Emergency Intervention from Loreto by Floods in 2012 EMERGENCY INTERVENTION FROM LORETO BY FLOODS IN 2012 LESSONS LEARNED L RETO LESSONS LEARNED L O RETO EMERGENCY INTERVENTION FROM LORETO BY FLOODS IN 2012 Este documento ha sido elaborado con el Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil (INDECI), el Gobierno Regional de Loreto, el apoyo nanciero de Cruz Roja Peruana, Plan Internacional, UNICEF, OCHA y el apoyo técnico de COOPI, Cruz Roja Peruana, UNICEF, OCHA, FAO y Plan Internacional, en el marco de la respuesta a la emergencia por inundaciones en la Región Loreto en 2012. ESP AÑOL 001 Presentation / 05 Presentation The lived experience during the Regional Emergency caused by the floods and the unusual rise of the Amazonian rivers, which surpassed the levels registered in the previous years, allows us to prepare a situation analysis of the joint activities developed with local and national institutions and the valuable support of cooperation institutions, like UNICEF. During all the process of supportive activities, the Regional Operations Centre for Emergencies (COER-LORETO), created by Regional Executive Resolution Nº202-2012-GRL-P, dated April 02, 2012, has played a major role in attention to victims of the floods from the Amazonian rivers in 2012. It was this Regional Centre who brought together and channelled all the efforts for the installation of shelters in the city and their respective basic services such as health, drinking water and electric supply. It also coordinated with PRONAA daily the early delivery of food and provisions to all districts considered within the emergency. Humanitarian aid was obtained from the National Institute of Civil Defence (INDECI), chaired by Alfredo E. Murgueytio Espinoza, General of Division (R) and from cooperation organizations like: the United Firemen Sans Frontiers/BUSF, Spanish Red Cross, German Red Cross, CESVI, COOPI, UNICEF, OIM, OPS, Plan International, FAO and SHERTER BOX, among others. Most certainly, the intervention and response of UNICEF to this emergency was relevant, as it joint efforts to give special attention to the most vulnerable victims of this tragedy, children. We have absorbed the lessons learned from the emergency and gathered some valuable information for the future, which are captured in this book, named precisely, “Lessons Learned”. Iván E. Vásquez Valera President, Loreto Region 06 / Lessons Learned Loreto Executive Sumary ecause of the floods produced by the overflowing rivers in the BPeruvian Amazon, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers declared a State of Emergency in 43 districts of the Loreto region. Due to more than 220 thousand victims and enormous damage throughout Loreto’s territory, national, regional and district public institutions— in collaboration with international aid organizations—provided support to the affected population, by organizing and implementing a comprehensive response to the emergency in the priority sectors of Food, Collective Centers, Housing, Livelihoods, Health and Water, as well as Sanitation, Nutrition and Food Safety, Protection and Emotional Recovery, Education and Social Communication. This document aims to describe the good practices, the lessons learned and the limitations faced in the coordination and implementation of the humanitarian response actions and rehabilitation procedures that were carried out to deal with the emergency. This was possible thanks to the gathering and analysis of secondary sources of information; to the interviews to officers, authorities and specialists of 38 local, national and international, public and private institutions; to the involvement in the Provincial Workshop “Lessons Learned” in Yurimaguas; and to the results achieved in the thematic panels of housing and collective centres in the Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC) of Loreto. It also shows that the coordination processes implemented for the humanitarian intervention were strengthened by the inclusion of components of Disaster Risk Management in the governmental plans of some District Municipalities, by the installation of the Regional Emergency Operations Center, by the leadership of the Regional Government of Loreto, by the technical assistance provided by national institutions and by the ability to raise funds of organizations of the National Humanitarian Network. At the operational level, the inclusion of institutional strengthening components was positive. And, for future emergencies, the organization of two workshops of lessons learned (one regional and one provincial) was extremely useful. Other good practices in response to this emergency were the transformation of the thematic panels of Collective centres and Housing in Loreto in permanent spaces for discussion; the transfer of funds to support response actions by the National Government to the regional Health and Agricultural sectors; the validation of only one plan of action shared in Water and Sanitation; the setup of Protection and Socio-emotional Recovery spaces, dedicated to minors in collective centres and affected areas; the inter-institutional development of a contingency plan and an emergency curriculum in Education; and the validation of a communication campaign common to the entire intervention.

The potential and high expectation of medicinal plants for local healthcare and livelihood and as biodiversity manage- ment is prevalent globally. This study assesses the extent to which medicinal plants bring benefits in biodiversity management and improve livelihood and healthcare in indigenous villages near a small city, a second tier city in theProofs central Peruvian Amazon, taking into consideration the course of urbanization. A total of 81 people living in two villages were interviewed. The results show that unlike areas surrounding large cities in the Amazon, areas around the second tier city do not have the conditions to commercialize medicinal plants to support livelihood. Therefore, the local utilization of medicinal plants does not deteriorate the forest resources, thus medicinal plants would not be expected to be a driver for biodiversity management.

  • This Is a Pre-Copy-Editing, Author-Produced PDF of an Article Accepted Following Peer Review for Publication in Geoforum
    This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted following peer review for publication in Geoforum Making “a racket” but does anybody care? A study into environmental justice access and recognition through the political ecology of voice Adrian Gonzalez, Cardiff University. There is now growing support for the United Nations to explicitly recognise the human right to a healthy environment, and to strengthen the fight for environmental justice. One key consideration is to explore how accessible environmental justice is for citizens in low- and middle-income countries, who are adversely affected by pollution problems. This article will evaluate citizen access to environmental justice through the state via a case-study of Peru. To do so, the article utilises the political ecology of voice (PEV) theoretical framework. PEV can be defined as the study of several economic, political, social, and geographical factors over a specific temporal period, and their impact upon the use of voice by different stakeholders. The research was centred on two communities affected by oil pollution events within Peru’s Loreto Region. It will show that Loreto’s rural population are subjected to “shadow environmental citizenship”, in which they have only peripheral access to environmental justice through the state, which also does not adequately recognise or support their right to seek redress. This in turn, forces people to seek access and recognition of environmental justice through more unorthodox or radical forms of action, or via the support of non-state actors. Key Words: environmental justice; oil pollution; Peru; political ecology of voice; shadow environmental citizenship; political ecology 1.

    Republic of Peru FY2018 Ex-post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan “Iquitos Sewerage Improvement and Expansion Project” External Evaluator: Nobuyuki Kobayashi, OPMAC Corporation 0. Summary The objective of this project is to treat sewage properly and to widen the coverage of sewerage service in Iquitos in the Department of Loreto, one of the major cities in the Amazon region, by improving and expanding the sewerage system, thereby contributing to improved sanitary conditions and living environment in the area. This project was highly relevant to the country’s development plan and development needs, as well as to Japan’s ODA policy. Regarding the project plan and the approach, however, it can be concluded that an assessment should have been made at the time of the appraisal whether the sewage collection method and the sewage treatment method of this project would function adequately considering local circumstances. Therefore, its relevance is fair. Considering the changes in outputs in this project, the cost of this project exceeded the plan. In addition, the project period significantly exceeded the plan. Therefore, efficiency of the project is low. Regarding the indicators for the outcome of this project (the proper treatment of sewage in Iquitos and the expansion of sewerage coverage), out of the seven indicators set at the ex-ante evaluation, five have not been achieved. The sewage treatment plant has stopped its operation since July 2016. Regarding the impacts of this project improvements in hygiene conditions and living environment of the residents in Iquitos, no impacts has been verified as the contribution of this project. This project achieved its objectives at a limited level and, thus, the effectiveness and impacts of the project are low.

  • Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Malaria Incidence in the Peruvian Amazon Region Between 2002 and 2013
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Spatio-temporal analysis of malaria incidence in the Peruvian Amazon Region between 2002 and 2013 Received: 04 April 2016 Veronica Soto-Calle1,*, Angel Rosas-Aguirre1,2,*, Alejandro Llanos-Cuentas1, Accepted: 06 December 2016 Emmanuel Abatih3, Redgi DeDeken3, Hugo Rodriguez4, Anna Rosanas-Urgell3, Published: 16 January 2017 Dionicia Gamboa5, Umberto D´Alessandro6,7,8, Annette Erhart6,8,† & Niko Speybroeck2,† Malaria remains a major public health problem in the Peruvian Amazon where the persistence of high-risk transmission areas (hotspots) challenges the current malaria control strategies. This study aimed at identifying significant space-time clusters of malaria incidence in Loreto region 2002–2013 and to determine significant changes across years in relation to the control measures applied. Poisson regression and purely temporal, spatial, and space-time analyses were conducted. Three significantly different periods in terms of annual incidence rates (AIR) were identified, overlapping respectively with the pre-, during, and post- implementation control activities supported by PAMAFRO project. The most likely space-time clusters of malaria incidence for P. vivax and P. falciparum corresponded to the pre- and first two years of the PAMAFRO project and were situated in the northern districts of Loreto, while secondary clusters were identified in eastern and southern districts with the latest onset and the shortest duration of PAMAFRO interventions. Malaria in Loreto was highly heterogeneous at geographical level and over time. Importantly, the excellent achievements obtained during 5 years of intensified control efforts totally vanished in only 2 to 3 years after the end of the program, calling for sustained political and financial commitment for the success of malaria elimination as ultimate goal.
