Local Government Revenue Initiative Logri
Cities in the Global South need significant revenue to build infrastructure and provide local services. However, efforts to collect taxes, particularly on property, are often ineffective and inequitable. LoGRI supports governments to raise local revenue more fairly and in ways that promote trust, transparency and accountability. We do this by- Partnering with governments to provide hands-on support and advice - Conducting collaborative, applied research to inform reform projects - Developing operational tools, including technology solutions - Delivering skills training to develop local capacity We also seek to share insights and shape policy by engaging with regional and international stakeholders on local public finance issues. LoGRI is based at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy and is an initiative of the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD). https://logri.org/

Therapeutics Initiative
The Therapeutics Initiative (TI) was established in 1994 by the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics in cooperation with the Department of Family Practice at The University of British Columbia with its mission to provide physicians and pharmacists with up-to-date, evidence-based, practical information on prescription drug therapy. To reduce bias as much as possible the TI is an independent organization, separate from government, pharmaceutical industry and other vested interest groups. We strongly believe in the need for independent assessments of evidence on drug therapy to balance the drug industry sponsored information sources. Over the years the TI has substantially enhanced its ability to assess the clinical evidence presented in published articles, meta-analyses by the Cochrane Collaboration and scientific material presented by the pharmaceutical industry. In pace with the extensive assessment of clinical evidence, the TI has developed effective ways of knowledge translation and dissemination of this evidence to all active players involved in drug therapy: physicians, pharmacists, nurses and policy-makers (Ministry of Health) and is committed to analyzing its own impact.
