Hi everyone, This might be intriguing for those of you interested in economic models for development. We have been working to bring the benefits of high-quality OLG models to a large number of developing countries to support their specific needs. With these models we aim to boost the capacity of government agencies and stakeholders in utilizing data and analytical modeling tools. This is essential for developing policies that support sustainable and inclusive growth, addressing key challenges in the pursuit of the SDGs). The OLG model is based on the OG-CORE framework, a comprehensive tool for policy analysis. Check out the first adaptation in this series, the OG-ZAF model for South Africa (link below). This open-source initiative is expected to greatly enhance national decision-making and planning, leading to more effective policy development.

If you're attending UKREiiF today you may be interested in our blog "Mapping the future of business" We asked Daniel Clements, Enterprise Sales Lead for Land & Property at Emapsite, about the power of location data to change commercial perspectives. “Our customers may not be aware of how much is possible today,” he explained, “especially as so much of the spatial services marketplace is fixated on risk. We believe the value of insight is not just around physical peril but also commercial opportunity. “When it comes to property investment, more often than not, the view is long-term and generally risk averse. We’re trying to bust that myth and show how people can realise value in the shorter term.” Take your insight to the next level, connect with Dan at UKREiiF today.

Do innovation grand challenges work? In the excitement over innovation programming within development and humanitarian programs, and given expectations of high failure rates for innovation, are such programs being “let off the hook” by not being required to develop rigorous monitoring and evaluation systems? TripleLine's award-winning paper, Evaluating Global Innovation, featured as the third tool in our Measuring Innovation Results Series, addresses these questions and provides practical guidance for evaluating innovation programs.
