Abstract:
Retrosynthesis has been likened to the game of chess. There are relatively simple rules to learn, but only through experience and practice can a learner acquire the tacit knowledge required for mastery of the subject. This makes it a challenging topic to teach effectively to a large and diverse cohort of learners. Lectures are a good way of transmitting knowledge, but do not provide the engagement and training that is essential in developing a deep understanding of retrosynthesis. Therefore, students tend to struggle to achieve success in this topic. This project aimed to alleviate this problem by producing online learning resources to be combined with traditional face-to-face teaching methods to develop a blended learning approach. These resources included animated videos, quizzes, worked examples and other interactive learning materials. Analysis of examination results and learner feedback showed that the supplementary resources not only improved student performance and understanding, but also provided a more satisfactory learning experience. External evaluation suggested that the learning package has significant potential and development should be continued.

Abstract:
For an enhanced learning experience, along with conventional classroom and laboratory teaching, project-based learning (PBL) has been introduced in the curriculum to motivate students to learn by working in a group cooperatively. However, true learning depends on the successful implementation of Project-Based Learning teaching methodology. In this paper, a case study of the implementation of the PBL over a semester is presented with outcome measurement for the Second Year Electrical Engineering students. Initially, a project-based learning implementation strategy is designed in line with the curriculum prescribed by the Savitribai Phule Pune University (formerly Pune University). It is then carried out over a semester as per the predefined schedule. Outcome measurement is done at the end of the semester by collecting course feedback from individual students. The analysis of the course feedback showed the development of knowledge and skills of the subject matter in students. Keywords—Course Feedback; Outcome Measurement; Project-based learning; Teaching Methodology.

Abstract:
What kind of knowledge can narratives transmit beyond their explicit propositional content? An extreme reductionist would argue that no additional knowledge is transmitted. A moderate reductionist might suggest that narratives can impart an additional structure to the knowledge, such as emphasizing importance or plausibility. In contrast, a moderate non-reductionist would assert that narratives contain non-explicit propositional content, including causal relationships between events and generalizations. Finally, an extreme non-reductionist would see stories as a means to transmit non-propositional knowledge, most prominently, knowledge of persons and personal perspectives. This categorization aids in understanding which aspects of narrative knowledge could be accessible to artificial intelligence.

Abstract:
Biofilms invariably colonize drinking water distribution systems with intensities and patterns governed by the habitat's environment. Water temperature and flow dynamics, nutrient availability, disinfectant residual and pipe material determine their development, structure and composition. Drinking water pipe biofilms control microbial regrowth and are a possible source of pathogens. However, these are possibly released at levels that do not generally impart hazards to healthy drinking water consumers. A deeper understanding of drinking water biofilms microbial ecology must be achieved before this issue can be adequately assessed.

Abstract:
With the continuous development and progress of science and technology in China, more and more schools and teachers are beginning to combine the "Internet" technology for teaching. Under the background of the Internet, teachers should strive to create a relaxed, equal and democratic atmosphere in the classroom, so that they can impart knowledge to students well and students can master it better. In campus, both tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge need teachers to keep pace with the times, give full play to the advantages of computer and Internet, and effectively impart knowledge to students. By the combination of "Internet" and foreign language teaching in colleges and universities, the community teaching mode has made the foreign language curriculum in colleges and universities better developed. Under the background of "Internet ", the community construction of teachers' professional development makes teachers' professional development closely related to the Internet, which is the inevitable trend of teachers' professional development.

Much is made of the potential of prison education to impart knowledge and skills and transform life chances. Prison education is tasked with delivering qualifications and effecting recidivism. In assessing current arrangements for the delivery of prison education and reviews and evaluations of its impact on recidivism in England and Wales, this article argues that prison education should be an inclusive activity. Specifically, prison education should focus less on individual development and more on whole class ‘domains,’ in particular, knowledge of (re)integration. Research, policy, and practice on civic/citizenship education provide models in this regard.

Abstract:
This thesis discusses the impact that paradigms of thought have on the construction of conservation programmes. Western scientific thinking represents a distinct way of looking at the world. It accepts a separation between nature and culture and thinks that knowledge about the world can best be discovered through the use of experiments that follow a specific set of rules, the scientific method. Scientific thinking is an integral part of the world view of scientists and extends to the way in which they interact with the world. Scientific researchers design their projects in accordance with how they view nature. This leads to particular construction of the role of primates. People in the network of a conservation project are involved in this paradigm to varying degrees. The purpose that scientific thinkers put behind conservation can be in direct contradiction with that of the local people. Although all groups involved may agree that conservation is a valuable goal, the ways in which they value nature and want to conserve it can be quite different. Scientists view themselves as experts on nature and how best to conserve it, and they attempt to spread their way of thinking about nature to local populations through education programmes. Not all groups accept the scientific paradigm to the same extent and this has a wider impact on the local community and forms new causes of tension as knowledge and power shift. I studied one particular field station, and explored how scientific thinking affected the outcomes of both scientific research and additional projects. I looked at how basing the conservation around scientific research has changed the dynamics created by a forest reserve. Finally I discussed with local people the ways in which the scientific paradigm had spread to them and how the field station was affecting them.

Abstract:
In the new global economy, knowledge is recognised as one of the most valuable organisational assets and an important competitive advantage. Therefore organisations need to concede that knowledge sharing is imperative in order to survive and compete effectively in the global economy. This study examined the extent to which culture impacted the effectiveness of knowledge sharing in an organisation. There were four dimensions of culture identified that influence knowledge sharing namely individualism/collectivism, power distance, masculinity/feminity and uncertainty avoidance. This research was quantitative in nature. A web based questionnaire was administered to a sample of 96 respondents in top and middle management by means of convenience sampling. The findings in this study indicate that age, gender and work experience have no influence on the impact of culture on knowledge sharing. It was further found that three out of the four cultural dimensions impacted knowledge sharing positively. They were low individualism and high collectivism, low power distance and low masculinity and high feminity. The fourth cultural dimension uncertainty avoidance was found to be high indicating a negative impact on knowledge sharing. Recommendations for future research include a larger sample size for a more comprehensive study, a comparative study with other chrome manufacturing operations and identifying the necessary tools required to reduce high uncertainty avoidance cultures.

Abstract:
Studies in recent years have revealed that use of ICT can significantly impact knowledge sharing in organizations by enhancing the knowledge sharing process, reducing knowledge sharing barriers, and introducing technology barriers. While this has been identified in many studies and a significant research has been carried out to identify knowledge sharing barriers, there exists a considerable dearth of research when the question of ‘which knowledge sharing barriers can ICT reduce and how?’ is posed. This thesis aims to address this question by studying the case of an organization using ICT for knowledge sharing. The study was carried out using questionnaire and interview findings and results showed that if ICT is effectively used, a number of knowledge sharing barriers - in addition to time and space barriers - can be successfully reduced. Organizational and individual knowledge sharing barriers saw most reduction by ICT while technology barriers did not see any reduction by use of ICT alone. This is in coherence with different studies that use of ICT for knowledge sharing introduces its own technology barriers. However the results show that if employees are tech-savvy and management considerably supports employee involvement in the process of design and deployment of ICT enabled knowledge sharing, technology barriers can also be greatly reduced and even entirely eliminated.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2001.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 199-216).<br>Developing offerings faster, better and cheaper than competitors has become critical to success. In response to these commercial pressures, many industries have shifted from a sequential, functional development paradigm to a concurrent, team-based paradigm. Increasing the concurrence and cross-functional development, however, also dramatically increases the dynamic complexity of development projects. This is added complexity on top of the increasing technological complexity of offerings. Whilst traditional models based on tools such as the CPM and PERT have been used for the planning and management of such projects successfully in the past, the increase in complexity has shown that such tools are less capable of planning and predicting the outcome of projects. This is due to the dynamic nature of projects and the task-based approach used. Recent research using dynamic simulation tools such as system dynamics have indicated reasons that project duration and cost have been consistently underestimated. The differentiation is attributed to the ability of dynamic simulation tools to capture the iterative nature of work. Existing research has, however, concentrated on iteration as a result of errors, quality control and shifting targets. Although these factors do contribute to iteration, they seem almost exogenous factors where independent policies can be used to mitigate the need for iteration. Yet all texts on design and product development describe the process as an iterative one. There must, therefore, be some endogenous factors that result in an inherent need for iteration. With the level of complexity of projects, specialization becomes necessary. As a result, no individual within a project has 'lull" knowledge about the project and its current state of development. In other words, the information and knowledge is segregated to different parts of the project organization. This research proposes a shift towards a knowledge-evolution paradigm and uses it to investigate the impacts of such knowledge segregation on the performance of product development projects. This proposed framework acts, in part, to provide management levers and measurements in managing the knowledge within product development projects. These are measurements that the traditional task-based frameworks cannot directly provide. A dynamic simulation model of a development project with multiple persons was built using the system dynamics methodology. The model portrays the segregation of knowledge and studies its impact on the rate of development and iteration. The model was applied to projects with a scope defined by the Delta Design Game. Though simple, the Delta Design game provides the boundaries in understanding the interactions amongst participants in a typical process and has been used in the past primarily to demonstrate this aspect of design. The model simulation bore results that closely resembled real life behavior of the Delta Design project. The model was also applied to the investigation of differing policies for improved project performance. These policies include strategies involving conservatism in design, preemptive measures against iteration and reduction of knowledge segregation through the decoupling of the knowledge processes. The model structure provides insight as to the effectiveness of these strategies. The research finds that rework and iteration happens inherently in development projects and its prevalence is interwoven into the fabric of the system architecture and project organization structure. Finally, this research has shown value in the knowledge evolution paradigm by gathering insights through which task-based models could not. In so doing so, it is shown that there is value in developing this conc<br>by Jeffrey C. Chi.<br>Ph.D.

Abstract:
The use of pharmaceutical products has steadily increased in the United States from 2 billion prescriptions in 1999 to 3.9 billion in 2009. Half of patients do not comply with the recommended prescription regimen and dispose of unused drugs in the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and many researchers have highlighted the human-health risks associated with improperly disposing of pharmaceutical products. This quantitative cross-sectional study examined the potential correlations between people's actual disposal practices and their knowledge of the impact of disposal practices on the environment and human health, and availability of disposal options. The conceptual framework selected for this study comprised 2 models: the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior. Respondents to an online survey were 485 residents of the northeast United States, polled from the general population. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to model responses from the dependent variable actual disposal practice (ADP) across the independent variables, and analysis of variance explored whether ADP differed across demographic variables. Statistically significant associations emerged among individuals' knowledge of environment and human-health impact, recommended disposal practices, disposal options, and that person's likelihood to practice recommended disposal. Demographic variables did not impact disposal behavior. To promote positive social change, it is recommended that policymakers plan and implement the expansion of convenient drug disposal options, as well as information campaigns on proper disposal practices. In parallel, health care professionals should stress to their patients the importance of complying with prescribed regimens, thus minimizing the amount of unused or expired medications.

Abstract:
The loss of experienced employees in project organisation leads to the loss of valuable knowledge and experience gained over many years. Knowledge management (KM) has the ability to challenge this situation. This research study is focused on the field of knowledge management in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) type contracts in Libyan oil and gas industry projects. The research study aims to put forward guidance on how KM should be implemented in practice as a convincing case for the oil and gas construction industry. Adopting a practical «in project environment» KM scheme is a means of becoming more efficient, with greater ability to continuously learn and adapt in a dynamic mode. In Libya’s oil and gas industry, and in particular, in project development, there has been very little guidance on how KM should be implemented in practice. The existing available KM mostly takes the form of tacit knowledge and almost none was identified as explicit knowledge. Emergent in nature, the research work is comprised of three phases: initial interviews, case study «A», and case study «B». Each of the phases was combined with a review of relevant literature, primary research (including interviews, questionnaires, case studies and action research) and grounded theory in analytical processes. Phase (1) - Initial interviews were conducted with project managers and senior managers from three different oil and gas companies; many gaps were identified by investigating issues related to KM. It was evident that KM within the projects organisation was kept in tacit format by individuals. Phase (2) - Case study (A): Review and analysis of a KM implementation initiative made by a Project Manager (PM) with his team between 2006-2008, was found to be not successful and non-contributory in real-world terms, but in academic terms it gives an opportunity to identify and evaluate challenges to be faced in adopting a KM model in organisations. The role of the Projects Department emerged as essential in the articulation of KM between project and organisation. Phase (3) - Case study B: The researcher was involved through a live EPC project, making observations and organising interviews when necessary and analyse the created knowledge life cycle during the project. The research gives much attention to the phenomena of knowledge development during an EPC project; the knowledge created in any of the project phases will take a different shape due to the technical development of the project work from one phase to the next; as such, if the project is not tracked during its development, it will lose its context and dramatically decrease the effectiveness of its re-usability in subsequent project phases and new projects within the organisation. The added value of this research is the development of a practical organisational model for managing effectively the knowledge created during projects execution, based on an integrated, optimised, and suitable lessons learned tracking system.

Abstract:
It is a management truism that you cannot manage what you cannot measure. To manage knowledge effectively organisations need to understand how to measure their knowledge management performance against organisational goals. The case study organisation has developed a balanced scorecard, which is used to monitor key drivers for performance within the remit of the knowledge management function, thereby aiming to improve the delivery of value adding services. The set of cause and effect relationships at the heart of the scorecard - referred to as the success map - is at the core of this research, which aims to investigate if the link between managing knowledge and financial performance really exists and - if it does - how it can be influenced. By means of analytical methods including regression, correlation and semi-structured interviews the existence of this link is supported by evidence and the success map updated to reflect the relationships among key performance drivers that were positively identified as relevant. The outcome is a model for managing knowledge that can be applied to professional service firms or comparable organisations that are highly dependant on knowledge. In relation to this model, cultural variations were investigated and found to significantly influence the relevant performance drivers in several regions and countries across the case study organisation. Ignoring these cultural variations was found to carry the risk to base action on deceitful insights. In addition to this, the analysis of the survey also gave a clear indication of how to foster knowledge sharing among lawyers of different nationality and levels of seniority. This thesis provides the empirical evidence for a link between knowledge management and organisational performance.

Abstract:
AbstractDrought stress is a global problem affecting society, economy, and the environment. The foremost and worst affected sector impacted by drought is the agriculture sector, thus threatening food security. Hence, it is imperative that we adopt methods that impart drought tolerance to plants. One such approach is the inoculation of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as it is economical, environment friendly, and sustainable. AMF are soil-dwelling symbiotic fungi that impart drought tolerance to many plants. In this article, we have discussed the recent findings of AMF-induced adaptive strategies of plants in overcoming drought stress. These strategies include modifications in the host plant’s structure (leaf and root architecture), biochemistry (such as accumulation of osmolytes), and physiology (acquisition of water and nutrients, chlorophyll synthesis, hormone signaling). The article has also identified and presented gaps in research, the unraveling of which can improve our knowledge of mechanisms of drought tolerance brought about by AMF colonization.

Abstract:
AbstractCities in Southern Africa are experiencing a rapid rate of urbanisation, which exacerbates the impacts of climate change on cities. The recent droughts and water stress in Cape Town, South Africa and Windhoek, Namibia, impacts of Cyclone Idai that destroyed 90% of Beira city, and recurrent heatwaves are evidence of the impacts of climate change on cities in the region. Planners are responsible for the spatial configuration of spaces and places such that cities are safe, resilient, sustainable, and inclusive; hence planning for climate change is imperative. In this study, we argue that the recurrence of climate change-related disasters in Southern Africa reflects the lack of skills, knowledge and capabilities among planners to integrate climate change adaptation into urban planning processes. Like any other profession, planning practice is informed by education and training of the graduates, which influences their worldview and ideology that they take into the professional world. This study examines the contribution of planning education to climate change adaptation in Southern Africa, using the case of Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia. Using content analysis of course syllabi in terms of the pedagogy on climate change adaptation, the study identifies the knowledge, skills, and abilities schools impart to planning students. The study reveals that climate change is recognised as a planning dilemma, but it is yet to be integrated into the planning curriculum and is consequently marginalised.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter first explains human rights as a concept of public law and briefly analyzes its legal nature. Second, the chapter outlines the particular challenges this concept presents for the Central Asian countries and their formal education sectors. Treating the concept as a predominantly legal phenomenon, it considers how human rights play into key ideas such as the Rechtsstaat and its crucial elements: rule of law and civil society. Further, it scrutinizes the role of human rights education (HRE) and knowledge dissemination in raising legal awareness and promoting legal culture among the population, a particularly relevant problem for the Central Asian countries. The chapter then proceeds to address issues of disseminating knowledge on human rights, primarily in the formal education sectors and hence public (but also private) higher education institutions that impart legal knowledge in the four main Central Asian countries. Challenges to providing effective formal education in human rights are reviewed, along with local contextual factors in the region (cultural, social, historical, economic, and political) contributing to those challenges. Understanding such factors facilitates the development of potentially useful suggestions and solutions to address these challenges. The latest overview of the current human rights education programs in Central Asia is a crucial basis for this brief analysis. Lastly, the chapter argues in favor of applying a systemic, principled, as well as contextualized approach to improving human rights education efforts in the region.

Abstract:
AbstractThe appropriateness of planning programmes in the Global South, heavily influenced by their colonial pasts and the content developed and taught in universities of the Global North, has been widely questioned. In recent years, contemporary urban challenges, as also highlightedNational Institute of Urban Affairs by the New Urban Agenda, demand that planning education step up and be a core lever of urban transformation. Grappling with legacies from the colonial past on one hand, and looking towards achieving sustainable change in future, where does planning education in post-colonial contexts currently stand? Taking seriously the intent of the programmes, this paper asks two interrelated questions of ten Master’s level planning programmes across Africa and Asia: Who is the programme intended for, and to what end? What are the various forms of knowledge the programme intends to impart, and how? This comparative, qualitative review of planning programmes from across the two regions highlights the similarities and variations in how planning and its education are viewed and approached by different institutions. With the planning discipline currently in a state of flux in post-colonial contexts, this discussion presents an opportunity for learning and innovation through South-South exchanges and partnerships—a critical, yet under-explored area for collaboration when compared with existing North–South knowledge exchange partnerships.

Abstract:
AbstractClimate change is accelerating at a faster rate than previously anticipated, and a significant number of cities remain unprepared for this transition. There is a pressing need to reconsider the approach to the design of public spaces, directing attention towards the development of design concepts that can impart knowledge for adaptation to climate change. Landscape architects, through nature-based solutions, can emerge as key figures capable of regenerating urban spaces. The case study of this research is the city of Copenhagen, which has become the stage of the most innovative experiments to create climate-resilient urban spaces. It is evident that a multidisciplinary and site-specific approach can be the critical components for a successful transition. Such a transition necessitates innovative project management that involves the collaboration of municipalities, private stakeholders, and citizens. Natural-based solutions, through an ecosystem approach, can effectively address the environmental, social, and economic challenges presented by climate change.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Composite materials are often subjected to low velocity impacts, ballistic impacts, or crash impacts. In order to analyze such events, realistic model of the material behavior must be used to capture phenomena no included in linear elastic models. Nonlinear behavior occurs when a unidirectional lamina is loaded in the transverse direction or in shear when the matrix material deforms plastically. The stiffness and strength of composite materials at high strain rates is often very different from what is measured in quasi-static tests. In addition, different types of damage are introduced during impart: matrix cracks, delaminations, fiber failures, fiber-matrix debonding. The introduction of this damage will affect the subsequent behavior of the material. Many different approaches have been taken to account for the effects of strain rate, plasticity and damage on the mechanical behavior of composite materials. The objective of this paper is to assess current knowledge in this area, review and compare models used to describe the stress-strain behavior and predict failure of such materials. Continuum mechanics approaches are used to describe the behavior of laminas with different types of damage, and to model the behavior of interfaces between plies. Phenomenological plasticity models account for the nonlinear effects under transverse and shear loads. Some of these models are shown to be similar even though they were derived by very different approaches. Many accurate analyses of composite structures under impact assume linear elastic behavior and do not considered the complicating effects discussed here. The applicability of the different models for material behavior is also discussed in terms of selecting an appropriate model for analyzing a particular impact.

Abstract:
It can be challenging to effectively impart higher education content to students. We experienced such difficulty in a lecture series with invited senior scientists presenting their area of Biotech research. Instead of a vivid exchange with the expert, we observed limited and restrained student contributions. In qualitative interviews with these students we learned that they perceive their knowledge disparity as too big and the fear of being embarrassed by asking “stupid” questions obstructed their participation. This let us to radically rethink the course design resulting in our own interpretation of flipped classroom, peer learning and student empowerment. We designed an engineering course that focuses on providing master students with the best possible environment to gain theoretical knowledge in a new field within a limited time period (currently: six weeks - six topics) aiming to empower them in these topics by acquiring new knowledge on their own. Based on seed questions and tag words, students conduct background research and create a team presentation for an invited field expert, thereby getting prepared for a subsequent indepth discussion with the expert. The current layout is the product of an iterative process over the course of five years, and several rounds of fine-tuning within each year, based on extensive student and instructor feedback. Students particularly appreciate the positive in-course atmosphere with a focus on growth-mindset, the strong experience in teamwork, being taken seriously, and making contact with field experts and frontiers of current knowledge.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, a comprehensive roadmap is presented that aims to provide an accessible and convenient resource for pre-collegiate students who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The presented roadmap will be an effective guide to the students who are wishing to pursue STEM education independently in preparation for further studies or for personal development, but unsure of the specific activities and skills they require to kickstart them. The road map will also serve as a practical guide for teachers, counselors, and caretakers to guide and inform students interested in STEM tracks. This roadmap covers various recommended activities and courses that impart students with the necessary knowledge, experiences, and skills that are central in STEM studies and careers. An extensive literature review is conducted on various STEM programs from all around the globe that have a high impact on students in their respective fields, along with a recommended grade level for participation in said course/activity. Presented by this paper in each overview section are the individual advantages of each program with reference to skill acquisition, networking opportunities and even possible credits or accreditation detailed. Most of the presented programs are accessible online or in schools and STEM centers in most regions. Students who follow and complete this road map will not only be pre-equipped with the engineering knowledge before joining college but also will improve their position as a candidate for undergraduate or advanced level course selection.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Continuous carbon fiber (CCF) reinforcement has garnered significant attention in 3D printing due to its ability to impart exceptional mechanical performance characteristics to polymer composites. Light-assisted 3D printing of thermoset resin with CCF reinforcement enables the scalable production of complex structures using additive manufacturing. However, the opaqueness of carbon fiber poses challenges to the curing process of thermoset resins during printing with CCF reinforcement. Therefore, knowledge on the minimum light energy required to continue printing while retaining the desired print shape is crucial for designing energy-efficient and successful manufacturing systems. The primary objective of this study was to measure and compare the minimum energy required to continue light-assisted 3D printing of thermoset resin with CCF reinforcement. The study specifically investigated the minimum light energy needed for printing with both an acrylate-based thermoset resin and an epoxy-acrylate resin. Optimized laser irradiation with the appropriate light energy is imperative for achieving scalable production of CCF reinforced composites with minimum energy consumption.

Abstract:
Long-term planning of urban drainage systems is required to prevent pluvial flooding and the effects of droughts. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), e.g., permeable pavements, detention ponds, and rainwater harvesting systems are increasingly used to manage water and build resilience in urban environments. However, the adoption of these solutions remains low due to various socio-institutional barriers. Improving awareness about SUDS and highlighting their multifunctional benefits and trade-offs through an engaging medium could help address these barriers. Serious games provide an immersive and engaging experience that can be used to motivate and impart knowledge or train skills to improve decision-making. The potential of serious games to support the adoption of SUDS has not been investigated so far. This paper presents the proof-of-concept of the serious game UrbanLemma, designed to improve awareness and decision-making of stakeholders about SUDS along with the additional goals of increased engagement and communication among stakeholders. Initial results from play-test sessions conducted with researchers at TU Delft are presented and lessons learned from the game development process are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
This evaluation assesses how well IDB's current mode of engagement meets the needs and expectations of countries that have relatively higher income levels and increasing access to diverse funding sources.For the purpose of this evaluation OVE selected 10 countries as case study countries using three objective indicators: (a) income level, (b) level of access to international financial markets, and (c) the weight of the country in IDB's lending portfolio. The countries, labeled higher middle income countries (HMICs) in this evaluation, are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The evaluation finds that IDB remains a valued and trusted development partner in the vast majority of the HMIC case study countries. It is still financially competitive, even in countries with investment-grade sovereign risk ratings, and is particularly so during times of international turbulence. IDB's counterparts particularly value the following aspects of their cooperation with the Bank: the discipline IDB helps impart to project design and execution, along with capacity building related to project management; the opportunity that IDB provides to learn from other experiences in the Region; the seal of approval that IDB's project financing can help provide through its social, environmental, and fiduciary safeguards; and IDB's ability to facilitate medium-to long-term project continuity across political cycles. However, the evaluation also finds that several aspects require further consideration as IDB moves forward, regarding the usefulness of country strategies; engagement with subnational governments; streamlining of IDB's different private sector windows; fine-tuning of some lending instruments; speed of project preparation and implementation; knowledge creation and sharing; and the introduction of fee-based services. The evaluation provides five recommendations to help IDB strengthen its engagement with High-Middle Income Countries.

Abstract:
By analyzing a novel dataset on publications by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), we shed light on the extent to which the knowledge production of a multilateral development bank can reach its beneficiaries. We find that IDB publications are downloaded mostly in the American continent, with Colombia, Peru, Mexico and the United States leading the ranking. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic downloads of IDB publications increased, both in the world and in Latin America and the Caribbean. Some characteristics of publications are significantly associated with higher numbers of downloads, such as the language of publications: documents in at least two languages or in Spanish only are downloaded more often than documents in English only, suggesting that it is important to disseminate research in the language of the targeted audience. As for the online discussion on the IDB, we find that mentions of the IDB touch different sectors important for development (especially modernization of the state, health, labor markets and financial markets), they increase when a document is published, and also when a loan is approved.

Full text
Abstract:
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has a diverse set of knowledge products: economic and sector work, knowledge products associated with loans, and a variety of non-reimbursable technical cooperation products (TCs) funded by either income from ordinary capital or donor trust funds. With growing emphasis on IDB's capacity to make effective non-financial contributions to its borrowers, there has been substantial focus on how to increase the development impact of TCs. This involves balancing client demand and the institution's own view of country and regional priorities. IDB has struggled to achieve this balance and to put in place supporting systems to manage and monitor TCs effectively. Since 2008 the definition and classification of TCs and guidance on how to manage them has changed almost yearly. The IDB-9 Agreement reflected both a general intention to make this area of IDB's work more effective, and a more specific mandate to look into the possibility of providing fee-based services in the future. This evaluation identified several areas in which there are continuing issues pertaining to TCs, some of which also relate to IDB's knowledge products more generally. First, the strategic alignment between TCs and lending products needs to be strengthened; it has improved somewhat in annual country programs, but needs to be strengthened in the periodic Country Strategies and overall. Second, the management of TCs is complicated by the various constraints imposed on the inter- and intrasectoral allocation of both ordinary capital and donor trust funds, and IDB Management's efforts to find ways to work around these constraints have met with limited success, as evidenced by the substantial under-utilization of available resources. Third, IDB does not have a system for monitoring and reporting on the results of TCs, and this needs to be rectified, given their importance to development effectiveness. Fourth, proposals for fee-based services have been slow to get off the ground, though some progress now appears likely. Finally, the accessibility of reports and studies is a long-standing problem, though Management has recently begun to address this more systematically with the development of a new system for data access.
