Farmers were trained and hired to apply the Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT). The ILO AusAid emergency employment programme used SALT to rebuild farming communities after Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong). SALT helps increase productivity and prevents floods or damages to crops. The ILO hopes to replicate this programme in areas hard hit by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). Find out more: www.ilo.org/yolanda

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 EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s 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 ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ 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 society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s 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 Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.
Title page from the theatre programme for a production of "The Gondoliers" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in November / December 1921.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "The Gondoliers" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (and a Saturday matinee) from Monday 28th November to Saturday 3rd December 1921. The comic opera was written by William S. Gilbert with music by Arthur Sullivan. The KAODS production was produced by Avalon Collard, with musical director Jos. Harker.
The story is set in 1750, in the canal-riddled city of Venice and the Palace of Barataria. Two Gondoliers - brothers Marco and Guiseppe Palmieri (played by Arthur E. Ramsden and Watson M. Walker) - are to select brides from the gathered peasant girls. They settle upon Gianetta (Edith Robson) and Tessa (Mabel Rothera) but the wedding celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza Toro (Ernest Marsden and Marion Holmes) with their daughter Casilda (Agnes Battle). As an infant, Casilda was married by proxy to the heir of the King of Barataria, but then, for political reasons, that heir was hidden away and was raised by a Gondolier - and it is believed that either Marco or Guiseppe is that heir! While the heir's original nurse, who could identify the true heir, is sent for, the two brothers are removed to the Palace where they reign jointly. Their new wives are left behind and Casilda is left waiting to discover which is her betrothed. The nurse finally arrives and it turns out that the heir is actually the Duke and Duchess' servant Luiz (John Pickles), the secret lover of Casilda, and so everyone can be reunited with their true loves.
The show also starred W. Bruce Johnston, Sidney Calvert, Alan Petty, Harry Binns, Charles H. Dewhirst, Hilda Smith, Kitty Connolly, Cissie Jowett and Walter Bannister.
The Keighley News of Saturday 3rd December 1921 reviewed the production: "Mr. Johnston and Mr. Marsden are sufficiently versatile to adequately fill almost any roles in comic opera or musical comedy, and when we say that they are successful as Don Alahambra and The Duke of Plaza-Toro respectively we can pay them no higher compliment. Both fully appreciate the subtleties of the Gilbertian humour, whether in song or dialogue, and avoid temptation to exaggerate what is almost wholly the mirth-provoking part of the opera. Moreover, they deliver their lines clearly - a remark which applies to the cast generally... Mr. J. Harker - who, by the way, played Lunz in the 1908 presentation - handles his forces quite smartly as the hon. musical director, and the tasteful work of the orchestra adds considerably to the success of the performance. The restraint shown in their work is distinctly commendable. The dressing and staging of the opera leaves nothing to be desired."
The Society had already performed "The Gondoliers" in 1908, and would to do so again, thirty years later, in 1951.

Programme/ticket for the open day at Haymarket depot in Edinburgh in 1985. I remember being their on the Saturday with the shuttle train to the depot being a 47/7 push pull set. The other train used was 150001 Sprinter DMU. Saw every thing bar the 50 coming on shed from the railtour. Dunno how I missed that. Also seem to remember a thundery downpour at some point in the afternoon. Maybe that's when I missed it as I would have been inside out the rain. Note the numbers on the programmes too. 4488 and 08730. Locos from Haymarket.

The UN-NYG Mentoring Programme is a project initiated by the UN-NYG and led by Ms Amelia Lee Zhi Yi, the UN-NYG Mentoring Coordinator. The programme is implemented with support from the IAEA Office of the Deputy Director General, Ms Mary Alice Hayward, Head of the Department of Management.
The key vision of the mentoring programme is to act as a platform for IAEA staff to strengthen their professional skills at the workplace and improve networking capacity through the cultivation of cross departmental and generational relationships.
The goals of the Mentoring Programme are to:
1. Strengthen staff resources through mutual learning experiences for mentors and mentees, to nurture high performance leaders with the capacity to “give back” at the workplace
2.Develop self-sustaining professional relationships between mentors and mentees that narrow the gap between different departments and age groups at the IAEA

Children across Greater Manchester have watched a compelling play warning them about criminal exploitation from county lines organised crime groups.
Greater Manchester’s Programme Challenger – a joint partnership to tackle serious and organised crime together – funded Rochdale-based theatre company Breaking Barriers to deliver the series ‘Crossing the Line’ to children in year six at 50 primary schools.
Over a month the play was rolled out to schools in Bury, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford for children to learn how to spot the signs of exploitation to prevent and protect them from criminal gangs seeking to recruit them as drug mules.
The production explores grooming through a monologue from an 18-year-old man and his younger brother aged 15. He talks about the criminal gang members trying to give him gifts in return for running their drug errands.
‘Crossing the Line’ also incorporated discussions with the children to teach them about healthy choices and relationships, learning to say no, how to handle pressure from older people as well as educate children on where to go for help and advice if they have concerns.
One of the pupils who watched the play said: “The play has helped me see how criminal gangs can manipulate you by trying to make you feel special and part of their family, then force you to do things for them.
“It has taught me to never join a gang as it could harm your future and instead to stay in school, get a good education and job.
“If someone finds themselves in this situation, they should speak to anyone they can trust, such as their mum or dad, a teacher, the police or even Childline.”
A county line is the advertisement of class A drugs via a mobile phone, known as a ‘graft line’, the drugs are then moved by dealers from one area to another as well as to other places across the country.
The organised crime groups will often exploit children to transport the drugs and money profited from its supply.
Detective Chief Inspector Claire McGuire, from Programme Challenger’s Organised Crime Coordination Unit, said: “Young and vulnerable children are sadly targeted and groomed by county lines criminal networks to be recruited to travel across the country to deliver drugs and money.
“They can find themselves in situations that often seem impossible to get out of which can have a detrimental impact on their life and their future.
It’s therefore imperative we intervene as soon as possible, inform children early on to prevent this from happening and protect them from the harm caused by organised criminality.
“Breaking Barriers work is a creative way to grab a child’s attention, it educates and engages with them on the signs to look out for and where to turn to for help and advice. The feedback we have had from them, and the teachers has been brilliant.”
Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Fire, Bev Hughes, said: “We must educate children early on the signs of criminal exploitation and this work is vital in doing that.
It’s great to see such a creative play being used to deliver an important message and schools have been a wonderful support with this.
Lots of young people across Greater Manchester are now more aware of the signs of criminal exploitation and know help and support is available to them.”
Parvez Qadir, Director of Breaking Barriers, said: “Crossing the Line tackles difficult themes around grooming and exploitation used by criminal gangs to control young people to travel their drugs for them. Using the power of creativity,
I wrote the piece to tour in schools to educate, inform and offer safe pathways for young people out of child criminal exploitation.
“The facilitated workshop is a safe place for difficult questions for young people, teachers and parents to discuss those
themes.
I hope “Crossing the Line” can educate young people to make safe and healthier choices.”
The Civil Society Programme took place from Thursday 14 May through Friday 15 May. The Programme in 2015 introduced a new approach to the flagship event of the EBRD engagement with civil society.
For the first time, CSOs had the chance to shape the Civil Society Programme through a social media consultation. In addition, CSOs were invited to submit proposals for the organisation of discussion panels dedicated to issues of specific interest to the Caucasus region and stakeholders in the EBRD.
