Mayoral strategy on vocational training and employment (2007)
websitebuilder-hub • Jan 22, 2018
In 2007 OpenCities developed evidence base for new Mayoral strategy on vocational training and employment for London resulting in new orientation for public spend on adult education.
OpenCities was hired by the London Development Agency to lead the development of a city-wide adult vocational skills strategy on behalf of the Mayor of London. Working with an employer-led skills and employment commission comprising some of London's largest businesses, as well as a team of researchers from GLA Economics, OpenCities helped the LDA produce a strategy and supporting evidence base aimed at tailoring national vocational policy to the specific needs of Londoners.
Prior to this OpenCities represented the Thames Gaateway sub-regional partnership in its submission to the Examination in Public of the London Plan. OpenCities MD Marc Stephens had previously also led the production of LEST, the London Employment and Skills Taskforce report, that set out and remained the fundamental agenda for the achievement of social legacy benefits from the London Olympic Games. He was also the principal author of the Major's second London Economic Strategy in 2004.

CPFs help to ensure that the World Bank's country driven model is systematic, evidence-based, selective, and focused on ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. CPFs lay out the main country development goals that WBG aims to help the country achieve, and propose a selective program of indicative WBG interventions for this purpose. More specific CPF objectives are derived from these country development goals. These are then used to monitor the program during the CPF cycle and evaluate it at the end. Performance and Learning Reviews (PLRs) are prepared mid-way through the CPF cycle. PLRs identify and capture lessons, and determine midcourse corrections in the CPF objectives and program of interventions.
The goal of GRP is to help communities in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, South Asia and South East Asia to better adapt to climatic shocks and thrive in a more resilient future. GRP brokers partnerships and investment opportunities between private, public and not-for-profit bodies around the globe and local communities in vulnerable communities.
