The revised PDO: The Project Development Objective is to minimize the threat posed to humans by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) infection and other zoonoses to prepare for, control, and respond to influenza pandemics and other infectious disease emergencies in humans. The expected outcomes of the revised Project are: (i) the development of a National Integrated Preparedness Plan for control and response to outbreaks and pandemics prepared in accordance with WHO recommendations; and (ii) a contained and diminishing pattern of HPAI and other zoonotic viral threats and infections in humans. 1 Does the restructured project trigger any new safeguard policies? NO Source Local Foreign Total IDA Grant I Total I 1.93 2 ANNEX 1: Proposed Changes a. What are the proposed changes, as applicable, in the project‘s development objectives, outcomes, design, andor scope? The proposed changes are: 1. Align the Proiect‘s Development Obiective (PDO) with the Global Program for Avian Influenza Control and Human Pandemic Preparedness Response (GPAI) PDO.’ Based on the February 2009 Mid-term Review (MTR) and follow-up discussion related to the recent A/HlNl pandemic, the Recipient has agreed that the PDO should be revised to expand the scope of planned interventions to other zoonotic diseases as a new target outcome, while preserving the integrity of the original Project design related to AI and aligning it with the GPAI PDO. The revised PDO is as follows: “to minimize the threat posed to humans by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) infection and other zoonoses to prepare for, control, and respond to influenza pandemics and other infectious disease emergencies in humans. ” 2. Sumort the development of a National Pandemic Plan to establish mechanisms for management ofa pandemic situation. 3. Cancel Compensation Funds (CF). It was agreed to redirect the CF (US$537,300 equivalent) within the same activity category, to finance the adjusted Project scope, especially the activities for Human and Animal Health components and activities that exceed cost estimations. 4. Revise Project Activities: The MTR reviewed and appraised Project activities and priorities. Discussions were held with key stakeholders after the WHO pandemic alert was raised to level 6. The priority activities, as identified by the Recipient, to support the revised PDO and be funded under the redirected funds, are as follows: (i) Public Awareness and Information component: The restructured Project will aim to address remaining knowledge gaps within the population on A/HlNl, influenza-like diseases, and other zoonoses. (ii) Animal Health component: The restructured Project will finance necessary wastewater treatment for the Animal Health Laboratory (AH Lab) currently under construction; the restructured Project will also finance equipment, consumables, and furniture to make the AH Lab fully functional and a sustainable solution responsive to Kosovo’s current and forecasted laboratory diagnostic needs. (iii) Human Health component. The restructured Project will support pandemic response, including the recently declared Pandemic level 6 alert, which creates an ‘The Executive Directors endorsed the GPAI PDO on January 12,2006 (Report No. 34386). 3 urgent need to scale up hospital preparedness and health sector response capacity. Based on the Recipient’s request, the Project would support additional measures to ensure adequate stocks of lab reagents, disinfectants, and personal protective equipment are available. The National Pandemic Preparedness Plan, prepared by the Institute of Public Health (IPH) in September 2008, should be revised according to WHO recommendations. More time is needed to capitalize on completed and ongoing activities, in particular to raise preparedness in the regions related to the diagnosis, referrals, and management of outbreaks and Pandemic. Some US$0.2 million is earmarked for additional activities and for existing activities that exceed original costs estimates. (iv) Training and Technical Assistance. The Project would expand the scope of training and technical assistance activities to broaden capacity building primarily for human health but also for animal health. In particular it will focus on emergency management, triage, field epidemiology, clinical management, diagnosis laboratory of important diseases, especially zoonoses. 5. Revise outcomes.

    Cambridge University Press 0521542553 - Seeing the State: Governance and Governmentality in India Stuart Corbridge, Glyn Williams, Manoj Srivastava and Rene Veron Frontmatter More information Seeing the State Poor people confront the state on an everyday basis all over the world. But how do they see the state, and how are these engage- ments conducted? This book considers the Indian case where people’s accounts, in particular in the countryside, are shaped by a series of encounters that are staged at the local level, and which are also informed by ideas that are circulated by the government and the broader develop- ment community. Drawing extensively on fieldwork conducted in east- ern India and their broad range of expertise, the authors review a series of key debates in development studies on participation, good governance, and the structuring of political society. They do so with particular re- ference to the Employment Assurance Scheme and primary education provision. Seeing the State engages with the work of James Scott, James Ferguson and Partha Chatterjee, and offers a new interpretation of the formation of citizenship in South Asia. Stuart Corbridge is Professor of Geography at the London School of Economics. He is the author or co-author of five books, including Reinventing India (with John Harriss, 2000). Glyn Williams is Senior Lecturer in Geography at King’s College, London. He is the co-editor of a collection of essays on South Asia in a Globalising World (2002). Manoj Srivastava is a Research Associate in the Crisis State Pro- gramme, Development Studies Institute, London School of Economics.
