The high-level event “Empowering Women in Development: Challenges Beyond 2015” took place in Vilnius on October 8-10. Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Development Cooperation and the Eastern Europe Studies Center in partnership with the Community of Democracies Working Group on Women and Democracy, the event brought together leading figures from governments and civil society, including the President of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaitė.
The Secretary General of the Community of Democracies, Ambassador Maria Leissner, participated in the event as a panelist in a panel titled “Women’s Leadership for Democratic Development”. Secretary General Leissner also held a series of advisory meetings with four delegates attending through the Community’s LEND Network, all of whom are involved in promoting women’s political participation in Moldova and Tunisia. One of them, Olga Melniciuc, economic adviser to the Prime Minister’s Economic Council in Moldova, spoke on a conference panel, “Women’s Economic Empowerment: Overcoming Barriers.”

Originally revealed in 2021 and made up of three distinct areas centered on the intersection of N. LaSalle Street and W. North Avenue, developer Fern Hill has offered updated plans. Fern Hill has tapped architect David Adjaye and local firm GREC Architects to work on its design, though those plans have yet to be made public.
The wedge-shaped block anchored by the historic Moody Church Auditorium and flanked by two gas stations will become the cultural heart of the development. The gas stations (Shell at 130 W. North Ave. and BP at 1674 N. LaSalle Dr.) would be removed and replaced with new commercial structures, which won’t rise taller than the auditorium to preserve the neighborhood context.
NOTE: Developer Fern Hill announced plans in September 2023 for a new, 395-foot, 500-unit tower at the northwest corner of W. North Avenue and N. LaSalle Drive, which is currently a surface parking lot. It will be designed by architects GREC, a Chicago-based firm that took over after architect David Adjaye stepped away from the project amid sexual misconduct accusations at his firm. The building will have two ground-floor retail shops, including Walgreens, which will remain but be redeveloped with a modern design and smaller footprint. Rather than the opaque brick facade that currently exists along North Avenue, the store would have glass windows, and the height would also be scaled down to be in line with the buildings to the north and south. Other proposed changes include the expansion of Moody Church’s campus on the lots that currently house the BP and Shell gas stations, as well as an overhaul of the former Treasure Island on N. LaSalle Street. Moody’s expansion would include a new chapel and new buildings for its administrative offices and educational spaces.

More than 300 policymakers, researchers and development practitioners attended the 2018 Development and Climate (D&C) Days event in Katowice, Poland, on 8-9 December 2018 to debate issues at the interface between development and climate change.
The event, held alongside the 2018 UN climate talks, had the theme 'Global ambition. Local action. Climate resilience for all'.
Illustrator Jorge Martin produced this giant illustration which captures key points from the discussions and debates.
At the end of the two-day event, participants agreed key messages that will be shared with targeted audiences during future UN climate negotiations and at other international forums.

“I am happy when I do something voluntarily. I want to help every single person if possible,” says Nilab.
“Doing something voluntarily keeps you down to earth and doesn’t give you an ego.” She adds.
Volunteerism is also an important vehicle for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development explicitly recognises volunteer groups as stakeholders to achieve the 17 SDGs.
Many of the SDGs call for long-term attitude and behavior changes - for example, in the way we live together or in the way we consume. Volunteers facilitate change in mindsets by raising awareness and inspiring others.
“My ambition is big, as big as the SDGs,” says Shugofa Ayub, a project officer UNV working on the SDGs. “Through our work as volunteers, I believe we can achieve it.”
104 UN Volunteers contribute to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Afghanistan. This include 20 National and 83 internationals. A total of 43 UNVs in UNDP, 1 in UNICEF, 1 with UNWOMEN, 68 with UN Mission, 1 UNFPA, and 1 with the World Bank.

STORY:
Imagine a situation where just going to school puts your life at risk.
Under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, this was the situation for Nilab Aria and many others. In second grade, she had to be homeschooled by her mother. Nilab had been forced to wear a burqa since she was eight years old.
Today, Nilab is a United Nations Volunteer. Her passion for education and professionalism started back then.
Hidden from sight, and from the Taliban, she took short courses in English and Science in a basement, where she studied by a candlelight. As an additional precaution, the students were forced to pretend that that they were taking Islamic studies, the only studies permitted under the Taliban regime.
One day, however, someone informed the Taliban, and the underground classes were closed for a time. The Taliban threated death for anyone who attempted to attend any classes.
My hero, my inspiration:
Recently, another difficult period in Nilab’s life. She lost her father. “Knowing that my father is no longer with us is the worst memory of my life. He was my hero and my inspiration.”
Her father died of a heart attack when he was in their hometown in Nijrab district of Kapisa province, helping his fellow villagers build clean water systems.
Nilab is the eldest sibling in her family. She has one brother and five sisters. After their loss, she is the sole breadwinner in the family.
“Right before he died, he called us and asked each of us one by one what he should bring us from our village.” She inherited her spirit of helping people from her father.
During the 1960s, when most people were highly conservative and had no interest on education, her father was the first man in town to put her aunts and other family members through school.
It was a common tradition in their family that a girl is married as soon as she reaches the final classes of school but her father was different. He wanted her first to achieve her dreams and be able to stand on her own feet.
Unwavering Spirit for volunteerism:
While Nilab was pursuing her undergraduate studies, she also worked with a local NGO that works to end violence against women and sexual harassment. She worked during the day and attended university in the evening.
She has been volunteering since her school days. She did not think so much of the money she would earn, because her goal was to learn as much as she could and help to bring positive change and peace in Afghanistan.
In Sept 2017, she was successfully selected as an intern for UNDP. Her internship was later extended and she applied for a UNV post as Finance Associate with the elections project, UNESP.
UN Volunteers are highly motivated, qualified individuals, committed to the principles and ideals of the United Nations. They complement and strengthen the work of UN entities, public institutions and civil society organizations.
“As a UN Volunteer, you are not only contributing to peace and development, but also helping, caring, meeting new people, and there is an exchange of cultural values” says Nilab.
Today, International Volunteers Day 2018 focuses on the values of volunteerism through the appreciation of local volunteers, including marginalized groups and women, who make up nearly 60 per cent of volunteers worldwide, and their impact on building Resilient Communities.
“I am happy when I do something voluntarily. I want to help every single person if possible,” says Nilab.
“Doing something voluntarily keeps you down to earth and doesn’t give you an ego.” She adds.
Volunteerism is also an important vehicle for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development explicitly recognises volunteer groups as stakeholders to achieve the 17 SDGs.

GDF will feature keynote addresses by The Honorable Ander Crenshaw, U.S. Representative, R-FL; and Dr. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Managing Director of the World Bank Group. Breakout panel discussions will foster dialogue on topics including private sector partnerships, capacity building and workforce development, innovative finance, the post-2015 global development agenda, Ebola recovery in West Africa, and the strategic role of development in overall U.S. foreign policy. GDF will feature over 40 speakers, including key stakeholders from U.S. government agencies, leading multilateral and non-governmental organizations, foreign governments, and the private sector.
With a significant reduction in extreme poverty and an increase in private financial flows to the developing world over the past two decades, the face of development is rapidly changing. Meeting today’s challenges calls for innovation and effective partnerships across sectors, with an emphasis on improving governance and leveraging the role of the private sector.
The 2015 Global Development Forum will be held on Thursday, April 23, from 8:00AM – 3:45PM at the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ headquarters.

"My name is Susan Kigula from Victoria women`s prison, in Uganda. My imprisonment has been a blessing in disguise because that’s where I studied and sat for my A level examinations and now I am studying for Diploma in Common Law with the University of London. I would like to extend my endless thanks to APP without which I wouldn’t have accessed the University of London Law Programme. On this International Women`s Day, I wish to appeal to all women organizations around the world to support women in prison especially those who still have plans to continue with their education like APP is doing."
