Compendium of Good Practices in Sri LankaArvind Kumar
This document summarizes a community-based disaster risk reduction project in Sri Lanka supported by Oxfam and Practical Action. It describes how the project trained young community members as facilitators to lead disaster preparedness efforts and bridge communication between communities and the government. It also highlights how a cash-for-work program providing temporary employment on small infrastructure projects helped address food insecurity and protect livelihoods during periods of drought when other work opportunities were scarce. The project adopted an inclusive approach and prioritized vulnerable groups like women and people with disabilities.

The document discusses the author's hobbies of drawing anime characters from shows they have watched. While some criticize that the drawings look exactly like the originals or accuse the author of tracing, the author is unbothered. The author also watches anime in their spare time and hopes to pursue a career in anime creation or acting. They work hard in school to meet grade requirements for scholarships to art or acting colleges. Additionally, the author enjoys playing World of Warcraft with friends but is called a nerd, which they view as a compliment, simply enjoying their hobbies.

The document discusses the canonical shaping of the prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible. It argues that a major literary and theological force worked to shape the present form of the prophetic texts to function as authoritative Scripture for later generations. Specifically, it discusses how prophetic oracles directed to one generation were fashioned into Sacred Scripture through a canonical process to be used by another generation. It provides examples showing how the prophetic texts were expanded, changed to a new metaphorical role, detached from their original context and subordinated to a new theological context, and had their order changed to emphasize different theological functions.
This document examines how a postcolonial perspective can provide insights for reading prophetic literature. It discusses how postcolonial theory can interrogate the categorization of texts as "prophetic literature" and probe its production. The document traces the development of prophetic studies from focusing on prophets' biographies and roles to examining them as social and political figures. It argues that postcolonial theory can help analyze how the notion of the "prophetic book" was constructed and how prophetic texts came to be seen as an authoritative literary genre.
Walther Eichrodt was a German scholar who revived Old Testament theology in the early 20th century. He criticized previous approaches that focused only on the religious history of Israel and ignored the theological message of the OT. Eichrodt argued the historical-critical method could be used to understand both the history and the central theological message of the OT, which he identified as God's covenant relationship with humanity. His three-volume work developed this theme of the engagement between God and Israel, God and the world, and God and individuals. Eichrodt significantly influenced later OT scholars like Gerhard von Rad by emphasizing a unified theological framework for understanding the OT.

The theology of the old testament by walter brueggemannbeninbr
Walter Brueggemann seeks to craft a new biblical theology organized around the core concept of Israel's testimony about God found in Old Testament texts. He categorizes this testimony into four parts: Israel's praise and confession of God (core testimony), laments questioning God (countertestimony), indirect allusions to God's nature (unsolicited testimony), and forms of mediation that brought God close such as law, prophets, cult, etc (embodied narrative). Brueggemann analyzes many Old Testament passages through these lenses to generate a dynamic theology focused on the rhetorical power of the biblical texts rather than historical criticism.

It provides information about subsidies, plan types (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), open enrollment periods, and common questions about the ACA and enrollment. Key points covered include that the ACA aims to expand coverage to 32 million Americans, offers subsidies to offset premium costs, prohibits denying coverage or limiting benefits due to pre-existing conditions, and sets minimum coverage standards. The open enrollment period for 2015 plans runs from November 15, 2014 to February 15, 2015.
The document discusses fostering a culture of safety in India by implementing the priorities of the Hyogo Framework for Action at the local level through school and hospital safety programs. It describes a pilot program in Uttarakhand that trained community volunteers, school officials, and hospital staff on disaster risk reduction and established safety protocols like evacuation drills. The program also created educational resources like posters and a website to build resilience among students, staff, and the wider community. Evaluations found the training boosted confidence in disaster response and preparedness, though participants felt further policy and training was still needed at state and district levels.

The document summarizes the partner NGO activities of the SHOUHARDO II Program in Bangladesh. It operates in 11 districts across 4 regions, working with over 370,000 households. The program aims to build resilience to food insecurity by reducing vulnerability to disasters and climate change. Key approaches include disaster risk management, emergency preparedness planning, early warning systems, infrastructure improvements, agriculture and livelihood support, and empowering community institutions. Community vulnerability assessments inform adaptation plans and preparedness activities. Indications are that the program has increased resilience by reducing loss of life and livelihoods in disasters through preparedness measures, while more adaptive approaches are still needed to reduce crop damage.

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.

The Marshall Legacy Institute (MLI) is a Virginia-
based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in
1997 to extend the vision of Nobel Peace Prize
laureate George C. Marshall to alleviate suffering
and promote hope, growth, and stability in war-
torn countries. For many nations, a primary ob-
stacle to achieving sustainable progress is the
deadly legacy of landmines and other unexplod-
ed ordnance, relics of armed conflicts that often
ended long ago. Landmines cause long-lasting
environmental degradation, halt agricultural pro-
duction, impede economic growth, slow the re-
turn of refugees, instill fear, and kill and maim
innocent people and animals daily.
MLI’s primary mission is to establish practical,
affordable, and sustainable indigenous programs
to help severely mine-affected countries rid their
land of the horrific scourge of landmines. These
efforts include the development and implementa-
tion of the Mine Detection Dog Partnership Pro-
gram (MDDPP), which provides mine detection
dogs (MDDs) to accelerate the pace of landmine
clearance operations; the Children Against Mines
Program (CHAMPS), which promotes global
citizenship and engages American youths in ser-
vice learning projects to help children living in
war-torn countries; and the Survivors’ Assistance
program, which helps those injured by landmines
acquire prostheses and attend vocational training
for a swift reintegration in the community.
These three programs (1) educate citizens about
the dangers of mines, (2) provide valuable re-
sources for landmine clearance, especially MDDs,
(3) train national leaders charged with mine-
action responsibilities, and (4) assist landmine
survivors with physical and psychological needs.
MLI provides resources and training to help
countries build their own sustainable demining
programs.

Remarkably, mine detection dogs (MDDs) have
proven to be one of the most valuable tools in
mine detection, locating landmines up to 30 times
faster than many other detection tools and meth-
ods.
MLI’s longest-running project is the Mine Detec-
tion Dog Partnership Program (MDDPP), which
seeks to increase the quality and quantity of life-
saving MDDs in countries severely affected by
landmines. As part of MLI’s overall strategy to
build indigenous capacity to remove landmines
and to establish sustainable demining programs,
MLI donates MDDs to mine-contaminated coun-
tries and provides training and support to local
demining organizations.
Typically, the MDDs are sponsored by private
donors, and program support is generously pro-
vided by the U.S. State Department’s Office of
Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA).
In 2013, MLI donated 9 MDDs to Azerbaijan and
Iraq, increasing our active MDD capacity to 105
and our total number of donated MDDs to 192. In
2013 alone, MLI-donated MDDs searched
3,228,670 m2 (798 acres) of land in some of the
most heavily mine-infested countries of the
world, thereby making it safe for children to play,
people to work, and communities to grow.
Landmine facts
● There are an estimated 50+ million landmines
in some 76 countries.
● Only three continents are mine-free, Antarcti-
ca, Australia, and North America.
● There are two types of landmines, antiperson-
nel and antitank ones.
● Antipersonnel mines are designed to maim,
rather than to kill.
● Most mines are made of plastic.
● It takes a mere 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs.) of pressure to
detonate an antipersonnel mine.
● Every 40 minutes, a person steps on a mine.
● Landmines kill or maim more than 10,000
people each year.
● Approximately 40% of these victims are chil-
dren.
● Landmines injure or kill hundreds of thou-
sands of animals every year.
● If we continue clearing mines at the current
rate, it will take 1,000+ years to finish the job.
● For every one mine that is cleared, between
20 and 50 new ones are planted.
● Without minefields, land available for agri-
culture would increase by 88% in Afghanistan
and 92% in Angola.

MDDs can find mines up to 30 times faster than
manual deminers and can “sniff out” plastic
mines, which metal detectors cannot detect. An
MDD may search up to 1,500 m2 (0.37 acres) of
land per day, or 2 million m2 (494 acres) over the
working lifetime of 6–8 years. Currently, there
are approximately 1,000 MDDs “sniffing out”
landmines around the world.
The cost to purchase, train, certify, and deliver
each dog equals $25,000. Typically, establishing
the MDDPP in a new country requires 14 months.

Through the Children Against Mines Program
(CHAMPS), MLI delivers landmine presentations
and demonstrations to schoolchildren throughout
the U.S., inspiring American children to not only
explore the global landmine problem, but to also
become part of the solution. CHAMPS elevates
awareness about landmines, promotes global citi-
zenship, and raises funds to sponsor lifesaving
MDDs and to help youths who have been
wounded by landmines. CHAMPS youths have
sponsored 29 mine detection dogs (MDDs) and
have helped hundreds of landmine survivors.
In 2013, MLI’s CHAMPS team reached more
than 8,000 schoolchildren, and their parents,
teachers, and school administrators, in Arizona,
Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. CHAMPS also
connected American youths with students in Iraq
and Yemen through video calls in which they
shared details about their lives and respective
cultures.
In 2013, participating CHAMPS students direct-
ly helped 51 young landmine survivors, raising
money to provide them with critical medical care,
prosthetic limbs, and vocational training for a
swift post-injury reintegration in the community.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been in-
jured by landmines—approximately 10,000 addi-
tional men, women, and children fall victim to
mines yearly. MLI’s Survivors’ Assistance Pro-
gram began as a way to implement a variety of
programs that assist these victims.
MLI provides assistance to thousands of
landmine survivors yearly through two pro-
grams, CHAMPS and the Partnership for Iraq
(PFI). The assistance consists of critical medical
services, rehabilitative treatments, prostheses,
mobility equipment, and vocational training.
In addition, MLI provides specialized rehabilita-
tive medical training to doctors in Iraq.
In 2013, participating CHAMPS students direct-
ly helped 51 young landmine survivors from
Iraq and Yemen; MLI assisted an additional
2,210 Iraqis through the PFI. These victims re-
ceived critical medical and rehabilitative care,
prosthetic limbs, mobility devices, and vocational
training.

Mine Detection Dog Partnership Program
Hundreds of thousands of landmines remain hid-
den throughout Afghanistan maiming and killing
hundreds of people, many of whom are children,
each month. Only one in fourth of these victims
can afford the needed medical care.
Since 2007, MLI has donated 30 mine detection
dogs (MDDs) to four Afghan demining organiza-
tions. In 2013, these dogs searched 1,572,069 m2
(388 acres) of land, which directly affected several
thousand Afghans. The land cleared is currently
used for cultivation, grazing, and residential pur-
poses.
In 2013, the Demining Agency for Afghanistan, a
local partner of MLI, surveyed landmine-stricken
communities like the village of Oriakhel, Pa-
ghman District. Ahmad Wali, a farmer, was one
of the respondents :
1) What sort of problems did landmines cause
your family and community?
Back when the area was filled with mines and other
unexploded ordnance, our family was not able to col-
lect firewood, which was our main source of income.

2) How difficult was it to obtain food and fire-
wood during the landmine crisis?
It was very difficult, and I can’t forget how our people
had to go far away in search for firewood, even though
nearby areas were full of it—we couldn't enter these
areas because of the landmines and explosive rem-
nants.
3) Did the mines make it difficult for you to com-
mute to work?
Because of the nearby minefields, we weren’t able to
take the shortest way to the bazaar for work; we had no
choice but to travel the long way there.
4) Did the presence of mines stop you from doing
anything that you wanted to do? If yes, what?
The village of Shura once decided to build an educa-
tional institute for the children nearby, but, due to the
risk of unexploded ordnance, the project failed to move
forward. This impasse has become unforgettable.
5) Are things different for you, now that the
mines have been cleared? If yes, how?
Of course! Currently locals can walk this area and
collect firewood, which is an economic benefit to our
community.
6) Has the mine clearance had any impact on
your income? If yes, how much of an impact?
Our village’s income will increase this summer be-
cause the cleared area provides opportunities for culti-
vation and grazing, being relatively close to water
sources.
Have there been any developments in your com-
munity, now that the mines have been cleared
(e.g., new houses or shops built)?
Of course… now that the area has been cleared, we can
cultivate these previously wasted lands, and some of
our neighbors can build new houses. In addition, our
people can now collect firewood and bushes from the
hillside and sell them—our economy is growing con-
siderably.

Mine Detection Dog Partnership Program
The landmine problem in Angola stems from
more than twenty years of military conflict. Alt-
hough the civil war ended in 2002, Angola is still
contaminated by landmines. The Landmine Mon-
itor (http://www.the-monitor.org) and the U.S.
Department of State both estimate that there are
over 80,000 landmine survivors in Angola, with
more added each year.
In October 2011, MLI established the first indige-
nous mine detection dog (MDD) program in sub-
Saharan Africa by donating 6 MDDs to Angola’s
National Demining Institute (INAD), the indige-
nous organization responsible for most of the
landmine clearance in Angola.
After completing a rigorous training course in
2011–2012, the MDD teams passed the interna-
tional mine standards certification test in May
2012 and began demining activities in the region
of Caxito, in the Bengo province. These MDDs’
work is impacting the lives of more than 156,100
people who are living in this heavily mine-
affected region, enabling the citizens to use their
land safely again.
The work of INAD and its MDD teams is also en-
abling refugees and internally displaced persons
to return to their land and is providing secure
access to water, clearing the way for the construc-
tion of a water treatment plant, and assisting in
the reconstruction of Angola’s railway system.

Conflict with Armenia and the collapse of the So-
viet Union left much of Azerbaijan littered with
landmines that continue to endanger people’s
lives, threaten livestock, and prohibit the use of
farm land for millions of people. To combat this
threat, MLI has been working with the Azerbai-
jan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA)
to clear the land of mines and other hidden ex-
plosives.
Since 2005, MLI has given 29 mine detection dogs
(MDDs) to Azerbaijan, and plans to donate addi-
tional dogs in the future. ANAMA uses the
MDDs to survey suspected hazardous areas and
provide quality assurance to areas checked by
other demining tools.
MDDs have searched more than 18 million m2
(4,448 acres) of mine-contaminated land in Azer-
baijan. Although some of MLI’s MDDs have re-
tired from work or passed away from old age,
active MDDs Beti, Brownie, Dexter, Donohue,
Elke, Gaga, Gavran, Geoff, Guru, Kora, Mace,
Marcos, Mojca, Rocket, and Roki were incredible
assets during 2013, returning 740,840 m2 (183
acres) of land to the people of Azerbaijan. Ap-
proximately 500,000 people, who had been una-
ble to use their land for nearly two decades, live
in the regions where these MDDs operate. With
the help of MLI’s dogs, these people can now
safely access their land and use it to grow crops
and graze their animals.

Bosnia & Herzegovina has been contaminated by
landmines since its 1992–1995 civil war and is the
most mine-affected country in Europe. These
landmines deny people access to valuable re-
sources (e.g., agricultural land, timber) and en-
danger the lives of thousands of people.
In 2013, MLI’s mine detection dogs (MDDs)
searched 179,146 m2 (44 acres) of land. Despite
these accomplishments, the landmine clearance
in Bosnia & Herzegovina is nowhere near com-
pletion. In 2010, the country experienced the
worst floods in 100 years. Heavy rain and floods
tend to displace landmines and minefield mark-
ers, cause unexploded ordnance to resurface, and
carry many displaced mines downstream toward
river dams, hydroelectric plants, and neighboring
countries. In fact, the Balkan area often faces
heavy rain and floods, which means landmine
clearance in Bosnia & Herzegovina is crucial to
the country’s socioeconomic development.

Department of State and caring private donors,
MLI began the MDDPP in Iraq in 2008 to employ
mine detection dogs (MDDs) in humanitarian
mine clearance operations. MLI has since donat-
ed 14 of these lifesaving dogs to the Iraqi Mine &
UXO Clearance Organization (IMCO) and the
Mines Advisory Group (MAG).
In 2013, MLI donated 4 new MDDs to IMCO.

CHAMPS
In 2013, MLI linked schools in Baghdad, Basra,
and Wassit with schools in Elliot City (MD),
Greenwich (CT), and Philadelphia (PA) through
regular videoconference calls. Not only does
CHAMPS allow American students to learn more
about the life of Iraqi children, but the program
also raises landmine awareness and encourages
children to work together in helping the unfortu-
nate.
Through CHAMPS, MLI donated 7 wheelchairs
and 18 prosthetic limbs to 25 Iraqi mine victims.
Survivors’ Assistance
Our largest survivors’ assistance program is the
Partnership for Iraq (PFI), which is a public-
private partnership program helping the tens of
thousands of landmine survivors living in and
around Basra, in southern Iraq. Both young and
adult landmine survivors in Basra face long-term
medical and psychological challenges after their
injuries have occurred. As young survivors grow
older, costly prostheses require replacement, re-
pair, and maintenance. Survivors often suffer
psychological distress and require continued
medical care and social integration efforts.
With matching funds from the U.S. State Depart-
ment’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abate-
ment (PM/WRA), MLI has partnered with IMCO
and the Polus Center for Social & Economic De-
velopment to create a unique and centralized sys-
tem to (1) provide vocational training and medi-
cal assistance to survivors in a new facility, (2)

provide specialized training and equipment for
Iraqi doctors so that they will better assist mine
survivors, and (3) create a national registration
database for mine survivors in order to better as-
sess and meet their needs.
In May 2013, MLI’s Vice President of Children’s
Programs and Survivors’ Assistance, Kimberly
McCasland, visited PFI’s headquarters in Basra to
monitor the program’s progress. Although the
region continues to be dangerous—there were
several bombings in Basra during Kimberly’s vis-
it that limited her mobility—she was able to visit
the Basra Rehabilitation Center (BRC) and met
with 20 male landmine survivors who were
attending the Air Conditioning Vocational Reha-
bilitation Course, as well as a young woman
named Iman Hassan.
Iman stepped on a landmine when she was a tod-
dler, the explosion causing the loss of one of her
legs up to the hip. Although she received emer-
gency treatment for her injuries, she had never
received a prosthetic limb and had to use crutch-
es since a very young age. When asked if we
Iraq Report
EnglishclassforminesurvivorsIraqidoctorsreceivingspcializedtraining
30. 27 | MLI 2013 Annual Report
could get Iman a prosthetic leg, the BRC’s doctors
explained it was impossible to make a prosthesis
for such extreme limb loss.
Dr. David Evans, a Polus Center doctor who ac-
companied Kimberly during her BRC visit, excit-
edly assured everyone that he could, in fact, cre-
ate a prosthetic limb for Iman. He examined Iman
and, despite doubts from the BRC’s doctors and
technicians, was positive that he could help.
Over the course of the next month, Ms. Gaida, the
PFI manager and IMCO’s CHAMPS manager,
accompanied Iman for each of her appointments
with Dr. Evans and the BRC doctors and techni-
cians. During that time, Dr. Evans not only built
Iman a prosthetic device that enabled her to walk
on her own for the first time since she was a tod-
dler, but he also taught the BRC’s doctors and
technicians how to incorporate new hip and leg
prosthesis technology and techniques to help ad-
ditional survivors.
Thanks to PFI, this young woman is able to walk
without crutches for the first time in her memory.
Iamn has also enrolled in PFI’s Vocational Reha-
bilitation Center’s programs and took a computer
class. Thanks to her increased mobility, she
attended advanced computer training in 2013, so
that she can begin teaching computer courses to
others. Iman’s new leg has given her a new sense
of hope for the future, and she is grateful to eve-
ryone who has made this achievement possible.

reintegration that landmine survivors desperately
need. MLI, YEMAC, and YALS built a state-of-
the-art computer center in Sana’a with funding
from the U.S. Department of State. Using this fa-
cility, dozens of landmine survivors have taken
computer training classes to enhance their em-
ployment opportunities. Others use the facility at
minimal cost to support YALS’s activities.
In 2011, MLI initiated CHAMPS in Yemen, pair-
ing U.S. and Yemeni schools via video calls to
raise landmine awareness and to help young
Yemeni mine survivors.
In 2013, 22 May School in Sana’a participated in
frequent video calls with American schools from
Connecticut, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
Also in 2013, through CHAMPS, MLI was able to
help 26 young Yemenis who had been injured by
landmines, providing them with new prostheses,
physical therapy, mobility equipment, and voca-
tional training—sewing and computer classes.
