This summative evaluation's objective is to evaluate the degree to which Jordan's National Anticorruption Strategy (JNACS) effectively and sustainably achieves its objectives in the war against corruption, with particular reference to the Anticorruption Commission (JACC). This evaluation analyzes certain indicators and methods used to combat corruption in the public service. This evaluation considers the before and after approach. Preimplementation and postimplementation periods were compared using trend analysis to show the difference between preimplementation and postimplementation of JNACS from 2013 to 2017. A line chart and interrupted time series were used to display trends over time, and the Wilcoxon signed test was utilized. Our summative evaluation findings are mainly structured by the evaluation criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance. These findings illustrate the difficulty and challenge of making progress in the war against corruption in Jordan. This evaluation has indicated that JNACS (2013–2017) was ineffective in strengthening the capacity of the JACC; promoting investigation, prosecution, and court proceedings of corruption; and enhancing international cooperation in the anticorruption field. The task of this agency is challenging due to the broad definition of corruption and the increasing demand for its services within a very complicated operational environment. As a result, our summative evaluation makes some policy recommendations after numerous arguments regarding the subject matter.

In May 2017 in Ecuador, the government of Rafael Correa handed over the presidency after 10 years and several mandates. His administration established the redefinition of the constitutional bases: the buen vivir cultural development and policy approach with a new transformative educational policy that sought to contribute to inclusion, overcoming inequalities, and poverty. His government benefited from high oil and commodity prices and broad popular support. This research has set out to review the results of the official national survey ENEMDU completed in December 2017. With a descriptive, bivariate, and multidimensional quantitative data analysis, we sought to shed light on the correlations between subjective poverty associated with buen vivir, school conditions, and ICT access and use of the school population in 2017. Results indicate a critical flaw in the buen vivir policies that failed to achieve their most valued and declared objective with indigenous and rural populations.

This article examines the effect of unemployment, laborer education, type of employment, gender, off-farm worker vulnerability, investment, and industrialization levels on poverty in districts/cities in Sumatra, Indonesia. The study was conducted in 154 districts/cities in Sumatra from 2013 to 2018. Using a panel data regression model, this study found that laborer education, type of employment, gender, and industrialization level positively affected the poverty rate. By comparison, relatively higher levels of worker vulnerability and investment negatively influenced poverty. Unemployment rates did not influence poverty significantly. The policy recommendation for poverty alleviation, therefore, is the creation of jobs in sectors outside of agriculture, especially in the processing industry and service sectors, coupled with improving the quality of workers' performance through skill training. The study contributes to the literature on poverty reduction by providing insight into how labor factors, investment, and industrialization influence poverty.

Scholars have long debated formalizing the informal sector through taxation, but how do these processes affect gender inequalities? Our study in Nigerian markets contributes a gender framework to the equitable taxation literature on formalization. The study draws on a survey of 451 traders in 12 markets, key informant interviews, and ethnographic research in four markets of two states. We find that in at least two situations taxation policies discriminated against women implicitly: (1) male tax collectors had higher incidences of harassment on all traders and (2) taxing traders with flat taxes penalized women, as they earned less than men but were taxed the same.

Abstract COVID‐19 has caused economic hardship globally. Several economies are making efforts to cushion these negative effects. Following the lockdown and downward trend of global oil prices, the Nigerian economy has been hard hit. This paper sheds light on policy actors' views vis‐à‐vis what should be the economic policy response of the Nigerian government to cushion the effects of COVID‐19 and ensure quick economic recovery. A multistage random sampling method was used to select and interview 635 policy actors drawn from academia/research institutes, civil society organizations, development partners, international NGOs, national NGOs, the private sector, and the public sector. The study adopted a participatory development approach. Descriptive and deductive analysis methods were used. The results support direct cash transfers to households, and small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) as the policy option that would have huge impact in mitigating the economic effects of COVID‐19 in Nigeria. The second most recommended policy option is the eradication of corruption among government officials. The paper recommends that pragmatic actions towards eradicating corrupt practices among government officials should be an integral part of any economic recovery policy in Nigeria and other emerging economies.
