The fourth meeting of the Advisory Committee took place from 1-3 March 2023 and served as an opportunity to shape the PDD’s next phase, post-2023 and elaborate input to the strategy review process.
The meeting allowed participants to exchange and share their latest work and ongoing or planned initiatives around the topic of disaster displacement. Above all, it provided the opportunity to plan future collaborative engagement and formulate strategic advice for the PDD’s next steps.

Returning IDPs came back with the property they could take, usually furniture, kitchen materials. Unless they are provided with shelter that protects against rain, their property will be destroyed with rain.

Here's a measurement from the other end of the wall. The bowing matches the other side-- 3 1/2". Look familiar? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/

The Crew Foreman was so impressed with the results of this straightening that he took a pix and emailed this from the site to the homeowner! What a difference! Like what you see? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/

The Phase Displacement Space Drive uses two transmitter antennas, phased 0° and 90°, and space-apart (nλ+ λ/4), producing attraction force, mediated by EM waves, between space and antenna at one extremity, and repulsion force at another extremity, generating net thrust force in an energy-efficient way.
It is comprised by two transmitter antennas (A and B, left and right), spaced quarter wavelength apart (nλ+ λ/4), each emitting respectively 0° and 90° phase-shifted waves. Starting from A, wave will face B with same-polarity (in-phase 0°), always repulsion force. On the other hand, starting from B, wave will face A with opposite-polarity (contra-phase 180°), always attraction force. Hence, the set of antennas will be displaced from left to right. Action-reaction will occur between the antennas and phase-shifted waves, and transversely between phase-shifted waves and the surrounding medium.
The impedance between antennas is high; hence higher RF voltage is required to convert electric power into thrust force.

Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.
