Abstract:
Financial infrastructure development needs are determined by infor-mation technology development and changes in financial and business needs. Accordingly, a need for completely new systems and regulatory frameworks emerges every ten to fifteen years. The payments and settlements framework is provided by BIS recommendations, including the relevant CPSS publications and the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures report published in 2011. Efficiency is the ultimate driving force for development and this holds true for the project for intraday settlements in Hungary. The most tangible cha

Abstract:
Infrastructure is an essential pillar for growth, particularly in developing countries that lack access to the basic and vital services. Therefore, global infrastructure needs across countries and income groups are vast, and current infrastructure investment is not sufficient to meet them all. The nascent investment gap is too large to be financed exclusively by governments; thus, a call for additional capital funds is emergent. In this work various financing mechanisms, including government spending, public-private partnerships, foreign borrowing by supranational institutions, and alternative

Abstract:
Central to the South African government’s vision of providing services to all is on-going maintenance of public infrastructure. Since 1994 the government focused on addressing backlogs in the provision of water services through new infrastructure investment; however it failed to make sufficient investment in the maintenance and renewal of this infrastructure (SAICE, 2006). Older infrastructure is not being renewed or refurbished as required and planned preventative maintenance on new infrastructure is inadequate (SAICE, 2006). This has been generally attributed to poor management strategies th

The result is a huge amount of affected people who rely on humanitarian aid. The satisfaction of this need is the responsibility of disaster management. Only little research about the relation of disaster management and climate change was done so far but would be of utmost importance as climate change is one main obstacle for efficient humanitarian work and disaster management design, in return, affects the resilience and vulnerability of

There has been an increase in research on the internationalization of sharing economy firms. However most of this research has largely focused on mature markets. Very little attention has been given to the internationalization of sharing economy firms in emerging markets particularly those from Africa. The African continent is different from mature markets and the internationalization challenges of sharing economy firms are therefore dissimilar.  This study seeks to fill the existing knowledge gap by exploring the internationalization challenges faced by sharing economy firms from an emerging

This dissertation aims to inform more equitable and effective practice in the emerging field of global health. To address this overriding question of how principles of equity and effectiveness can best be implemented, I critically analyze discursive and practical challenges facing Northern researchers as they approach health problems in the global South, and explore solutions to these challenges. This exploration employs a case study on the articulation of a specific problem in a specific, nominally ‘Southern’, setting: pesticide-related health effects in Ecuador's banana-producing El Oro prov
