25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRDâs traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil societyâs contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a âreputational actorâ performing a âwatchdogâ function and as a generator of âsocial capitalâ necessary to sustain the chan

Ashraf Ali Gazi is a farmer living in the district of Khulna in south-western Bangladesh, and the sole provider of his family. In 2009, Cyclone Aila struck the coastal regions of Bangladesh, leaving behind a trail of ruin and damage. The tidal surges of the cyclone flooded all his cropland, while the saline water stagnation laid waste to his rice fields. He was given a grant to cultivate hybrid sunflowers to sustain his income.

This is a photograph from the Leinster Cross Country Championships which was held at Moyvalley Hotel and Golf Estate at Balyna Estate, Moyvalley, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 25th October 2015 begining at 11:00 until the final race at 14:20. The programme for today included Boys and Girls even ages, Junior male and female, Novice male and female and Masters male and female. The races were run on a superb course beside the Moyvalley hotel where the vast acres of prime farmland provided a large space to have a fair but challenging course on good firm ground.
The Leinster event was hosted by local club Na Fianna from Co. Meath. However the venue was actually just inside Co. Kildare in a part of the county where Meath and Kildare borders intersect several times along the route of the old N4/N6 road. The luxury Moyvalley Hotel & Golf resort is set amidst 550 acres of historic Kildare countryside and is easily accessed from the M6/M4 at Enfield or Kinnegad.
Results can be found at MyRunResults.com and their website www.myrunresults.com/results.html
Balyna Estate where the races were held can trace its history back to the 1500s. More recently the estate was owned by the Bewley Family of the Bewley Cafe fame. The hotel and resort were taken over by new management in 2014 who are implementing big plans to expand Moyvalley further.
Our full collection of photographs from the races today are available on Flickr at this set www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157659898745159

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Once again our summer programme was oversubscribed with long waiting lists for some of the more popular trips and activities. A great bonus for us this year was our successful PAYP Open Access application secured in March, alongside our targeted South Liverpool Housing bid enabling us to reach far greater numbers.
To-date this year YouthPoint has :
• registered 116 young people from Speke/Garston (61 new registrations)
• delivered 271 hours of activities (45.16 hours average per week)
• accompanied 41 young people on a 3 night residential holiday in Blackpool
• secured £12,500 to spend on additional staff, activities, trips and residentials.
• delivered 150 volunteer hours through our peer mentoring scheme
Whilst our main aim was to make the summer as much fun as possible the Every Child Matters, five outomes for children continued to be key to our delivery.
Bullying is always high on our list of priorities during the summer as many of our young people are worried about going into their new schools in September. A series of informal discussion groups were held with staff where participants could talk about issues of concern including personal safety, relationships, bullying, drinking and substance misuse.
Residentials, day trips and a range of activities designed to overcome fears, stretch imagination, introduce new ideas and build on existing skills enabled the group to grow in confidence week by week. Activities included dance lessons, watersports, ice skating and arts & crafts sessions.
We provided regular access to a range of activities aimed at improving fitness levels, diet and lifestyle. The 'Sport for All' programme was well attended and this year we managed to limit time spent playing football to devote more time trying out new sports. With the help of Linda Mooney (South Liverpool Active City Co-ordinator) we enjoyed handball coaching and attended the city games. Four of them successfully represented the region in Manchester on August 21st.
Through our 'You are what you eat' programme, the group learned about how the food they eat affects their bodies. Armed with their knowledge of 'healthy eating' they were able to prepare food (including fruit smoothies) for the celebration at the village hall.

Old (2006) indicative wireframes I was asked to draw up to sell the idea of programme pages within BBC New Media. Very much on the back of the work of Tom Coates in R&Mi, the PiPs team, and the early iMP and iPlayer teams.
They were blue-sky - so there are commercial links in some of them, which wouldn't be possible. They were more to get people thinking about what might be possible.
Drawn in felt pen on layout paper at about 4 in the morning, then scanned in in chunks and reassembled in photoshop, because I didn't have any kind of drawing software on my PC.
Putting them up for... dunno, nostalgia, really. It'll be interesting to see how much of the stuff we talked about back then turns up over the next few years.

Page from the theatre programme for a production of "The Geisha" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in September 1919. This page includes a cast and credits list.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "The Geisha" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights from Monday 22nd September to Saturday 27th September 1919. The Japanese musical comedy was written by Owen Hall with music by Sidney Jones. The KAODS production was produced by Edwin Bryan, with musical director Joseph Harker.
This was only the second production staged by the Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, following their debut with "Haddon Hall" in 1914. The outbreak of the First World War meant further productions were put on hold for over five years.
The story is set in a Japanese Tea House run by Chinaman Wun-Hi (played by Ernest Marsden). A troupe of Geisha are attached to the Tea House, including the celebrated O Mimosa San (Mabel Rothera). A party of English sailors from H. M. S. 'The Turtle' and English ladies from the yacht of Lady Constance Wynne (Gladys Broster) visit the Tea House. Officer Reginald Fairfax (Harry Shackleton) falls for the charms of Mimosa, despite being engaged to Molly Seamore (Ethel Bird). But Provincial Governor Marquis Imari (W. Bruce Johnston) also has his heart set on Mimosa and threatens to close down the Tea House and auction off the geisha. When this is carried out Lady Constance wins the bidding for Mimosa but Molly has disguised herself as a geisha and ends up being bought by the Marquis. Later at the Marquis' Palace, his wedding to Molly is about to take place when Lady Constance, Reginald and others from the English party arrive and set about sorting out the confusion. Reginald and Molly are reunited, the Marquis ends up with Tea House interpreter Juliette (Annie Battle), and Mimosa ends up with her intended, Captain Katana (Arthur G. Ramsden).
The show also starred Mary Stell, Marion Holmes, Maud Holmes, Agnes Battle, Doris Capper, Annie Watson, Nancy Wilkinson, Florence McDonnell, J. Louis Midgley, Harry Ambler, Dick Bird, Norah B. Holmes, and Frank Shuttleworth.
The Keighley News of Saturday 27th September 1919 reviewed the production: "A word of commendation is due to the members of the Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society on the way in which they took in hand the task of reorganising their affairs and on the thoroughness with which the work was done to enable 'The Geisha' to be presented at the Keighley Hippodrome this week... The selection of 'The Geisha' proved a happy one. Light and catchy music, opportunities for dainty and vivacious acting by the ladies, and a breezy, nautical touch - all in keeping with present-day demand - are the characteristics of this popular comic opera."
"Evidence of excellent support was forthcoming immediately the booking of seats commenced, and it was obvious at an early date that the financial success of the affair was assured. It was therefore with extreme gratification that the committee were able to announce at the close of Monday night's performance that they had achieved a first night record and that in view of the initial success a performance would be given the Saturday afternoon in addition to those announced for each evening of the week."
The 40-page programme was printed by Wadsworth & Co. of Russell Street, Keighley. It measures approximately 195mm by 125mm. The programme was part of an anonymous donation given in 2022.

In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil societyâs contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a âreputational actorâ performing a âwatchdogâ function and as a generator of âsocial capitalâ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil societyâs input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRDâs traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bankâs establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Pansori is Korean musical drama which delivers myths that have been passed on orally – with no musical notation, pansori is limitless and exciting, combining passion and humour.
One of the greatest of all pansori singers, Ahn Sook-Sun, was the first Korean artist to play the Edinburgh International Festival, and has also played Womad. She made a very rare appearance in London with a musical ensemble for this special programme which featured Heungboga, one of the five great works of the pansori tradition, and also includes music for gayageum (a 12-string plucked instrument rather like the koto or zheng) and geomungo.
The last song of the performance was Arirang. The audience sang along to it and requested an encore. Ahn Sook-Sun sang two more pieces and moved everyone through her unique voice. When the concert ended, people had the chance to meet Ahn Sook-Sun and the other performers and take photos.

The Festival takes place between 14th June -21st June 2013 and sees traditional, orchestral, contemporary and collaborative music performed by some of Korea's most talented musicians at venues across London.
Throughout the 20th century, global water use has increased in the agricultural, domestic and industrial sectors. Evaporation from reservoirs has increased at a slower rate. Projections indicate that both global water use and evaporation will continue to increase.
