Keynote Address - DEEPA NARAYAN
Introduction – Srini Sridharan


Dr. Deepa Narayan is an independent international poverty, gender and development advisor and writer with over 25 years of experience working at the World Bank, the UN, and NGOs. Until 2008, she served as Senior Advisor in the Vice President’s office of the Poverty Reduction Group of the World Bank. Dr. Narayan spent many years living in village communities in Africa, South and East Asia. This led to her focus on ‘people first’, and local community driven approaches nested in social and political processes.  Her current interests include reducing inequality, shared and sustainable living, making corporate social responsibility a reality, ethical development and economic policies that help create wealth for poor people. She serves on boards of NGOs, participates in think tanks and is a frequent speaker at conferences and retreats. She also conducts experiential workshops on creative leadership for women and youth.

While at the World Bank in addition to program development and evaluation, Deepa Narayan conducted two influential studies that resulted in key policy changes.  The Voices of the Poor brought together the experiences of 60,000 poor women and men from 60 countries and the Moving Out of Poverty: Understanding Freedom, Democracy and Growth from the Bottom Up involving 15 countries people was aimed at understanding how some poor people actually moved out of poverty over a decade while others remained stuck. Both highlight how policy mindsets and unexamined assumptions about poor people, distort policy decisions. She has authored or co-authored more than 15 books.  Recent publications include: Moving Out of Poverty: Rising from the Ashes of Conflict (Vol 4 in the series), The Promise of Empowerment and Democracy in India (Vol 3 ), Success from the Bottom Up (Vol  2 ), all published in 2009 and 2010; Ending Poverty in South Asia: Ideas that Work, World Bank 2007; and Measuring Empowerment: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives, World Bank 2005.


Keynote Address by
Kentaro Toyama
Introduction by Madhu Viswanathan


Kentaro Toyama is a researcher in the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley.  Kentaro is working on a book tentatively titled A Different Kind of Growth: Wisdom in Global Development. He hopes to make the case that greater wisdom is the optimal goal of global development, where wisdom is defined as the knowledge, virtue, and action required to generate well-being in oneself and others, now and into the future. Wisdom, in turn, is best gained through the pursuit of aspirations and an internal climb up Maslow's hierarchy of needs. He argues that wisdom, at individual, societal, and national levels, is the key to economic growth for the poor, political freedom for the oppressed, and sustainability for everyone. Until 2009, he was assistant managing director of Microsoft Research India, which he co-founded in 2005. At MSR India, he started the Technology for Emerging Markets research group, which conducts interdisciplinary research to understand how the world's poorer communities interact with electronic technology and to invent new ways for technology to support their socio-economic development. The award-winning group is known for projects such as MultiPointText-Free User Interfaces, and Digital Green. Kentaro co-founded the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) to provide a global platform for rigorous academic research in this field. Prior to his time in India, Kentaro did computer vision and multimedia research at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA, USA and Cambridge, UK, and taught mathematics at Ashesi University in Accra, Ghana. Kentaro graduated from Yale with a PhD in Computer Science and from Harvard with a bachelors degree in Physics. He was born in Tokyo, raised in both Japan and the United States, and now lives in Berkeley, California.
