Annual Report 2000/01 Annual Report 2000/2001 Overseas Developmentinstitute from Publicandprivatesources Overseas Development Institute Annual Report 2000/01 40 years at the forefront of international development policy Overseas Development Institute ODI is Britain’s leading independent think-tank on international development and humanitarian issues. Our mission is to inspire and inform policy and practice which lead to the reduction of poverty, the alleviation of suffering and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in developing countries. We do this by locking together high-quality applied research, practical policy advice, and policy-focused dissemination and debate. We work with partners in the public and private sectors, in both developing and developed countries. ODI’s work centres on five research and policy programmes: the Poverty and Public Policy Group, the International Economic Development Group, the Humanitarian Policy Group, the Rural Policy and Environment Group, and the Forest Policy and Environment Group. ODI publishes two journals, the Development Policy Review and Disasters, and manages three international networks linking researchers, policy-makers and practitioners: the Agricultural Research and Extension Network, the Rural Development Forestry Network, and the Humanitarian Practice (formerly Relief and Rehabilitation) Network. In addition, it hosts the Secretariat of the Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Assistance. ODI also manages the ODI Fellowship Scheme, which places up to twenty young economists a year on attachment to the governments of developing countries. As a registered charity, ODI is dependent on outside funds and is supported by grants and donations from public and private sources.

I did not make use of another student’s previous work and I submit this as my own words. 4. I did not allow anyone to copy this work with the intention of presenting it as their own work.

Date: 3 December 2019 Student number: u12083802 __________________________ 2 Foreword I started my MTh and was unsure of a topic to cover. I knew that Hinduism was the religion I was interested in. Dr. Sukdaven suggested that I embark on the study of the concept of Maya. Although this concept provided a challenge for me and my faith, I wish to thank Dr. Sukdaven for giving me the opportunity to cover such a deep philosophical concept in Hinduism. This concept Maya is deeper than one expects and has broaden and enlightened my mind. Even though this was a difficult theme to cover it did however, give me a clearer understanding of how the world is seen in Hinduism. 3 List of Abbreviations AD Anno Domini BC Before Christ BCE Before Common Era BS Brahmasutra Upanishad BSB Brahmasutra Upanishad with commentary of Sankara BU Brhadaranyaka Upanishad with commentary of Sankara CE Common Era EW Emperical World GB Gitabhasya of Shankara GK Gaudapada Karikas Rg Rig Veda SBH Sribhasya of Ramanuja Svet.

  • The Aruni (Aruneyi) Upanishad Translated by Swami Madhavananda - Published by Advaita Ashram, Kolkatta
    The Aruni (Aruneyi) Upanishad Translated by Swami Madhavananda - Published by Advaita Ashram, Kolkatta Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality And all the senses grow in strength. All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads. May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me. Let there be no denial at all: Let there be no denial at least from me. May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me, Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me. Om ! Let there be Peace in me ! Let there be Peace in my environment ! Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me ! ’ 1. Om. Aruna s son went to the sphere of Brahma, the Creator, and reaching there “ ” said, Lord, in what way can I relinquish work altogether ? Brahma said to him: You must give up your sons, brothers, friends, and the rest, your hair-tuft and the holy thread, your sacrifices and books regulating them, your scriptures; must give up the (seven upper) spheres entitled Bhur, Bhuvar, Svar, Mahar, Jana, Tapas, and Satya, and the (seven nether) spheres, viz., Atala, Patala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasatala, Talatala and Mahatala, together with the (whole) universe; and must take on the staff and the scanty clothing of the Sannyasin; you must renounce everything else, aye, everything else. 2. The householder, or the Brahmachari, or the Vanaprashta should commit the fires that lead to the different spheres to the fire that is in the stomach, and consign the sacred Mantra, Gayatri, to the fire that is in his own speech, should throw the holy ’ thread on the ground or into water.

  • Game of Thrones? – Davos, the Download
    Game of Thrones? – Davos, the download Mark Campanale, Tribe Impact Capital Fellow and Founder of the Carbon Tracker Initiative, reports back on his personal take from this year’s Davos. On arriving, you quickly come to understand that the World Economic Forum in Davos isn’t one event, but a series. Focused around the ‘official’ conference, global heads of corporations and governments gather: this is what we see covered on CNN or the BBC news networks. Outside this zone, a much larger muddle of NGO, policymakers and com- mentators gather, fighting for attention of both media and attendees. This parallel Davos is less well known, but is as jam-packed. And this is where I spent my week. The key to making Davos work for you is to learn how to navigate the complex network of parallel events, receptions and dinners. As there is no ‘programme’ to skim through, so working out where to be – and with whom - requires a good network. If fortune shines on you, attending events with just a ‘hotel pass’ (rather than the official ’basic’ at- tendance pass that can cost $50,000) can be and is often thoroughly rewarding. The schedule I created was focused on sustainability, financing the SDGs, climate change, sustainable food systems and yes - inevitably – what block chain will do to turn the world of business and finance on its head. If you like hopping between bars and hotel lobbies and dropping informally into wide ranging but thoughtful discus- sions (often with well-known public figures) then Davos is worth the hassle.

    With the compliments of Mark Malloch Brown Administrator 13 October, 2000 Dear Mr. Secretary-General, Support for UN reform at Country Level Attached please find the original signed letter, a copy of which had been earlier transmitted to you. Regards. Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary-General United Nations United Nations Development Programme, One United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017 97001 UNITED NATIONS Office of the U.N. Resident Coordinator United Republic of Tanzania ORG 130/3/UN-UNDAF 5 March 2001 Dear Mr. Annan, Support for UN Reform at Country Level We, the members of the UN Country Management Team in Tanzania, are writing to you to ask for your assistance. We have just finished the UNDAF for Tanzania. Through the CCA and UNDAF processes, we have come to a common understanding of poverty in Tanzania, in all of its complexity. We have been able to link our CCA and UNDAF processes to nationally owned and led processes, thereby strengthening capacity for the national processes, and ensuring that our UNDAF does reflect national priorities. Further, we have identified from the national poverty reduction priorities, those strategies where the UN System has some comparative advantage, and where, by working together, we can make much greater impact than working alone. We would therefore like to commend you for having introduced these processes, as part of your efforts to drive UN Reform. We are now preparing to move to the next stage of the reform process, where we develop and implement "UN" programs in those priority areas. Working together in a coordinated way has many clear benefits, most importantly in terms of greater impact on poverty.
