Through the WAZA Global Strategy Resolution (RES 73.1), WAZA agreed to assume a leadership role in a Global Species Congress, develop the WAZA membership to incorporate influential global zoos and aquariums, as well as to represent the highest possible standards of animal welfare. The Global Strategy will see WAZA working together with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) to develop and implement a Global Species Plan and Summit, based on a 2008 resolution by the IUCN that called for an international summit “to highlight the status of the planet’s species, articulate and review the cons quences of the threats that they face, and chart their future conservation.” 2018 Annual Report | 9 WAZA Office Relocation In 2018 WAZA embarked on a new phase in its 83-year history with the relocation of the WAZA Executive Office to Barcelona, Spain. WAZA moved its headquarters from Gland, Switzerland where the office had been based since 2010. WAZA was originally founded as the International Association of Directors of Zoological Gardens in Basel, Switzerland, in 1935. After a hiatus of more than a decade due to World War II, the organisation was re-established and renamed the International Union of Directors of Zoological Gardens (IUDZG) in Rotterdam in 1946. This was then later changed to the IUDZG - World Zoo Organisation (WZO) in 1992 and the IUDZG-WZO Secretariat opened in 1995 in Apple Valley at the Minnesota Zoo, in the United States three years later. The organisation then became the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 2000 and a permanent WAZA Executive Office was later established in Berne, 10| 2018 Annual Report Photo: Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) with enrichment. ©️ Prague Zoo 2018 Annual Report | 11 Photo: Bee and flower ©️ Naturschutz-Tierpark Görlitz WAZA Joins RSPO WAZA became an official member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in 2018, emphasising the association’s commitment to sustainable solutions that protect the environment. As a member, WAZA has a say in RSPO’s decision making and voted on behalf of its members on the RSPO resolutions at RSPO’s AGM in November 2018. When RSPO suspended food company Nestlé’s membership in 2018 for failing to meet its standards, WAZA members around the world rallied to apply pressure on one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies to re-comply with RSPO principles. As a result of the public pressure, Nestlé submitted its time-bound action plan and promised to re-join RSPO. 12| 2018 Annual Report Photo: Dr Jane Goodall at the 73rd WAZA Annual Conference - ©️ WAZA 73rd WAZA Annual Conference in Bangkok Members of the global zoo and aquarium At the conference, WAZA honoured former community gathered in Bangkok, Thailand

    sociale dienst vzw vzw Sociale Dienst voor het Vlaams Overheidspersoneel Boudewijnlaan 30, bus 51 - 1000 Brussel http://www.vlaanderen.be/socialediens t Voorw oord Beste Lezer, In 2013 startte de sociale dienst met de uitbouw van een e-loket waar de cliënten met een federaal token of e-ID kunnen inloggen in een gepersonaliseerde interactieve webruimte. Daarbij staan klantvriendelijkheid en administratieve vereenvoudiging cen- traal en kan de klant op elk gewenst moment de afhandeling van zijn aanvraag opvol- gen. De aanvraag voor de tegemoetkomingen in de medische kosten – tevens de core business van de sociale dienst – doorstaat als eerste de test. Het is immers de bedoeling om dit e-loket de komende jaren verder uit te breiden tot de andere processen van de sociale dienst met een minimum aan administratieve formaliteiten. Wie niet over een pc of internet beschikt, wordt uiteraard op de klassieke manier verder geholpen. Daarnaast kan de sociale dienst ook bogen op enkele succesrijke organisaties. Voor de 23ste editie van de Seniorendagen in Mechelen gaven 1.881 gepensioneerden present. De Zomerhappening in het gezinspark Pairi Daiza klokte af 3.656 aanwezigen, voor Park in de Kijker (de Antwerpse Zoo en Planckendael gingen 3.321 tickets over de toog, De Sint deelde 9.959 geschenken uit en 2.780 kinderen mochten rekenen op een tege- moetkoming in de jeugdvakanties. De sociale dienst verkocht ook 16.777 toegangskaar- ten voor pret- en recreatieparken. In 2014 wordt deze activiteit stopgezet en participeert de sociale dienst aan het PlusPas-project met de collega’s van de Gemeenschappelijke Sociale Dienst voor de Lokale Besturen in Vlaanderen.
