THE EBT+ APPROACH TO POLICY ANALYSIS IS CURRENTLY BEING PILOTED IN GHANA, GUATEMALA, AND NAMIBIA. TRAININGS WERE IMPLEMENTED IN GUATEMALA AND NAMIBIA IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2023. THE PROJECT CLOSED IN MARCH 2023. 42778 THE GDN GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE IS A PRESTIGIOUS ANNUAL EVENT HELD IN DIFFERENT REGIONS WITH A DIFFERENT THEME EACH YEAR. IT SERVES AS A PLATFORM FOR HIGH-LEVEL, INCLUSIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED DEBATES ON CURRENT DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND PRIORITIES. WHAT SETS IT APART IS THAT IT'S THE ONLY INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE WHERE THE MAJORITY OF PARTICIPANTS ARE FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THIS UNIQUE FEATURE PROVIDES PROMISING RESEARCHERS FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THEIR WORK, EXCHANGE IDEAS WITH RENOWNED ACADEMICS AND POLICYMAKERS, AND ESTABLISH GLOBAL NETWORKS, THEREBY ENHANCING THEIR PROFESSIONAL VISIBILITY AND CAPACITY. THE CONFERENCE OFFERS FRESH SOUTHERN PERSPECTIVES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, TYPICALLY DISCUSSED IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, AND PROMOTES COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESS.

THE EVENT WAS JOINTLY ORGANIZED BY THE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK (GDN), THE CENTER FOR STUDIES AND RESEARCH ON INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CERDI), THE FOUNDATION FOR STUDIES AND RESEARCH ON INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (FERDI), AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CLERMONT-AUVERGNE. THE CONFERENCE ADOPTED A HYBRID FORMAT, WITH 280 IN-PERSON PARTICIPANTS AND 322 ONLINE ATTENDEES, REPRESENTING A TOTAL OF 79 COUNTRIES, WITH THE MAJORITY HAILING FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THIS HYBRID APPROACH EXPANDED THE REACH OF THE CONFERENCE, ALLOWING THE PARTICIPATION OF RESEARCHERS, POLICYMAKERS, DEVELOPMENT FUNDERS, AND PRIVATE SECTOR REPRESENTATIVES WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE OTHERWISE ATTENDED. THE CONFERENCE WAS BILINGUAL, AND CONDUCTED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND FRENCH.IN TERMS OF THEMATIC FOCUS, THE CONFERENCE ENCOMPASSED A WIDE ARRAY OF TOPICS, RANGING FROM THE OVERARCHING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN TAXATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL TAXATION, THE IMPACT OF TAX SYSTEMS AND REFORMS ON INCLUSIVITY AND INEQUALITY IN DEVELOPING NATIONS, THE PROGRESSIVITY OF VARIOUS TAX TYPES, AND BROADER DISCUSSIONS ON FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDAS AND LOCAL EVIDENCE ECOSYSTEMS. DESPITE EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE GENDER BALANCE, THE CONFERENCE SAW A 35% FEMALE PARTICIPATION RATE. THANKS TO THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE BILINGUAL FORMAT IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH, A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ATTENDEES FROM FRANCOPHONE AFRICA WERE ATTRACTED TO THE CONFERENCE. 256398 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X NAUSHAD KHAN 2028614364 901 NORTH GLEBE ROAD SUITE 200 ARLINGTON VA 22203 FRANCOIS BOURGUIGNON CHAIR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHANTA DEVARAJAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JUSTIN YIFU LIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 HELEN MILNER BOARD MEMBER UNTIL AUGUST 2022 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 BIMAN PRASAD BOARD MEMBER UNTIL AUGUST 2022 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHLOMO WEBER BOARD MEMBER UNTIL AUGUST 2022 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 PIERRE MICHAEL JACQUET PRESIDENT UNTIL DECEMBER 2022 12.00 29.75 X 0 135864 10728 RAMAN ABROL DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, HR & ADMIN 25.00 25.50 X 0 92961 6318 JEAN-LOUIS ARCAND PRESIDENT FROM JANUARY 2023 12.00 29.75 X 0 0 0 NAUSHAD KHAN FINANCE MANAGER 25.00 25.00 X 0 35123 2822 0 263948 19868 0 0 0 0 0 285322 285322 677 677 285999 0 0 677 X 104500 104500 6174 6174 122152 122152 6166 402 5764 5391 5391 5619 5619 5758 5758 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 1881 1318 563 ALLOCATION OF SECRETARI 0 16649 -16649 257641 256398 1243 0 278358 213338 50038 54649 328396 267987 263371 189113 16112 1603 279483 190716 X 21595 77271 27318 0 48913 77271 328396 267987 28358 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 291733 156344 370913 496767 285322 1601079 291733 156344 370913 496767 285322 1601079 81672 1519407 21888 10409 437 516 677 33927 1800 2500 4300 1639306 0.92690 0.92560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 285999 0 285999 0 285999 257641 0 257641 0 257641 1 SOUTH ASIA 7 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATED IN THE REGION N/A 62000 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 3 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATED IN THE REGION N/A 26500 EAST ASIA 2 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATED IN THE REGION N/A 10000 SOUTH AMERICA 2 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATED IN THE REGION N/A 6000 14 0 0 0 14 0 104500 0 104500 SOUTH ASIA RESEARCH GRANT 40000 WIRE 0 N/A N/A SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA RESEARCH GRANT 13500 WIRE 0 N/A N/A SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA RESEARCH GRANT 12000 WIRE 0 N/A N/A EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC RESEARCH GRANT 10000 WIRE 0 N/A N/A SOUTH ASIA RESEARCH GRANT 6000 WIRE 0 N/A N/A SOUTH ASIA RESEARCH GRANT 6000 WIRE 0 N/A N/A SOUTH AMERICA RESEARCH GRANT 6000 WIRE 0 N/A N/A 7 0 RESEARCH GRANTS SOUTH ASIA 4 10000 WIRE N/A N/A RESEARCH GRANTS SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 1 1000 WIRE N/A N/A 0 0 0 0 0 0 PART I, LINE 2: GRANTS ARE AWARDED TO INDIVIDUAL RESEARCHERS, TEAMS, AND/OR THINK TANKS OR UNIVERSITIES (ALL NON PROFIT INSTITUTIONS) TO CARRY OUT RESEARCH PROJECTS ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK, INC.
