Leveraging #Mobile_Phones for Innovative Governance Solutions in #Pakistan
The #Punjab provincial government’s efforts so far include getting direct feedback from 3 million users of public services through #SMS and providing field workers cost-effective #smartphones to track their visits and collect data, including to monitor pests on crops, fighting dengue, and managing waste.
A recently-approved project will scale up these activities using innovative financing that emphasizes results, takes a multi-sectoral approach, and increases transparency and citizen access to information, improving citizen-state relations.
This model of innovative and sophisticated mobile governance is almost unprecedented in the public sector in developing countries, and represents one of the largest-scale attempts to hear from citizens to crack down on corrupt and poor performing officials.

LES POINTS MARQUANTS
Un nouveau rapport sur le climat évalue l’impact d’une hausse de la température de 2 à 4 °C en Afrique, Asie du Sud et Asie du Sud-Est.
Ce document décrit les risques liés à l’agriculture et aux moyens de subsistance en Afrique subsaharienne et à la fluctuation des ressources en eau en Asie du Sud, ainsi que les effets dévastateurs qu’aurait l’élévation du niveau de la mer sur les récifs coraliens en Asie du Sud-Est.
Le rapport insiste sur le fait que les populations les plus pauvres seront les plus vulnérables face au changement climatique.
