Development means increased police presence and I think that's the commentary of the art on this block.
The reason for development is not just location, an area is attractive b/c of its people.

Building capacity to increasing the legitimacy of CSOs: a view across the spectrum of self-regulation and accountability
Format: Engagement workshop (1h30)
Summary: If civil society organisations are to be truly effective as a voice for citizens around the world, they need to work hard on standards for continuous improvement of their own governance, as a way to better respond to expectations from citizens, funders, volunteers, staff, and other stakeholders who are increasingly expecting demonstrations of good governance and better impact. CSO self-regulation mechanisms are therefore required, but these need to be by and for civil society rather than be imposed by funders or governments.
The three presenters will convey the varying expectations and challenges faced in their three different countries and regions when CSOs decide to embrace self-regulation, and the implication of this in their work with governments at different levels, mass media, social networks, international cooperation agencies and other relevant actors. Imagine Canada will present its newly launched programme of rigorous peer review, which aims at helping CSOs to improve their practice in the areas of board governance, financial transparency and accountability, fundraising, staff management and volunteer involvement, while responding to the new expectations of society. The Latin American network Rendir Cuentas will present a regional perspective on these issuess.
Panel:
Marcel Lauzière, President and CEO, Imagine Canada, Canada
Anabel Cruz, Director, Institute of Communication and Development (ICD), Uruguay

Despite Greece imposing severe persecution upon me ever since my unlawful expulsion from Sweden in September 2015, my persistent endeavors to acquire legal aid for my defense at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and domestically have been unfruitful.
The Greek Courts have been consistently ignoring or denying my entreaties for legal aid without valid reasons, except for my latest case. Nonetheless, the assigned lawyer has not fulfilled his duties satisfactorily.
Before revisiting the Athens Bar Association for this matter once again, I also pursued another issue regarding two other complaints submitted to them in September 2019. These complaints were against two lawyers affiliated with the Hellenic Action for Human Rights (H.A.HU.R.) for their deceitfulness and failure to submit my case to the ECHR. They had undertaken this task in May 2018.

11 July 2012 - Afghan civil society has demanded an active role in decision making, policy development and monitoring of the policy implementations within the framework of mutual accountability endorsed in the Tokyo Conference on Afghanistan earlier this week.
The representatives of Afghan civil society, who attended the International Conference on Afghanistan in Tokyo, addressed a press conference today upon their return to Kabul.
Hayatullah Hayat, the spokesman of the Afghan civil society said that the international community has made funding commitments up to 2024 but these funding is not clear on yearly basis. He demanded from the international community to specify the funding commitments for each year in the lead up to 2024.
“Funding commitments are also not clear for priority sectors such as agriculture, education and health,” said Hayatullah. “Afghan Government should strictly consider issues of human rights and environment protection while awarding contracts to the foreign countries in the mining sector.”
The civil society representatives also demanded from the Afghan government to share with them reports of Financial Management Policy, which has been endorsed for up to December 2012.
Another speaker in the press conference, Ajmal Balochzada said he told that participants of the Tokyo Conference that Afghan government should accelerate its efforts on anti-corruption, anti-terrorism, good governance, human rights, women’s rights and rule of law and the flow of international funding should be linked with progress on these matters.
“In the wake of its past ten-year performance, concerns exist among the international community on the ability of the Afghan Government to have any significant achievement during the coming two years,” said Balochzada.
A total of 30 representatives of the Afghan civil society – 50 per cent of them being women – travelled to Tokyo last week to attend an international conference of civil society in Tokyo on 7 July 2012 and the main international conference a day later.
These representatives were elected earlier in a national gathering of civil society organizations in Kabul to advocate on behalf of civil society organizations and people of Afghanistan on key national issues with the international and national decision makers in Tokyo.
Over 70 Government representatives and international organizations participated in the daylong conference, which agreed to provide US$ 16 billion to meet Afghanistan’s economic and development needs through 2015. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the Conference that the UN would extend “strong support” to Afghanistan throughout the Transformation Decade, 2015-2025, while calling on donors to continue to keep the flow of their assistance. The UN chief also called on Afghanistan to play its part according to the Mutual Accountability Framework endorsed by the Conference.

"Have you ever noticed how big businesses are never responsible for anything? Whether it's runoff into the water or pesticide drift, big businesses just write things off. We had a big company near here that completely ruined part of the water system. They finally moved out of town, but they left us with a big mess. So, who's responsible? It bothers me when I don't know who to get in touch with if I don't life what's going on at the adjoining farm. If I have a problem, who am I going to call? Now, they're all hired men, and hired men don't make decisions. If this trend continues, pretty soon, no one will know who's in charge. Maybe there won't even be anyone in charge."

The Gulf Oil Spill: A Classic Failure of Systems Leadership
No one wants to take responsibility now, which is equivalent to saying that no one was taking responsibility in the first place: a devastating failure of systems leadership.
. . . Consider, for example, the statement by Tim Probert, Halliburton's president of global business lines, [also the Company's Chief Health, Safety and Environment Officer] that the company was "contractually bound to comply with the well owner's instructions on all matters relating to the performance of all work‐related activities."; Basically, he's saying, "regardless of how dangerous we think instructions are, including the potential for our own employees to die, we are obligated to blindly follow them." What an incredible cop-out.
. . . As systems become more complex, the likelihood of systems failures becomes ever greater. Absent a fundamental rethinking of how we define and enforce accountability, we should have absolutely no confidence that leaders in the private and public sectors will take responsibility when things hit the fan.

The standards and accountability movement in education within the past decade comes from a place of good intention. No child should be left behind with a poor education, right? Sure, that sounds all great in policy and in speeches. Yet, the implementation of this federal policy has resulted in many unintentional consequences. Staff and teachers are feeling immense pressure to show student improvement on standardized test. This pressure has resulted in many schools moving away from a creative learning environment to one of “drill and kill” or “teaching to the test.” Teachers only focus on the skills students need to know to do well on the test. Many of those skills include being how to fill in the bubble recording sheet and use certain test tasking strategies. Some educators have even been accused of cheating on the tests, changing students’ wrong answers to correct answers once the tests have been turned in, in hopes of meeting year progress and not suffering the punitive consequences.
I took this picture of the flash cards I use with my first graders. We are teaching them number combination families starting at combinations of 5 and going through 12. During each tutoring session, we time the students with flash cards and reward speed and accuracy. Yes, mathematics acquisition in important. But do you remember constantly doing math facts in first grade? I remember doing it for my multiplication tables. But I surely didn’t learn how to add 8+2=10 by memorizing it. Could this be the result of this “drill and kill” dribbling down to the younger grades?
