The idea of placing solar panels along the highway is not new, but should be implemented more. Or do you live somewhere with many solar panels along the road ? /

A number of development projects implemented in the hinterlands of Afghanistan’s central Bamyan province – with support from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and handed over to the local community recently – have directly benefitted some 2,400 people, most of them returnees from Iran or Pakistan. Shown here, local government officials and UN representatives participate in a hand-over ceremony for the completed projects in Koprook village. The projects include a bridge, health clinics, a small hydro-electric plant and a dam. “The completion of these projects have helped us a lot, they are very useful, especially the bridge and the road construction project, because before we used to take a longer route to get to the provincial capital,” said a community elder from Koprook village, Syed Ismael. “In a medical emergency situation, it was very difficult for us.” In the past decade, some 5.7 million Afghan refugees have returned to Afghanistan in the world’s largest repatriation operation. Nevertheless, a 40 per cent decrease has been observed in return trends this year. There are still 2.4 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan and Iran – with 1.6 million and 840,000 refugees in each country, respectively.

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.
AGAHI is UNESCO implementing partner in Pakistan. A not for profit, AGAHI specializes in creating communication, information and media policy design tools, that enables the stakeholders to engage in information collaboration on knowledge-based platforms. AGAHI works in building the capacity of knowledge workers in creating content based on best practices to disseminate information in building a more integrated knowledge ecosystem.

This is a composite of the most readable squares.
No color = control.
Green = readable in one or more of the tested spectra.
Yellow = somewhat difficult to read, but readable nonetheless, in one or more of the tested spectra.
Red = very difficult or impossible to read in any of the tested spectra.
Lessons learned:
-Permanent black markers are great for obscuring markings (such as SS numbers).
-Colored markers, crayons, and pencils are bad for obscuring markings.
-Highlighter markings are easily obscured by most writing implements.
-To make a secret letter, write with a mechanical pencil or a black permanent marker, then cover the text with lots of black pen markings. The message can be decoded with an infrared still or video camera (such as a Sony Handycam with NightShot).
In light of the growing food and energy demands in Africa, the private sector is rallying to participate in the green growth agenda and align with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), targeting a low carbon transition. Various studies estimate the implementation of NDCs and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require trillions of dollars by 2030, and many of these projections confirm the private sector will cover a significant portion of this climate investment. The post Covid-19 recovery is still underway, with impacts from the pandemic still being faced by the financial sector and economy at large. In this context, climate-smart investments bring both opportunities and challenges for job creation, inclusion, improving livelihoods, and economic growth. There are multiple climate finance funds and a growing set of climate finance instruments, but the major challenge for the African private sector continues to be access to affordable capital.
This panel, organised by BANK OF AFRICA, highlighted the priority pathways and business models in support of NDCs in Africa, from the perspective of various stakeholders in the private sector. The event aimed to generate a solution-oriented discussion around the gaps and opportunities of sustainable finance in the African context. BANK OF AFRICA Group, a pan-African universal banking group, has established itself as a regional sustainable finance pioneer over the past 15 years, developing various blended finance offers for energy efficiency, water, and waste management in partnership with DFIs, as well as a Green Bond and a Socially Responsible Fund (SRI). BANK OF AFRICA is piloting the Positive Impact Finance initiative methodology heralded by UNEP FI and is a member of the Coordination Group of the Climate Action in Financial Institutions initiative. BANK OF AFRICA’s continuous ambition is to offer innovative financing solutions to challenges faced by the private sector in Africa, especially SMEs, including climate and gender finance.

Kavalcare Solar System for Jhpiego Mid-Wife Clinic Dec8, 2014
Every year, 12,000 women in Pakistan die of birth complications. The Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Services Component, implemented by MCHIP/Jhpiego, aims at preventing maternal, newborn, and child deaths by ensuring skilled birth attendance (SBA) through a total market approach, empowered community, timely referral of obstetric and neonatal complications to an emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) facility, and improved access to child care.
Lack of electricity in remote areas is a major issue that often leads to obstetric complications and newborn deaths. Refrigerated storage is vital for the effectiveness of life saving drugs and vaccines. Ice boxes are used in remot areas of this purpose but it is an ineffective method especially when easy availability of ice is a problem. To overcome these issues, Lodhie Foundation in association with Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program/JHPIEGO, extended its Kavalcare program and provided a Solar Powered System to a remote clinic located at village Haji Usman Jhakro near Makli, District Thatta. System provides sufficient power to operate a small refrigerator, a fan and 3 lamps 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It was designed, manufactured and installed by Shaan Technologies private Limited Karachi. After installation of Solar System in August 2014, this small remote clinic is serving a community of 10,000 plus persons who lives in village Haji Usman and surrounding areas. On an average 10 patients visits this clinic each day. Clinic also provides up to 15 birth attendance and new born care in a month.

I grew up on a 40 acre farm in the '60's. We had a Farmall F-12 with 12 horsepower at the draw bar. We also used a converted horse drawn mower and dump rake. This kind of reminds me of those days and the folks that farmed here.
Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo está implementando el Programa de Regeneración de Conjuntos Habitacionales en la Villa Jorge Alessandri de la ciudad de Antofagasta, con el objeto de mejorar la calidad de vida de las familias que habitan en este condominio social.
Antofagasta, Febrero 2018. El Conjunto Habitacional Villa Jorge Alessandri de la comuna de Antofagasta se construyó a mediados de la década del 80 entre los sectores Trocadero y Barrio Industrial, y está constituido por 256 departamento que tienen una superficie promedio que no supera los 35 m2.
El año 2006 fue uno de los barrios seleccionados por el Programa “Quiero Mi Barrio”, que permitió generar proyectos físicos y sociales acordados participa y colectivamente con la comunidad. En este proceso los dirigentes de la Villa y sus vecinos manifestaron el deseo de mejorar las condiciones de habitabilidad, dadas las problemáticas de hacinamiento y falta de espacios públicos que afectan al condominio.
El año 2016 el Minvu hizo una priorización de todo el área a través de una Zona de Interés Público que considera distintos proyectos urbanos para este sector de la ciudad de Antofagasta; y una de las líneas de acción sectorial priorizada fue la implementación del Programa de Regeneración de Conjuntos Habitacionales en la Villa Jorge Alessandri.
En el marco de este Programa se trabajó con la comunidad y el municipio en la construcción de un Plan Maestro, que determinó la necesidad de regenerar y reconstruir todo el conjunto habitacional, para conducir así a una mejor utilización de la manzana donde se encuentra ubicado el condominio, aportando a la relación de éste con la ciudad.
Por ello, recientemente los vecinos se reunieron en una asamblea con alta convocatoria para conocer las 2 empresas que -bajo licitación- se adjudicaron el proyecto, que en sus grandes líneas de ejecución considera, por una parte, la movilidad de las familias y, por otra, la construcción de las nuevas soluciones habitacionales.
En la ocasión, se presentaron y expusieron las empresas “Ebco”, constructora a cargo de la demolición y construcción de los departamentos, y la Entidad Patrocinante “DyM”, responsable de trabajar en la organización de la demanda de las familias y en la posterior movilidad de éstas. Ambas entidades cuentan con amplia experiencia en sus rubros.
Asimismo, en la oportunidad se dio a conocer el anteproyecto del nuevo conjunto habitacional, que fue conocido por la asamblea. Y la entidad patrocinante explicó la forma en que se irán trabajando los temas asociados a movilidad, copropiedad y otros.
El Secretario Regional Ministerial de Vivienda y Urbanismo, Mauricio Zamorano, entregó la tranquilidad a los beneficiarios sobre la continuidad del proyecto y enfatizó que la tarea es llevar esto a cabo de la mejor forma posible, mediante un trabajo conjunto, donde la participación de los beneficiados en todas las instancias programadas es primordial.
PROGRAMA
El Programa Regeneración de Conjuntos Habitacionales busca responder a las necesidades colectivas de habitabilidad presentes en la población que reside en conjuntos de viviendas sociales y que se encuentran en condiciones críticas de déficit y deterioro de inmuebles y bienes comunes de alta densidad habitacional.
Su objetivo principal es mejorar las condiciones de habitabilidad de conjuntos habitacionales en relación a los estándares de calidad determinados por el Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo, a través de su regeneración urbana, mediante proyectos de reparación, ampliación o reconstrucción de viviendas, mejoramiento de bienes comunes, construcción de áreas verdes, equipamiento y espacios públicos, apuntando a un proceso participativo, integral y sustentable. El proyecto Villa “Jorge Alessandri” de Antofagasta, se construirá con la figura de condominios sociales, aplicándose la normativa de la Ley 19.537.
