The Other Hundred is a unique photo-book project aimed as a counterpoint to the Forbes 100 and other media rich lists by telling the stories of people around the world who are not rich but who deserve to be celebrated. Its 100 photo-stories move beyond the stereotypes and clichés that fill so much of the world’s media to explore the lives of people whose aspirations and achievements are at least as noteworthy as any member of the world’s richest 1,000. Selected from 11,000 images shot in 158 countries and submitted by nearly 1,500 photographers, The Other Hundred celebrates those who will never find themselves on the world’s rich lists or celebrity websites.

There is an increasingly important need to deliver quality care services to the ageing population in China. In part due to the one-child policy and pension schemes in different parts of China, many elderly do not have the financial capabilities to acquire the services they sorely need. The partner for this programme was Hetong Association, one of China’s leading elderly homes and services provider. The participants were tasked with producing strategic recommendations for Hetong’s expansion plans and transition from a non-profit organisation into a social enterprise. Our pre-programme research it includes an overview of the issues faced by Chinese elderly and the state of elderly care in China. In addition it includes information on Hetong’s operations and history, including their involvement in the aftermath of the Sichuan Earthquake of 2008. This business plan proposes the setup of a new commercial company, Hetong China Holdings (HCH), and to start a new showcase elderly care facility in Shenzhen. ]]>

In Oct 2010, GIFT collaborated with International Development Enterprises (IDE) to write a plan for the production and sales of low-cost household hand washing devices in rural Vietnam. This was part of the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Programme (WSP) behaviour change initiative to promote handwashing with soap as a way to improve health and hygiene. During the field visit, participants worked closely with the Vietnam Women’s Union (WU), one of the largest and most influential government mass organisations in Vietnam. The programme research covers the current hygiene and sanitation conditions in rural Vietnam, the socio-economic importance of handwashing and why it is crucial for rural communities in developing countries to incorporate this as part of a healthy lifestyle.]]>

0 Postharvest Solutions for Cambodian Rice Sector, Nov 2013 /slideshow/2013-cambodia-postharvest/30603732 2013cambodiapostharvest-140129203153-phpapp01
The Cambodian economy is heavily dependent on rice farming, which accounts for nearly 1/3 of its total agricultural production and utilises 80 percent of cultivated land. In 2012, only 200,000 tons of paddy, out of 9.3 million tons produced, were officially exported. Cambodian rice was awarded Best Rice of the Year in 2012 and 2013 at the Rice Trader World Rice Conference. There is high potential for surplus paddy to be processed into quality milled rice for export which would increase the value of harvests to farmers and to contribute to the government’s target: to increase rice exports to 1 million tons by 2015. The current fragmented rice value chain encourages informal exports of unprocessed paddy to Vietnam and Thailand and a loss of value for the economy. Traditional methods of drying and storage prevent farmers from selling their produce at a higher price during the off season when most millers have 30-40 percent idle capacity. A more consistent supply of quality paddy is needed throughout the year. To address these issues, 25 executives from BASF and from 17 nationalities travelled to Phnom Penh and Battambang to explore the opportunities to strengthen the post-harvest value chain in the rice sector in Cambodia. After meeting key stakeholders, a compelling new social business was proposed to provide farming communities with professional post-harvest services, quality agricultural inputs and training. ]]>

Participants of GIFT’s second open programme in 2009 spent eight days working on site with the Pohan Farmer’s Association (PFA) in order to develop a plan for the association to convert from conventional to organic cotton production and access new markets for their products. Cotton is among the dirtiest crops, using about 25 per cent of the world’s insecticides and 10 per cent of the world’s pesticides. Organic cotton production has the advantage of promoting soil fertility, and also allows for diverse agriculture while keeping human contact with toxic chemicals to a minimum. The briefing note also discusses the challenges facing rural farmers in China, such as environmental deterioration and inefficiencies of small scale farming.]]>

In the agricultural sectors of emerging economies such as India, capital is king. It dictates power and ownership and therefore providers of capital capture the lion’s share of surpluses created in agribusiness value chains. Now a new investment model which employs Participative Capital is challenging the status quo. The concept was developed by community-led initiative Just Change, and is the first plan of its kind which links producers, consumers and investors to ensure more equitable and sustainable economic systems. This participatory model allows for investments to be made in a manner where ownership, benefit and risk are shared by all participants. In November 2011, 25 executives from 12 countries representing 15 organisations spent a week in India to produce a viable plan for Just Change to operationalise Participative Capital. This diverse group was comprised of emerging leaders from countries including Japan, India, Nigeria, and Malaysia nominated by global companies such as FedEx, BASF, NEC, Orix and Infosys.

In the agricultural sectors of emerging economies such as India, capital is king. It dictates power and ownership and therefore providers of capital capture the lion’s share of surpluses created in agribusiness value chains. Now a new investment model which employs Participative Capital is challenging the status quo. The concept was developed by community-led initiative Just Change, and is the first plan of its kind which links producers, consumers and investors to ensure more equitable and sustainable economic systems. This participatory model allows for investments to be made in a manner where ownership, benefit and risk are shared by all participants.

n February 2011, as part of the 18th Global Young Leaders Programme (YLP) a team of 21 international executives spent 9 days in Jianshi county, Hubei province, working to provide the county government with strategic recommendations for the five-year development plan of an integrated farmers association. Coming from Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Ghana and Colombia the group worked in partnership with the Consulting Centre for Farmers’ Associations (CCFA) and the Integrated Farmers’ Association of Heshuiping Region (IFAH). The latter association was established under the Integrated Rural Development and Governance Pilot Programme Office of the county government. After three decades of unprecedented economic expansion, this next phase of China’s development is as much a concern for the rest of the world as it is for the country itself. The challenge for China is to promote sustained economic development among its rural population and accelerate the reduction of poverty to incentivise productive workers to remain or return to a newly vibrant countryside. The business model articulated by the group and the associated rural governance principles contain elements that can be applied in other parts of China. The hope is that the pilot programme in Heshuiping, which was written initially to cover the production of fragrant rice and pig rearing, will be able to guide farmers into other areas of agricultural production, but more importantly give them the confidence to leverage the rich diversity of resources in the Jianshi area. ]]>
