Citywide Inclusive Sanitation: How Can Resourcing Be Managed Effectively?
Introduction:
This publication forms part of a series looking at Citywide Inclusive Sanitation in terms of three closely related requirements for achieving safe, inclusive and sustainable urban sanitation: clear responsibility, strong accountability, and fit-for-purpose resource planning and management (Figure 1). Responsibility defines what entity has a mandate to deliver a service. Accountability mechanisms are then required to make sure that mandated responsibilities are fulfilled. Effective resource planning and management are required to so that mandated entities are sufficiently resourced to be able to fulfil their mandate. These three functions(responsibility, accountability, resource planning and management) are introduced in three short initial publications released in May 2021. This paper is one of three complementary publications that explain these functions in more detail, on the basis of specific case studies: this publication focuses on resource planning and management.

Quality Management
Introduction:
This study guide is designed to provide an overview of the key elements, important historical context and current debates in the field of Quality Management. It aims to give a coherent view of the underlying principles of quality management, and how these relate to practical application in a range of organizations. The tools and techniques which support the principles are not covered in detail in this guide, More information on these can be found in the companion guide: “Six Sigma: Principles and Practices” also available at Bookboon.com. The guide starts with a development of the theory in each area and then provides a contex tualisation which considers what the theory might mean for organizational practice. Due to the complexity of many of the issues addressed, it is possible to write much more on any single topic, but I have tried to cover most of the key points in order to provide a foundation, and further literature linked from the text allows the reader to investigate any topic in more depth if they wish. Finally, at the end of each chapter there are a number of questions for you to develop your thinking in the area.

Artificial Intelligence In Emerging Markets Opportunities, Trends, And Emerging Business Models
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is changing business and society in ways that would have been unimaginable only a few years ago. Its full potential has yet to be realized—the way we gather information, make products, interact with businesses, and access products and services are all evolving. In emerging markets, AI offers an opportunity to reach the underserved by lowering costs and barriers to entry for entrepreneurs and businesses, creating innovative business models,
and leapfrogging traditional technologies. Private sector solutions lie at the heart of ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity, and AI is and will remain an integral part of that process. But much more can be done. This report explores the role of AI in emerging markets and developing
countries—both across and within key sectors—both today and in the future. It also examines the issue of gender bias, and how Big Data can advance, rather than impede, equality. If managed well, AI solutions will expand opportunities and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
