Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
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.

1. DISTRICT GOVERNOR’S
MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
Let me start off by
expressing my sincere
thanks to Immediate
Past District Governor
Eugene Fong, his team
of District Officers and
Presidents for their great
works well done in Rotary Year 2013 - 14!
Time flies! It is like yesterday when I was
elected District Governor Nominee
Designate. And here I am, writing my
Message as Governor for August DG
Newsletter. I started to prepare for our
2014 - 15 Rotary Year right after I was
elected in the first quarter of 2012.
Thanks to our Assistant Governors, our
District Secretaries, our District
Committee Chairpersons and their team
members as well as our Presidents for
starting early and working hard with me to
be well-prepared for this Rotary Year.
Our 2014 - 15 Rotary International Year
Theme is Light Up Rotary. Our Rotary
International President Gary Huang
would like us to light up Rotary in the
areas of Membership, Rotary Services
and Rotary Family. I genuinely think
that it is a great theme because it is
general enough to be applicable for
all. All Rotarians do goods and there
are 1.2 million of us in the world. If each
good we do means lighting up one
candle, we, together will light up enough
candles to light up the world!
One of the many roles of Rotary
Governor is to transform the Year Theme
into actionable plans, taking into
considerations the culture, the
characters, the history and the strength
of his/her District and Clubs. In District
3450, we shall work together to
(1) make Rotary fun and enjoyable;
(2) engage our family in Rotary; (3)
enhance public image of Rotary; (4)
grow our membership; (5) ensure
effective communications and
administrations; (6) develop future
leaders; (7) preserve our planet earth;
and (8) support The Rotary
Foundation in 2014 - 15. On top of
our usual very meaningful club
activities and projects, a series of
District Committee Programs to
facilitate us to achieve our Year
Theme are planned and listed, month-
by-month, in our 2014 - 15 District
Pocket Planner.
I do look forward to another fruitful
Rotary Year with all Rotarians of our
District!
August is Rotary’s “Membership” month. Now let’s turn our
focus towards finding and keeping members. However, your club’s
focus should extend well beyond August! So in upholding spirit of
membership, our message this month is simple - Let your friends
know that you’re a proud Rotarian!

"Be A Brand Ambassador
for Rotary"
The future of Rotary International depends on membership and membership depends on how our organization is viewed
EXTERNALLY by the general public and, INTERNALLY by our own members. With this point in mind, the District PI
Committee has a brand new structure this year with specific sub-committees being up, such like Internal Communications,
External Communications, Professional Association Relations, NGO & Service Partner Relations and PI Marketing just to
name a few. It is important that communications must go beyond what we do and address why we do it and what difference
we made. We must have a distinct approach, be engaging and demonstrate the impact.
Specific items have been developed to enhance the District Identity; important District PI goals have been set with initiatives
on how to achieve them. A series of PI workshop will be organized with the first one on ―Telling Your Rotary Story‖ to be held
on Saturday August 23. Two distinguished professionals will share their experiences with us. It will be an invaluable
opportunity for fellow Rotarians to learn how best to tell our Rotary Story and to capture the Rotary moment in pictures. Let
us ―Light Up Rotary‖ by sharing our Rotary story.
From PDG Ada Cheng, District PI Committee Chair
World Polio Day: 24 Oct 2014
World Polio Day is quickly approaching on October 24th.
This is a chance for Rotarians, clubs, and districts across
the world to come together to fight polio. There are many
ways you could mark the day. Dedicate your club meeting to
focus on Rotary’s work to end polio that week. Community
fundraisers on/around World Polio Day are great a way to
raise awareness of our cause in the general public. You
could take the opportunity to remind government officials to
support the global commitment to a polio free world-
Rotary’s top priority. On World Polio Day, wear your End
Polio Now pin and encourage your friends and family to do
the same.
This year, a End Polio Now: Make History Today Livestream
event, including a global update on the current status of
polio eradication, will take place on World Polio Day- 24
October 2014—at 18:30pm CDT and will be streamed live at
endpolionow.org. I encourage your club/district to have a
viewing party of the event, or incorporate it into your existing
World Polio Day plans. The archived video will be available
following the live program. Additional event details may be
found at endpolionow.org.

District Membership Seminar
To Light Up Rotary Membership, which is No. 1
priority emphasized by RI President Gary Huang,
our District Membership Development & Retention
Seminar was held at Police Officer's Club
Causeway Bay on 2 August.
It was one of the hottest days in the week but we
had a very good attendance at the seminar. There
were 49 Rotarians representing 26 clubs which
were about the target we anticipated. The
committee including PP Sam, PP Martin, PP
Michael, PP Olive, CP Joe Joe and PDG Jones,
together with our special Guest of Honour PDG
Anthony, have performed a full duty in preparing all
important and informative materials about
Membership Development, Recruitment, Retention,
Referral and Relocation, as well as Getting to know
about the Rotary World.
The 2-hour sessions and 1-hour fellowship lunch have found attentive audience giving them no time to relax. Questions were
raised for different interests after 4 sessions of presentation although time was overrun a bit. Before closing, everyone
present was asked to work together to make a record in D3450 by achieving 2000 members and even more in this Rotary
Year.

District Singing
Group
"Led by PP Mahmood, the
District Singing Group was
formed in mid April this
year for the purpose of
bringing more funs in
district events by singing.
In order to get more singing
members, the Group held a
karaoke singing fellowship
on Sunday 3 August. Over
20 Rotarians and friends
participated and enjoyed
the event. With the new
joined ones from this event,
the Group now has over 20
singers"

International Yachting Fellowship
of Rotarians (IYFR)
The 6
th
commodore of IYFR Hong Kong Fleet was
installed in the evening of August 6. Flag was
passed from Immediate Past Commodore Joann to
Commodore Chris at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht
Club.
DG Belinda bear witness to the installation. PDG
John, the incumbent DG when IYFR was chartered
in 2000, PDG Jones, PDG Ada, DGE Peter, DGN
Eric all descended upon us for the evening. It is
great to see how IYFR have grown from a small
circle of yachting enthusiasts to a significant
hobbyist group in the district. How each of the
commodores lay the building block for their
succeeding counterparts.

Special Feature on RI President Gary
by PP Edwin Tsang, Rotary Club of New Territories
RI President Gary CK
Huang
黃其光國際扶輪社社長
Rotary International President Gary
CK Huang (黃其光) is the first RI
President of Chinese descent and is
also the last District Governor of
District 345 (Taiwan, Hong Kong &
Macao) in 1986-87 before the District
was split into two, breaking off from
Taiwan. Thereafter District 3450 was
set up with the first late District
Governor Dr. Raymond Wong.
RI President Gary Huang is a dedicated past President of RC of Taipei. His
continued enthusiasm and dedicated Rotary Services prompted him to
become the District Governor 345 in 1986-1987 and then R.I. Director in year
2000-02. In 2000, he was the Convenor of Hong Kong Zone Institute, inter
alia, holding Zone Conference / Exhibition on Presidential Task Forces at
Central MTR Station. Finally, with his outstanding achievement, he out-
performed all other candidates to become the first Chinese R.I. President
2014-2015. With the full support of his Rotarianne Corinna, he is our
distinguished Rotary personality in the Rotary World.
When he was District Governor 1986-87, District 345 comprised 24 Rotary
Clubs as at the Jan/1987 (Table 1). With his dedicated effort in District
Extension Programme, three new Clubs were chartered, namely, Rotary Club
of Kowloon Golden Mile (CP Chandru Parmanand) in 25/2/1987, Rotary Club
of Hong Kong Harbour (CP Patrick Poon) in 25/3/1987 and Rotary of
Kowloon Northeast (CP John Sze) in 18/5/1987. At that time, the Rotary
Theme was ―Rotary Brings Hope‖ when the R.I. President was MAT Caparas.
He maintains constant contact and reunion with his beloved past club
presidents of his year from 1986 to today.

seat theatre, 800-seat auditorium,
huge function hall, library and student
dormitory and were truly impressed.
The new campus, with 60+ buildings
and 280+ labs, is 20 times larger than
before. It is under Macao jurisdiction
and connected to Macao by
underwater tunnel for vehicle and
pedestrian without immigration control.
Apart from academic degrees, the
university will share resources with
Macao community by offering practical
courses to working people in Macao to
improve Macao residents’
competitiveness to contribute to
economic diversification in Macao.
The interesting tour ended with a
wonderful fellowship dim sum lunch

Here, I am very proud to announce that, organized
by R.I. District 3450, the Asia Pacific Regional
Rotaract Conference, one of the largest scale
Rotaract annual events, turned into a great
success in its birthplace – Hong Kong during 7 –
10 July, a decade after being initiated in 2004.
I would like to show my appreciation towards all the sponsoring and
supporting organizations. I also thank you RI President Gary Huang
and his personal representative PDG Electronics’ recognition towards
our conference. On top of that, Rotary leaders in District 3450 also
gave us tremendous guidance. They are not only Rotaractors’
mentors, but also our close working partners. And this seamless
relationship is always crucial for the success of the conference.
APRRC is designated to demonstrate the Rotaract spirit. I am very
happy that over 750 delegates across Asia Pacific participated in the
event, fully leveraging this wonderful platform not only to enhance
their personal knowledge, but also widen their horizon.
The conference has been unforgettable. I was particularly delighted
to receive very positive feedback from all the participants, saying
APRRC 2014 brought them a lot of fun, unforgettable memories and
life-long friendships. I am proud to say that APRRC 2014 is very
successful, fully demonstrating the capability of District 3450 in
