The document discusses Italy's Inner Areas strategy being implemented in Tuscany. The strategy aims to improve quality of life and opportunities in remote, depopulating areas through improved services, jobs, and sustainable development. Four areas were selected as pilot project areas based on participatory processes. Local strategies were developed through analysis of needs, opportunities, and actions to address both basic "rights" like education and healthcare as well as economic "growth." The strategies seek to leverage areas' strengths while reducing development bottlenecks.
Introduction to Strategic Doing in AustraliaEd Morrison
This presentation, by Pam Wardner of the Univeristy of the Sunshine Coast, introduces Strategic Doing to economic developers in Australia.
The University is introducing Strategic Doing to the Sunshine Coast region in a Futures conference in November 2015.
The speaker thanks the mayor and guests for the invitation to speak. They will present on the topic "Culture has more to give to society than just being a subsector of development". The speaker believes culture should be seen as a transversal topic that impacts many aspects of society and development. They will discuss recommendations from research conducted in six countries on how culture can contribute to areas like participatory policymaking, decentralization, social inclusion, innovation, and economic development through cultural industries and tourism. Integrating culture into development strategies can generate economic and social benefits for communities.

The Italian Inner Areas Pilot Action from 2014-2020 aimed to address rural-urban disparities in Italy. It identified remote and underserved inland areas cut off from essential services located in urban centers. Municipalities were classified based on travel time to centers offering services like healthcare, education, and transportation. 72 inter-municipal areas were then selected to develop local strategies to improve access to services, foster social inclusion, and boost economic growth through coordinated actions and funding from various public sources. Key actions proposed focused on enhancing healthcare infrastructure, increasing home care services, improving transport, and integrating social and health sectors. Monitoring of results centered on indicators like reduced emergency response times and increased outpatient services.

SDGs at the local level vs territorial strategies in Tuscany: current status ...POR FESR Toscana
The document discusses Tuscany's efforts to implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level through territorial strategies and regional policies. It summarizes previous analyses that evaluated how well Tuscany's regional development program aligns with the SDGs and assessed the impact of territorial strategies on well-being. It then outlines next steps, which include developing a regional sustainable development strategy, collaborating with the JRC on using data platforms to monitor SDG implementation locally, and continuing to measure progress using evidence-based indicators.
The document discusses sustainable tourism projects supported by the World Bank Group. It provides an overview of the WBG's tourism portfolio and pipeline, which totals approximately $3.6 billion across 186 projects. The portfolio supports activities like destination planning, cultural heritage rehabilitation, and improving skills and the business environment in the tourism sector. Challenges discussed include the need for stronger governance, social inclusion, capacity building, and integrated solutions that address infrastructure, institutions, communities, and the environment to ensure sustainable impacts. Recent case studies from countries like Georgia, China, and Mozambique are also summarized.

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.

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.

Tuscany Inner Areas strategy
An history of participation
2. InnerInner AreasAreas Strategy:Strategy: inin briefbrief
Inner Areas are
• territories characterized by a NOT adequate
offer of/ access to essential services to assure a
certain level of citizenship among population.
• territories substantially far from large and
medium-sized urban centres able to supply
adequate health, educational and transport
services.
• Inner areas are considered strategically
relevant to foster a more sustainable and
inclusive national growth.
Aims of the strategy
• Improve the quality of life and wellbeing of
local communities
• Increase local employment and work
opportunities
• Recover un-valorised natural resources and
territorial capital
• Reduce the social cost due to the
progressive depopulation trend characterizing
these areas
• Strengthen local development factors
Ultimate goal of the strategy
Reinforcement of demographic structure
5 main innovations
• National dimension and multilevel
governance (Centres – Regions –municipalities
and inter municipalities cooperation)
• In the project areas – at the same time -
services improvements (mainly through
national policy) and investments in selected
development factors (regional policy)
• Multi-fund attitude (EAFRD, ERDF, ESF and
National Funds)
• Participatory approach to local
development
• Municipalities Associations.

The regional Government publishes a call for proposal
entrusting the territory to propose a local development
strategy based on and able to respond to local population
and economic system needs addressing “rights” (i.e.
Education, Health-welfare and mobility policies) and
“growth” (economic development) simultaneously.
Size and entity of the participation process are considered
as selection criteria.
While programming Regional Inner
