The document summarizes the phase one report of College Station's Economic Development Master Plan presented to the City Council on July 26, 2012. Phase one included an analysis of existing economic and demographic trends, sector overviews, and research including data, interviews and a business survey. Key findings included opportunities like TAMU graduates and challenges such as limited commercial air service. Next phases will evaluate opportunities/constraints, define goals and implementation strategies.
The main objective of social protection in the early stages of Uzbekistan’s transition period was to protect vulnerable groups by providing guaranteed minimum incomes. In the difficult period of structural reforms, social protection helped to mitigate some of their undesirable impacts on the population, to maintain social stability and guarantee basic social rights.
Social protection policies were successful in preventing a large share of the vulnerable from falling into poverty. Moreover, Uzbekistan managed to preserve the access of children from low-income families to free health care and education and to maintain its pre-reform levels of literacy.
Economic growth has been strong for almost a decade and the country has graduated to middle-income status. But this is bringing new challenges in transforming the economy and society. These transformations will have a significant effect on the well-being of people, their available choices and social rights. Demand for social services, in terms of both type and quality, will also change. The current social protection model will also have to be revised in line with these new demands and transformations.
The parameters of the social protection model in this new stage of development will be determined by the targets and objectives of Uzbekistan’s overall development policy in the medium- and long term.

This manual on community-based participatory approach is a training guide for a range of users and potential stakeholders: community members, extension staff, researchers, local and central administrators, NGO staff, policy makers, private institutions/associations, donors and others. The manual is easy to follow, with clear definitions of terminology, and is well structured to show the different steps of the community-based participatory approach. The main steps involved in elaborating the participatory community development plan are presented as a sequence of steps, with all necessary details for the various users and stakeholders.
The manual is the outcome of many years of experience involving many stakeholders in different countries and settings. We are indebted to all our partners for their highly-valued contributions.

The St. Louis labor market continues to be very healthy. Non-farm payrolls in St. Louis rose 3.1 percent year-over-year, the most in 15 years. This led to the unemployment rate to fall below 4.0 percent for the first time since 2000.

Noah Blanton's Drivers of Supply and Demand for Oregon Real Estate Market UpdateAaron Stelle
Noah’s Drivers of Supply and Demand:
A clearer picture is emerging in Oregon.
· Where is the real estate market in the Portland area and where is it likely headed?
· Are people still moving to Oregon?
· What is the hidden risk of low interest rates? Are they going up or down?
· Is the local economy recovering and should we be concerned with the employment rate?
· Is there a long lasting housing shortage building?
· Is there a foreclosure surge just around the corner?

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
