Rural poverty is a major challenge for Jamaica, with the rural poverty rate twice the level of the urban areas. There is large potential for rural development, especially through closer linkages with the large and expanding tourism sector which offers numerous opportunities that are yet to be tapped. Improvements in productivity and competitiveness are key to realizing the potential synergies between tourism and small farmer agriculture. The objective of the proposed NCDP2 is to increase income and jobs in poor communities in targeted rural areas. Because of the focus on productive, income generating initiatives, the NCDP 2 project was named Rural Enterprise Development Initiative (REDI). The project l builds on the success of the community-based development approach utilized under NCDP1. The focus of income generation interventions will be supported by rural-based tourism development, agricultural technology improvements in small and medium farms, and the linkages between agriculture and tourism.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s Education Department offers a unique look at our zoo—the zoo at night. We offer three sequential overnight programs designed to build upon students’ understanding of the natural world. Within these programs, we strive to combine learning with curiosity, passion with dedication, and advocacy with perspective. By sharing our knowledge of, and excitement about, environmental education, we hope to create quality experiences that foster a sense of wonder, share knowledge, and advocate active involvement with wildlife and wild places. Overnight experiences offer a deeper and more profound look at what a zoo really is. The children involved have time to process what they experience, while encountering firsthand the wonderful relationships people can have with wild animals and wild places. The program offers three special adventures: Animal Adaptations, Wolf Woods, and Sleep with the Manatees, including several specialty programs. Activities range from a guided tour of zoo buildings and grounds (including a peek behind-the-scenes), to educational games, animal demonstrations, late night hikes, and presentations of bio-facts.

  • Paklijst Scouts Zomerkamp Valkenswaard

Wat wel nodig is voor het vervoer: Dag rugzak o Lunch o Water Slapen Uiteraard hopen we dat het goed weer wordt. Maar ’s avonds kan het erg afkoelen. Onderstaande dingen zijn nodig voor een prettige nachtrust: Isolatiematje Slaapzak (e.v.t. lakenzak voor extra warmte in je slaapzak) Kussentje Pyjama Zaklamp (e.v.t. muggenspray/deet) En natuurlijk je eigen knuffel! Hygiëne In tegenstelling tot afgelopen jaar hebben we geen beschikking over toilet- en douche voorzieningen. We bouwen een eigen hudo en douche. Om lekker schoon te blijven moet je het volgende meenemen: Handdoek x2 Washandjes Tandenborstel Tandpasta Kam/borstel Shampoo douchegel Zeep Nagelknipper Labello/vaseline Zonnebrandcrème E.v.t. medicijnen E.v.t. brillenkoker of lenzendoosje/vloeistof Kleding Een scoutszomerkamp is intensief.

(t-)shirts (x 7) Sokken (x7) Ondergoed (x7) Lange broeken Korte broeken Warme trui Jas Regenjas + regenbroek Compleet uniform Zwemkleding Sportschoenen Slippers/sandalen Grote plastic zak voor vuile kleding Eten Tijdens het zomerkamp koken wel zelf op houtvuur of gas.

  • Npk Kampeerwijzer Scouts
    NPK KAMPEERWIJZER SCOUTS INLEIDING Het Noordelijk Pinksterkamp is van oudsher een instructie-/wedstrijdkamp, waar de leuke zaken, veelal in thema, natuurlijk niet vergeten worden. Bij de beoordeling van de diverse groepen speelt de kampeervaardigheid een grote rol. Wanneer een groep tijdens het NPK goed kampeert wordt na afloop van het kamp de NPK- kampeerstandaard uitgereikt. Zie volgende pagina voor de eisen. 2 Het goed en veilig op kamp gaan staat hierbij centraal. Het goed omgaan met het materiaal is niet alleen een behoud van je materiaal, maar draagt ook bij aan een goed opgebouwd kamp. Een kampterrein waar zowel de scouts als de leiding van een geslaagd kamp kunnen genieten. Dit boekje doet een aantal suggesties voor goed en verantwoord kamperen aan de hand; niet alleen praktische tips die bedoeld zijn voor het NPK, maar ook voor andere kampen. Veel kampeerplezier! De Kampeervaardigheidscommissie, NPK Scoutsstaf Februari 2019 Denk bij alles wat je bouwt aan hygiëne, veiligheid, doelmatigheid. Eisen voor de NPK Kampeerstandaard voor scouts*. Troep/Vendel Scouts en leiding zorgen ervoor dat: De groep volgens het tijdschema van het NPK werkt en de nachtrust voldoende gehandhaafd wordt. Iedereen zich correct gedraagt en anderen geen overlast bezorgd. Het kampterrein en zijn directe omgeving steeds in keurige staat verkeert om veilig en hygiënisch te kunnen kamperen. Een vuur nooit onbewaakt is, en er voldoende bluswater en zand binnen handbereik is. Bijlen, zagen, tenthamer en andere materialen met zorg, en veilig worden behandeld en bewaard. De hakplaats veilig is. De EHBO trommel compleet is en gemakkelijk te pakken. De natuur geen geweld wordt aangedaan en dat er geen plaggen of zoden worden gestoken.

  • Handboek Beheer Van Scoutingkampeerterreinen Infoblad
    Handboek Beheer van Scoutingkampeerterreinen Infoblad 3.2 SANITAIR Op dit infoblad vind je informatie over de volgende onderwerpen: - Wasgelegenheid - Toiletten - Douches - Schoonmaak - Eisen ten aanzien van sanitaire voorzieningen - Leveranciers van sanitaire units, inrichting en technische installaties - Meer informatie Sanitair vormt een van de basisvoorzieningen op kampeerterreinen. Een groot aantal scouts geeft aan dat de aan- of afwezigheid van bepaalde sanitaire voorzieningen voor een belangrijk deel de keus voor het terrein bepalen. Vanuit het oogpunt van hygiëne vormen de sanitaire voorzieningen ook een belangrijk onderdeel om aandacht aan te besteden. Tot 1 november 2005 was het aantal en soort sanitaire voorzieningen wettelijk voorgeschreven in de Wet op de openluchtrecreatie en de bijbehorende besluiten. Met het aanpassen van deze wet, is dit niet meer het geval. De lozing van afvalwater is wettelijk geregeld in diverse besluiten (infoblad 3.3). Wasgelegenheid Je kunt er voor kiezen om op je terrein een wasgelegenheid aanwezig te hebben. Kies je hiervoor dan moeten de wasbakken, evenals de toiletten en douches, aangesloten zijn op een voorziening voor opvang en afvoer van het afvalwater. Toiletvoorzieningen Tot voor de wetswijziging werden er eisen gesteld aan toiletvoorzieningen. Richtlijn hierbij was één toilet per 35 kampeerders. Ook na de wijziging is het verstandig over voldoende toiletten te beschikken. Aantallen en soort toiletten worden aan de marktwerking overgelaten. De toiletten moeten, evenals de tappunten en douches, aangesloten zijn op een voorziening voor opvang en afvoer van het afvalwater. Hierover lees je meer in infoblad 3.3. Hudo’s Er bestaat op dit moment geen landelijk regelgeving meer over het soort toiletten dat op een kampeerterrein aanwezig moet zijn.

  • Change and Continuity in Social Norms and Practices Around Marriage and Education in Nepal
    September 2014 Country Report Change and continuity in social norms and practices around marriage and education in Nepal Anita Ghimire and Fiona Samuels Child marriage is still prevalent, and although the average age of marriage has increased, gendered social norms around marriage remain sticky Positive changes in higher education enrolment, coupled with the increasing age of marriage, have led to positive impacts in girls’ access to education. Despite this, dropout rates for girls remain high, and there is evidence of son bias in household expenditure on education Long-term interventions such as government or NGO programmes and policies to increase gender discrimination have proven to be the most important external drivers of change Strong female role models are critical, usually women who work in development, education or health sectors. Adolescent girls look to these women as agents of change Shaping policy for development odi.org Acknowledgements The team is very grateful to all the local people, adolescent girls, young women and men of Wayal and Salena Village Development Committees (VDCs), in the Doti district of Nepal, who shared their insights and experiences patiently with us. To make this possible, several people and institutions played a key role. We express our gratitude to the District Administration Office in Doti as well as to CARE Nepal, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), World Education, Save the Children, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Kathmandu. In addition, we would like to give special thanks to: Mr Man Bahadur Kathayat, Principal of Soojung School, Doti; Mr Min Rana, Principal of Shree Saraswoti Boarding School, Doti; Mr Udaya Pandit, Headmaster of Shree Jhime Secondary School; Mr Jagat Bahadur Balayar, Principal of Shree Bhumi Raj Mabi and Mrs Bharati Bohora, teacher Shree Bhumi Raj Mabi for their support during the field work.
