Project stakeholders were grouped into the following categories: governmental agencies; non-governmental organizations; local community groups; national agencies; private sector; international agencies. Governmental agencies Names and responsibilities vary between countries but across the region governmental stakeholders include ministries and their agencies responsible for: environment (may include hunting, wildlife trade, biodiversity, protected areas); agriculture (hunting, pesticides, some protected areas); forestry (some protected areas/ habitat restoration); waste management; local administration/ municipalities; electricity/ energy/ power; renewable energy; land use; planning; water/ irrigation; marine/ coastal management; climate change/ desertification; transport/ roads; petroleum; tourism; education. Others such as ministry of interior (hunting, trade), social affairs, health, justice, finance, defense and economy were identified in some country analyses. Across the region, key ministries and agencies are characterized by lack of awareness of MSBs, their conservation needs and the actual or potential impacts of their sector on MSBs and biodiversity generally. The readiness to collaborate with the project is very variable in different countries and in different sectors with some encouraging results from the PDF-B stage (e.g. Willingness of Lebanon and Sudan Ministries of Power/ Electricity to consider mitigation measures on power lines and siting of distribution networks away from flyways once the negative impacts on MSBs were explained). Government agricultural extension services working with rural communities were identified as useful existing mechanisms for awareness-raising and community involvement in the project. Non-governmental organizations and local community groups In 7 of the 11 project countries, the lead implementing agency is a national NGO which forms part of the Middle East or Africa Partnership of Birdlife International. (In other countries there is no strong tradition of NGO leadership in biodiversity conservation and the project will be led by a relevant government agency – e.g. Nature Conservation Sector of Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency; National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development in Saudi Arabia). In most project countries there is a wide range of other NGOs and community based organizations (CBOs) with interests and skills in wildlife, sustainable development, agriculture etc. which will contribute to project implementation (e.g. farmers' and fishermen's cooperatives and local community development organizations in Yemen). Particular NGO strengths identified in stakeholder analyses in several countries (e.g. Jordan, Lebanon, and Ethiopia) include community involvement, awareness-raising, environmental education and project management (e.g. through experience of managing regional and national BirdLife International Important Bird Areas programmes). In Palestine, the non-governmental Hunting Club will work with the project on an anti-hunting campaign to stop hunting of rare, threatened species. National agencies National agencies in some countries are key stakeholders whose involvement in the project is essential for success. In Jordan, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and Jordan Valley Authority (JVA) are the most influential bodies in terms of development, land management and enforcement of policy and legislation in the Aqaba and Jordan Valley bottlenecks. The Lebanese Council for Development and Reconstruction is responsible for planning and implementation of all large rehabilitation and development projects nationally. National unions and syndicates in Syria (e.g. Students, farmers, writers and teachers) are identified as key stakeholders in relation to public awareness. Private sector Key stakeholders in the private sector include hunting clubs and their members (e.g. Lebanon); Universities, research institutes and natural history museums; various branches of the media (TV, radio, newspapers); general public; private tour company operators (ecotourism potential). 43 International agencies UNDP Country Offices (COs) played strong roles in project development, through involvement in stakeholder workshops and in identifying opportunities for “mainstreaming” MSB conservation into other sectors and existing projects (“double mainstreaming”). Suitable projects for this approach, in agriculture, waste management, hunting and tourism have been identified through UNDP in 7 project countries; 6 projects in Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon will be part of the project Tranche I. COs also assisted project development and stakeholder participation through production of communication tools (project briefing sheets, fund-raising brochure, Power Point presentation on raptor migration). Other contributing international bodies include international NGOs (BirdLife International), other projects and donors (e.g. International development aid agencies). Project beneficiaries Although 4 sectors (agriculture, hunting, waste management and energy production) have been identified as representing significant threats to MSBs, this does not mean the stakeholders in these sectors will be disadvantaged by the project. Staff of government agencies, NGOs and some private sector groups will benefit from training and capacity building opportunities offered by the project. The “double mainstreaming” approach means that the project will add value to existing projects in these sectors and bring benefits to these sectoral groups – e.g. Hunters and farmers (Sustainable Hunting Project; Agricultural Development Project, both in Lebanon). Other MSB project inputs may be neutral in terms of impact on local communities but will benefit stakeholders directly involved in implementation (e.g. the Power Access and Diversification Project, Djibouti – siting and monitoring of wind turbines to ensure that these are “flyway-friendly”). There will also be “general public” benefits in terms of increased awareness and access to information. In other cases, the double mainstreaming approach means that the project will assist governments to improve and/ or enforce existing legislation and meet their own obligations in relation to international conventions (e.g. Strengthening the Lebanese Judiciary System in the Enforcement of Environmental Legislation; Strengthening Environmental Enforcement, Jordan). In relation to the tourism sector, the addition of MSB information and concerns can bring benefits in terms of new opportunities to attract tourists to bottleneck sites and to interpret both the MSBs experience and other natural heritage interest. There is potential for local community benefits through increasing ecotourism activity and revenues and this may have a positive impact on other sectoral groups (e.g. Farmers, hunters) who become involved in ecotourism (e.g. Sustainable Economic Growth in the Red Sea Governorate Project, Egypt). More details of all these projects and the “double mainstreaming” approach are given in Outcome 3, Project Strategy. Risks of negative impacts/ opposition to the project The national stakeholder analyses for each country revealed widespread lack of awareness of MSBs concerns. In some cases there was lack of interest and concern for MSBs even after approaches had been made by the project. (This was manifest particularly as reluctance by government staff to provide relevant sectoral information for national reviews during the PDF-B stage). However, there was no outright opposition to the project and its aims and no specific stakeholders were identified as being likely to suffer negative impacts or to oppose project activities. Hunters and farmers might be stakeholder groups who would take a negative attitude to attempts by the project to support strengthening or enforcement of relevant legislation (hunting, trade and pesticide

  • Mega Sporting Events and Human Rights
    Striving for Excellence: Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights Occasional Paper Series Paper Number 2 OCTOBER 2013 Occasional Paper Series Paper Number 2 OCTOBER 2013 Striving for Excellence: Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights About this Paper This is the second in a series of occasional papers by the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB). Papers in this series provide independent analysis and policy recommendations concerning timely subjects on the business and human rights agenda from the perspective of IHRB staff members and research fellows. IHRB Research Fellow, Lucy Amis, prepared this paper with input from IHRB team members. IHRB wishes to thank all those who offered comments on earlier drafts of the paper. Since 2011 when it launched the Staff Wanted Initiative with Anti-Slavery International in response to concerns around the exploitation of vulnerable work- ers, trafficking and forced labour in the hospitality sector in the run-up to the London 2012 Olympics, IHRB has taken an active interest in the business and human rights impacts of mega sporting events (MSEs). MSEs such as the Olympic Games, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup and Commonwealth Games – with their massive physical and commercial footprints – afford a rare opportunity to address a broad spectrum of business and human rights concerns within a microcosm, and to explore possible new approaches to integrating respect for human rights across a wide range of relationships and practices.

  • Equality in Saudi Arabia Workforce
    Equality in Saudi Arabia Workforce Dr. Amal Hatem Galloway PhD in human resources management, Curtin University, Western Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has adopted a long-term strategy for the development of Saudi human resources and the creation of a national workforce to promote the development of the national economy. The Kingdom's interest in human resources development included both men and women, which opened the opportunity for women to join the Saudi workforce without interfering with religion and in the context of customs and traditions. Companies in the public or private sectors must comply with legislative requirements that ensure both diversity and equality of their workforce. There are still administrative, regulatory, and social obstacles that prevent women from joining the labor market. Saudi women, who account for 51 percent of the total population, account for 16 percent of the total workforce, mainly in the education and medical sectors, as the educational options available to Saudi women are limited to specific areas. Equality in the Saudi workforce has a long way to go, but there are encouraging signs that the issue is now gaining momentum in the Kingdom, in this paper the author is highlighting the challenges faced by Saudi Arabia women and the equality situation nowadays. Key words: Diversity, equality, workforce, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Introduction Patterns of the gender division at work that might appear normal to ordinary observers are a result of historical processes linked at their core to the industrial revolution and the current organization of labor (Padavic & Reskin, 2002).

  • CLASSIFICATION and ANALYSIS of URBAN and ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE BUILDINGS in EMARITE of JAZAN in KINGDOM of SAUDI ARABIA Salma I
    56 Journal of Engineering Sciences Assiut University Faculty of Engineering Vol. 48 No. 1 January 2020 PP. 65–81 CLASSIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF URBAN AND ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE BUILDINGS IN EMARITE OF JAZAN IN KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA Salma I. Dwidar Architecture Department, Faculty of Fine arts, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt Architectural Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Prince Sultan University, Riyadh, KSA Received 26 June 2019; Accepted 7 July 2019 ABSTRACT Jazan is considered one of the most important emirates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its Architectural heritage is divers due to its wide spread. The heritage buildings in particular represent a huge cultural and heritage wealth and must be preserved by documentation, as the Kingdom is witnessing rapid development and a marked increase in the rates of civil and urban growth, and emerged architectural patterns that are far from their environment. This led to the abandonment of its Architectural heritage, which stems from its specificity, its originality, and is characterized largely by the development of the local characteristics. This represents the need to study and explore the urban heritage in the region, to achieve the local identity of Jazan and to benefit as much as possible from the remaining heritage experiences. In this research, several heritage buildings and urban in Jazan are being categorized and structured, because this type of building and urban fabric gives us a broad and comprehensive idea of how social, economic and political life were pursued. This research is concurrent with interest on the official and popular level towards the case of Jazan in general and the state of the historical region in particular.
