  The UNICEF Innovation Fund Portfolio Experience | UNICEF Office of Innovation 

This packed week includes meeting the UNICEF team that will be working with them throughout the year, one-on-one mentoring sessions with business, communications, and technical specialists, as well as cohort sessions on product development, building diverse teams, and open source software dev. (...) Given that the Fund focuses on investing in Digital Public Goods, it is important to ensure products offer open source software, open data, open AI models, open standards and open content when possible. The business mentorship takes place over 3-5 months and concentrates on topics that ensure the product’s market readiness. “We received key recommendations from UNICEF’s mentors to open source originally private software, and the exposure generated by being open source improved the code quality compared to the original version.”

  DISCUSSION PAPER SER

Second, we provide a model of product- based cultural change. Our main theoretical predictions are: (i) bilateral trade openness reduces bilateral cultural distance; (ii) the more differentiated the products, the more trade reduces cultural distance; (iii) trade openness has a lock-in effect on culture. (...) We nd evidence for a sizeable causal impact of bilateral trade openness on cultural distance. Decomposing trade ows into three categories, we next show that the impact of trade on culture is driven by trade in di¤erentiated products and by trade in cultural goods; trade in homogenous goods having no e¤ect. (...) First, it reinforces the prediction in Proposition 2 that the more di¤erentiated the products, the more trade openness weakens local cultural types X and X.

  Papua New Guinea Opens Medicines Quality Control Laboratory

However, ensuring access to medicines must also guarantee quality and safety of medical products. WHO's Global Surveillance and Monitoring System for substandard and falsified medical products has published a report in 2017 that estimates a 10.5% failure rate in all medical products used in low- and middle-income countries. (...) Not only is this a waste of money for individuals and the whole health system, poor quality medical products can also cause serious illness or even death. (...) The NDOH Medicine Quality Surveillance Framework for practical and risk-based sampling and testing of pharmaceutical products was also finalized in consultation with various stakeholders.
