Insights Into Urban Informal Workers and Their Health
Over the past century, The Rockefeller Foundation has remained true to the pursuit of health access for all mankind. We have helped to build and develop schools of medicine and public health, contributed to new medicines and treatments that helped cure patients and advanced the field of health. Our long history has given the foundation a unique place in the field of global health. We have the ability and privilege to convene great minds, catalyze new initiatives, identify new opportunities and increase global health and wellbeing.
Long-Term Unemployment
Long‐term unemployment has reached historic highs in the United States in recent years. Currently, nearly 40 percent of unemployed workers have been out of work for six months or longer, compared to a high of 25 percent in the 1980s recession. Lengthy periods of joblessness profoundly affect the economic and social resilience of workers and their families. Long‐term unemployment erodes assets, diminishes reemployment possibilities and significantly reduces lifetime wages. Additionally, the longterm unemployed face higher rates of family instability, mental and physical health problems.
Suburban Poverty in the United States
Suburban poverty affects over 16.4 million people across the U.S. and is growing rapidly, significantly outpacing the growth rate of urban poverty over the last decade (64% vs. 29%). Experts suggest that the problem of suburban poverty is “the new normal.” While the basic needs of the poor in the suburbs are similar to those of the urban poor (e.g. education inequity, poor access to quality healthcare etc.), there are some critical systemic differences (e.g. limited transportation options, jurisdictional challenges etc.). These challenges are further exacerbated by the lack of awareness and understanding of the problem and
potential solutions.

Service design is a relatively young discipline, dating back to the late 1990s, and even more so in Asia, where it began emerging around 2008-2009. As an emerging field that is drawing more and more interest, service design is not fully understood by both private and public institutions.
Agenda Suramerica January 2013
Our first issue of 2013 starts with three important topics that are recently receiving much attention,
but whose consequences and dynamics are difficult to grasp. These three topics deserve another
look because the visibility of some events may hinder what are their actual potential in the future.
Our first article is about various countries in the South American region organizing macro-events
in order to attract tourist and promote their service sector —where a great portion of informal jobs
and precariousness exist. Governments are investing heavily in creating infrastructure and giving
all the support that the private sector needs to organize successful events. Nevertheless, these
events are just the tip of the iceberg: governments may be losing the opportunity of having a wave
of tourist in the next ten years in order to extend benefits to a vast group of informal workers that
depend on services that tourist demand, such as retailing, restaurants, and tours, among others.
Climate change is making things worse for vulnerable population in South American countries.
Nevertheless, the rhetoric at negotiation tables still refers to the time when the Kyoto Protocol was
being designed. Such clear division of responsibilities between developed and developing countries
simply cannot hold in a post-Kyoto world. It is now that such divisions are becoming a
insurmountable barrier to reach an agreement. Nevertheless, such divisions of interests, goals and
coalitions has roots in the growing diversity of countries in the region, but they cannot be a pretext
for not reaching a shared criteria to deal with global negotiations about climate change.
Participation was, two decades ago, the flavor of the month in development policies. Giving power
to people in democracies was a correct strategy to improve social services and design public
policies. Nevertheless, the growing gap between the political discourse on what participation can
potentially bring and what actually achieves in most localities is giving ammunition to some
authorities to reverse participatory processes. Again, cities need to be creative, not only by
improving consultations with alternative techniques to reach people that has been reluctant to
participate, but also by improving their internal bureaucratic processes to become more responsive
and open to citizens’ preferences.

Health Vulnerabilities of Informal Workers
Informal workers face significant health risks due to employment insecurity and lack of access to affordable healthcare. They number over 1.8 billion worldwide, or 60% of the global workforce. Informal workers experience higher rates of illness and injury because their jobs often involve unsafe conditions and provide little social protection. While some countries and organizations have begun programs to expand healthcare access and coverage, informal workers remain a highly vulnerable population given the diversity of their needs and lack of systematic data about their health and employment conditions.
The 2014 Bellagio Creative Arts Fellows
The Bellagio Creative Arts Fellows program is a selective award that recognizes visual artists working on projects related to social or global issues. It provides artists with a two-month fully-funded residency at the Bellagio Center to advance their innovative work. During their residency, Fellows interact with and learn from a community of scholars, writers, policymakers, and other artists. The goal is to help raise the international visibility of contemporary visual artists and their work addressing important issues.
Big Data, Communities and Ethical Resilience: A Framework for Action
This document presents a framework for using big data and technology to build community resilience in an ethical manner. It discusses six key domains: 1) Ethics, which should guide all projects to enhance individual agency and avoid harm, 2) Governance, to ensure community interests are prioritized, 3) Science, to properly test hypotheses and avoid false correlations, 4) Technology, which enables data collection but can create vulnerabilities, 5) Place, to consider local context, and 6) Sociocultural context, to understand community values and power structures. The framework aims to safeguard against failures by addressing weaknesses from the start through considering all six domains together.
Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities
Urban transportation is undergoing massive change and expansion, especially in the developing world. The rapid growth of cities is driving demand for better urban transportation and many cities are set to invest heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the needs of low-income households are often overlooked in the selection, design, and service decisions related to these investments. According to the World Bank, urban public transportation systems disproportionately disadvantage the urban poor and vulnerable, especially in cities in the developing world.
Meanwhile, innovative business and service models are emerging that are disrupting the established transportation systems in cities by taking advantage of open data, the Internet and mobile telephony. Services such as bike share, ZipCar®, Waze®, Hopstop®, and Uber® are reducing consumption and reconfiguring the relationship between modes, users, and providers of transportation. These new approaches improve urban transportation by making it more efficient, dependable, and sustainable.
As Susan Zielinski of the University of Michigan’s SMART Initiative puts it, “Transportation is at a crossroads. In response to rapid urbanization, shifting demographics, and other pressing social, economic, and environmental factors, cities and regions are shifting investment dollars from single mode infrastructure to multi-mode, multi-service, IT-enabled door-to-door systems… innovations and opportunities (are going) beyond the bounds of the traditional transportation industry.”
Collectively referred to as the emerging New Mobility sector, this innovative industry sector provides a key opportunity to build more inclusive cities and more resilient communities.
Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities is an exploratory effort focused on identifying innovative business and service models that are beneficial to the urban poor, both as users and providers of urban transportation.The primer briefly summarizes and showcases some of the hallmark innovations that are challenging the status quo in rapidly growing cities in the developing world.
Managing Famine Risk: Linking Early Warning to Early Action
Recurrent food crises are one of the principal impediments to development in the Horn and Sahel regions of Africa. In 2011, a drought-related emergency affected over 12 million people in the Horn – the fourth such event since the turn of the millennium. Precise numbers are unavailable, but estimates indicate that hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and tens of thousands more died. A year later, 18 million people were affected by a major crisis in the Sahel – the third to hit the region in eight years.
Food crises are slow-onset disasters. They emerge over a period of months and are routinely tracked and anticipated by famine early warning systems – specialist units that monitor and forecast risk factors such as food prices, health indicators, rainfall and crop production. These systems provide governments and humanitarian actors with the chance to take early action and prevent the situation from escalating into an emergency. Cost-benefit analyses indicate that, compared with emergency response, early action offers significant cost savings in the long run.
Yet all too often the link between early warning and early action fails and the opportunity to mitigate a gathering crisis is lost. This disconnect was starkly apparent in Somalia during 2010/11, when increasingly urgent early warnings accumulated for 11 months before famine was finally declared in July. Only after that did the humanitarian system mobilize.
Beginning with the failures that allowed the Somalia famine to take place and drawing on the recent history of other early warnings, this report considers in detail the various political, institutional and organizational barriers to translating early warning of famine into early action to avert it, and makes recommendations for how these can be overcome.
Scaling Mobile for Development: Harness the Opportunity
The document summarizes key findings from a report on scaling mobile technology for development. Some of the main points include:
- Mobile phone access in developing regions has grown rapidly, with around 40% of people subscribing to services. Over 50% have access to a mobile even if they don't own one.
- Network coverage remains a challenge, especially in rural areas, though 2G coverage is widespread. Smartphone ownership is still low at under 10% overall.
- The mobile for development sector has grown to over 1,000 live services but scaling remains a challenge. Business models are shifting from reliance on donors to more sustainable revenue-based models in some sectors.

Resilience Week 2016 Hosted by The Rockefeller Foundation
In December 2016, The Rockefeller Foundation’s African Regional Office hosted the Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Convening in Nairobi, Kenya. Over 150 delegates and 40 speakers participated, sharing insights, examples, and engaging in debate and discussion on why and how ‘resilience’ can enhance Africa’s ongoing development.
Women's Insecure Property Rights
Urban women face significant economic and social constraints due to their limited ability to access, own and control property, including immovable property (e.g., land, structures), movable property (e.g., business equipment, personal possessions), and financial assets (e.g., cash, financial accounts). Insecure property rights make women more vulnerable and less economically, politically and socially empowered; inhibit them from improving their families’ health and well-being; and prevent them from fully contributing to the sustainability and economic growth of their cities. With increasing numbers of women living in cities, especially vulnerable groups like migrants and the elderly, women’s insecurity of property rights in the urban context is rapidly growing in urgency.
Emerging Insights Brief: Connecting African Youth to Tech Enabled Jobs
In 2013, in response to the opportunities presented by Africa’s rapidly growing youth population and the ubiquity of information and communications technologies across the continent, The Rockefeller Foundation launched its Digital Jobs Africa initiative. The initiative aims to enable young people to access jobs by providing them with in-demand technology-related and other employability skills. Now just past its two-year mark, the Foundation is taking stock of the rich learning that has emerged from the initiative.
Investing for Impact: A Strategy of Choice for African Policymakers
Impact investment is a strategy to align the power of private markets to the social and environmental development needs of society at-large. From 2012-13, the Rockefeller Foundation, through its Impact Investing initiative, funded research in five Sub-Saharan African countries with the aim of understanding the barriers for impact investing across Africa, as well as recommending national policies to encourage the growth of the industry. This report synthesizes the findings of that work, examining the potential of impact investing as a ‘strategy of choice’ for African policymakers.
NDRC Resilience Academies Evaluation Report 2016
Following its successful partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) post–Hurricane Sandy Rebuild by Design competition, The Rockefeller Foundation launched the Resilience Academies and Capacity-Building Initiative. Designed to support HUD’s National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC), the Academies and the Initiative provide eligible state, county, and municipal governments with subject-matter expertise and lessons from the Foundation’s years of on-the-ground disaster recovery programming and mitigation planning. Further, the Foundation hoped to assist these key players in moving global knowledge and resources to meet homegrown needs.
What is a resilient health system? Lessons from Ebola | The Lancet
This document proposes a framework for defining resilient health systems based on lessons from other fields. It defines a resilient health system as one that can prepare for and respond effectively to crises while maintaining core functions. The framework identifies 5 key elements of resilient health systems: 1) awareness of strengths/vulnerabilities, 2) diversity to address diverse health challenges, 3) self-regulation to contain threats while maintaining services, 4) integration of diverse actors and coordination of response, and 5) adaptability to transform in response to adverse conditions. Building resilience requires investments before crises to strengthen health systems and promote rapid recovery during and after crises.

Finance for Resilience
A holistic, enduring strategy for private sector involvement in resilience efforts is critical to building sustainable solutions for the most vulnerable members of society. Particularly in the face of a shrinking supply of traditional development capital from government and donors, engaging the private sector to address these systemic challenges not only offers the possibility of a reduction in risk for affected communities; it also creates the long term potential for new markets and growth opportunities for private players, and the establishment of solutions at the nexus of humanitarian and development efforts. In many cases, the regions that private companies are pursuing for future growth are emerging markets, and a more resilient global economy means more opportunity for the private sector to grow its core activities. Interestingly, it is the most vulnerable, those at the growing base of the pyramid, that also hold tremendous opportunities for global and local private enterprises. There is a true business case in improving resilience for the largest potential sources of consumption and economic activity, but to date there has been limited meaningful engagement. The way forward lies in models that embrace multi-stakeholder collaboration as the path to scale innovations and create improved resilience outcomes.
Such an engagement starts with a framework that identifies root market failures from a resilience perspective and moves to address them through a partnership process that prioritizes private sector engagement. The five key market failures that inhibit resilience can be organized as: lack of savings and resources; lack of risk mitigation tools; lack of functioning domestic capital markets; lack of economic activity; and lack of incentives to collaborate and scale. Drawing from a menu of tools specifically tailored for the gaps related to each market failure and partners who have a compelling motivation to fill those gaps, an effective process for engagement can then be designed and scaled. The key elements of this process are ICE: Innovation, Collaboration, and Economies of Scale.
Health Vulnerabilities of Informal Workers
Informal workers face substantial risks and vulnerabilities due to insecurity surrounding their employment status and
lack of control of the conditions of their employment. In addition, informal workers have limited access to affordable and
appropriate health care for themselves and their families, and they may not seek care if they have insecure legal status, or due to the potential expense or loss of income. The combination of high vulnerabilities and inadequate social protections (including insufficient access to affordable health services) results in high incidences of injury, illness, susceptibility to chronic diseases and poverty.

Particularly in the face of a shrinking supply of traditional development capital from government and donors, engaging the private sector to address these systemic challenges not only offers the possibility of a reduction in risk for affected communities; it also creates the long term potential for new markets and growth opportunities for private players, and the establishment of solutions at the nexus of humanitarian and development efforts. In many cases, the regions that private companies are pursuing for future growth are emerging markets, and a more resilient global economy means more opportunity for the private sector to grow its core activities. Interestingly, it is the most vulnerable, those at the growing base of the pyramid, that also hold tremendous opportunities for global and local private enterprises. There is a true business case in improving resilience for the largest potential sources of consumption and economic activity, but to date there has been limited meaningful engagement. The way forward lies in models that embrace multi-stakeholder collaboration as the path to scale innovations and create improved resilience outcomes.
Such an engagement starts with a framework that identifies root market failures from a resilience perspective and moves to address them through a partnership process that prioritizes private sector engagement. The five key market failures that inhibit resilience can be organized as: lack of savings and resources; lack of risk mitigation tools; lack of functioning domestic capital markets; lack of economic activity; and lack of incentives to collaborate and scale. Drawing from a menu of tools specifically tailored for the gaps related to each market failure and partners who have a compelling motivation to fill those gaps, an effective process for engagement can then be designed and scaled. The key elements of this process are ICE: Innovation, Collaboration, and Economies of Scale.
Health Vulnerabilities of Informal Workers
Informal workers face substantial risks and vulnerabilities due to insecurity surrounding their employment status and
lack of control of the conditions of their employment. In addition, informal workers have limited access to affordable and
appropriate health care for themselves and their families, and they may not seek care if they have insecure legal status, or due to the potential expense or loss of income. The combination of high vulnerabilities and inadequate social protections (including insufficient access to affordable health services) results in high incidences of injury, illness, susceptibility to chronic diseases and poverty.
