Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Tropical and International Agriculture, Germany; 2. Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Germany; 3. Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Germany Introduction . Reducing poverty has become an essential part of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and need to achieve. Microenterprises (MEs) have played an important role in rural developmental activities and were long recognized as vital in poverty alleviation in Indonesia. The developing world has in fact led the way in promoting the importance of rural finance. Access to commercial services is restricted in rural areas and the services can not meet the demand for financial services by rural households. Many microenterprises belong to poor and they are unable to provide collateral. Objectives Credit Limit There were two objectives formulated in this research: . In Indonesia, the official definition of microcredit covers all loans under IDR 50 million 1. To provide a review for the gap between the number of microenterprises (approximately US$5,500). being assisted and the overall number who might need assistance. Only seven percent of microenterprises have credit limit above IDR 50 million (Figure 4). 2. To determine effect of determinant factors which were found in research Figure 4.

  • Urban Architecture for Sustaining Local Identity of Cultural Landscapes: a Study of Water Front Development in Khartoum, Sudan
    International Journal of Development and Sustainability Online ISSN: 2168-8662 – www.isdsnet.com/ijds Volume 4 Number 1 (2015): Pages 29-59 ISDS Article ID: IJDS14072701 Urban architecture for sustaining local identity of cultural landscapes: A study of water front development in Khartoum, Sudan Mohammad H. Refaat * Landscape Architecture Professor, Department of Urban Design Faculty of Urban & Regional Planning, Cairo University, Egypt Abstract Landscape is an indicator of common heritage as a combination of natural and cultural heritage. The of Landscape Architecture profession hosts several levels of intervention, starting from the planning level, the designing level, land suitability and water resources. This is done by applying scientific methods such as, ecological, economical, and social processes. Landscape is important as it provides the setting for our everyday lives. It is not only defined as a place of special interest nor does it refer solely to the countryside. It is the result of how people have interacted with the natural, social and cultural components of their environment and how they then perceive these. In recent years the land uses within the cities have been changing rapidly due to the various development pressures, and the tendency towards replacing all open spaces, public activities, and recreation areas to commercial and industrial uses has been enormous. The main objective of this research is to introduce an urban landscape design approach in dealing with cities waterfronts as a tool to enhance the overall sustainable the cultural landscape local identity within the urban structure of the city, taking the city of Khartoum, Sudan as a case study.

  • Prior Compliance List of Aircraft Operators Specifying the Administering Member State for Each Aircraft Operator – June 2014
    Prior compliance list of aircraft operators specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator – June 2014 Inclusion in the prior compliance list allows aircraft operators to know which Member State will most likely be attributed to them as their administering Member State so they can get in contact with the competent authority of that Member State to discuss the requirements and the next steps. Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014. The present version of the prior compliance list includes those aircraft operators, which have submitted their fleet lists between December 2013 and January 2014. BELGIUM CRCO Identification no.

The methodology underlines this article is of two folds; 1) critical literature review of both published and unpublished literature related to Tuti Island; 2) and in-depth interviews with local citizens, public officials. The interviews designed to explore their concerns regarding current planning challenges and their proposals for addressing them. Information from local and international literature has been used to contextualize the findings. This paper revealed that there is a territorial fragmentation and massive decrease of fertile agriculture land in Tuti Island. The latter observation is associated with that peoples became less attached to their homeland and therefore loosing their original identity. This article also found that both the Government and private investors see Tuti as a crossroad and potential investment place.

Lobban, Jr. Working as an urban anthropologist in the Three Towns capital area of the Sudan I sometimes uncovered unexpected material, including two known cases of Sudanese opposition to British colonial rule, which are presented in this paper. So often the English language literature accepts the "civilizing" mission and "even-handed" governance of the colonial authorities. My research has shown that such judgments are difficult to support. Since this special commemorative issue of Africa Today is celebrating a quarter century of national independence of the Sudan I have sought to use the case study method to reconstruct something of the perception of colonial rule from the eyes of the colonized rather than col- onizer. Although it should go without saying, the British forces arrived in the Sudan as a result of military conquest with battlefields anointed in Sudanese blood.

  • Air Transport and Destabilizing Commodity Flows 24 DESTABILIZING May 2009
    STOCKHOLM INTERNATIONAL PEACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE SIPRI Policy Paper AIR TRANSPORT AND Air Transport and Destabilizing Commodity Flows 24 DESTABILIZING May 2009 Destabilizing and illicit flows of small arms and light weapons, cocaine, COMMODITY FLOWS tobacco and valuable raw materials fuel the war economies that have devastated much of Africa in recent decades. This Policy Paper hugh griffiths and mark bromley unequivocally establishes the role of air transport across the full spectrum of these commodity flows. It also demonstrates the extent to which air transport actors named in United Nations and other arms trafficking- related reports have become enmeshed in humanitarian aid, peace support, stability operations and defence logistics supply chains. This pioneering analysis provides a range of policy options available to the European Union (EU) for improving mechanisms for monitoring and controlling these air transport actors. It shows that existing EU tools and empirically proven programmes can be adapted and applied with minimal cost and effort to address some of the most pressing security threats facing the world today.
