  • World Bank Document
    E2120 EMP Checklist for Construction and Rehabilitation Activities General Guidelines for use of EMP checklist: For low-risk topologies, such as school and hospital rehabilitation activities, the ECA Public Disclosure Authorized safeguards team developed an alternative to the current EMP format to provide an opportunity for a more streamlined approach to preparing EMPs for minor rehabilitation or small-scale works in building construction, in the health, education and public services sectors. The checklist-type format has been developed to provide “example good practices” and designed to be user friendly and compatible with safeguard requirements. The EMP checklist-type format attempts to cover typical core mitigation approaches to civil works contracts with small, localized impacts. It is accepted that this format provides the key elements of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or Environmental Management Framework (EMF) to meet World Bank Environmental Assessment requirements under OP 4.01. The intention of this checklist is that it would be applicable as guidelines for the small works contractors and constitute an Public Disclosure Authorized integral part of bidding documents for contractors carrying out small civil works under Bank-financed projects. The checklist has three sections: Part 1 includes a descriptive part that characterizes the project and specifies in terms the institutional and legislative aspects, the technical project content, the potential need for capacity building program and description of the public consultation process. This section could be up to two pages long. Attachments for additional information can be supplemented when needed. Part 2 includes an environmental and social screening checklist, where activities and potential environmental issues can be checked in a simple Yes/No format.

  • Association for Democratic Initiatives Report on Perspectives of Global
    Association for Democratic Initiatives Report on Perspectives of Global Education in Macedonia Executive summary The objective of the kick off seminar “Perspectives of the Global Education in Macedonia”, held on May 30, 2014 in Skopje was to bring together all relevant national stakeholders in the field of education and global development education, as well as regional and international guests, in a consultation process. This event gathered 48 participants representing various stakeholders and provided information for the process of development of global education in Macedonia as country candidate for the EU membership. The seminar served as an excellent platform for a broad discussion on the global education, as a key enabler of social, cultural and economic development for every society. In this context, the seminar was valuable to initiate a national strategy process, to contribute to the European GE/DE multi stakeholder process and to the implementation of the recommendations of the Lisbon Global Education Congress1. The results of the seminar should also contribute to the foreseen 2015 GE pan-European congress. In addition, the seminar provided valuable inputs and sharing of experiences in the field of Global education in Montenegro and for the current developments and overview of the school literature in Slovenia. The seminar was organized in the framework of the Joint Management Agreement (JMA) signed between the EC and the NSC. The co-organisers of the meeting were the Association for Democratic Initiatives, as the implementing partner, and the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe. 1 http://www.gecongress2012.org/ Introduction to the conference and report, aims and methodology of the process To launch the process related to the strengthening of GE/DE policies in Macedonia, the Page | 2 Association for Democratic Initiatives (ADI) in collaboration with the North South Centre of the Council of Europe organised the kick-off seminar “Perspectives of the Global Education in Macedonia” on May 30, 2014 in Skopje.

  • Macedonia, Yugoslavia. Results from a Field Study Iii
    406 CIRCUMCISION AND CARCINOMA COLLI UTERI IN MACEDONIA, YUGOSLAVIA. RESULTS FROM A FIELD STUDY III. BENIGNGYNAECOLOGICALDiSORDERS LJUBO DAMJANOVSKI, VIOLETA MARCEKIC AND MIRJANA MILETIC From the Hospital Tetovo and Gynaecological University Hospital, Skopje, Yugoslavia Received for publication May 15, 1963 MACEDONIA represents one of the extremes in Yugoslavia, the northwestern part of which, particularly Slovenia, belongs to Central Europe according to its historical and economic development, whereas the southeastern part, including the whole of Macedonia, was set free from the old feudal Turkish empire in 1912. Very httle was changed during the domination of Serbian kings, between 1912 and 1941, and the'Macedonians were accepted as a separate nation and given the opportunity for their national and economic upraise only after the last war. Together with them the national minorities, the Turks and Shqyptars* started to develop. CHARACTERISTICS OF ETHNIC GROUPS The district of Tetovo, the area of our study, covers the northern part of western Macedonia and has a nationaHy and religiously mixed population com- posed of Macedonians, Shqyptars and Turks. The present ethnic and socio- economic characteristics of this area reflect the historical hfe under the feudal Moslem rulers during the last centuxies. Industrialization after the last war started to modernize the social conditions very quickly, especiany in the Mace- donian ethnic group, comprising during the last years more and more also the Moslem parts of the population. Different ethnic groups in Tetovo district hve in the same areas, often in the same villages; the viRages vary in composition, from pure Macedonian, Turkish or Shqyptar to mixed in different proportions.
