“While we commend this development, as well as the Iraqi federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government for their concerted efforts and strong coordination towards the implementation of the National Action Plan on women, peace and security, Iraq’s ability to implement its 1325 National Action Plan will be dependent on allocation of a budget and implementation of related national frameworks including the Joint Communique to address Conflict Related Sexual Violence”.
The UN is still advocating for a national machinery or entity on women’s affairs with adequate budget, human resources to coordinate the implementation of all national frameworks advancing women’s rights. “As we have highlighted before, on our part, we will continue our advocacy for immediate progress, but also for long-term reforms to structural barriers that inhibit the full and meaningful representation and participation of women in political decision-making. A lot of work remains to be done on the participation and protection pillar. Adoption of the Anti-Domestic Law as well as laws or policies that to enhance the representation of women in the Cabinet, Judiciary and other spheres of governance,” said Ms. Dihemo.

Quito.- En el marco de la declaratoria de Emergencia Sanitaria, las autoridades nacionales dieron a conocer las medidas que se implementarán para mitigar la propagación del coronavirus, COVID – 19, en Ecuador.
En las instalaciones del ECU911 en Guayaquil, el presidente de la República, Lenín Moreno, y en el de Quito, el vicepresidente de la República, Otto Sonnenzholner, presidieron la mesa técnica de trabajo donde se coordinaron las acciones necesarias para enfrentar la situación.
“Queda instalado el COE nacional y delego al Vicepresidente para el monitoreo permanente”, afirmó el primer mandatario, durante las declaraciones que se brindaron a los medios. Al respecto, la segunda autoridad del Ejecutivo anunció que “esta será la principal entidad para emitir información y tomar decisiones”.
El jefe de Estado, también, señaló que “hemos conseguido USD 80 millones de los multilaterales para brindar la atención necesaria”.
Por su parte, el vicemandatario aseguró que “en Ecuador el virus está controlado, tenemos 19 infectados, dos casos primarios y más de 200 personas en el cerco epidemiológico, la prioridad es proteger a los ciudadanos más vulnerables”.
Reiteró que las personas provenientes de las provincias chinas de Hubei y Guangdong y de los países España, Irán, Francia, Alemania, Corea del Sur e Italia, deberán someterse a un aislamiento de 14 días, en la misma ciudad por la que ingresen al país. De no hacerlo existirán sanciones.
Entre las medidas adoptadas se incluye: la atención a través de la línea 171, que ya ha tratado más de 500 mil casos; limitación de eventos masivos e incentivo del teletrabajo, en especial para los grupos de atención prioritaria, se está trabajando en una plataforma virtual para registro de los casos. Asimismo, a partir del lunes se harán exámenes de identificación del COVID -19 en Quito y se espera ampliar a todos los laboratorios del IESS.
Las distintas entidades se encuentran trabajando en conjunto para lograr evitar mayores contagios. En este contexto, la ministra de Gobierno, María Paula Romo, aclaró que según el Acuerdo Ministerial 00126-2020 “se prohíbe a las empresas de seguros de salud privada y a empresas de medicina prepagada limitar la cobertura para pacientes con esta enfermedad”.
La titular de Educación, Monserrat Creamer informó que “no existen casos de coronavirus en el ámbito educativo. El lunes se iniciará con la plataforma virtual para educación en línea y se realizarán programas complementarios en radio y televisión.

Persistent Gender Inequality in Iraq Calls for Coordinated Efforts in Developing 2nd National Action Plan on Implementing Resolution 1325
Baghdad, Iraq, 3 October 2018 – Gender inequality continues to prevail in Iraq with worrisome signals that it is deepening, requiring intensified efforts and coordination in developing a new action plan on implementing UN Security Council resolution 1325, UN Representative to Iraq Ján Kubiš said today at the high-level consultation meeting on the development of the 2nd National Action Plan. Although he was encouraged to see progress in the protection pillar and dedicated efforts to strengthen the participation pillar in the National Action Plan, the legacy of the conflict with the terrorist Da’esh continues to hamper steps forward and there are other worrying signs of women being targeted.
Mr. Kubiš condemned the recent attacks against women, including the assassination of two women and the sudden death of two others in the past month, all of them active in political and social spheres. Other civil society activists including women are targeted by social media and political threat campaign, among others for their contacts with foreign embassies. This is unacceptable.
“Only once politically and socially active women are protected and safe, Iraq can claim to be making real progress towards women’s equality and empowerment,” he said.
The development of a new NAP with all the diversity and complexity of issues will require continuous coordination and collaboration across sectors, in particular involving civil society, and drawing from the lessons learned from the previous plan, the Special Representative said.
“By making your deliberations open to the society, by publicly broadcasting them you could mobilise even broader support for your objectives,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq noted with disappointment that political forces that negotiate the formation of the government do so, again without the participation of women. “We all need to ask: “when the political leaders intend to deliver on their pledges to empower women and advance their rights as a part of the democratic entitlement of all Iraqis thus strengthening equal representation and inclusiveness? The time is now. Otherwise, all the exclamations about commitment to equality of women and values of democracy continue to sound hollow.”
Mr. Kubiš outlined UN efforts in support of women empowerment, noting that UNAMI supports women parliamentarians in their quest to establish a cross-political women’s parliamentary caucus. UNAMI will continue to impress on Political Parties who are key to advancing the participation of women in all processes to include women in their leadership structures, urging men advocates to assume a more prominent role, and parliamentarians to consider gender responsive budget in the next budget law to enhance the implementation of the NAP. The UN will also continue to advocate for the establishment of a dedicated institution in the next government structure with budget and authority to coordinate the implementation of the NAP and national frameworks and policies on WPS.
The UN in Iraq will also mobilise support of the broader international community, including through the International Gender Group from among embassies here in Baghdad, Mr. Kubiš concluded.

A un mes de implementarse el programa BonoGas, que permite financiar la instalación interna de gas natural en los hogares, especialmente de escasos recursos económicos, se han beneficiado más de 300 familias de Lima y el Callao con esta medida.
Así lo anunció, el ministro de Energía y Minas, Gonzalo Tamayo Flores, en la inauguración de las primeras conexiones domiciliarias con este combustible, financiadas por BonoGas, ubicadas en el distrito de San Juan de Miraflores. Explicó que desde que se inicio este programa, a inicios de octubre, hay alrededor de 8,000 inscritos. De ellos, 1,500 ya están en proceso de conexión.
Con esta iniciativa, que se enmarca dentro de los 100 primeros días de gestión, el Gobierno busca impulsar la masificación del uso del gas natural no solo en Lima sino también en el interior del país a través de diversos proyectos que están próximos a culminar.
Cabe indicar que, para las familias con ingresos bajos, el financiamiento con BonoGas será al 100%. En tanto, a los hogares con ingresos medios-bajos se les financiará el 75% y los de ingresos medios el 50% en 10 años.
Durante la visita que realizó a los hogares que ya cuentan con dicho combustible, Tamayo Flores estuvo acompañado del presidente del Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y Minería (OSINERGMIN), Jesús Tamayo Pacheco.
También informó que se está terminando de definir el diseño del BonoGNV, que financiará la conversión de vehículos a gas natural, lo que permitirá reducir el consumo de gasolina y gas licuado de petróleo (GLP). “Esta medida es consistente con las metas de sostenibilidad y el uso de las fuentes de energía abundantes del país”, refirió.
Tamayo Flores indicó que se usarán los fondos disponibles, que son cerca de 600 millones de soles, para la ejecución de obras de electrificación rural. A diciembre del 2016 se espera llegar al 81% de cobertura, la meta al 2021 es alcanzar el 99% de acceso universal del servicio de energía eléctrica.
Otra medida adoptada en los primeros 100 días, fue la reducción de las tarifas eléctricas, especialmente para las zonas rurales del interior del país, así como la revisión de los procedimientos administrativos, eliminando 16 trámites, que restaban agilidad y eficiencia al portafolio, refirió.

Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups.

Shaheed Sabrin implemented the first-ever movie review month at the University of Malaysia in Kelantan. It entailed watching a film, followed by lessons on good discussion leading. Finally, students rated the film and explored the pressing issues (relating them to American culture). They reflected on the events within the films, as related to their daily lives. The films were Rebel Without a Cause (1955) & Catch Me If You Can (2002). He had 40 students enjoying pizza, popcorn, apple cider, and fresh juice/fruit. They enjoyed relating the film’s concepts to global issues of acceptance, bullying, and adolescent challenges. Critical thinking was a key factor in exploring the mentality of the characters in the round-table discussions after viewing. Students met again to reflect on the pertinent issues after thinking about it for a week. Shaheed says this initiative is extremely important, since there are absolutely no movie theatres in Kelantan. It gives students a safe environment to discuss taboo issues in the conservative and rural city of Kota Bharu.
