The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) held an event under the theme 'Sports together for a united country' at the Juba Basketball stadium on 17th April 2016.
UNESCO and UNMISS worked closely with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, the National Olympic Committee, and the Maale Foundation for Heritage Development, to organize this event as a celebration of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
Sport provides an unparalleled opportunity for people to meet, compete and build bonds.
UNESCO, as the United Nation’s lead agency for Physical Education and Sport (PES), promotes sport as a vital medium for peace and development. UNESCO recognizes the practice of sport as an instrument for promoting peace, a powerful vehicle for social integration, economic development, gender equality and youth empowerment, with benefits that are felt far beyond the stadiums. Indeed, the values acquired in and through sport such as fair play and a team spirit, are invaluable to the whole of society since, sports disregards geographical border, ethnic differences and social classes.
Since 2013 the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace has honoured sport's role as a vehicle for social inclusion and youth development. This year, UNESCO South Sudan and its partners marked the day by bringing together women’s volleyball teams from Juba town, UNMISS, and the UN Protection of Civilians sites for a friendly tournament at the Juba Basketball Stadium.
The sport matches were accompanied by displays of martial arts, children's singing, traditional cultural dances reflecting South Sudan’s cultural diversity as well as peace messages from Mr. Salah Khaled, UNESCO Country Representative and Head of Office, South Sudan, Mr. Eugene Owusu, UNMISS Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the South Sudan National Olympic Committee.
In his message for the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, described sports as 'a unique and powerful tool for promoting dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of every member of the human family'.

I added a small scenic board alongside the narrow (one foot) hill baseboard. A block of four large terraced houses (the Kingsway TERBF kit) just fits on this. It acts as a background for photos taken at Trinity Square terminus and also as a 'blocker' in order to suggest new vistas.
This view shows the front of the houses on the right, with Trinity Square in the background.

‘The SDGs in Action: Eradicating Poverty and Promoting Inclusive Prosperity in a Changing World,’ a high level side event organized by the UN Development Group, in conjunction with the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF 2017), discussed how countries at various stages of development, including those faced with complex situations such as violent conflict and fragility are accelerating efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The theme of the HLPF, ‘Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world’ challenges the UN and Member States to hold true to the 2030 Agenda pledge to leave no one behind and to reach the furthest behind first.
Mr. Achim Steiner, UNDG Chair and UNDP Administrator highlighted on the need to pursue an integrated approach versus “cherry-picking” priority areas, where the UN can help identify synergies and trade-offs in different country contexts to determine interventions that yield benefits across several SDGs.
“The critical importance of leaving no one behind and reaching the furthest behind first: here the UN can help countries better understand and address inequalities in all their forms”.

Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, New York, USA 19 - 23 September
U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Rural Development RD Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small departs from Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District facility, where it was announced that the USDA is investing $102 million to expand access to housing and water infrastructure for socially disadvantaged rural people who live and work in 45 states and American Samoa, during a visit to Siesta Shores and Falcon Lake in Zapata Co., TX, on Dec 16, 2022. The 263 projects in which USDA invests will create economic opportunities and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in rural America.
The investments are part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensure that people living in rural America have equitable access to the infrastructure and economic opportunities they deserve.
“USDA invests in rural America because we know a strong community is rooted in its people,” Torres Small said. “Thanks to the leadership of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, USDA can help invest in opportunity and prosperity for all people, regardless of background or financial status, who make up the character and personality of our great country’s rural lands.”
The Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District in Zapata County, Texas, receives a $1 million Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant to purchase a filter upgrade along with new raw water pumps and electrical wiring. It also will install six-inch raw water piping and fittings to reach the deeper parts of the community’s water source, Falcon Lake.
These investments are in addition to the recent expansion of the Rural Partners Network (RPN), which is central to President Biden’s commitment to ensure all rural people can benefit from federal resources. Led by USDA with support from more than 20 federal agencies and commissions, RPN is part of an all-of-government strategy to champion rural people and places, including Native American communities.
These programs are Water and Waste Disposal Grants to Alleviate Health Risks on Tribal Lands and Colonias, Appalachian Regional Commission Grants, Delta Health Care Grants, Socially Disadvantaged Groups Grants, Housing Preservation Grants, Rural Community Development Initiative Grants, Tribal College Initiative Grants, Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants, Rural and Native Alaskan Village Grants, Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants and Community Facilities Disaster Grant Program.

Forest Hills, Queens
Development and urbanization of Queens progressed slowly during the nineteenth century. When the area became the Borough of Queens after consolidation into the City of New York in 1898, the population was only 152,999 people, due in large part to its inaccessibility. Although the first train line between Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and Jamaica, Queens began as early as 1836, and a few other routes were established through Queens to other parts of Long Island in the 1850s, 60s and 70s, train travel was limited.
The Pennsylvania Railroad purchased the Long Island Railroad in 1900 and electrified the trains through Queens in 1905-08. However, they all had to connect by ferry to Manhattan until 1909 when the Queensborough Bridge opened. In 1910, the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its tunnels under the East River, making Queens an attractive location within easy commuting distance to Manhattan, and its population soared to 284,041.
Many of the towns and buildings in Queens were developed after the turn of the twentieth century, as a result of the improved mass transit system and a dramatically enlarged road system. St. Albans and Bellerose, followed closely by Auburndale, Beechhurst, and Forest Hills were among the many residential areas developed during the early years of the century.
In 1906, developer Cord Meyer who had previously been active in the Elmhurst section of Queens, purchased 600 acres (comprising the land of six farms) in the area known as the Hopedale section of Whitepot. Changing the name to Forest Hills because of its high ground and its proximity to the beautiful terrain of Forest Park, he began to lay out streets, install utilities, and construct the first houses. To encourage sales, Meyer's company ran horse-drawn stages to Forest Hills from the closest train station in Elmhurst.
By 1908, the Long Island Railroad was running three steam-driven trains a day with a local stop at Austin Street and Roman Avenue. This spurred the sale of 160 acres south of the railroad line to the Russell Sage Foundation, a philanthropic institution founded by Sage's widow, Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage to improve the social and living conditions of the poor. Despite the foundation's interest in low-income housing, it developed the Forest Hills property as a revenue-generating venture, hiring architect Grosvener Atterbury and the landscape architecture firm of the Olmstead Brothers to create a picturesque enclave of homes, schools, churches, and businesses.
The electrification of the Long Island Railroad in 1909 and the opening of the Queensborough Bridge that same year further advanced the development of Forest Hills. With the widening of Queens Boulevard in 1913, Cord Meyer began the improvement of his remaining acreage.
Meyer's first apartment building was constructed in 1917, followed by others in the twenties. By 1921, his company had constructed 200 homes, some designed by architects Robert Tappan and William Patterson. The world famous West Side Tennis Club, home of the U. S. Open Tennis Tournament for many years, was constructed in Forest Hills in 1923. The opening of the Independent subway line with a stop at Queens Boulevard and Continental Avenue in 1936 was another major improvement which stimulated growth in the area, reflected in new businesses opening here.
