  • Kujalleq Nutaaq ERHVERVSUDVIKLINGS FORSLAG for Kommune Kujalleq
    Kujalleq Nutaaq ERHVERVSUDVIKLINGS FORSLAG for Kommune Kujalleq Version 1.0 - 2020 Innovation South Greenland A/S, Torvevej 34, Postboks 313, 3920 Qaqortoq, Greenland Oqarasuaat +299 537777, e-mail: [email protected] Forord Innovation South Greenland arbejder målrettet for at få udviklingen i gang i hele Sydgrønland. Dette dokument afspejler anbefalingerne til Kommunalbestyrelsen. 1. Ser man på infrastrukturen er det gennem en årrække blevet svært at rejse rundt i Kommunen. 2. Det er en udfordring at få vareforsyninger, dyrt og svært at sende varer fra sydgrønland og svært at holde møder osv. Af disse og flere andre årsager er udviklingen gået nærmest i stå. 3. Resultatet har været at der er sket en gradvis en fraflytning. Desuden har personer med højere kompetencer fået gode jobs andre steder. Det er ganske enkelt blevet svært at skabe et livsgrundlag på et personligt plan, for familier og for erhvervslivet. Derfor har man etableret Innovation South Greenland A/S for at skabe vækst, udvikling og rådgivning af iværksættere. En konkret opgave som er blevet givet Innovation South Greenland A/S er at finde en løsning for Narsarsuaq i et nyt scenarie. Det vigtige er imidlertid at se på hele Sydgrønland som en sammenhængende region. Den første forudsætning er at skabe håb og troværdighed. Dernæst at man får en tidssvarende infrastruktur på plads. Ydermere skal der opdyrkes en iværksætterkultur som understøttes af igangsætning af konkrete projekter. Sidst og ikke mindst skal der tiltrækkes investeringer udefra og indgås bilaterale aftaler som kan styrke regionen. Erhvervsudviklingen skal baseres på et tæt samarbejde med Erhvervslivet, Kommunen, Selvstyret og Uddannelsesinstitutionerne i kommunen.

  • Honduras Was the Central American Country Hardest Hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998
    BaBaBa ckground Information Honduras was the Central American country hardest hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. This natural disaster took some 6 000 lives and just as many disappeared. 70% of all crops were destroyed, not to mention all of the damage caused to homes, services and infrastructures. Today, Honduras and its population have not only recovered from this tragedy, but have begun a strong comeback thanks to an organized reconstruction program. However, two out of three people still live under the poverty line. Source: CIDA (PROMESAS Program), IDRC (International Development Research Center), CARE Instructions Read the following text and complete the activity suggested by your teacher. Circumstances In a small rural community in Honduras, village council members decided to ask for the support for a development program for a cooperative project. Several options are available: there are government financial assistance programs made possible thanks to international aid, and as well, several non-governmental organizations which are oriented towards development programs offer assistance. The council delegated David, the leader of the community, to meet with various representatives in Tegucigalpa to explore the options which are offered to the village. Scene 1 Today, David is back from the capital city. He stayed there over a week to meet with various governmental representatives, and others from non-governmental Honduran organizations as well as others from various countries. The villagers can’t wait to hear how the meetings went! David decided on a very interesting offer. He thus returned to the village to inform everyone of it. The council members were invited to a meeting at his place..
