The infant mortality rate is one of the lowest in the world, life expectancy continues to grow, and availability of and access to drinking water is thoroughly secured. However, this is not the position that most people on our planet find themselves in. In the thirty poorest countries in the world, life expectancy ranges less than 50 years. In many countries, not even a half of the population has access to safe water, and every tenth newborn dies. Face to face with such a situation, the Czech Republic assumes its part of responsibility in combating poverty in those less fortunate parts of the world. Hand in hand with other developed countries, we are seeking ways of making any aid provided as efficient as possible, aiming at the elimination of great differences between the so-called rich north and poor south. Recently, the more developed parts of the world The Czernin Palace, the seat agreed on specific measures to alleviate poverty. In 2000, at the Millennium Summit in of the Ministry of Foreign New York, the Millennium Development Goals were adopted. The Millennium Affairs of the Czech Declaration sets specific goals in the area of development, and eradication of poverty; Republic and the Czech Republic, together with all UN Member States, agreed to meet such goals by the target date of 2015. Furthermore, the rich countries resolved to gradually increase financial flows of international development cooperation. In this regard, the Czech Republic is at the forefront of the new EU Member States. The financial volume allocated to foreign development cooperation is going to grow in order for the Czech Republic to fulfill its international commitments. However, the amount of funds is not the only key aspect – the most important is for each Czech Crown of the Czech taxpayer invested into development aid to generate the greatest effects possible. This publication shows that international development cooperation of the Czech Republic has already generated specific results, all that thanks to the contributions of individual Czech ministries, a number of private companies, universities, and non- -governmental organizations under the management of the Czech Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the chief coordinator. 3 Czech International Development Cooperation ar06-I-gb 16.10.2006 21:49 Stránka 4 ar06-I-gb 16.10.2006 21:49 Stránka 5 Table of contents Introduction 3 Priority Countries 35 Angola 37 Goals and Motivation of the International Development Bosnia and Herzegovina 40 Cooperation of the Czech Republic 6 Moldova 43 Mongolia 46 Relevant Legislation and Other Documents 7 Serbia and Montenegro 49 Vietnam 53 Funding 10 Yemen 56 Zambia 59 Who is Engaged? 11 Afghanistan 61 Non-Governmental Sector 13 Iraq 64 Private Sector 17 Academia 18 Non-Priority Countries 67 General Public 19 Global and Development Education 20 Statistics 75 Forms of Development Cooperation 21 Appendices 79 Bilateral Cooperation 21 List of Acronyms 79 Development Cooperation Projects 21 Photographs 80 Scholarships 23 Humanitarian Aid 24 Assistance to Refugees in the Czech Republic 25 Transformation Cooperation 26 Debt Relief 27 Trilateral Cooperation 28 Multilateral Cooperation 29 European Union 30 Programs, Organizations and Funds of the United Nations 32 International Financial Organizations 32 5 Czech International Development Cooperation ar06-I-gb 16.10.2006 21:49 Stránka 6 The Czech Republic, as a member of the international community of democratic and economically developed countries, recognizes the principle of mutual solidarity between people and countries, and accepts its share of responsibility in finding solutions to global problems. One way of putting these words in action is the program of international development cooperation that is an integral part of the Czech foreign policy. The Czech Republic sees a moral obligation in contributing to the coordinated international activities aimed at reducing poverty in less developed and less wealthy parts of the world. Goals and Motivation of the International Development Cooperation of the Czech Republic e fully support the Millennium Development Goals (see the box) defined Millennium W in the Millennium Declaration of 2000 and reaffirmed at the UN Development World Summit in September 2005 where the international community again Goals expressed its determination to eradicate extreme poverty, its “The Czech Republic causes and consequences.

The Czech Republic reintroduced a program of international development cooperation in 1995 as the first transition country in Central and Eastern Europe. The program took up the long and rich tradition of relations between former Czechoslovakia and developing countries but with the objectionable ideological encumbrance removed. Relevant Legislation and Other Documents In the past ten years, the Czech Republic introduced a turning point was the Czech Republic’s accession to the number of major changes in the concept and European Union that is the world’s leading provider of organization of development cooperation, aimed at external assistance.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.

  • Geopolitics in Europe Mean for the V4? Geopolitics in Europe 1990–2015
    V4 – 25 YEARS THE CONTINUING STORY OF THE VISEGRÁD GROUP 1991 – 2016 5 INTRODUCTION e are honoured to present you with a special publication on the 25th anniver- sary of the Visegrád Group. This book brings together the finest, contempo- Wrary political minds to discuss eleven of the most important issues affecting Visegrád today. Ranging from the values and history of the V4 to the future growth and in- frastructural development in the region, it covers the most fundamental and pressing rea- sons for the continued cooperation. We hope that, through the views shared by these dis- tinguished voices and opinion-leaders, readers will gain insight into the Central European perspective on a variety of issues which are currently dominating discussions in the Euro- pean as well as global arenas. The Visegrád Group has always had the goal of being an active participant in the interna- tional, European and transatlantic communities. Today, it has accomplished and continues to reinforce its strong stance within these forums. Therefore, this book should be read not only as an account of the accomplishments of the last twenty-five years, but also as a possi- ble guide for the future hopes and potential dilemmas of the region. ARE THE IDEAS ON WHICH THE VISEGRÁD GROUP WAS FOUNDED STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY’S EUROPEAN POLITICS? The Visegrád Group signing ceremony in February 1991. V4 – 25 YEARS 10 A powerful symbol of the changes in 1989 – the cutting of a wire fence – has returned; an image which was supposed to belong to the past RUDOLF CHMEL (b.
