The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is a regional Examining Body which was
established to administer examinations in sixteen Participating Territories. There is no other
Awarding Body that develops syllabuses and manages examinations for numerous sovereign
states. Developing and managing examinations for multiple territories takes skill and
presents innumerable challenges: For example:(1)The development of syllabuses and
question papers must respect the concerns of a multicultural region;(2)The introduction of
educational innovations and the challenge of „selling‟ them to a doubtful public; (3)
developing tests that respond to regional needs. The purpose of this paper is to present the
findings of a review of the operation of the Council over the past 30 years, to assess the
challenges faced by the organisation and to determine whether it has successfully redirected,
restructured and remodeled the public examinations systems in the Caribbean. The data has
shown inter alia that although the challenges have been considerable, the Council has been
able to mitigate the issues by responding effectively to potential threats.

This document outlines a proposal to require food and beverage outlets in Singapore to provide calorie information for all items on menus. The problem is that many Singaporeans want access to calorie counts when eating out but outlets currently do not provide this information. The proposal would amend existing legislation to mandate clear calorie labeling on all menus and online. This would allow customers to make more informed choices and help address the growing obesity problem. The solution aims to collaborate with relevant agencies and provides time for outlets to test menu items and adjust to the new rules.

UNCDF local NAP supplementary guideline April 2019NAP Events
The document discusses the importance of integrating adaptation actions at the subnational level as highlighted in the Paris Agreement. It argues that the national adaptation plan (NAP) process needs subnational involvement to properly identify and address local adaptation needs, mainstream climate change, and facilitate collaboration. However, local authorities often lack the capacity and financing to effectively contribute. The Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility aims to address this by providing methodological support for local adaptation planning and mainstreaming, and by using performance-based climate resilience grants to support least developed countries in planning and implementing local adaptation investments. The guidelines outline steps for countries to systematically integrate subnational adaptation through activities like assessing climate risks, prioritizing options, building capacity, and monitoring progress.

Documento de sistematización y suplemento técnico estufas eficientes Fundació...Fundación Col
El consumo de leña en Colombia tiene una participación
importante dentro de la matriz energética
nacional. A pesar de ello, en los últimos 30 años,
la leña pasó de cubrir el 19% de las necesidades
energéticas nacionales a sólo el 5,3%1. Esta cifra
refleja principalmente la demanda procedente del
sector residencial rural, en donde la cocción de alimentos
aún se lleva a cabo valiéndose de la leña
como principal insumo energético.
Aunque con una importante reducción en el ámbito
nacional, las proyecciones mundiales indican
que la calefacción y cocción de alimentos con leña
seguirá prevaleciendo en los próximos 20 años2.
En este sentido, es importante revisar el impacto
que tiene el uso de este combustible tradicional
en la calidad de vida de los pobladores rurales,
en la seguridad energética de los mismos y en la
incidencia sobre fenómenos como el cambio climático.
En respuesta a dicha situación, algunas entidades
del orden gubernamental y privado, vienen impulsando
la adopción de estufas de leña más eficientes
con el ánimo de reducir el impacto sobre las
condiciones de vida de las poblaciones rurales y el
medio ambiente en general.
En virtud de lo anterior, cabe resaltar el liderazgo
que la Corporación Autónoma Regional de los ríos
Negro y Nare (CORNARE) ha asumido en el tema
de diseminación de estufas en el país. Desde hace
20 años ésta entidad ha construido cerca de 23
mil estufas en todo el oriente del departamento
de Antioquia y con la creación del programa HUELLAS
(Huertos y Estufas Leñeras Limpias y Ambientalmente
Sostenibles), han redefinido toda una estrategia
para garantizar el uso adecuado de la leña
por parte de las comunidades rurales mediante la
sustitución de los fogones tradicionales por estufas
eficientes y el estímulo a la siembra de árboles
a escala predial como una medida para respaldar
la disponibilidad del recurso en el mediano y largo
plazo.
Por su parte, la Fundación Natura abandera el tema
desde un enfoque holístico que inició con una pequeña
experiencia piloto en el año 2008. Así, con la
creación del Corredor de Conservación Guantiva –
La Rusia – Iguaque surge la necesidad de proteger
los últimos grandes relictos de bosques de roble
que tradicionalmente han servido de fuente de
abastecimiento de leña a las comunidades rurales
asentadas en sus inmediaciones. Se ha establecido
que los altos consumos se deben en gran parte a
las formas ineficientes de cocción que utilizan los
pobladores de dicha región, los cuales se inclinan
por la leña de esta especie dada, sus cualidades
térmicas y su alta disponibilidad.
En consecuencia, se propuso abordar el tema de la
eficiencia energética como estrategia para reducir
el consumo de leña procedente de esta especie
vulnerable y puso a prueba un nuevo prototipo de
estufa que fue evaluado durante los años subsiguientes.

What is a Project Idea Note?
The first step in registering a Plan Vivo project is to submit a Project Idea Note (PIN), which
allows the Plan Vivo Foundation to assess the applicability of the Plan Vivo Standard and
System to the project, to facilitate project design by providing guidance, and to give projects
a platform to attract support through inclusion of approved PINs in the pipeline of the Plan
Vivo project register.
Before writing and submitting a PIN, applicants should ensure they have consulted the Plan
Vivo basic eligibility checklist (see next page) and the latest version of the Plan Vivo
Standard to check that the Plan Vivo System is applicable to their project.
Approval and Registration
Evaluation of a PIN involves a desk-based review by the Plan Vivo Foundation. For a PIN to
be approved it is necessary that the proposed project demonstrates its potential to enhance
ecosystem services, promote sustainable livelihoods and protect biodiversity over the long-
term. The key elements of demonstrating eligibility are:
a) Organisational Capacity
The Project coordinator and any partner organisations have the organisational capacity to
undertake a long-term community-led project.
b) Eligible land-tenure and carbon/ES rights
The project applies to land over which the target communities have ownership or long-term
user rights, and which represents no less than two thirds of the total project area.
c) Suitable land-use activities
Project activities are eligible under the 2013 version of the Plan Vivo Standard and are/will
be designed to promote sustainable land-use and livelihoods, maintain or enhance
biodiversity and produce quantifiable ecosystem benefits such as, but not limited to, carbon
sequestration.
How to Apply
The report should use the summary table and subsequent headings to present the
requested information. An indication of the desired word count is provided in the contents
table. Applicants can reference supporting documentation where necessary. Applications
(and any question relating to applications) should be submitted to the Plan Vivo Foundation
at:
info@planvivofoundation.org
The applicant should include in an email a statement that they have read and intend to
apply the Plan Vivo principles in their project (see 2013 Plan Vivo Standard, p.5, available at
www.planvivo.org/governance-of-the-standard). The application fee must be paid in full
prior to PIN registration (for up-to-date information on fees see www.planvivo.org/tools-and-
resources/costs-and-resource-needs).
Confidentiality
The Plan Vivo Foundation evaluates PINs and publishes approved PINs on the Plan Vivo
website. If the applicant considers any part of the PIN to contain confidential or sensitive
information, the Foundation should be notified of this and instructed to remove such
information before its publication.
3. 3
Key eligibility checklist for a prospective Plan Vivo project
1. Start date
Projects will typically use the 2013 Plan Vivo Standard from the outset. However, it is also
possible for a project that is already operational to become an approved Plan Vivo Project,
provided it can meet the requirements of 2013 Plan Vivo Standard. No retroactive crediting
is possible for activities already implemented.
2. Project participants
2.1. Producers
Must be small-scale farmers, land-users or forest dwellers with recognised land tenure
or user rights (see below)
Must be organised, or in the process of being organised, into cooperatives,
associations, community-based organisations or other organisational forms able to
contribute to the social and economic development of their members and communities
and democratically controlled by the members
Must be able to use existing farmland, forest, woodland or other land type for project
activities without undermining livelihood needs
Producers should not be structurally dependent on permanent hired labour, and should
manage their land mainly with their own and their family’s labour force
2.2. Project coordinators
Must be an established legal entity that takes responsibility for the project and meeting
the requirements of the Plan Vivo Standard for its duration
Must have a strong in-country presence and the respect and experience required to
work effectively with local communities and partners
Must be focused and have the organisational capability and an ability to mobilise the
necessary resources to develop the project
Must have the capability to negotiate and deal with government, local organisations &
institutions, and buyers of ecosystem services
Must have the ability to mobilise and train participants, implement and monitor project
activities, carry out technical functions
Must recognise that the decision of producers to participate in project activities is
entirely voluntary
Must recognise that producers own the carbon/ES benefits of the project activities they
choose to undertake
Must ensure that the benefit-sharing arrangement is fair and equitable and that
payments are made in a transparent and traceable manner
Should not draw on more than 40 percent of sales income for ongoing coordination,
administration and monitoring costs, save in exceptional circumstances where
justification is provided to the Plan Vivo Foundation and a waiver formally agreed
3. Land status
Land that is not owned by or subject to user rights of smallholders or communities may be
included in the project area if:
It represents less than a third of the project area at all times
It was not acquired from smallholders/communities in order to develop the project
It bestows clear benefits to the project on a landscape level
It is managed under an executed agreement between the owners/managers and the
project participants
4. 4
4. Land tenure/ user rights
Land tenure or user rights must be secure and stable so that there can be clear
ownership, traceability and accountability for ecosystem service benefits such as
carbon reduction or sequestration, and the ability to commit to project interventions for
the duration of PES Agreements
5. Project activities
Must enable communities to plan and take control of their resources in a sustainable
way that promotes rural livelihoods and other environmental and social co-benefits
Must be able to generate ecosystem service benefits through one or more of the
following project intervention types under the Plan Vivo System:
Ecosystem restoration (e.g. assisted natural generation)
Ecosystem rehabilitation (e.g. inter-planting naturalised tree species)
Prevention of ecosystem conversion or degradation (e.g. REDD+)
Improved land use management (e.g. minimum till agriculture)
Must be additional, not liable to cause leakage, and provide foundations for
permanence, as described in the Plan Vivo Standard
Must involve the planting and/or promote the restoration or protection of native or
naturalised plant and tree species. The use of naturalised (i.e. non-invasive) species is
acceptable only where such species are:
Preferable to any alternative native species owing to compelling livelihood benefits;
Specifically selected by communities for this purpose;
Not going to result in any negative effects on biodiversity or the provision of key
ecosystem services in the project and surrounding areas
Must encourage the development of local capacity and minimise dependency on
external support
6. Expansion ambitions
Must be based on an commitment to initiating activities on a pilot basis, gaining
experience, and identifying improvements (‘learning by doing’)
Must be based on practical capabilities ‘on the ground’, not on high-level targets
imposed from above

State typical size of land-holdings in the project
List any conflicts or potential issues related to land tenure, including
any national/regional land reforms underway
Assessment of the difficulty in proving land tenure and/or carbon and
ES rights, detailing any measures to clarify or strengthen these rights
Plan Vivo Certificates are generated through activities where communities or smallholders have
rights to implement activities and benefit from payments for ecosystem services. This can be
demonstrated through land-tenure or long-term recognised user rights. Deeds of title are not strictly
required if tenure can be shown to be lawful and widely recognised. Any activities undertaken on
private/government-owned land that individuals or communities have user-rights for require explicit,
demonstrable ownership of associated carbon/ES rights.
Part E: Project Interventions & Activities
E1 Describe the types of interventions included in the project and envisaged to
generate PV Certificates (PV requirements 2.1.1-2.1.4), e.g.:
7. 7
Ecosystem restoration
Ecosystem rehabilitation
Prevention of ecosystem conversion or degradation (includes REDD+)
Improved land use management
Applicants must demonstrate a willingness to promote the use of indigenous species and recognise
that Plan Vivo activities generating Plan Vivo Certificates must be limited to native and naturalised
species
While there is no requirement for carbon/ecosystem service (ES) baselines to be defined at PIN
stage, any information held on potential carbon/ES benefits can be included here for additional
information (PV requirements 5.1-5.8)
Part F: Identification of Any Non-Eligible Activities
F1 Describe any additional activities to be supported or implemented by the
project
How these additional activities relate to the project objectives
Part G: Long-Term Sustainability Drivers
G1 Description of project design that will ensure the project is self-sustaining
after carbon/PES revenues cease
Project activities such as: high-value sustainable timber, NTFP
initiatives, sustainable enterprises, tree nurseries, ecotourism, etc.
Part H: Applicant Organisation & Proposed Governance
Structure
H1 Project Organisational Structure (PV requirements 3.1-3.6)
Identify organisations, communities, groups and individuals that
may/will be involved in the governance of the project and their
corresponding roles (use diagrams and tables if necessary)
Project coordinator and legal status – technical functions,
administrative functions, and social functions
Capacity and experience of each organisation involved
H2 Applicant organisation (not necessarily the project coordinator) must provide
the following information about itself:
Legal status (e.g. registered NGO);
Long-term objectives of the organisation;
Brief history and achievements;
Summary of current activities including details of scale and range;
Personnel to be involved in the project with details of relevant skills
and experience.
If the applicant organisation identifies another organisation to act as the project coordinator, the PIN
should be accompanied by a signed statement on behalf of the nominated organisation that the PIN
was submitted with their full consent.
The Plan Vivo System does not prescribe a specific organisational structure; this will vary depending
on the project context. More than one organisation may be involved in implementing a project. There
must, however, be one organisation that takes on the role of ‘project coordinator’ and as such is
responsible to the Foundation for conformance with the Plan Vivo Standard.
8. 8
Key responsibilities in a Plan Vivo project:
Administrative
Registration and recording of plan vivos and sale agreements;
Managing the use of project finance in the Plan Vivo and making payments
to producers
Coordinating and recording monitoring
Negotiating sales of Plan vivo Certificates
Reporting to the Plan Vivo Foundation
Contracting project validation and verification
Managing project data.
Technical
Providing technical support and training to producers in planning and
implementing project activities
Developing, reviewing and updating forestry and agroforestry systems
(technical specifications)
Evaluating plan vivos
Monitoring plan vivos
Social
Conducting preliminary discussions and continued workshops with
communities
Gathering socio-economic information for project registration and reporting
purposes
Helping groups/individuals to demonstrate land-tenure
Advising on issues such as mobilisation, setting up bank accounts, dispute
resolution, etc.
External Technical Support/Project Development Services
Project co-ordinators may require technical assistance to develop certain aspects of
the project. Potential areas of assistance:
Assisting in technical aspects of project design and development
Providing training to project technicians
Developing carbon/ES modelling and technical specifications
Part I: Community-Led Design Plan
I1 Submit a plan for achieving community participation in the project, including
a mechanism for ongoing consultation with target groups and producers
(PV requirement 4.1)
Participation in Plan Vivo projects must be through free, prior, informed consent (FPIC), and
demonstrable through consultation and participatory design processes. Projects should, at an early
stage, initiate discussions with target groups to identify project activities
Part J: Additionality Analysis
J1 Description of how project activities additional (PV requirement 5.4)
Statement that the project is not the product of a legislative decree,
or a commercial land-use initiative likely to have been economically
viable in its own right
Description of the current barriers to implementing the proposed
project, e.g. lack of finances, lack of technical expertise
Description of how the project will overcome these barriers.
Additionality is a key requirement for the sale of carbon services. A project can be described as
additional where it and the activities supported by it could not take place without the availability of
carbon/PES finance.
9. 9
Part K: Notification of Relevant Bodies & Regulations
K1 Provide both of the following (scanned copy of letter, or email):
Evidence of notification of the relevant national regulatory body of the
project proposal (e.g. national climate change focal point, Ministry of
Forestry, Dept. of Environment, REDD+ Agency, etc.)
Statement of intention to comply with all relevant national and
international regulations
Part L: Identification of Start-Up Funding
L1 Provide details of how the project will be financed in the development phase,
before full project registration
Start-up funding is an internal issue for project developers. However, start-up funding can be a
significant hurdle for new projects as carbon finance only becomes available after technical
specifications have been developed, community training undertaken, and multiple other costs such
as hiring staff, travel and external consulting costs have been incurred. Therefore projects are
encouraged to consider potential funding sources at an early stage.
