investment strategies that have proven success when it comes to returns and impact.

CNBC’s ESG Impact conference convenes corporate leaders and noted investors who are succeeding in the space to share their best ideas when it comes to the environment, social and governance, where to invest and how to measure the impact.

Climate Bonds Connect 2022 - Regional Seminar Asia Pacific
2022-10-05 20:00 - 2022-10-06 01:45 | SGX Centre, Singapore
REGIONAL SEMINAR ASIA PACIFIC

Kick-starting our Climate Bonds CONNECT 2022 event series is our Asia Pacific Regional Seminar in Singapore, where we will convene local and regional actors and focus the conversations on the Asia Pacific region’s priorities to accelerate the development of the sustainable debt market.

As a region on the front line of climate change impacts, organisations in Asia have been working relentlessly with significant capacity-building projects in the region. The growing volume of Sovereign labelled issuances for infrastructure investments, including sustainable Islamic finance growth and Green Sukuk issuances, positions the region as an influential player in the transitioning of the green finance economy.

The combination of net-zero commitments; policy action; green hubs; global investors; and banking sector support in the region will help pave the way for sustainable growth paths needed to raise the $5trillion of climate bonds issuance per year by 2025.

Climate Bonds Connect 2022: Combining the power of in-person and with the reach of online participation

With a mix of invitation-only in-person participation and a larger online audience connected to the discussions, the Asia Pacific Regional Seminar will combine the power of in-person events with the reach and flexibility that online participation provides to drive the sustainable finance agenda forward.

Leading investors, financial leaders and policymakers from across the region will convene in Singapore this October to discuss potential solutions and opportunities for both private sector and governments in moving their economies onto a Paris-aligned pathway.

Unlocking Sustainable Finance for Nature-Based Solutions #UNGA77
2022-09-22 10:15 - 11:15 | Virtual Event
Join us for an event on the sidelines of UNGA 77 in New York where Devex — in partnership with FinDev Canada, Pollination and ANZ — will show how private investors and development finance institutions hold the power to protect, sustainably manage, and restore ecosystems through investments in nature-based solutions.

Investors are now coming under increasing scrutiny over how far their investments support a pathway to net-zero, particularly in low- and middle-income countries that often bear the highest burden of climate impacts. Private investors and development finance institutions have an opportunity to participate meaningfully in the funding of nature-based projects in these markets and expand access to bankable solutions.

The financing of nature-based solutions requires collaboration across a diverse set of partners, including the public and private sector, conservation organizations, commercial and impact investors, donors, and many more.
