My 'work' is very diversified. For real work, I do most of the paperwork for my husbands and I's business. I enjoy being involved, and helping out.
For fun work, I am a tinkerer, photographer, painter...anything I can use my creativity on, I will try! This week I was making a tufted bench for our bedroom.

The project "Strengthening the climate resilience of rural communities and ecosystems in southern Ahuachapán" is implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) with the technical support of UNDP and funding from the Adaptation Fund in San Francisco Menéndez, Guaymango, Jujutla, San Pedro Puxtla and Tacuba, with the aim of reducing the vulnerability of communities and productive ecosystems, through an ecosystem intervention focused on the restoration of critical landscapes and the promotion of climate-resilient and economically viable productive alternatives.
The Environmental Investment Fund of El Salvador (FIAES), under the coordination of the MARN, works with local communities and associations to develop plans that establish key areas for restoration, sustainable productive use and water management.
As part of the Project, 3,865 hectares of forest landscape will be restored, through community plans that include silvopastoral practices, riverside forests, mangrove forests, agroforestry systems in basic beans, coffee and cocoa.

Bayshore Solutions was a Nominee for the 2009 Governor’s Business Diversification Awards, a statewide program that recognizes Florida companies emerging and high-technology industries for their contributions to Florida’s economic growth annually during Industry Appreciation Week.
The CGIAR Research Initiative on the Diversification in East and Southern Africa, better known as Ukama Ustawi, hosted a "Ukama Ustawi Pause and Reflect Workshop" 5-9 Feb 2024 at ILRI's Campus in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The workshop brought together the Initiative's regional partners, other CGIAR Initiatives, and CGIAR country convenors to discus this Initiative's 2023 work and to refine its workplans for 2024. Interactive sessions fostered collaboration across the Initiative's 6 work packages, as well as with our partners and the CGIAR community working for smallholder farmers in the region (photo credit: ILRI / Ukama Ustawi / Susan MacMillan)
While the importance of state in shaping organizations is well accepted, the mechanisms through which it affects firms have been narrowly defined. Drawing on the insights from political sociology, this paper proposes a new mechanism: the state shapes corporate strategy through its bureaucratic processes of achieving its formal agenda. The state designs long-term career path that structures government officials’ political incentives and possesses bureaucratic capability to engage in institutionalized interaction with business actors through the predictable tenure system and political incorporation of business actors. I test this framework in the context of Chinese publicly listed firms’ diversification from 2001 to 2009. Empirical findings support that due to state’s concern for social stability, firms diversify into unrelated industries to absorb laid-off workers from bankrupted state-owned enterprises. Significant difference in corporate diversification can be explained by the career stage of provincial government officials, congress years (when promotion news is announced), sensitivity of the province to social stability (e.g., minority-dominated provinces), officials’ tenure in current position and political incorporation of private business leaders. This study contributes to organization theory and strategy by delineating a new mechanism through which the state affects corporations. It opens the black box of the state by delving into the bureaucratic processes of the state and highlighting the role of agency. It also provides a political explanation for corporate diversification strategy in the context of an emerging economy.

Organised by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, Life-Links, Kuehne Climate Center, IRF, Oris Materials Intelligence, and the Asian Transport Observatory, this session explores how to improve the resilience and connectivity of international logistics networks disrupted by global shocks. Panel 1, moderated by Emiko Araki (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism), features Sakiko Hirokane (Logistics and Road Transportation), Yaroslav Kholodov (ITF), Miyoung Kim (Toyota Tsusho Corporation), Kazuhito Yoda (Nissin Corporation), and Aleksandra Suladze (Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia). They discuss diversifying freight routes between Europe and Northeast Asia through Central and Southeast Asia, addressing challenges like transportation costs, lead times, and procedures. Panel 2, moderated by Sophie Punte (Life-Links), features Gonzalo Alcaraz (International Road Federation), Mark Major (Kuehne Climate Center), Jamie Leather (Asian Development Bank), Nicolas Miravalls (Oris Materials Intelligence), Susanna Zammataro (FIDIC), Andrea San Gil Léon (Global Network for Popular Transport), and Warwick Townsend (Alstom). This panel discusses the resilience of existing supply chains and corridors, focusing on KPIs that support policy, investment, and empower local communities and transport providers, particularly in the Global South. This session explores how lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic guide the development of resilient transport systems that prevent the spread of future infectious diseases. Speakers Bertrand de Lacombe (Airbus), Billy Hann (Dublin Bus), François Davenne (UIC), Sonal Shah (Urban Catalysts), and Tomas Serebrisky (IDB) discuss the implementation of better detection mechanisms, buffer zones at critical infrastructure points, and preparedness strategies, including contingency plans, communication frameworks, and international collaboration. They also explore the role of digital technologies in enhancing safety and flexibility for both workers and passengers. The session takes place during the International Transport Forum’s 2025 Summit “Transport Resilience to Global Shocks” held on 21 May 2025 in Leipzig, Germany.
Premier Danielle Smith addressed attendees at the Resource Diversification Council reception in Edmonton on Monday, November 27, 2023.
The Resource Diversification Council is a non-profit association compromised of industry (Dow, Inter Pipeline, Keyera, NOVA Chemicals, Nutrien, Pembina), post-secondary (NAIT), and labour (Construction Labour Relations Alberta) leaders who share a mutual interest in advancing Alberta’s resource value added sector. Currently, the group is focused on advancing decarbonization policies, enhancing workforce development, and incremental improvements to APIP to ensure Alberta is the number one jurisdiction for our members to invest in.

With support from USAID through NHPplus, Tharaka Nithi Green Gold CBO has diversified the activities of its members beyond making of handicrafts to value addition to a wide range of local foods and tree products. TGG has been recognized for its efforts to promote locally available foods through training, exhibitions and other outreach events.
USAID’s Kenya Nutrition and Health program Plus (NHPplus) works with local partners to implement community interventions to improve nutrition and food security for households. In Tharaka Nithi County, NHPplus has partnered with a community-based organization, Tharaka Nithi Green Gold (TGG), to train members of self-help groups to integrate nutrition education into their livelihood activities. The CBO is a consortium of eight community groups with over 160 members, 122 of them women. With NHPplus support, the CBO members promote technologies to improve access and consumption of diversified diets. For instance, the group has promoted adoption of vertical bags. The technology is particularly useful in areas where water is scarce, like vast areas of Tharaka Nithi County, one of five counties, also supported by Feed the Future, where NHPplus is implementing agrinutrition interventions with support from USAID. By September 2018, TGG members have established 127 vertical gardens using bags provided by the project for demonstration. Due to growing demand, the CBO has started making its own bags for sale to members and other community members.
Besides the vertical bags and other bio-intensive gardening techniques, TGG members have also been trained on rearing of small livestock such as chickens and rabbits, and value addition of farm produce to improve availability of food for families across seasons and for income.
Tharaka Nithi Green Gold is now passing on the knowledge and skills learnt through support from USAID NHPplus to other community groups from the county and beyond.
