    E2120 EMP Checklist for Construction and Rehabilitation Activities General Guidelines for use of EMP checklist: For low-risk topologies, such as school and hospital rehabilitation activities, the ECA Public Disclosure Authorized safeguards team developed an alternative to the current EMP format to provide an opportunity for a more streamlined approach to preparing EMPs for minor rehabilitation or small-scale works in building construction, in the health, education and public services sectors. The checklist-type format has been developed to provide “example good practices” and designed to be user friendly and compatible with safeguard requirements. The EMP checklist-type format attempts to cover typical core mitigation approaches to civil works contracts with small, localized impacts. It is accepted that this format provides the key elements of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or Environmental Management Framework (EMF) to meet World Bank Environmental Assessment requirements under OP 4.01. The intention of this checklist is that it would be applicable as guidelines for the small works contractors and constitute an Public Disclosure Authorized integral part of bidding documents for contractors carrying out small civil works under Bank-financed projects. The checklist has three sections: Part 1 includes a descriptive part that characterizes the project and specifies in terms the institutional and legislative aspects, the technical project content, the potential need for capacity building program and description of the public consultation process. This section could be up to two pages long. Attachments for additional information can be supplemented when needed. Part 2 includes an environmental and social screening checklist, where activities and potential environmental issues can be checked in a simple Yes/No format.

  • Decentralization and Inter-Ethnic Cooperation
    DECENTRALIZATION AND INTER-ETHNIC COOPERATION: COMPARING MULTIETHNIC MUNICIPALITIES IN MACEDONIA By Olimpija Hristova Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Carsten Q. Schneider CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract After a small-scale ethnic conflict between the Macedonians and Albanians in 2001, Macedonia adapted power-sharing at the central level of government combined with decentralization in the form of enhanced local self-governance. With its mosaic multiethnic structure, Macedonia belongs to the group of ethnically, culturally and religiously divided societies where decentralized institutions were designed to accommodate increased demands for minority rights and to encourage different ethnic communities to cooperate. Yet whether decentralization serves its goal cannot be observed from the aggregate country level (Varshney 2002, Mehler and Tull 2011). Since decentralization exhibits its impacts at the subnational level, it is crucial to assess whether there is a variety of inter-ethnic cooperation across subnational units. Hence, the research question of this thesis is: What types of inter- ethnic cooperation are there across multiethnic municipalities in Macedonia seven years after the decentralization reforms? To address the research question, I engage in a systematic comparative analysis of nine multiethnic municipalities in Macedonia. The data gathering besides investigation of primary and secondary sources includes exploratory fieldwork through focus group interviews. Employing thematic and fuzzy set ideal type analysis, I derive four types of inter-ethnic cooperation among municipal councilors: dynamic, predominantly informal, pragmatic and minimal cooperation. Out of this analysis I derive hypotheses of the diverse impacts CEU eTD Collection decentralization has across subnational units within the same country.

The storms caused serious damages in the eastern part of the country, especially in the Municipality of Karbinci where a few villages were immediately evacuated due to the rise of the water levels of the rivers as well as the artificial lake Kalimanci and Gradche where the dams reached their full capacity. Due to the efforts of the National Coordinative Body, the people were evacuated in the city of Shtip or Radovish, while the cattle were moved to lands on a higher altitude.
