Information and Communication Technology is now widely accepted by developing countries as a development tool in their efforts to alleviate poverty, enhance human development, and achieve Millennium Development Goals. Recognizing this untapped potential and development strategies incorporating ICT are being increasingly promoted and launched across the developing countries requiring a comprehensive ICT policy that plays a crucial rule, in particular, in the area of agriculture and rural development. While the potential advantages of ICT for development are enormous in developed countries, national policies of developing countries are yet to adequately reflect truly comprehensive and integrated strategies for harnessing and exploiting this potential. This paper tries to provide implication of ICT policy to the agriculture and rural development in developing countries, in particular through lessons learned from European Union (EU) IT policy. Through the examination of vital projects in the agriculture and rural development sectors and case study analysis of applied policies and strategies implemented in the European Union, this paper provides tangible examples and lessons for policy-makers and practitioners involved in the field. Hence, this study provides policy-makers the necessary tools, information and knowledge to facilitate the formulation and adoption of ICT policies and strategies in the agriculture and rural development sector.

The objective of this study is to examine and provide guidelines for regional governments, communities, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty-reduction activities that are more effective, efficient, and targeted. Besides, this research's specific aims are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimization of potential sources of local income, 2) increasing per-capita income, and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and social-economic inequality of the community. The study was conducted in North Morowali District, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, in 2018-2019. The research approach used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. Data sources include sources from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Regional Statistics. The results of this study are based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) indicators that there are four priority scales in poverty reduction, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV). Therefore, as a solution to poverty alleviation strategies, the cost approach through regional economic optimization and local income sources and community empowerment factors are essential. Apart from that, the involvement between elements (government, organizations, society, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize poverty reduction can be optimally overcome.

The children of sex workers in Bangladesh are denied even the most basic human rights. This article is based on recent research focused on the children of sex workers in the context of their everyday lives. The study focused on access to education and how education could be a vehicle for them to break the vicious cycle of exploitation. This was a mixed method interpretative study which employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, but in this paper only qualitative data which was generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions is used. Data was collected from sex workers, their children, teachers and NGO workers who participated in the study. Information has been collected for analysing the expectation of the children of sex workers and hope for the future, and the opportunities available to them during their schooling. Thematic analysis technique was used to understand the challenges and barriers faced by the children of sex workers in fulfilling their educational aspirations. The lives of the children of sex workers are marginalised by the mainstream society. Though it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle of exploitation, this research finds that education may be a stepping stone for them to create a better future. However, it is argued that the children of sex workers need income generating vocational and technical education to enable them to earn and support their family. Policy recommendations have been made in order to achieve Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals, and to provide a second chance for these vulnerable young people to have a better life.

The United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDG) has become a goal to create a sustainable life. The MDGs' target was to be achieved in 2015, but it missed that date. The MDGs' target has turned into a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030 The SDGs require financial support from companies. Funds are one of the resources to implement the SDGs. Government and private companies need to cooperate in achieving the SDGs target. The company has a responsibility to implement corporate social responsibility. The company's corporate social responsibility is part of the implementation of sustainable development in the SDGs. One of the essential industries that have responsibility for SDGs is the financial industry. This study aims to examine the determinant of corporate social responsibility funds in financial institutions in ASEAN countries. This study uses panel data to test the determinant variables on CSF provision. This study uses 45 sustainable development reports from 2015-2019. The total number of banks in the sample came from three countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

본 연구는 인간안보 개념의 분석적 엄격성과 실천적 유용성의 문제를 MDGs 사례를 통해서 살펴보고자 한다. 인간안보가 21세기적 안보과제들을 이해하는데 있어서 유용한 안보 개념 틀로 발전하기 위해서는 개념적 엄격성과 실천적 유용성을 더욱 높여야하는 과제를 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인간안보의 다양한 위협요인들 사이의 관계를 재정립하고 난 뒤, 빈곤을 인간안보의 근본적 위협으로 간주함으로써 인간안보의 인과적 가설의 단순화 및 개념적 엄격성을 추구하였다. 또한 인간안보의 실천적 유용성을 높이기 위해 유엔 MDGs의 효과적 달성을 위한 글로벌 거버넌스 창출 문제를 심층적으로 검토하였다. 인간안보를 위한 글로벌 거버넌스는 지구적인 정치적 대표성, 정책결정의 효율성, 민주성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 지구적 정치적 대표성을 위해 새로운 최고의사결정기구로서 가칭 "개발을 위한 정상회의" 창설하고, 민주성 확보를 위해 국가/정부, 국제기구, NGO들 사이에 동반자적 협력관계가 구축하고, 정책결정의 효율을 위해서 국제기구들 사이의 통합적 협력체제를 구축하여 개발업무의 효과성을 제고하여야 한다고 주장하고 있다.

Little attempt has been made to empirically investigate the effects of childhood poverty on children's educational attainments and their everyday life in Bangladesh. Quality education is a prominent aspiration in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but there are few studies of school improvement in relation to the educational achievement of disadvantaged children living in rural Bangladesh. This article offers a theoretical understanding of childhood poverty and educational exclusion, building on the empirical research carried out in two rural areas to explore the following questions: Why do so many socio-economically disadvantaged children tend to dropout from formal secondary school? and Why do some succeed? After exploring the challenges of childhood poverty and educational exclusion, it shows how the challenges could be mitigated through attention to the ecology of human development in the contexts of individual children. Complex ways in which efforts can be made to tackle the challenges of childhood poverty are influenced by ecological factors within the context of the study. Recommendations for policy and practice are offered based on the findings to improve formal secondary schooling for socio-economically disadvantaged children in Bangladesh.

ODA란 개발도상국 빈곤층을 대상으로 인간의 기본권을 지키려는 국제사회의 노력과 행동이다. UN은 현재 2030년까지의 개발목표로 SDGs를 설정하였다. SDGs에서는 기존 ODA의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 개념을 확장하고 공공부문과 민간부문이 협력하여 다양한 재원을 조달함으로서 ODA와 그 범위를 넘어서는 개발원조까지 포괄하고 있으며, 이에 적합한 개념이 촉진적 원조이다. 촉진적 원조에 의한 개발협력은 인도주의적 원조 보다는 경제 인프라 및 생산시설 등 경제 발전의 기반을 구축하여 수원국의 지속가능한 개발을 지원하는 사업이다. 본 연구에서는, 한국의 경험과 현재의 역량을 토대로 KSP를 연계하여 민관협력사업 발굴, 집중지원 대상국의 선정 및 원조배분 원칙의 명확화, 사업 특성에 맞는 유·무상 원조의 유연한 적용, SPC 설립에 의한 CSV의 실현 및 이를 종합적으로 이끌어 갈 PCSD 체제의 구축을 제안하였다.

Despite the most severe weather and geological conditions, Korean people in earlier times were successful in maintaining sustainable water supplies because they understood the importance of rainwater management, and developed technologies and a philosophy which were needed to live under such circumstances. Recently, the Korean people have suffered frequent incidence of flood damage and drought, and have gradually started to remind themselves of the lessons of the past, which can be described as proactive, multipurpose rainwater management. Most of the problems associated with water and energy can be solved by the integration of rainwater management practices. The concept of multipurpose rainwater management and two examples of its practice are discussed. One is a design for a multipurpose rainwater tank which has been used in a building project, and is based on Korean philosophy. Secondly, a regulation was promulgated recently in Seoul that requires the building of rainwater tanks in new buildings over a certain size. The primary purpose is for the prevention of flooding, but water conservation is a secondary intention. Two examples of proactive rainwater management are discussed, one being public involvement in rainwater management, and the second being the rainwater piggy bank microcredit project. In order to maintain sustainability, to meet the requirements of the Millennium Development Goals, and to be prepared for the effects of climate change, it is expected that multipurpose and proactive rainwater management will be a very effective approach for both developing countries and developed countries. A worldwide network of scientific researchers, as well as a great number of professions, has suggested the promotion of rainwater management.
