Project Title: Developing Sustainable Settlements for Afghan Refugees In Project Title: Developing sustainable settlements for Afghan refugees in the Islamic Republic of Iran Project ID Number: 190041 Area/Location/Countries: Asia and Pacific, Islamic Republic of Iran Thematic code: HC3 Safeguarding the Environment, HC1 Creating Shared Prosperity RBM code: HC32 Clean energy access, HC13 Human Security and Post-crisis Rehabilitation Planned start – finishing date: 01.08.2019 – 31.07.2022 Duration: 36 months Government Coordinating agency & Executing agency/cooperating agency: Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrants Affairs (BAFIA) and Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade (MoIMT) Counterpart: Local governments, national institutions and agencies Budget: Project Inputs US$ 1,314,291 Programme Support Cost (13%) US$ 170,858 Counterpart Inputs - Gross Project Budget US$ 1,485,149 Brief description: The proposed project will facilitate resilient livelihood for refugees in Islamic Republic of Iran. The objective of the project is to promote sustainable infrastructure in five selected settlements to improve refugees’ livelihood through low-carbon energy, waste and water infrastructure. The key target group of the project will be the refugees residing in the settlements (with special attention to youth and women), with a view to strengthen their capacities and access to job opportunities through vocational trainings and appropriate action plans. A. CONTEXT A1. Project Purpose The strategic approach envisaged by United Nations Industrial Organization (UNIDO) is based on the premise that it is critical to enhance the access of communities to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy for creating productive capacities and job opportunities. In addition, this approach emphasizes the need to empower refugees with skills, tools and knowledge to engage in economic activities and to ensure that they are able to sustain their daily lives with dignity in countries of their (temporary) settlement. This would essentially means, leaving no one behind. The project will aim to strengthen the low-carbon infrastructure (hardware), and provide refugees the necessary skills, tools and knowledge (soft activities) in clean technologies to join the workforce in these industries to adequately face future challenges. Providing cleaner and innovative technologies will include renewable energy (e.g. solar energy), energy efficiency (e.g. energy efficient cook stoves), waste-to-energy, water treatment, as well as sustainable connection to urban areas through innovative mobility concepts. As such, the project will bring innovation for sustainable settlement infrastructure, and deliver skills and tools to strengthen capacities of the refugees. This will primarily benefit the main target group of the project, i.e. the refugee population with particular emphasis on youth and women. Furthermore, this project is envisioned to contribute to long-term development gains such as capacity building of the government counterparts and settlement authorities, whose capacities are critical for the sustainable continuation of the project interventions. The project will thus deliver direct support to address the immediate needs of the people and the communities in question, in a way that will strengthen and improve the long-term capacities of the settlements. A2. Baseline Scenario Providing for close to 1 million registered Afghan refugees, Islamic Republic of Iran currently is ranked as the fifth largest refugee hosting country in the world. Of these refugees, 97 percent reside in urban or semi-urban areas across the country. The remaining three percent live in 20 government-run refugee settlements. UNIDO is a partner agency to the Solution Strategy for Afghan Refugees (SSAR) which is a tripartite agreement between Government of Iran and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and UNIDO. In line with the SSAR framework, Government’s inclusive strategy for Afghan Refugees is focused on three pillars, namely, health, education, and livelihoods. As a partner agency to the SSAR in Iran, UNIDO supports the Government’s strategy to develop and sustain self-reliance. The SSAR framework serves as the strategic basis to enable multilateral consensus building and to offer a framework for joint interventions which includes 29 different agencies, NGOs and ministries that work jointly on the three pillars. Connected to this ongoing effort, a portfolio of projects has been prepared for each country in 2014 and updated in 2015. This includes an integrated framework for multilateral cooperation and coordination between all partners. 2 The strategy compromises the following objectives with connection to the proposed project:1 Empower Afghan refugees through improved education, access to health services and livelihood opportunities Support the Government of Iran in the areas of education, health, shelter, water and the environment, in order to reduce the effects and consequences of the temporary presence of Afghan refugees Furthermore, SSAR is facilitating cross border cooperation between Afghanistan and Iran, linking skilled Afghan refugees in Iran with the job opportunities in Afghanistan. Providing financial services including business loans and micro credits are key interventions of the SSAR program, opening up possibilities of training and capacity building for refugees through the proposed project, in order to support their reintegration in their home country. The project has selected the five most populated Afghan refugee settlements in Markazi, Yazd, Semnan, Kerman and Khorasan as pilot project intervention sites. The selection of these settlements has been done based on a three month feasibility study in consultation with UNHCR and BAFIA. According to the SSAR report of 2018-2019, the five selected sites host 17,920 Afghan refugees of total number of 29,599 refugees who live in settlements. This would be equal to approximately two thirds of the refugee settlements in Iran. Most of the settlements have been established over 20 years ago and the shelters and other infrastructure (water, gas, electricity and public spaces) are in dire need of maintenance or rehabilitation to ensure the sanitary conditions and physical safety of Afghan refugees, and to improve their resilient livelihood in the country.

Within the larger context of migration and humanitarian assistance, UNIDO works along the following guiding principles: - The development of infrastructures and productive systems should intervene at an early stage of the Humanitarian Refugee Response Plan (RRP) rather than in post-emergency planning. The capacity of refugees and local businesses should be reinforced in key areas such as: refugees Sites and Settlements; Energy; Water and Sanitation; Food Security; Non-food items; Financial assistance; - In laying the foundations for long term stabilization in the region, the role of industry and the private sector is central in both capacity building and empowering refugees and decreasing forced displacement as well as managing the effects of migration. This entails increasing preventive measures destined to build resilience and address the economic, social, cultural and environmental drivers of migration, while mitigating the negative impacts of migration on refugees and host communities. Developing human capital and skills and facilitating circular migration is essential to enhance positive economic effects of migration. The proposed project will aim to improve the livelihood condition of 17,920 refugees through 2 key intervention areas: - Resilient low-carbon infrastructure, such as energy, waste, water, transport in settlements - Strengthening capacity to engage in economic activities by starting up or working with the local service providers with special attention to vulnerable groups (women and youth) creating jobs and supporting business development INTERVENTION AREA ACTIVITIES TARGET BENEFICIARIES Resilient low-carbon Green energy provision, energy SETTLEMENT infrastructure incl. energy / efficiency, waste-to-energy, INFRASTRUCTURE: Settlement waste management / water / water treatment, mobility management, city mobility solutions administration Capacity strengthening for job Refugees creation with focus on clean INDIVIDUAL: Refugees, with (Vulnerable groups) technologies for startups and focus on women and youth entrepreneurs Private (manufacturing and/or Job creation in clean LOCAL ECONOMY: Refugee- service) sector technologies led startups and SMEs 4 The project will support a stable, environmentally friendly and sustainable energy supply within the target sites through integrated multifocal approach.

  • Biofacies, Taphofacies, and Depositional Environments in the North of Neotethys Seaway (Qom Formation, Miocene, Central Iran)
    Biofacies, taphofacies, and depositional environments in the north of Neotethys Seaway (Qom Formation, Miocene, Central Iran) Mahdiyeh Mahyad, Amrollah Safari *, Hossein Vaziri-Moghaddam, Ali Seyrafian Department of Geology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, 81746-73441, Iran *Corresponding author E-mails address: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: This research attempted to reconstruct the sedimentary environment and depositional sequences of the Qom Formation in Central Iran, using biofacies and taphofacies analyses. The Qom Formation in the Andabad area with 220 m of thickness is located at N 3°48’12.6” and E 47°59’28”. The thickness of the Qom Formation in the Nowbaran area (N 35°05’22.5” and E 49°41’00”) was found to be 458 m. In both areas, the formation mainly consists of shale and limestone. The lower boundary between the Qom and Lower Red formations is unconformable in both areas. In the Nowbaran area, the Qom Formation is covered by recent alluvial sediments. In the Andabad area, the Qom Formation was unconformably overlaid by the Upper Red Formation. A total of 122 limestone and 15 shale rock samples were collected from the Andabad area, and 94 limestone and 24 shale rock samples were collected from the Nowbaran area. Analysis of the collected samples resulted in the recognition of nine biofacies, one terrigenous facies, and five taphofacies within the Qom Formation in the both areas. Based on the vertical distributions of biofacies, the Qom Formation is deposited on an open shelf carbonate platform. This carbonate platform can be divided into three subenvironments: inner shelf (restricted and semi-restricted lagoon), middle shelf, and outer shelf.

  • Article Re-Description of Barbus Miliaris De Filippi, 1863 (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from the Endorheic Namak Lake Basin of Iran
    FishTaxa (2017) 2(1): 33-42 ISSN: 2458-942X Journal homepage: www.fishtaxa.com © 2016 FISHTAXA. All rights reserved Article Re-description of Barbus miliaris De Filippi, 1863 (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from the endorheic Namak Lake basin of Iran Roozbehan KHAEFI1, Saber VATANDOUST2, Hamid Reza ESMAEIL*1 1Ichthyology and Molecular Systematics Lab., Department of Biology, College of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. 2Department of Fisheries, Babol Branch, Islamic Azad University, Babol, Iran. Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Barbus miliaris was described in 1863 by De Filippi on the basis of three specimens collected from the endorheic Namak Lake basin (a stream near Tehran). But it was later assigned to the subspecies of Barbus lacerta, B. cyclolepis or Luciobarbus mursa. Here, we revalidate and re- describe it. Barbus miliaris is distinguished from the other species of Barbus by having more scales along the lateral line (69-87, mode 77 vs. 50-66, mode 57 in B. cyri; 52-66, mode 61 in B. lacerta) and 80-95% of the posterior margin of the last unbranched dorsal-fin ray covered with denticles (vs. 60-70%). Barbus miliaris is also distinguished from B. cyri by having more predorsal scales (37-47, mode 42 vs. 24-34, mode 29); a narrower upper lip (its width 4-6 vs. 7-9 %HL). In B. miliaris, the maxillary barbel is longer than that of the others (26-41 vs. 12–32 %HL in other species, not reaching to posterior eye margin vs. reaching in B. lacerta). Keywords: Freshwater fish, Middle East, Taxonomy, Distribution.

  • Let Us Not Neglect . Strengthening Our Relations
    2 Editorial Irano-British Quarterly Magazine No. 66 Let us not neglect . strengthening our relations For whatever the reason, it is obvious to all that Iran is currently going through an un- precedented rough patch in all aspects of daily life especially in its economy. But we must bear in mind that this period will defi- nitely pass hopefully sooner than later. Iran is a large country with vast potentiali- ties and any number of natural advantages that logically cannot do other than to posi- tively affect both its domestic and interna- tional realities sooner or later. Fear mongering pessimists must not be al- lowed to frighten us. Colonialization and conquest are things of the past. We are in the era of comprehensive global economic development. So today, while waiting for the better days to come and despite the all the existing inadequacies, developing and maintaining strong mutual relations must not be neglected but should be the priority and responsibility of our joint chambers.

These localities are also listed on a separate website (www.wesca.net/podoces/podoces.html), supplied with coordinates and the reference number. With help of these coordinates and the original publications an historical atlas of bird distribution in Iran can be made. A few preliminary examples of such maps are included. Many authors also collected bird specimens in Iran, either to support their identifications or in order to enravel subspecies taxonomy of the birds of Iran. The more important natural history museums containing study specimens from Iran are listed.
