The challenge is to foster and mainstream these new partnerships with guidelines, regulations and investment practices for managing ecosystems and landscapes from farms to catchments. Such alliances are also required for promoting intensification strategies, environmental services, land care, conservation of the land and biodiversity, livelihoods diversification, conservation agriculture and eco-agriculture. Other emerging issues include urban agriculture and linking mitigation, risk and response for vulnerable systems and populations, including HIV-AIDS. There were seven Roundtables in Theme 4. Roundtable moderators are listed in parentheses. Notes on discussion highlights and recommended follow up actions follow for most of the Roundtables. • Agropastoral and Dryland Systems (French language; Rym Ben Zid) • Poverty, Farming Systems and Biodiversity (Tekelenberg and Hellin) • Conservation Agriculture and Natural Resource Management (Wall and Kienzle) • The Farming Systems Approach and its Cousins (Neely and Dixon) • Millennium Development Goals and Farming Systems (Dixon and Bindraban) • Sustainable Intensification and Integrated farming Systems (Mudhara and Mekuria) • Development Pathways and Targeting Research and Development Interventions (Adesemi, Woods and la Rovere) Theme 4 Roundtable (French language): Agro pastoral and dry lands systems Moderator: Rym Bin Zid There were five papers and presentations: • New organization for local irrigation water management (Morocco), • Moving crops in greenhouses in the ‘Zibans’ (Algeria), • Development of dairy goat rearing and goat cheese processing as a generating income activity for women (Morocco), • Role of the National Development Project for Agricultural Development in regards to recent changes in the farming systems of oasis of Oued Righ (Algeria) and, • Development of agro-pastoralism in the area of Tioucha (Tunisia). 4 IFSA GLO 2005 Papers Theme 4: Development Strategies, Pathways and Synergies The presentations were quite diverse. Cross-cutting elements identified were: • As a consequence of government policies and programs, the emergence of new types of labor and input intensive farming systems especially in the ‘Zibans’ and the oasis of Oued Righ (Algeria). Those systems seem to be highly profitable and in these case studies, there was a shift from staple crops farming to market oriented farming, • the creation of new types of farmer/women organizations: until now very few projects have responded to women needs and water management in irrigated areas was usually controlled by government agencies. These new organizations developed specific activities as dairy goat rearing (cooperative of women in Skoura, southern Morroco). As irrigated farming systems are developing in the ‘ Middle Atlas’ in Morocco and as there is a progressive withdrawal of government agencies from agricultural development, a formal water user association taking into consideration farmers’ needs emerged spontaneously and , • the progressive development of technical innovations as a result of adequate policies set up for a long time by government agencies as the adoption and development of Opuntia in Central Tunisia by poor resource farmers to feed up sheep and goats as Central Tunisia is a drought prone area. Water management as well as resource scarcity was the key issue addressed in that roundtable through different angles: aspects related to production have been mentioned (new farming systems developed) but also aspects related to marketing and community development. Main trends identified during the dicussions were : • Market oriented farming systems are shaping and developing in place of the staple crops farming systems. Those market oriented systems have got different shapes and scales : systems in areas where top down methods and approaches have been used as in Algeria are quite different from systems developing in areas where participatory methods were adopted as in Skoura in Southern Morrocco or as in Tioucha (Tunisia) where a farmer to farmer learning has occurred to develop apple tree cropping. Simultaneously to that shift, marketing systems are also setting up although with some constraints and, • combined with this first trend, farmer/women organizations are setting up and in some case, in order to strengthen their activities, are trying to diversify them and to shift, as for example in the association in the ‘Middle

Executive Summary This inventory of sector-based workforce strategies has been developed as part of the regional planning process described in the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) that was implemented July 1, 2015. In addition to promoting regional planning and regional workforce programming, this new legislation calls for an emphasis of engaging businesses in a sector-based approach to identify needs and provide workforce solutions. Further, this inventory of sector-based workforce strategies involves coordination with the REDC (and their priority sectors) as well as with other organizations in the region involved in sector based workforce strategies. The intent of the inventory is to assist the Regional Economic Development Council in addressing the Governor’s priority to “Train the Workforce for Today and Tomorrow” outlined in the 2016 REDC Competition Guidebook. This inventory identifies specific sector-based workforce strategies that the workforce boards participate in along with their local career centers, as well as other relevant initiatives identified by workforce and training related entities in the region.

  • Maritime Boundaries Delimitation, Management and Dispute Resolution
    MARITIME BOUNDARIES DELIMITATION, MANAGEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION DELIMITATION OF THE MOZAMBIQUE MARITIME BOUNDARIES WITH NEIGHBOURING STATES (INCLUDING THE EXTENDED CONTINENTAL SHELF) AND THE MANAGEMENT OF OCEAN ISSUES ELÍSIO BENEDITO JAMINE The United Nations and Nippon Fellowship Programme 2006-2007 Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea Office of Legal Affairs United Nations, NY, USA ABSTRACT The Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC) establishes the jurisdictional regimes under which a coastal State can claim, manage, and utilize its ocean resources. With an increasing recognition of the need to administer competing resource use interests in the ocean and seabed, and the requirement to ensure sustainable exploitation of these resources, Mozambique has an ambitious program for the establishment of its maritime boundaries, including the outer limits of its extended Continental Shelf (CS). Mozambique faces the problem of lack of delimitation and negotiation of the maritime boundaries, connected to the lack of a comprehensive framework for management of maritime issues, lack of appropriate technology to quantify, qualify, and exploit the resources that lie in the sea, and lack of means by which to exercise and guarantee its sovereign rights. These problems obstruct the Mozambican State, as a sovereign subject of international law of the sea (LOS), from being able to take independent initiatives in pursuit of her internal and external policy objectives. The lack of delimitation of the maritime boundaries appears as a constraint for the State. Mozambique is not in a position to exercising all her rights and duties in accordance with LOSC with respect to jurisdiction and the exercise of sovereignty in these spaces.

  • An Economic Development Region Analysis
    Labor Force Trends in New York State: An Economic Development Region Analysis Elizabeth Womack Program on Applied Demographics Cornell University November 2017 Program on Applied Demographics Web: http://pad.human.cornell.edu Email: [email protected] I. Executive Summary The objective of this white paper is to expand on the September 2017 “Labor Force Trends in New York State” report authored by the Office of the New York State Comptroller, and to highlight its findings in regards to the 10 Economic Development Regions of New York State. The September report’s key findings are that 1) the labor force for New York State has been decreasing and 2) there has been a surge in participation of older individuals (65+ years and older) in the labor force. This white paper will discuss Finding 1, which is notably prevalent in 5 of the 10 Economic Development Regions. Additionally, this white paper will discuss Finding 2 by exploring changes in population growth and labor force shares of “aged-out”prime working age individuals (65+). Unlike the September 2017 report, this paper has a focus on examining labor force trends by Economic Development Region. This paper is organized in the following manner: First, an overview discussion of the New York labor force by Economic Development Region is entertained for the 2010-2016 timeframe on topics of the labor force population, the unemployment rate, the number of individuals employed, and the labor force participation rate. Following, factors affecting the aforementioned topics are examined more closely, including population growth and migration. The findings of labor force trends that are presented in this white paper, by economic development region, are summarized in Table 1 below.

Therefore, it is substantial to ensure the sustainability of the process as attempts to deal with the dynamics problems of the disaster management. As the process requires interactions among stakeholders in delivering the actions, hence a governance arrangement is substantial in the disaster management. While the governments play role as the main generator of the arrangement, this research reveals that the NGOs (Non- Governmental Organizations) play major part in supporting the disaster management process. Accordingly, this research aims to address whether the NGOs play such roles in dealing with the dynamics situation of the disaster management process.
