Women's Empowerment through Buckwheat Farming Project Completion Report 2016-18 Hashoo Foundation USA
Hashoo Foundation introduced a new economic development initiative in the remote areas of Gilgit-Baltistan to empower women through buckwheat farming. The project was very successful and had a very positive response from the 200 farmers beneficiaries in terms of ownership, acceptance, and impact in their local communities. Initially, Hashoo Foundation estimated a production of 10,000 kgs (22,000 lbs) from the original 1,000 kgs (2,200 lbs) of certified buckwheat seeds distributed to the women farmers for cultivation. Five months later, the actual production was 13,000 kgs (28,600 lbs). This success was a result of the women farmers’ commitment and dedication.
Hashoo Foundation retained 1,200 kgs (2,640 lbs) of the buckwheat seeds collected to replicate the project in other areas of Gilgit-Baltistan and distributed the other 11,800 kgs (25,960 lbs) of buckwheat seeds to the 200 women farmers. The farmers are projected to earn an income of approximately PKRs. 2,950,000 (US $29,208) from the sale of their buckwheat yield at a rate of PKRs. 250 (US $2.27) per kg of buckwheat. This income will have an indirect impact on 1,400 of their family members.
The continued expansion of the buckwheat farming to other areas in Gilgit-Baltistan could significantly contribute to alleviating the poverty of these underprivileged communities which are usually neglected and get no attention from development agencies and local governments. There is no doubt that this project will provide the women living in these remote male-dominated societies an opportunity for improving their quality of life and breaking the vicious cycle of generational poverty.

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.

The Kalasha or Kalash, are indigenous people residing in the Chitral District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province
of Pakistan. Once numbered in the tens of thousands, the Kalasha have seen their numbers dwindle over the
past century. With their light complexion and light colored eyes, the Kalasha are known to be the
descendantsofAlexandertheGreat,whoconqueredtheHinduKushalongwith“theknownworld”inthe4th

They form the smallest minority community in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and they stand out from the
remaining tribes, cultures and communities of Pakistan due to their distinct culture, religious practices and
colourful festivals. This part of Pakistan is considered to be a well preserved ethnic and cultural museum.
Owing to this value, Kalasha culture has been listed by UNESCO for consideration as World Heritage Site.
Kalash Valley boosts serene beauty, lush green valleys and fruit farms making it an ideal tourist spot not only
