In my view, we should highlight three very important aspects: Firstly, there has been a notable increase in the company’s sus- tainability initiatives. When ENDESA approved its Seven Commit- ments for Sustainable Development in 2007, it was a clear public declaration of certain business principles of conduct, which the com- pany had already followed for many years. The public nature of these commitments and their adoption by everyone who works for the com- pany, gave a new boost to our sustainability efforts, and will mean a significant increase in our initiatives in this field in the coming years. In this context, certain milestones reached in 2007, which are discussed in full detail in this report, are particularly illustrative. In PRESENTATION Spain we obtained the highest level of service continuity in the his- tory of ENDESA and a customer satisfaction quotient for our electric- ity provisioning services of eight out of ten. In addition, we invested Euro 4,746 millions, of which 90% was allocated to energy infra- structure. We also cut our accident rates by 21.7% and spent 1.8 million hours on employee training, while maintaining the efficiency of our Ethics Channel. Furthermore, ENDESA cut its CO2 emissions by 36.5%, with respect to the company’s emission levels in 1990. Meanwhile, we continued our research into CO2 capture and storage systems, and developed a Global Energy Efficiency Plan, and lastly, Euro 39.2 millions was invested in social initiatives, which represents 1.5% of the total earnings for the year. These and other data contained in this report give continuity to our widely respected commitment to sustainable development. In recent years, ENDESA has been rated one of the world’s leading companies with regard to sustainability by important entities such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, where it has been ranked PRESENTATION 5 for the past seven years. In two of those years it was the leader in This new Plan will not only help us strengthen our commitment to sustainable development in its sector. We would underline that the sustainable development, but also to meet the present and future companies which compose the Dow Jones Sustainability Index must challenges facing our industry, above all in the fight against climate demonstrate expertise in all aspects of sustainability. change. In our view, these challenges are an opportunity to create A second relevant item is the significant improvement in the report- value for society. ing of our sustainable development initiatives.

Moreover, an ex- ternal, independent company has verified ENDESA’s commitment to complying with the GRI indicators, AccountAbility principles and the Global Compact as well as our commitment to OECD principles and the United Nations’ Millennium Project. Rafael Miranda Robredo Thirdly, this Annual Report reflects how the company has been Chief Executive Officer able to meet the economic, environmental and social challenges posed by this global approach to sustainability. ENDESA’s mission is very clear: to provide value for the community through the provision of a basic, accessible, and quality service, with responsible stew- ardship of the natural resources deployed; to promote research and eco-efficiency; to take care of its shareholders’ interests; to encour- age professional and personal development in its employees; and to address the social needs of the communities in which the company operates. Our success in meeting these objectives has allowed us to take the next step, with the creation and implementation of our 2008-2012 Strategic Sustainability Plan, which is based on even more ambitious targets than those from the 2003-2007 Environment and Sustaina- ble Development Strategic Plan, which ended last year and in which 95% of the objectives were met. endesa07 6 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENDESA, ONE OF THE LARGEST ELECTRICITY COMPANIES IN THE WORLD 7 ENDESA, ONE OF THE LARGEST ELECTRICITY COMPANIES IN THE WORLD endesa07 8 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 01.

  • Women's Voluntary Groups in Lima, Peru Comedores Populares
    Women’s Voluntary Groups in Lima, Peru Comedores Populares Naoko Kamioka Affiliation: World Learning Prepared for delivery at the 2001 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Washington DC, September 6-8, 2001 Contact Address: World Learning, 1015 15th Street, N.W., Suite 750, Washington DC 20005, USA Tel: 202-408-5420, ex. 143 Email: [email protected] I. Introduction Comedores Populares (Communal Kitchens) run by the women’s voluntary groups in the poverty-stricken areas in Peru is a unique example of mass women’s popular participation that cannot be found in any other countries. It originated at the time of the beginning of economic crisis in the late 70s in one of the poor districts in Lima with a group of women being organized to serve meals. Since then, its number has grown, counting about 5,000 in Lima Metropolitan area and about 13,000 throughout the country in 1994. In Lima alone, approximately 120,000 women volunteer their efforts to support these Comedores. The Comedores became very crucial for poor families to survive during the period of serious economic crisis in the 80s and the following structural adjustment in the early 90s. The Comedores eventually were converted from an alliance for survival to a massive social movement. Traditionally marginalized women began to take collective actions expressing their needs and publicly asking for changes. The local and national networks of Comedores have become important vehicles for women to challenge the existing social structure. This has contributed to projecting a new image of the poor and disadvantaged women who were historically kept voiceless due to gender, socio-economic status, and ethnicity.

This is the first study to provide a diachronic analysis of violence on the central coast. One null hypothesis was tested and falsified: that there are no differences in the prevalence and pattern of trauma over time on the central coast of Peru.

    MSc Programme in Urban Management and Development Rotterdam, the Netherlands September 2011 Thesis Title: Effects of Land Titles on Access to Credit. A World Bank Programme in Lima, Peru Name: Julia Skinner Supervisor: Maria Zwanenburg UMD 7 Urban Social Development Summary This thesis focuses on the effects of land titles on access to formal credit as a means to invest in small businesses in two settlements in Lima, Peru. This was done through a programme carried out by COFOPRI and promoted by the Peruvian government and co-financed by the World Bank expecting to alleviate poverty and improve the livelihoods of the new formal settlers through three specific goals: • To facilitate the access of the low income population to formal sector credits using their title deed. • To promote the formal real estate sector market in poor urban neighborhoods • To provide incentives to invest in small enterprises, housing and basic services. This land titling programme is based on the theory of Hernando De Soto which argues that informal properties can be turned into tradable commodities and thus be used to accumulate capital and invest it into better houses. Investment may also be made in starting small businesses but this has not materialised. The objective of this research is to ascertain why this has not happened given the fact that the project was specifically designed to enable beneficiaries to use their title deeds as collateral to gain capital for starting small business. My findings focused on different aspects of accessibility to formal credits from the perspectives of both borrowers and lenders in an attempt to answer my main research question: Why has the increase in access to formal credit been less than foreseen by the Land Titling Programme? In order to help me answer this question, I have divided it into the following sub-questions: 1.
