However, today there is widespread acknowledgement that the management of cultural heritage resources needs to be brought into large-scale planning and management processes in an integrated and holistic manner. This is particularly true in protected areas, which not only contain significant cultural heritage resources, but are also often mandated to conserve these resources and can benefit significantly from the effort.

    Annual Report 2002

    ANNUAL REPORT KHUSHBOO GOES TO SCHOOL Khushboo, 7, whose name means ‘having a sweet scent’, is in second grade at the Ghulam Haider School in Kabul, Afghanistan. She likes being in school, and despite complaining “My teachers give me lots of homework to do…!” she says she wants to be a teacher some day. Khushboo lives in a poor neighbourhood with her family: her father, who is a messenger, her mother, a younger brother, and a 10-year-old sister who also goes to this school. UNICEF provided Khushboo’s school with learning materials and paid for teacher training. The school was one of thousands that benefited from UNICEF assistance after years of conflict and extreme poverty had nearly destroyed the country’s educa- tion system. The previous regime had banned all girls, including Khushboo’s sister, from attending school. From 2001 to 2002, UNICEF led efforts to support the Interim Administration’s ‘Back to School’ campaign. By the end of 2002, 3 million Afghan children – including 1 million girls – were back in the classroom. More children are on their way.

The plan provided guidance with projects and priorities to the KID FireSmart program over the past six years however the KID FireSmart Committee has identified the need to update the plan to: . Re-assess interface hazard and risk . Identify FireSmart program accomplishments . Set new FireSmart priorities for the next five year period (2015-2020) The goal of the Kananaskis Improvement District Wildfire Mitigation Strategy (2015) is to provide a working document that land and fire managers, municipal administration and elected officials, and local residents and businesses can use to guide FireSmart development practices in the project area.

The transplantation of tissues and cells offers major therapeutic benefits and improvement of the quality of life, but raises a number of questions of principle. The Council of Europe is the leading standard- setting institution in the field. It approaches organ transplantation from an ethical and human rights perspective, taking compliance with the principles of non-commercialisation and voluntary donation of substances of human origin as the basis for all ethical concerns in this respect. Its work includes assuring the safety and quality of organs, tissues and cells, meeting the organ shortage, living donation and preventing and minimising organ trafficking. The 3rd edition of the Guide to safety and quality assurance for the transplantation of organs, tissues and cells is now available. Its aim is to provide guidance for all those involved in order to maximise the quality of organs, tissues and cells and to minimise risks, and thereby increase the success rate of transplants. It includes safety and quality assurance standards for procurement, preservation, processing and distribution of organs, tissues and cells of human origin (allogenic and autologous) used for transplantation purposes.
