"The Ulster American Folk Park is an open-air museum just outside Omagh, in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. With more than 30 exhibit buildings to explore, the museum tells the story of three centuries of Irish emigration. Using costumed guides and displays of traditional crafts, the museum focuses on those who left Ulster for America in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The museum is part of National Museums Northern Ireland.
Within the museum there are many restored, original buildings with connections to local families. The park was developed around the Mellon House, the birthplace of Irish-American banker and lawyer Thomas Mellon, founding father of the Mellon banking dynasty. This house and its outbuildings remain in their original location. Visitors can taste samples of traditional Irish and pioneer American foods including freshly baked soda bread and pumpkin pie all made on the hearths and griddles of the exhibit buildings. The museum also includes agricultural displays and an array of farm animals."
The part of the museum I thought was interesting and well done is the transition from Ireland to America. As you work through the exhibits of buildings you reach a port town where you enter the bowels of a ship such as emigrants would have taken. Once out of the ship you have reached North America and buildings and exhibits continue from there. The transition is quite well done.

Prosperidad Social implementará convenios con organizaciones sociales y juntas de acción comunal (JAC) para los proyectos de infraestructura social y hábitat, que financia y ejecuta en los municipios más pobres del país. La directora de la entidad, Cielo Rusinque Urrego, lo anunció este viernes en el Congreso Nacional de Municipios, organizado por la Federación Nacional de Municipios en Cartagena de Indias.
“Tenemos capacidad legal para hacer estos convenios solidarios, en compañía con el ente territorial. Acompañaremos técnicamente lo que requieran, de acuerdo con la complejidad de las obras y la capacidad que haya en el territorio. Vincular a estas organizaciones beneficiará la economía popular y garantizará la participación de la comunidad”, explicó. Recordó que el Gobierno Nacional pretende fortalecer a las organizaciones sociales y comunitarias y fomentar su participación en los procesos de desarrollo territorial.
Las JAC integrarán el comité que seleccionará los proyectos de infraestructura. Serán priorizados de acuerdo con una clasificación que cruza criterios, entre esos, los índices de desnutrición, riesgo de victimización y pobreza multidimensional. El comité estará conformado por representantes de las JAC, el Ministerio de la Igualdad, la Consejería de Regiones, el ICBF, la Unidad para las Víctimas y Prosperidad Social.
La entidad tiene 500.000 millones de pesos destinados a la ejecución de obras de infraestructura social y hábitat durante este año. “100.000 millones de pesos están destinados a la subsanación de los proyectos pendientes de vigencias anteriores. El resto están destinados a obras en territorios que podamos apoyar, de acuerdo con las necesidades y con la aplicación del enfoque diferencial territorial”, informó Rusinque.
En el escenario del congreso de alcaldes, el subdirector de Programas y Proyectos de la entidad, Carlos Chinchilla, y el director de infraestructura, Eduardo Mesa, atendieron a alcaldes de municipios en los que hay proyectos suspendidos de vigencias anteriores, para acordar la realización de las mesas técnicas en las que revisarán la posibilidad de agilizarlos.
Desde noviembre pasado, la entidad organiza estas mesas técnicas para revisar la viabilidad de los proyectos de infraestructura social con mayor impacto en las condiciones de las poblaciones más vulnerables: con mayor incidencia de hambre y pobreza, y riesgos o consecuencias por el invierno. Desde entonces, ha logrado destrabar cerca de setenta obras en más de sesenta municipios del país. Algunas de estas obras fueron entregadas este mes durante una jornada nacional.
“Recibimos una ejecución del presupuesto del 5 %. En pocos meses, al finalizar el año, la llevamos a la ejecución de más del 75 %, mediante el acompañamiento en mesas técnicas para viabilizar y ejecutar los proyectos”, recordó Rusinque este viernes.

From July 25th to July 28th 2018, we were in Herat province, where UNDP has implemented more than 54 livelihoods projects (54 greenhouses, 6 raisin houses, 1 beehive, 1 kitchen garden and 2 rangeland rehabilitations), supported by the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF). We also trained 294 farmers on how to process and store food, and protected 76 hectares of land from flooding.
The project, which partners with the Afghan Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock (MAIL), improved irrigation for 5,090 hectares of agricultural land and helped communities to repair 4 canals, 6 protection walls, 8 canal intakes, 1 Kariz rehabilitation and 2 water control gates.
During the trip, Napoleon Navarro, UNDP’s Senior Deputy Country Director (programmes) visited several irrigation projects.
“Our people are always grateful. They will appreciate and remember if people take even the smallest obstacle from our path, or lay just one stone to rebuild our country.” a villager told Napoleon during his visit to an irrigation project in Karukh district.
Napoleon also visited other components of the Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP), including greenhouses managed by women and a beekeeping farm for women in need, as well as meeting with local people and listening to their concerns.
“We are nothing without agriculture and irrigation,” said another beneficiary in Zindajan district. “So we hope that there are more and more projects like this. They have a great effect on our lives.”
During the visit, the villagers expressed their appreciation by giving Napoleon a turban to wear, an Afghan token of respect. “The turban is also the best thing to protect you from the sun,” said Napoleon. “A cap isn’t good enough!”
Thanks to the project, 800 women & 150 men understand climate-resilient farming and alternative livelihoods. Around 15 women self-help groups are engaged in sustainably profitable livelihoods and 150 farmers have benefitted from increased livestock production through rehabilitation of 400 hectares of degraded rangeland.
Furthermore, UNDP environment projects are helping people adapt and finding jobs in the face of climate change, bringing clean power to rural areas, preparing for natural disasters, establishing and protecting national parks, and conserving biodiversity for future generations.

This kitchen implement was rarely used in the past and now only occupies space in the drawer with the micrograters, toothpicks, and meat thermometer - there's no telling why it is still there...Any idea what it is? Someone invented it for profit, though I doubt many were sold as I've not seen them around these days.
Tools of our trade, be it at home or at work, have little value unless they are utilized. Even if they are not used for their original intent (i.e., clothespin keeps the potato chip back closed), their usage translates into some kind of value. The tools that stay hidden in the deep recesses of cabinets and drawers may perhaps be awaiting their 'time,' but their value is considerably lessened. Thinking about the tools of learning and their value - which ones are used as designed, which ones are used but not as designed, and which ones are hiding away and not used? Does their value match up? Naples, FL
Participants in a learning event held on June 4, 2014 had the opportunity to learn more about the experiences of Opportunity International (Ghana), Habitat for Humanity (India), and the Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance (Afghanistan) in the development and implementation of housing microfinance initiatives.
In 2009, USAID awarded three new Implementation Grant Programs (IGPs) to promote housing microfinance for poor households. The grantees have been testing different models of financing and assisting housing improvements and micro-mortgages. The objective of these IGPs is to allow grantees to develop and implement viable business models and roll out products to a greater number of clients, and to document and share their learning with the program and the industry. Such approaches aim to support improved standards of living as well as asset creation for poor households, while being commercially viable for microfinance institutions.
The SEEP Network has been facilitating a learning network that ensures high quality outcomes with respect to the learning processes of the grantees along with the creation of highly relevant learning products for wide-scale dissemination. The learning network advances the learning agenda for the Housing MF IGP network and the industry at large.
