Ecaterina Chiciuc, 60, has been carrying water to her house from a well in her neighbourhood since she got married at 20.
In Slobozia Mare, residents and migrants abroad gradually joined forces to form a Home Town Association, now an officially registered NGO. Over 200,000 people from 5 cities and 18 villages in Moldova have benefited from the Migration and Local Development project, implemented by UNDP in Moldova with funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The project aims to improve local infrastructure and living conditions. It brings together residents and migrants of villages to prioritize the main issues facing their communities, and helps connect them to municipalities and international donors to help them solve the issues. Nearly US$800,000 has been invested so far. Out of this amount, approximately $118,000 represent crowdfunding efforts by Moldovan migrants living abroad. Another $214,000 were provided by local authorities and $460,000 by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

Three blocks of grand maple trees on 8th Ave S near the South Park Community Center provide critical tree canopy and a sense of place for the neighborhood. Unfortunately, these trees were planted in a narrow planting strip, so their roots have significantly damaged the sidewalk and made it difficult for folks to get around.
King County and the City plan to implement a long term solution to these tree and sidewalk issues in the next few years, so SDOT’s objective in 2016 was to complete interim repairs to improve safety on a relatively small budget. Luckily, we also had a valuable resource: 14’ driving lanes on 8th Ave S. That’s wider than we need even for buses and trucks. This opened possibilities.
Throughout Seattle, SDOT is looking at existing pavement in new ways. By using low cost investments such as paint and planter boxes, we’ve reprogrammed street areas into curb bulbs, sidewalks, and public plazas. With this creative perspective, we gathered feedback from the South Park community on ways to reconfigure 8th Ave S to increase safety for people walking, preserve trees and address other priorities. SDOT crews completed the newly configured three blocks of 8th Ave S this summer.
The updated 8th Ave S keeps street parking on both sides as the neighborhood requested. We narrowed driving lanes to 10.5’, freeing up space to add a 6’ wide protected walkway along the curb, and we closed the damaged sidewalk. As an added benefit, narrower driving lanes tend to slow traffic speeds.
The walkway is protected from traffic by the parking lane and curbs and posts installed by SDOT crews. We also extended the pedestrian space at intersections and reduced the length of the crossings by creating curb bulbs using posts and paint.
In other locations SDOT fully painted these curb bulbs, but in South Park we used a more innovative design using polka dots, which are more eye-catching to drivers. We worked with South Park leaders to match the colors of the polka dots with the colors of the South Park Neighborhood Association logo.
Feedback from the South Park community has been positive about this added sense of place for the neighborhood, the preservation of its stately trees and a safer place to walk.
Project Goals
Provide a safe walking experience for people of all ages and abilities
Increase safety and predictability for all travelers
Promote physical activity and affordable travel options
Accommodate on-street parking
Through our conversations with community members and the feedback we received, we gathered many ideas that will help us identify a preferred alternative for the neighborhood. Some of the most common ones include:
Maintain street tree canopy along 8th Avenue
Install clear markings for people to travel and transition safely
Provide safe and visible access to bus stops and driveways
Consider designating space for people riding bicycles away from traffic
Install enough protection/barriers between people walking and people driving
Keep proposed walk path clean from leaves and debris regularly
Keep neighbors informed on project progress throughout the process
Preserve parking on both sides of the street to accommodate demand during community center events

Padrés Elías confirmó que dentro de los siguientes dos meses se lanzará la licitación para la construcción de la presa Pilares, con una inversión de mil 700 millones de pesos, que garantizará el ciclo de riego en las 90 mil hectáreas que integra la región del mayo, así como prevenir las posibles inundaciones por las lluvias de temporada.
El Gobernador del Estado comentó que Sonora va por muy buen rumbo, con un promedio de crecimiento económico anual por arriba de la media nacional, creando más de 64 mil nuevos empleos, manteniéndose como el estado fronterizo más seguro de la República Mexicana, construyendo cuatro nuevas universidades, 13 preparatorias, iniciando el programa nacional Nuevo Futuro y trabajando en beneficio de las familias sonorenses.

York Regional Council adopted the three-stream waste management system in 2001. This system separates household organic waste, Blue Box recyclable material and residual waste. The objective of the three-stream system is to divert more waste from landfills. It was launched in September 2004, through a collection of source separated organics by then Town of Markham within a pilot area. The three-stream system included the addition of new types of recyclable materials to the Blue Box program. The new materials were added in the pilot area within then Town of Markham and were expanded Region-wide on July 4, 2005 to correspond with the opening of the Region's new Waste Management Centre in the Town of East Gwillimbury. Municipalities in York Region began collecting organic waste, with the program fully implemented in 2008. The Region was able to divert 112,403 tonnes of green bin organics from landfills in 2020.

The smaller oral syringe is used to administer the medication orally (making it difficult for the cats to avoid their medicine) and the larger one is what we use to feed Argent (who doesn’t have an appetite anymore).

Mekelle– Ethiopia, 24th January 2016: Members of African Union (AU) Executive Council converged in the Tigray region of Mekelle, on 24 January 2016, within the framework of their third Ministerial Retreat, holding under the theme: “Implementation of Agenda 2063”. The Ministerial Retreat was chaired by Hon. Simbarashe S. Mumbengegwi, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Zimbabwe and Chairperson of the Executive Council, in the presence of H.E.

President Weldu welcomed the participants in the city of Mekelle and presented the historical background of the region which he qualified as courageous and privileged population who inherited the most archeological objects and sites of humanity. He said the agenda of this retreat has a significant meaning to the Tigray tribe/people of Ethiopia. He appreciated the vision of the Union aimed at creatiing an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa”.
In her opening remarks, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, AUC Chairperson, recalled the first retreat in the city of Ethiopia Bahir Dar in 2014, where she introduced the Dream of the African People in “the e-mail from the future”, among others. “Two years ago, as we concluded the 50th anniversary of the OAU/AU, we met as in retreat in the city of Bahir Dar, to discuss the core responsibilities of this important organ, the Executive Council. It was then when I spoke about our dream of the Africa we want, in the e-mail from the future.
Two years later, as we gather here in Mekelle, Tigray region we can report that we have made some headway. As discussed at this retreat, we now have Agenda 2063 as our clarion call for action, supported by all sections of the African society”, stated the AUC Chairperson. She explained that, “we are now clear on the priorities of Agenda 2063, investing in our people, especially youth and women; in agricultural modernization and agro-businesses; in manufacturing and industrialization; the development of our infrastructure; democracy and developmental governance, as well as the need of silencing the guns by 2020.”
“Our Agenda 2063 flagship projects - such as the free movement of people, the Commodities strategy, the Pan African Integrated High speed Rail network - is taking off, and should help towards our vision of an integrated, peaceful and prosperous Africa, driven by its own people and taking its rightful place in the world”, underscored Dr. Dlamini Zuma.
Referring to the song on Agenda 2063 composed by a group of artists from Zimbabwe, played during the opening ceremony of the retreat, the AUC Chairperson called on other artists within the continent to emulate the good example. “ I would like to thank the Zimbabwean artists who came up with that song on Agenda 2063, and I challenge all of us to encourage our artists to compose as many songs as possible. Of course as the Chair of the Union, Zimbabwe led from the front”. She thanks the Mekelle authorities for hosting the AU Ministerial retreat and wished the Ministers fruitful deliberation. (See complete speech of the AUC Chairperson on the website: www.au.int ).
The Chairperson of the Executive Council on his part, recalled the high moments and priorities on Agenda 2063 saying “our Agenda is centred in the review of implementation of decisions taken during the 2nd Ministerial retreat and update on the implementation of the 1st ten year plan of Agenda 2063, the free movement of goods and persons, the issue of Immigration and tourism and wild life preservation”. Minister Mumbengegwi stressed that “as we continue streamlining and improving the working methods of our Union, we also need to consider how best we can align our bi-annual Summits in order to improve the effectiveness of our organisation and to give ourselves ample time to implement our decisions”.

USDA Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Dr. Homer Wilkes, U.S. Senator Cory Booker and White House Senior Advisor for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation John Podesta announced historic funding through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expand access to urban nature, combat the climate crisis, and advance environmental justice, after meeting with local and state stake holders, April 12, 2023, in Newark, New Jersey.
The funding announced today is part of a $1.5 billion investment in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The grant funding is available to community-based organizations, tribes, municipal and state governments, nonprofit partners, universities, and other eligible entities as they work to increase tree cover in urban spaces and boost equitable access to nature while bolstering resilience to extreme heat, storm-induced flooding, and other climate impacts. This historic level of investment will enable the Forest Service to support projects to improve public health, increase access to nature, and deliver real economic and ecological benefits to cities, towns and tribal communities across the country.

“After implementation of eVIN, there is no shortage of vaccines in the PHC. EVIN has helped our staff to learn how to use a smartphone and make systematic entries in the register. It is improving the quality of work and management in our PHC,” says Dr Rebika, the medical officer in-charge at the Mekola primary health centre in Imphal.
GLOBAL CRISIS, LOCAL SOLUTIONS: HOW TO REVOLUTIONIZE AND IMPLEMENT COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH CARE
Globally, the ripple effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing forced migration, and a rise in human rights violations have accelerated the mental health crisis. This crisis is only expected to worsen, and providing care to those affected will become even harder. The WHO projects a deficit of 10 million health care professionals worldwide by 2030. Luckily, many communities across the globe are stepping up to the plate to increase access to care; however, this is just one of the hurdles we face. Community stigma, economic mobility, and gender are all contributing factors that must be addressed through locally sustainable treatment options. From partnerships between community stakeholders and medical professionals, to unlikely community and school interventions, it will take all of us to find solutions that ultimately lead to a healthier global community.

Anteontem, cerca de 40 pessoas causaram tumulto ao pintar colunas e paredes de área sem exposição
Camila Molina
As pichações realizadas no domingo à noite no segundo piso do prédio da Bienal de São Paulo foram apagadas. A instituição decidiu remover as pichações que tomaram paredes, colunas, muretas e vidros do pavimento totalmente vazio, que integra o projeto curatorial desta edição do evento. Hoje, o público já encontrará as paredes totalmente brancas, repintadas ontem à noite.
Em nota oficial, a Fundação Bienal de São Paulo afirma que a segurança do prédio será reforçada. "Somos obrigados, pelo autoritarismo e violência desses criminosos, a implementar medidas de segurança e controle do público visitante. Portanto, a fim de evitarmos transtornos e embaraços, pedimos a gentileza de que os visitantes não venham com bolsas grandes (mochilas são guardadas obrigatoriamente), pois elas terão de ficar no guarda-volumes. Todos os visitantes deverão passar por detectores de metal e, quando solicitados, poderão ser inquiridos sobre possíveis pertences metálicos."
No domingo, dia de abertura da 28ª Bienal de São Paulo, um grupo formado por cerca de 40 pichadores entrou no pavilhão e, por volta das 19h35, começou a pichar grande área do segundo andar. Seguranças entraram em choque com os pichadores. Uma jovem identificada como Carol, de 23 anos, foi detida pelos seguranças e presa pela Polícia Militar, que chegou ao prédio depois das 20 horas. Enquanto a PM não chegava, o prédio foi fechado: ninguém podia entrar ou sair. Houve tumulto e mais uma pessoa foi detida.
O Estado foi procurado, por telefone, por um dos participantes da ação ocorrida no domingo. "A Carol me ligou do DP e disse que o delegado falou que o crime era inafiançável e talvez ela fosse levada para um presídio", diz Cripta, como prefere ser identificado. Ele afirmou que a pichação na Bienal foi mais um ato do Movimento Além do Bem e do Mal, iniciado em julho com uma ação na fachada e nas dependências da Faculdade de Belas Artes. Depois, em setembro, houve um ataque à Galeria Choque Cultural. "Tudo caiu muito no Rafael (Rafael Guedes Augustaitiz, conhecido como Rafael Pixobomb), por causa da Belas Artes (ele era aluno da faculdade e no dia da apresentação de seu trabalho de conclusão de curso levou pichadores para o local). Mas esse movimento reúne muitas pessoas", afirma Cripta, de 24 anos, morador da zona oeste.
Segundo ele, que esteve na Bienal apenas filmando a ação - o vídeo realizado não será vendido, frisa -, Rafael não participou e foram convocados pichadores de gangues de toda a cidade para invadir a Bienal. Cripta conta que primeiramente "avaliaram o terreno" durante a tarde de domingo e se reuniram às 18 horas na frente do Detran. Entraram em pequenos grupos no prédio. "Foi tranqüilo passar pela segurança. Não ser permitido entrar com bolsa era até melhor para gente, pois colocamos as latas na cintura", revela.
"Essa idéia de pichar a Bienal foi ganhando força com o tempo, com a informação de que o andar estaria vazio. Pichador gosta de desafio e não teria graça se não acontecesse no dia da abertura. Pichação é resistência, ela vai lá, se apropria, não se submete a nada", afirma Cripta. No piso vazio da Bienal, outro grupo, Arac, também colocou stickers, como forma de "invasão".
The community of San Juan de Iris is located in the Rímac watershed, which is the main water source for Lima. Here, an ancient water infiltration canal is being recovered, called Amuna. This is already part of a set of amunas that have been recovering since 2016. The amuna of San Juan de Iris began in August and will be completed in mid-September 2020.
This amuna intervention helps to regulate water in the basin, especially into the subsoil and into the aquifer so that the communities have more water during the dry season.
The communities implementing these measures are receiving additional economic income, in the face of the health and economic crisis related to COVID-19, as the government cannot cover their main economic needs.
