Set Up

The first in Europe - There is archival evidence suggesting that the Hilton Hotels Corporation had been looking for a project in Europe for a while (see Exhibit 2.1). The company was, by the end of the War, strongly represented from coast to coast in the United States and could have easily been considered a leader in luxury hospitality sector there. With the opening of the Caribe Hilton, the International division of the company was initiated, and Hilton was prepared to venture out further. Strand (1996) recalls that the main Hilton International’s development goal was to operate in Europe, as this was where they saw the greatest potential in terms of both business and leisure travel. Also, it appears that it was in American foreign policy’s interest to strategically distribute American businesses’ foreign direct investment on the Old Continent. Allegedly, the Economic Cooperation Administration, a US government agency set up to administer the Marshall Plan, contacted Hilton Hotels in the early 1950s to announce that the ECA was “very anxious to increase first class accommodations in several of the capitals of Europe” and, to fulfil this potential, was willing to provide both loan guarantees and capital to encourage construction. Having such an encouragement, Hilton could look for an appropriate project opportunity. What was certain, was that the hotel would need to be located in one of the capital cities and would be constructed using mainly local funding.

BackgroundPoor countries carry 90% of the global burden of disease, with access to only 10% of globally available health research funding and technical capacity. Fragile south–south collaborations hinder effective use of limited resources, career opportunities and funding to retain the insufficiently available quality scientists. The Rwanda Health System established a clinical research network involving academia, non-governmental organisations and private sector to accelerate generation of talented scientists, create enabling environment and incentives to retain scientists by establishing a local funding model.MethodsBased on a baseline assessment, potential clinical trial units were mapped and developed through adoption of a Clinical trial management training model from European Universities. The Rwandan law on Public Private Partnership was leveraged to attract and engage local and international private players in a win-win approach. So far, countries such as Kenya and Sweden were engaged in the roadmap.ResultsFrom 2014 to date, a total of 285 scientists are trained on various clinical research components: Good Clinical Practice (28%), Research Grant writing (14%), systematic review and meta-analysis (9%) and scientific communication (8.7%). Ten Clinical Research Units and one centre for evidence-based healthcare were established. So far 13 health investigator-initiated projects in malaria, metabolic disorders and maternal health were funded through the local funding model. A process to empower six malaria sentinel sites into fully functioning clinical research sites is underway.ConclusionThe creation of strong networks of excellence for’clinical research among southern academic, research institutions and pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical industry is a promising strategic approach to promote sustainable clinical research capacity. The government vision is that beyond national boundaries, resource sharing and involvement of private players are key factors to mitigate the high burden of disease, nationally and regionally.

Every Student Succeeds Act

Ongoing federal efforts support equalizing access to experienced educators for low-income students and students of color, thereby narrowing the “teacher experience gap.” I show that while high-poverty and high-minority schools have larger class sizes and receive less funding nationally, school districts allocate resource equitably, on average, across schools. However, the least experienced teachers are still concentrated in high-poverty and high-minority schools, both across and within districts. I then show that additional state and local funding is associated with more equitable district resource allocation. The study offers recommendations for state and federal education policy related to the Every Student Succeeds Act.

The Impact

The purpose of the article is to analyze the financial situation of rural «Prosvit» on the territory of the Right Bank of Ukraine in 1920–1922. On the basis of mainly archival materials, the authors find out the problems and achievements of educators in financial activities, the influence of the Soviet regime on it, its consequences. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific methods (comparison, generalization, analysis) with interdisciplinary (structural-system method). The main methods during the preparation of the publication were historical-comparative, synchronous, statistical. The application of these methods helped to clarify the whole set of aspects related to the scientific problem. The scientific novelty of the work is that using the methods of analysis of historical documents, the authors analyze the impact of the financial situation of educational societies on their cultural and educational work in the first years of the Soviet regime. For the first time in Ukrainian historiography the peculiarities of the financial activity of rural «Prosvit», its role in the formation and development of societies are clarified. Conclusions. The financial activity of the rural «Prosvits» of the Right Bank of Ukraine in 1920–1922 is an important component of their functioning. It determined the development of societies as well as the cultural and educational level of the peasants. «Prosvit's» financial activities were significantly influenced by local conditions and state aid. The educators organized various events to increase their budget and spend money only when needed. The financial activities of the rural «Prosvit» were under the total control of the Soviet regime. When the regime's attempts to turn educational institutions into «pocket» organizations became apparent, they were transferred to local funding and liquidated.

Purposive Sample

Local governments play an important role in the economic and social development of local services provided to localities. In Jordan, local governments face problems and challenges that impede this development. The purpose of this descriptive study is to investigate the magnitude of challenges faced by local governments using a random sample (251) of mayors and heads of provincial governorates. Qualitative methods with a purposive sample employing twenty in-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted to identify the major challenges. After analyzing data using the SPSS, the study pointed out that the lack of financial resources and the lack of independence of local government in managing local funding is another major challenge. The study revealed that environmental protection was the biggest challenge. Responsiveness and public participation are other challenges faced by local governments. Based on the study results, the recommendation and provision of centralized technical assistance are required to maintain environmental protection. However, capacity building for local employees is a must. The critical financial position of local governments needs to be addressed by re- evaluating the share of funds allocated to local units.
