Fighting and displacement continue in eastern Congo, but increasingly alongside this we are setting up development projects in the more peaceful areas. One of our major concerns in such projects is whether we will be able to get the participation of the villagers. The UNICEF management team were therefore very curious to visit our water and sanitation project in Lukananda. Lukananda is a village in the health zone Nyangezi about forty minutes from Bukavu the capital of South Kivu. During the years of fighting the village had never been attacked and the inhabitants had never been displaced. UNICEF had done the project with the BDD the development organization of the diocese and the health department. The project was to build a pipe water system for three villages and improve the sanitation of the village. Sanitation was improved by building: more hygienic latrines with concrete slabs, pig pens to keep animal faeces out of the village and spreading health messages on the importance of cleanliness.
UNICEF provided the materials for the construction of the piped water system and the fountains the villagers provided the land and the labour. For the sanitation project we trained the health department facilitators and provided materials for the latrine slabs.

Leadership Development Program Online – The Benefits
When you hire a new supervisor, it is important to review the benefits of having them complete a leadership development program online, such as 14 Vital Supervision Skills. These programs allow new supervisors to have the convenience of completing the training at their own pace—within reason, of course. Supervisors will also have the opportunity to review the training modules any time they need a reminder on the finer points of management, or they can refer to it if they are not sure how to handle a particular situation. An extensive training program will also help your supervisors be more productive right from the beginning.
It is hard to retain information when you feel rushed, but supervisors who complete a Leadership Training Development Programs Online or Website can do so at their own speed. However, time is of the essence in any business, and that is why each training module in the 14 Vital Supervision Skills program is presented in about six to eight minutes. The modules are intense and focus on the most important elements of being a supervisor. This program stands out above all the rest because it delivers the most effective training in the shortest amount of time, so companies will save money on training costs in the long run.
Information overload is not an uncommon affliction of new employees, and new supervisors are no exception. There is a great deal of information to retain from a Leadership Training Programs Online or Website, and fortunately, the 14 Vital Supervision Skills program makes it easy for supervisors to review the training modules anytime as long as you have uploaded them to your website. It is also difficult to cover every possible situation that could come up during training, so supervisors can also use the modules as a reference if a tough problem comes up. Even if the specific issue is not addressed, supervisors can still easily get advice on how to handle a similar problem.
An effective leadership development program online will help your supervisors be more productive right from the time they step into their new position, too. The more productive your supervisors are, the more effective your employees will be. This is why the 14 Vital Supervision Skills program is so beneficial to training regimens everywhere. Our product presents the right information in the format you need to keep things running smoothly during your new supervisor’s transition into their new job. When you need to present employees with the best information available online, on DVD, or via PowerPoint presentation, think of 14 Vital Supervision Skills!
A shot of an Applieddata.net BitsyXB development system that we've been tinkering with. It comes armed with a XScale processor (no pun intended) and our particular system boots Linux -- in this case its running Debian unstable off a USB attached hard drive.
Check out our blog post about it (or, tangentally about it).

Recent announcements by President Obama while travelling in Africa signal a paradigm shift in U.S.-Africa engagement, with greater priority given to economic growth, trade and investment, and new forms of partnership with a “continent that is on the move.” The president announced a new U.S. initiative while in Tanzania—“Power Africa”—targeting increased access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable power in Africa. The president’s announcement offers an opportunity to tackle a long-standing barrier to development and growth in Africa, as well as a major stumbling block for potential U.S. investors.
Please join CSIS for a discussion of the likely impact of the president’s trip in boosting private-sector engagement in Africa, the parameters and potential of the Power Africa initiative, and critical next steps by the administration, Congress, private-sector players, and African governments to maximize its impact. The panel will offer its views on the opportunity for the private and public sectors to coordinate their strategies and leverage their strength to achieve measurable growth in power accessibility in Africa.
This event is part of CSIS’s ongoing “Chevron Forum on Development” series, which seeks to highlight innovative approaches to global development.
This should be a timely and informative discussion.

We stopped at Isangi for the night. As is usual in such parts I stayed at the Procure, the priests keep clean simple rooms for passers by. The quietness and simplicity gives one the time to reflect. As we were leaving I walked around, this tractor was next to an outhouse, the Saint Christopher welded to the bonnet.

To get to Basoko it was two days down river in a pirogue with an outboard motor. A second pirogue was strapped to the side to carry the teams motorcycles. Most of the roads are so overgrown and damaged that even four wheel drive jeeps cannot get through.
The end of the original station revealed for the first time since the now demolished toilet block was built. Shortly it will again disappear behind the new development.

SERIES NOTE:
In some ways I'm unlucky to work at a university out in the new development zone of Lushun, a city 40 minutes along the coast from Dalian. It means I have to get on a bus at 7 am every morning when my friends who work in Dalian are still sound asleep. In other ways I'm lucky. As the city is still a military base closed to casual foreign visitors, I'm one of the few who has first hand experience of it. With a new factory appearing every week and more universities scheduled to arrive in a few months, it's surely only a matter of time before the restrictions are lifted. In preparation for that, the area is recieving an enormous facelift and infrastructure cash injection. A new garden city covering 50 square kilometers is appearing before my eyes. What was waste ground is now a steel shed full of griding machinery. What was a field is now a row of empty apartments. What were formerly empty apartments are now filled with neon lights, barber's poles, bakeries, DVD shops, food stalls... The sense of expectancy and optimism is palpable, yet there is nothing particularly special about this development zone. There are hundreds just like it all across China. Is this what it felt like in the UK just after World War Two as enormous council estates and new towns blossomed ? These days these rural utopias are by and large wastelands of unemployment and social exclusion. What will become of these similar places here in China should the Communist Party's economic growth success story come off the rails is anyone's guess. So while I wouldn't trade living in Dalian city proper for being permanantly stuck out here, I'm glad to be working out here, bearing witness to a new city unfolding.
At the Community Activity Center on Camp Casey May 29, civilians and Soldiers of the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I attend a professional development session geared especially to those in leadership positions. The audience of 145 leaders heard briefings on a range of topics that included customer service, mentoring subordinates, administrative and maintenance matters, and leadership itself. Speakers included Col. John M. Scott, Commander, USAG Red Cloud and Area I, and other garrison officials. The afternoon was capped by an indoor supper of hot dogs and hamburgers.

In a community noted for its ability to partner and collaborate, the three major entities responsible for the cleanup of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) have established a new standard for cooperation.
DOE and its new environmental management contractor, URS | CH2M Oak Ridge LLC (UCOR), in conjunction with the Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee (CROET) have signed a partnering agreement to define each organization’s roles and responsibilities in accelerating the private development of the site now known as the Heritage Center at ETTP.
