More people than ever depend on the critical infrastructure systems that provide essential energy, water, transport and communications services, and underpin food, healthcare and education. When this infrastructure fails the consequences can be catastrophic. Supported by Lloyd’s Register Foundation and Arup, the Resilience Shift provides knowledge and tools for those responsible for planning, financing, designing, delivering, operating and maintaining critical infrastructure systems. Our aim is to ensure infrastructure systems are able to withstand, adapt to, and recover quickly from anticipated or unexpected shocks and stresses - now and in the future. DEFINING RESILIENCE Resilience is the ability to withstand, adapt to changing conditions, and recover positively from shocks and stresses.

    Future Access Pricing in the Water Sector a Discussion Paper

    Water today, water tomorrow Future access pricing in the water sector A discussion paper www.ofwat.gov.uk Future access pricing in the water sector 2 Water today, water tomorrow About this document This document introduces some of the terminology, concepts and issues we will need to consider in developing a new charging rules framework for access pricing for the water sector in England and Wales. It describes: • what access pricing is and why it matters; • some of the key issues we will need to consider around access pricing; • which costs could be considered in setting access prices; and • the lessons that we can learn from other sectors. The UK Government’s Water Bill, published in June 2013, will extend the role of competition in the sector in England. This will mean new companies will have access to the systems and services provided by monopoly water and sewerage and water only companies. The Water Bill also requires us to prepare rules that monopoly companies will need to follow in setting the prices they will charge for providing access. Contents 1. Why does access pricing matter? 4 2. What are the main issues? 8 3. Which costs should we consider? 12 4. What lessons can we learn from other sectors? 15 5. Next steps 26 6.

    Government of Pakistan Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training ********* INTRODUCTION: • In the wake of 18th Amendment to the Constitution the concurrent list stands abolished. Subjects of Education and Health etc. no longer remain in the purview of the Federal Government. Therefore, the Ministries of Education, Health and fifteen other ministries were devolved from 5th April, 2011 to 30th June, 2011. • Entry-16 of Part 1 of Federal Legislative list reads as follows: “Federal Agencies and Institutes for the following purposes that is to say, for research, for professional and technical training, or for the promotion of special studies” will be organized by the Federal Government. • Therefore, the Federal Agencies and Institutes imparting professional and technical training and research have been retained by the Federal Government. • To cater for the educational, professional and technical training requirements of the country after devolution, the Government has taken a very timely decision by creating a dedicated Ministry for the purpose. • The Ministry of Professional & Technical Training was notified on 29th July, 2011. Later on, the Ministry has been re-named as Ministry of Education, Trainings and Standards in Higher Education. Finally, on the recommendations of CCI the Ministry has now been renamed as Ministry Federal Education & Professional Training.
