La innovación impulsa el crecimiento económico a largo plazo. Juega un papel fundamental a medida que las economías se recuperan de la crisis financiera. En este libro se examina el papel de la innovación en los países en vías de desarrollo, con especial atención en África. Se investigan los sistemas de innovación y su aplicación; el papel central del conocimiento en la innovación para el desarrollo, y la importancia de los estudios comparables de los países y las estadísticas oficiales sobre innovación. Se puntualiza la necesidad de que la innovación sea parte de una agenda de desarrollo integral y se hacen recomendaciones para fomentar actividades tanto en el sector formal como el informal, con la finalidad de transformar la agricultura en una industria basada en el conocimiento capaz de estimular el crecimiento económico.
La innovación y la agenda de desarrollo es un componente importante de la Estrategia de Innovación de la OCDE, que busca crear un crecimiento sustentable más sólido, mientras aborda los principales desafíos internacionales del siglo XXI. También es parte del programa de Innovación, Tecnología y Sociedad del International Development Research Centre (IDRC) de Canadá.

Le rapport Coopération pour le développement (RCD) 2013 vise à fournir des pistes de réflexion sur la façon d'accomplir des progrès rapides et durables dans la lutte contre la pauvreté mondiale. Le monde est sur la bonne voie pour réaliser l'objectif du Millénaire pour le développement (OMD) de réduire de moitié la proportion de la population dont le revenu est inférieur à 1,25 dollars par jour. Nous sommes néanmoins loin de réaliser l'objectif global d'éradication de l'extrême pauvreté et de la faim. Nous avons tiré des enseignements sur les moyens efficaces permettant de réduire la pauvreté. Néanmoins, "arriver à zéro" demeure un défi face aux grandes difficultés pour toucher ceux en proie à une extrême pauvreté.

Ce rapport sur l’aide au développement porte principalement sur les plus démunis et décrit concrètement : la nature et les dimensions de la pauvreté aujourd'hui ; ce que peut apporter la coopération au développement, soutenue par des partenariats mondiaux, dans la lutte contre la pauvreté ; les statistiques sur l'aide au développement. Le RCD 2013 porte principalement sur les expériences positives des pays en mettant en avant les politiques et approches ayant fonctionné.

The Development Co-operation Report (DCR) 2013 explores what needs to be done to achieve rapid and sustainable progress in the global fight to reduce poverty. The world is on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1.25 a day. Nonetheless, we are far from achieving the overarching MDG goal of eradicating extreme poverty. While we have learned much about what works in terms of reducing poverty, “getting to zero” remains a challenge in the face of the intractable difficulties of reaching those mired in extreme poverty.

The report  focuses on the very poor and will set out, in concrete terms:
• The nature and dimensions of poverty today
• What development co-operation – and the global partnerships it supports – can do in the fight against poverty

The DCR 2013 will focus on the positive experiences of countries, highlighting policies and approaches that have worked.

The Mutual Review of Development Effectiveness is an exercise in mutual accountability undertaken jointly by the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the OECD following a request of NEPAD Heads of State and Government in 2003. Its purpose is to assess what has been done by Africa and its development partners to deliver commitments in relation to development in Africa, what results have been achieved, and what the key future priorities are. It complements the self-assessments produced by each side to the partnership, and is in line with the shift in emphasis from aid effectiveness to development effectiveness, and the emphasis on mutual accountability at Busan. NEPAD Heads of State and Government and AU/ECA Finance Ministers have reaffirmed the value of this exercise. The 2013 report follows the same structure as the interim and previous reports, divided into 4 main ‘clusters’ of issues covering: sustainable economic growth, investing in people, good governance and financing for development.

This publication provides an overview of the key issues, challenges and opportunities for ensuring more systematic consideration of gender issues in statebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected countries. It makes the case for gender-sensitive statebuilding based on the inherent value of gender equality as well as its contribution to better development outcomes and the achievement of peacebuilding and statebuilding goals. The report also spells out some of the contextual challenges and operational constraints that stifle progress in this area. Based on a series of empirical examples of donor practices, the report finally distills key success factors and concrete entry points for tackling these challenges and achieving a more effective, more politically informed approach to integrating gender into statebuilding.

Latin American economies continue to present relatively stable growth but continued uncertainty with regards to the duration of the commodity boom could pose threats to medium-term growth and economic development. Latin American countries face increasing competition from emerging economies across the globe particularly in manufacturing sectors. In this context of shifting wealth, it is increasingly important to foster competitiveness and connectivity.

Improving logistics performance is particularly important as it directly impacts growth, productivity, and trade within the region and beyond. The region’s productive structure with significant concentration in natural resource and agriculture augment the importance of logistics in fostering competitiveness. Nevertheless, logistics performance in the region faces serious gaps particularly in the areas of customs performance and the availability of infrastructure. Improving these aspects will entail more and better investment in infrastructure, as well as making the most of existing infrastructure by putting in place efficient trade facilitation measures and efficient and appropriate regulatory frameworks.

Coverage is provided for Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatamala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

Prenant en compte le besoin d'une approche adéquate pour appréhender et définir les responsabilités dans les situations de conflits, le Comité d'Assistance au Développement  a lancé l'initiative d'évaluation du processus de prévention du conflit et de la construction de la paix. L'objectif de cette démarche a été  d'aider à améliorer la pratique de l'évaluation et par la même, de soutenir pleinement la communauté d'experts en complétant les moyens d'organisation pour accroitre la qualité de prévention et le les interventions nécessaires pour bâtir la paix. Cette initiative cherche également à guider les décisionnaires,  agents de terrain  et de bureau  ainsi que les pays partenaires   vers une meilleure compréhension du rôle et de l'utilité des évaluations.  La méthode présentée dans ce livre fournit le contexte des causes politiques qui ont  pour effet de s'engager sur ou vers le conflit et de fragiliser la paix  et présente les défis  posés  aux évaluations propres à ces situations. Puis, elle indique la direction fondamentale pour la planification, la réalisation et la prise en compte de l'évaluation, ainsi que les principes de base sur la conception et la gestion du projet.

Ce rapport examine comment les modifications du fonctionnement des secteurs alimentaires et agricoles à travers le monde peuvent contribuer à réduire la faim et à atteindre la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Le défi est de grande ampleur et multidimensionnel. Tandis que la production alimentaire répondra aux demandes d'une population mondiale croissante et plus aisée, des politiques gouvernementales efficaces peuvent stimuler la productivité et contenir la pression à la hausse sur les prix des denrées alimentaires. Elles peuvent également aider à faire en sorte que les ressources en terre et en eau soient utilisées de manière plus durable, et à ce que les agriculteurs aient la capactité de gérer les risques et de s'adapter au changement climatique. Les échanges auront un rôle important à jouer pour garantir une utilisation efficace et durable des ressources, et pour distribuer les excédents de denrées alimentaires aux régions déficitaires. Parallèlement, des réformes multilatérales sont nécessaires pour garantir un système mondial des échanges plus efficace et plus juste qu'auparavant.

Environ deux tiers de la population pauvre mondiale vit dans des régions rurales , où l'agriculture est la principale activité économique. Ce rapport examine comment les politiques gouvernementales peuvent augmenter les revenus des familles agricoles et rurales, et ainsi améliorer l'accès aux denrées alimentaires de la population pauvre. Bien que la croissance des revenus soit essentielle à la sécurité alimentaire à long terme, elle n'est pas suffisante. Des politiques complémentaires, comme l'amélioration de la santé et de l'assainissement, sont requises pour garantir une meilleure alimentation de la population. Il faut donc prendre des mesures à de nombreux niveaux. Ce rapport a pour objectif d'aider les responsables politiques à établir des priorités au niveau mondial, régional et national.
