World Bank Document 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. If any given activity/issue is triggered by checking “yes”, a reference is made to Public Disclosure Authorized the appropriate section in the following table, which contains clearly formulated management and mitigation measures. Part 3 represents the monitoring plan for activities during project construction and implementation. It retains the same format required for EMPs proposed under normal Bank requirements for Category B projects. It is the intent of this checklist that Part 2 and Part 3 be included into the bidding documents for contractors, priced during the bidding process and diligent implementation supervised during works execution. Public Disclosure Authorized CONTENTS 1. General Project and Site Information 2. Safeguards Information 3. Mitigation Measures 4. Monitoring Plan PART 1: GENERAL PROJECT AND SITE INFORMATION INSTITUTIONAL & ADMINISTRATIVE Country Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYR Macedonia) Project title Conditional Cash Transfer Project Scope of project and The project development objectives are to strengthen the effectiveness and activity efficiency of FYR Macedonia’s social safety net through (a) the introduction of conditional cash transfers; and (b) improvements in the administration, oversight, monitoring, and evaluation of social assistance transfers. The transfers will be used for reducing poverty, enhancing human capital and aim towards improving the future opportunities of the recipients. An assessment of the physical conditions in existing Social Work Centers (SWCs) which will be supported under the project indicated that some renovation/reconstruction work would be needed to ensure successful operation of those SCWs. The project would support the most necessary renovation/reconstruction work on the existing premises of the SWCs. No new construction would be financed, and only rehabilitation and reconstruction work of existing buildings within their existing footprint will be undertaken..

  • The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
    XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention.

  • Portals and Doors in Traditional Ohrid Architecture
    PORTALS AND DOORS IN TRADITIONAL OHRID ARCHITECTURE Elena Nikoljski Panevski, Vladimir Karanakov ABSTRACT The basis for this scientific work is traditional Macedonian architecture, with emphasis on old doorway of family houses and religious objects (sacral and profane architecture). Ohrid has always been interesting for examination from these aspects, because of the fact that it has lots of historical monuments. The old part of the city contains houses, museums and churches which are one of the quality examples for traditional Macedonian architecture. The main purpose of this paper is to learn more about details in architecture, and of course, the value of details, especially old doors, portals, their dimensions, characteristics, art style, their constructors etc. This is because there is a lot of information originating from literature, books, study works and other written sources about Macedonian traditional architecture, but there is not much information about their details such as doors, windows, portals, etc. These beautiful, genius objects were built in the 19 th century. Today, they attract people who love art with its special charm and beauty, and inspire specialists - architects - for its contemporary application and creation, releasing it from fake values. There are many towns in Macedonia with well-preserved architecture dating from the 19 th century: Krushevo, Kratovo, Novo Selo, Tetovo, Debar, Struga, Prilep, Kriva Palanka, Strumica. Central place among them takes Ohrid, in particular ancient Lychinidos. REFERENCES Adorno, T. (1979): The theory of aestetics, Beograd. Aleksievska Hadzieva, J.

  • The Referendum of November 7Th in Macedonia
    Back to the future: the referendum of November 7th in Macedonia Albert van Hal1 1. Introduction The referendum of November 7th, 2004 in Macedonia — that wanted to reject the law on new municipal boundaries — failed completely. The turn out was only 26%. Since the end of the war of 2001 this referendum was the most serious test for the stability of the country so far. For the moment, Macedonia has left the past behind and has its eyes back on the future. To understand the current political situation in Macedonia this article describes the ups and downs which Macedonia has experienced in its struggle for stability in recent history and especially since the war of 2001. I will give special attention to the topic of decentralisation: the proposed changes to municipal borders, the role of the different political parties in this process, the popular response to it and the outcome of the referendum. Also the international position of Macedonia and the role the EU, the USA and Iraq played during this ‘crisis’ is explained. The article ends by looking forward. 2. Ethnic composition Macedonia was part of Yugoslavia until 1991, when it became an independent republic. Macedonia is a country with just over 2 million inhabitants, representing a wide variety of different ethnic groups. Ethnic groups in the Republic of Macedonia Ethnic group % of population Macedonian 64.18 Albanian 25.17 Turkish 3.85 Roma 2.66 Serbs 1.78 Bosniacs 0.84 Vlachs 0.48 Other 1.04 Total 100 Source: National Institute for Statistics, Skopje, 2002 1 Albert van Hal is project manager Kosovo and Macedonia at the Dutch IKV (Inter-Church Peace Council).
