ReSAKSS-AfricaLead Workshop on Strengthening Capacity for Strategic Agricultural Policy and Investment Planning and Implementation in Africa
Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, June 25th‐ 26th 2012
Poster prepared by Hagos, F., Jayasinghe, G., Awulachew, S.B., Loulseged, M. and Yilma, A.D. for the International Congress on Water 2011 Integrated Water Resources Management in Tropical and Subtropical Drylands, Mekelle, Ethiopia, 19-26 September 2011.
Rural transport is critical for agricultural productivity, food security, and reducing food prices. Better transport allows farmers to access markets and receive a larger portion of final market prices. However, transport costs are high in Africa, and inadequate transport infrastructure and services prevent as much as 89% of some harvests from reaching markets. Improving the information base for policies and translating policies into action is needed. More research is also required on rural mobility, multi-sector linkages, and community organizations' roles. Resources should support knowledge exchange between sectors on integrated solutions.
LyondellBasell presented an investor presentation in May 2010. The presentation provided an overview of the company, its financials, business segments, product positions, and capacity. LyondellBasell aimed to emerge from bankruptcy as a publicly traded company on the NYSE by the third quarter of 2010. The company had a conservative financial policy focused on debt reduction and maintaining balance sheet strength.
This document discusses observations and ideas about the GEF's work on international waters projects. It addresses whether the TDA/SAP approach can work, if it is working, if it is too early to tell, and what constraints are being ignored. Key points made include that the TDA/SAP process takes a long time but builds ownership, immediate actions may be needed for success, and national commitment is required to implement SAPs. While frameworks for cooperation have been developed, it is still early to see environmental results. Political will for reform and linking projects to development are important overlooked constraints. The implications for the GEF include taking a flexible approach, ensuring riparian ownership, and providing long-term support and learning across projects
The Group is owned by a $2 billion American private equity fund investing in the Indian water sector. It has acquired several companies in India and is pursuing further acquisitions to drive synergies and help the group realize its potential in the fast growing Indian water market. Ecofil is the group's core water infrastructure company and will be the pivot of growth in large water projects. The group's turnover will exceed 900 million INR in FY 2010-11.

This document provides an overview of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) prepared by students for a project. It defines what an EIA is, explains why they are needed, and outlines the EIA process and methodology. The EIA process involves screening, scoping, predicting and mitigating impacts, management and monitoring, and auditing. Common methodologies include checklists, matrices, and networks. The document also lists strategic objectives for EIAs and provides examples of environmental data collected for EIAs, such as land use and population information. It concludes with some notes on EIA legislation and practices in India.
The document discusses forest governance in Indonesia and REDD+. It provides context on Indonesia's commitments to reduce emissions from the forestry sector through programs like REDD+, which has led to increased international support for Indonesia's forest governance efforts. However, the document notes there are still several hurdles to addressing deforestation that need to be tackled, particularly related to issues of governance. It outlines indicators developed to assess forest governance in Indonesia, with the goal of contextualizing global indicators to the national context and incorporating input from experts and authorities. The assessment aims to provide solutions for improving governance and enable effective REDD+ implementation in Indonesia.
The document discusses key issues related to agriculture and rural development in the context of global climate change negotiations. It provides 3 examples of projects that demonstrate opportunities for mitigation, adaptation, technology diffusion, and payments for environmental services that generate livelihood co-benefits for smallholder farmers.

1. Software quality management models can help set defect removal targets and guide quality improvement strategies.
2. The Rayleigh model illustrates how earlier and lower defect removal can be achieved by reducing the error injection rate and increasing front-end defect removal.
3. Tracking actual defect removal against the model targets does not clearly indicate whether variance is due to differences in error injection rates or review/inspection effectiveness, so additional indicators are needed for proper interpretation.

While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
