A followup to my photo during the interesting loading of these vessels destined for scrap. The Development Way is a semi-submersible -- the floating cargo is nudged into position, then she lifts back out of the water and everything is welded and secured in place for the trip to China.
Something I hadn't noticed until I shot this closer detail is that the Straits Logger has another three small vessels loaded on top of her.

Houses attached in a row are called "row houses". Row house development in America began in Philadelphia. A Row house differs in the manner in which it was originally developed by the builder. Historically, someone would purchase a plot of land and then commission craftsmen to build a house, or houses, on it for their personal use. With row houses, a developer would purchase an entire block of plots, build a row of connected houses and then sell the finished buildings. This is called speculative development and was a new concept in the early 19th Century. Because of the origins of row houses in Philadelphia, row houses in America were called “Philadelphia Row Houses,” at least in the beginning.

Producing a local delicacy in Cote d’Ivoire called attiéké. Similar to couscous, attiéké is a fermented Ivoiran side dish, highly sought after in the region. Through the donation of a mill and a creative cassava partnership, the women had what they needed to start their small business. They are now making and selling attiéké. With pride, women told us of their informal distribution channels that stretched all the way to Mali.

Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, New York, USA 19 - 23 September 2022
The community participation was impressive. In addition to having made reservoirs and fountains they had dug a six kilometer one meter deep trench leading from where the source was capped to the last of a half dozen fountains.
Three villages had worked together for three months, each village working two days a week. They call this way of working together Salongo. Nearly all the villagers work on communal projects until 11h00, in the afternoon going about their own business. Teachers are excused and should a villager not which to work he can pay an exemption per day of 400 Francs Congolais, about 75 US cents.
Villagers contribute 200 Francs Congolais for the maintenance of the project. We were told that this was the same cost as two bottles of banana beer and therefore was affordable.
I suspect that the participation was particularly successful because of the help of the diocese and the lack of fighting in the village. For the villagers the diocese is credible, it supports the villagers on a variety of issues and has been doing so for years. The lack of damage from war or displacement means that villagers do not have to spend their timer repairing what has been lost and broken and hence have more time to spare for community work.
I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.

Based on findings in the recent Open Consultation process, this year's Action Line Facilitation meeting on e-business (C7) focuses on electronic commerce (e-commerce) for development. E-commerce is rapidly expanding, but the uptake in many developing countries remains relatively low, especially for SMEs. This session considers the opportunities, barriers and challenges to domestic and cross-border use of e-commerce for trading goods and services by SMEs. It also highlight good practices and promising developments that can serve as inspiration for all stakeholders. An interactive discussion will feature the views of panelists representing governments, international organizations and the private sector as well as comments from the floor. The last part of the session will seek to identify concrete steps forward to accelerate the development contribution of e-commerce.
