Rural Planning Organizations: Rural Transportation Planning in PennsylvaniaRPO America
During the 2019 National Regional Transportation Conference (June 2019, Columbus, Ohio), Amy Kessler, North Central Regional Planning and Development Commission, and Carey Mullins, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, provided a presentation on how Pennsylvania established regional rural planning organizations to provide transportation planning services. Kessler and Mullins outlined major program responsibilities and benefits to planning at the regional level.
The document summarizes the Triple-S research project, which aims to contribute to a shift towards sustainable service delivery approaches for rural water supply in developing countries. It discusses key aspects of a service delivery approach, including clear policies and roles, planning, community participation, appropriate technology, and long-term support. The project involves action research in Ghana and Uganda, as well as studies in 13 other countries, to identify factors that promote or constrain services at scale. Findings indicate countries progress along a continuum from infrastructure implementation to full service delivery approaches, with gaps in areas like asset management, life-cycle cost planning, and regulation.
This document summarizes a conference on catchment-based approaches held in London. It discusses the progress made by catchment partnerships in improving water environments and encouraging local collaboration. Evaluation shows partnerships are delivering more practical environmental work and leveraging additional funding. Challenges remain around assessing benefits and ensuring partnerships are sustainable. Future funding options for catchment partnerships are uncertain but partnerships aim to strengthen their cases by demonstrating delivery over the coming year using available funding.
The document is the 2016 proposed operations and maintenance and capital budgets for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. It provides an overview of revenues and expenditures for both the operating and capital budgets. It includes information on the district's strategic plan, organizational structure, and summaries of each department's budgets and responsibilities. The capital budget funds major infrastructure projects while the operating budget covers expenses to operate and maintain existing infrastructure as well as fund programs like household hazardous waste collection.
Harbour Redevlopment - Town Hall - 2016-02-27kingstonyc
The document provides an update on the harbour redevelopment project at Kingston Yacht Club. It discusses activities from 2015-2016, including installing new finger docks. It reviews the original 2013 redevelopment plan, which was too expensive. A new proposed plan is presented that defers some remediation work to reduce costs. Financial details of the new plan are provided, including proposed fees. Next steps discussed are refining estimates and models, member consultation, and permitting. The document closes by announcing a 2016 membership drive promotion.
The document discusses Whole-Place Community Budgets (WPCBs), an initiative that brings together developments in public policy and service delivery. While ideas of partnership working are not new, past initiatives lacked robust evidence of improved outcomes. The Department for Communities and Local Government established WPCBs in four pilot areas to thoroughly test how integrating all local public service funding can be implemented and impact outcomes. The areas recognized the importance of cost-benefit analysis and evaluation in their pragmatic approaches. Local areas and central government worked cooperatively to deliver the plans, representing a promising model for future policy design. Next steps include implementing proposals, evaluating results, and continuing engagement across government.
The document provides guidance on recent changes made to the Treasury Board Submission Guide. Key changes include new requirements for departments to include narratives on results achieved and expected results supported by evidence in appendices. Departments must also demonstrate how initiatives incorporate policy considerations and support innovation. Mandatory appendices now include Gender-based Analysis+, Official Languages, Risks, and a new Delivery and Expected Results appendix. The guidance clarifies expectations for content in the submission versus appendices.

Session Harmonization 3c - Minta kampala seminar 2010IRC
1) Ghana is working towards establishing a Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) for its water sector by 2011 to improve coordination between agencies and donors.
2) Key activities in the SWAp roadmap include developing a sector strategic development plan, common monitoring and evaluation systems, and aligning donor support with government priorities and procedures.
3) Challenges include ensuring government and donor commitment over the long time period needed and establishing sustainable funding mechanisms, but developing the sector strategic plan could help mobilize funds and provide long-term direction.
This document summarizes a study on strengthening integrated water resources management (IWRM) planning in African lake and river basin organizations (L/RBOs). The study identified several gaps in IWRM planning processes, including a lack of cooperation and strategic planning. It also found needs such as improving stakeholder participation and developing water resources data systems. The study proposed priority actions that ANBO could take over five years, such as fostering regional policy frameworks, building capacity, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation of IWRM implementation. It concluded with recommendations for ANBO to take a flexible, demand-driven approach and ensure coordination across initiatives supporting African L/RBOs.
Broken pumps and pipes: Why the rural water sector has failed to deliver trul...International WaterCentre
- The rural water sector has struggled to deliver sustainable services, with 30-40% of hand pumps in Africa not functioning and 730 million still unserved.
- There has been an overemphasis on expanding coverage through infrastructure building without consideration for long-term operation and maintenance costs, leading to high failure rates.
- A new service delivery approach is needed that focuses on establishing permanent water services through strengthened sector policies, cost planning, oversight, capacity support, and long-term funding commitments rather than just expanding coverage.
Highland Park IL Strategic Plan DocumentationTracy Quintana

This document summarizes the journey of Dunea NV, a Dutch drinking water company, in implementing an integrated asset investment planning (AIP) process for their distribution mains network. It describes how Dunea worked with SEAMS to develop an asset management model using their WiLCO software to forecast pipe degradation, failures, costs, and risks over a 25 year period. The model allowed Dunea to evaluate different investment scenarios and select a strategy that reduced replacement lengths and costs while maintaining performance. Key benefits included improved long-term capital planning, risk identification, and alignment of asset management practices with corporate strategy. Dunea aims to continue enhancing the model and expanding its use to other asset groups.
KYC - Long Term Financial Planing - Town Hall 2014-03-26kingstonyc
The document provides an update on long term financial planning for a yacht club. It summarizes the results of a survey of members on proposed fee increases to fund infrastructure projects like harbour remediation. The survey found mixed support for the fee increases, with associates being more likely to potentially resign. Next steps include further engagement with members to gain approval for a financial plan to fund needed capital projects and ensure the long term viability of the club.

This document summarizes the 10-year evaluation and appraisal process for comprehensively updating a city's comprehensive plan. It involved assessing plan implementation, collecting public input, developing a draft report, and recommending revisions and updates. Over 600 participants provided input through interviews, workshops, surveys, and scenario and land use feedback. Key themes addressed included housing, transportation, environment, and partnerships. Recommendations include refining vision/goals, maps, planning areas, and chapter structure/format. The updated plan will be adopted in 2021 after further public input.
The document discusses Industry 5.0 and how it relates to smart water metering for the future. It focuses on creating a circular water economy that is resilient, inclusive, and achieves carbon net zero goals. Industry 5.0 aims to be human-centric and sustainable. Smart water meters are sophisticated sensors that provide real-time, seamless data to give user insights and enable actions. They are needed for network efficiency, consumption visibility, leakage detection, reduced consumption, improved customer service, accurate forecasting and monitoring/evaluation. Learning from other sectors like automotive, avionics and NASA can help advance smart metering ecosystems.

Ross Waugh, Director of Waugh Infrastructure Management (waughinfrastructure.com), presented this paper during the June 2019 IPWEA New Zealand conference in Wellington.
https://waughinfrastructure.com -- This is the paper that Ross Waugh presented during the Pacific Water and Wastewater Association Conference in Noumea on 6-10 August 2018.
The "Asset Management for Developing Countries" presentation was based on the thesis that Ross wrote for his Masters of Engineering.
The objective of this research has been to determine and understand the issues associated with each of these problem streams, and to determine major themes warranting further investigation, development and problem-solving.
On 9 May 2017, Ross Waugh talked about "Ethics" to Selwyn District Council Young Professionals.
Ross discusses the IPENZ (Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand) Code of Ethical Conduct. He also cited the IPWEA Code of Ethics, among others.
Ross presents case studies and provides some examples and insights on ethical issues surrounding professional engineering and district council practices.
A paper delivered by Grant Holland, Senior Consultant, Waugh Infrastructure Management Ltd during the 16th NZ Transport Agency & NZIHT Annual Conference, November 2015
With an Asset Management focus, Grant connects the RMTF, the REG initiatives and his experiences with a range of road controlling authorities across New Zealand.
This presentation provides a lead into specific REG work stream presentations and is intended to challenge our approach to the long-term provision of transportation infrastructure.
This document summarizes a presentation on myths, realities and money related to long term infrastructure management. It examines societal myths that impact infrastructure, such as beliefs that countries like the US and Canada are declining. However, data from indices on development, prosperity and competitiveness show these countries remain among the best in the world. The realities of managing infrastructure over its lifecycle, including service levels, growth, risk and lifecycle costs are discussed. The impact of money and difficulties funding the over $1 trillion per year estimated global infrastructure gap are also covered.
Over the last five years, organisations have sought to maximise the benefits gained from procurement.
“Smart Procurement” is seen as the key to unlocking greater savings in securing access to products and services.
The delivery of services from Infrastructural asset relies on effective operations and maintenance along with timely renewals and improvements. Much of this work is out-sourced and a variety of procurement methodologies exist.
This paper won the NAMie award for best Asset Management Paper at the 2015 IMFE/IPWEA International Conference in June 2015 at Rotorua, New Zealand.
In September 2015, this paper has been adapted for the Pacific Water Conference.
In a world consumed with complexity, Albert Einstein’s dictum ‘make everything as simple as possible but not simpler’ is a good challenge for infrastructure asset managers.
Understanding that simple well - conceived solutions are sustainable solutions, the paper will unpack infrastructure asset management knowledge and measure it against the test of being ‘as simple as possible’
The major infrastructure asset management components of levels of service, demand forecasting, risk management, lifecycle management, financial forecasting, systems and processes, improvement programs and asset information systems will be examined for being ‘as simple as possible.’
The paper will provide insights and value to practitioners from small, rural and remote communities and those from rapidly developing countries.
The Application of Colvin’s principles of ‘Deliberate Practice’ in the Journey to Infrastructure Management Excellence

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

9. Canterbury Template Review – October 2016
Typical Engineers template
Achieved required objective – 2015 LTP support
Did not fully cover OAG Visionary, Realistic, Relational
statements
IS template read as summary of AMP’s
Template requires updating:
o Strategic Thinking, Telling Story
o Examination of issues, sustainability of services
o Interactive, with improved linkages
o Looking beyond 30 year minimum

Next Steps
Update template following this Forum

Include long term sustainability analysis in conjunction

Other Issues
ISO 55000 SAMP linkages
