Donald Trump apela a la nostalgia
Jonathan Grabinsky mar, 16 de septiembre de 2025, 11:40 p.m. UTC 4 min de lectura Donald Trump, un gurú del branding, aunque de ninguna manera erudito, ha capitalizado el anhelo por un tiempo pasado para construir su capital político, cimentando sus dos administraciones en el lema “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) – en español: “Hagamos que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser grande”.
Supporting women in Zimbabwe in their quest for equal opportunities
As we commemorate International Women's Day on March 8th, embracing this year's theme, "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress", we recognize the global strides made towards gender equality over recent decades. Despite advancements, gender disparities are still deeply woven into the societal and economic tapestry of nations, with inequities often perpetuated within the household.

Ending sectoral gender gaps: At the forefront of the water and sanitation agenda in Angola
Over the last decades, we have seen growing evidence on how gender inequalities unfold in the water and sanitation (WASH) sector. The 2019 World Bank Group (WBG) report Women in Water Utilities: Breaking Barriers found that women experience lower levels of representation in water utilities, and face barriers in accessing equal employment throughout their career trajectory .
Low-income households in Latin America more likely to burden women with responsibilities of fetching water
Co-author: Katie Connolly A recent publication in the health journal The Lancet makes a strong argument for how inequality could be an enabling factor in the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that people living in poverty are more likely to have chronic health conditions and live in close quarters, thus putting them at a higher risk of contagion. Furthermore, they are less likely to have a safety net and access to adequate healthcare services.
Water fetching responsibilities reveal unequal gender dynamics: Elevates need for expansion of on-site WASH facilities
Co-author: Katie Connolly In our previous blog, we outlined how low-income households in Latin America are more likely to burden women with the responsibilities of fetching water, thus exposing a relationship between poverty and gender inequity.
The SDGs, surveys, and the need for additional evidence on Menstrual Hygiene Management
With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came an expansion in the ladder used to measure WASH targets, and an added focus on capturing inequalities in access to services.[1]” A central way in which gender inequalities unfold in the WASH sphere is through the prevalence of a sanitation infrastructure which does not allow women to exercise proper menstrual –hygiene management (MHM).
Many countries rely on private providers for access to water - but blindly embracing these sources as “clean” raises concerns
With the onset of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) agenda, the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP) decided to bump water from private providers up the service ladder.1 The rationale was linked to increases in availability of information on water accessibility, availability and quality2 in developing countries.
COVID outbreaks in Bangladesh take heavy mental health toll on the urban poor
The surge of the Omicron variant has pushed several countries to consider reinstating lockdowns, raising concerns about whether current rates of global vaccination can help curtail the spread of the pandemic. Bangladesh is currently on the ebb of a receding wave with a daily positivity rate hovering over 10 percent.
World Statistics Day: Five key statistics on global access to water, sanitation and hygiene
October 20, 2020 marked World Statistics Day (WSD), which is celebrated once every five years. This year, the theme was “connecting the world with data we can trust,” a topic which spans across several areas of international development.
Tackling the legacy of persistent urban inequality and concentrated poverty
The death of George Floyd and other Black Americans and the uneven impact of COVID-19 have highlighted deep-rooted concerns about racial and urban inequality and segregation in America and the consequences of inequality for families living in persistent poverty. Over the past several years, the research literature pointing to the relationship between racial segregation, enduring concentrated poverty, and long-term socioeconomic inequalities in the United States has been rapidly growing.
Gender and water collection responsibilities - A snapshot of Latin America
With the move from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came an expansion in the ladder used to measure access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).
Building Healthy Neighborhoods
The Building Healthy Neighborhoods series explores the crucial elements to build a culture of health, education and economic mobility in lower-income communities. Discussion papers will review ideas and strategies.
Can rapid urbanization in Africa reduce poverty? Causes, opportunities, and policy recommendations
Sub-Saharan Africa is urbanizing rapidly but remains mostly rural. Already, cities such as Lagos and Kinshasa constitute urban agglomerations of over 10 million residents (“megacities”), while Dar-es-Salaam, Johannesburg, and Luanda are projected to reach that size by 2030. This rapid city growth in sub-Saharan Africa reflects trends across all developing nations. In 1950, most of the world’s largest cities were in rich countries, but by 2015 nearly all were in low-income nations (Figure 1).
The most American city: Chicago, race, and inequality
Yesterday Baltimore, today Chicago, tomorrow—who knows? The spotlight on race, poverty, and policing is swinging from one American city to the next. But at least more attention is now being paid to entrenched racial inequalities in urban areas.

The Anti-Poverty Case for “Smart” Gentrification
Gentrification — the migration of wealthier people into poorer neighborhoods — is a contentious issue in most American cities. Many fear that even if gentrification helps a city in broad terms, for instance by improving the tax base, it will be bad news for low-income residents who are hit by rising rents or even displacement. But this received wisdom is only partially true.
Segregation and concentrated poverty in the nation’s capital
The social mobility gap between black and white Americans has barely narrowed in the last decades, and sharp differences in access to opportunity persist. This racial opportunity gap can, in part, be traced back to the neighborhoods where whites and blacks grow up: research from urban sociologists like Patrick Sharkey and Robert Sampson shows the damaging effects racial segregation and concentrated neighborhood poverty can have on children’s life chances. Washington D.C. is a case in point.
The Anti-Poverty Case for “Smart” Gentrification, Part 2
Poverty is heavily concentrated in a growing number of urban neighborhoods, which as we argued yesterday, is bad news for social mobility. By breaking up semi-permanent poverty patterns, a degree of gentrification can bring in new resources, energy and opportunities.
