Ministerio de la Producción evalúa implementar un CITE Forestal y Agropecuario en la región Cajamarca

El ITP realizó durante dos meses un levantamiento de información y halló que existe una masa crítica de mypes y productores forestales y agropecuarios con una demanda potencial significativa, que necesita ser potenciada a través de servicios tecnológicos.

Este CITE será útil para darle valor agregado a los productos más representativos de la región, en particular aquellos de la cadena láctea.

 

La ministra de la Producción, Rocío Barrios, se reunió esta mañana con el Gobernador Regional, Mesías Guevara, para dialogar sobre temas relacionados al desarrollo productivo de Cajamarca.

 

En la reunión, Barrios informó que el Instituto Tecnológico de la Producción (ITP) realizó durante dos meses un levantamiento de información en la región y halló que existe una masa crítica de mypes y productores que necesita capacitación y asistencia técnica para potenciarlas y acompañarlas en su ingreso al mercado.

 

“Queremos materializar un plan de trabajo que permita acompañar a Cajamarca en su desarrollo productivo. Es una región muy rica y con potencial, el desafío es intervenir como Estado para darle valor agregado a sus mejores productos, con la intención que puedan generar empleo y se conviertan en un motor de crecimiento”, destacó.

 

CITE Forestal y Agroindustrial

La titular de PRODUCE sostuvo que se va evaluar la puesta en marcha de un CITE Forestal y Agroindustrial en la región, que en principio funcione como una Unidad Técnica (UT).

 

Indicó que en las próximas semanas debería iniciarse la intervención a través de la Red de CITE existente, así como el establecimiento de plazos para la posterior implementación del nuevo CITE, con el apoyo del Gobierno Regional de Cajamarca.

 

“Solicitamos al GORE que nos permitan un lugar habilitado para el local del CITE y su compromiso de apoyar este proyecto”; añadió.

 

Asimismo, precisó que desde el próximo mes el ITP podría realizar talleres y capacitaciones en la región a través de CITE Cedepas Norte y CITE madera, así como la posibilidad de que mypes cajamarquinas realicen pasantías.

 

Actividades protocolares

Durante su visita a Cajamarca, la ministra Rocío Barrios participó en la feria Fongal, que promueve la participación de productores de café y cacao con el objetivo de conquistar nuevos mercados a nivel nacional e internacional.

 

La tradicional feria agropecuaria, agroindustrial, artesanal y turística de Cajamarca, se realiza del 23 al 30 de julio con la intención de mostrar a la población local y a los turistas nacionales y extranjeros, a los mejores expositores y productores de esta región.

 

De igual manera, estuvo presente en el lanzamiento de la estrategia Cero Papel, a la cual destacó. “En solo seis meses este GORE está dando un salto digital muy importante y los felicito. La transformación digital permite que estemos comunicados y que los ciudadanos accedan a los servicios desde la comodidad de sus hogares”, finalizó.

I pestered for implements two or three years ago and, at last Oxford Diecast have made some. The baler is a Bamford (I think) and was yellow when new, the tipper trailer is a Ferguson and the first one I saw was about ten years ago at a Ferguson Rally (hens' teeth in our area!) and the cattle trailer is a Bateson (I think) and too new for my era! I have some work to do on these items!

Since Apple implemented Tibetan fonts and keyboard in the iOS 4.2, iPhone gained immense popularity in the Tibetan community. For the first time Tibetan people could freely write Tibetan script in SMS (and later Wechat) instead of Chinese or English. A lot of Tibetan netizens gave their condolences to Steve Jobs on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging service, on October 5, 2011 when he passed away.

Explanation:

 

The labels are under the items because I obviously know what the item is. And when the item is where it needs to be, I don't need a label telling me so. The only time I need labels for these items is when they're not where they're supposed to be. The labels annoy me into replacing the item as quickly as possible. They're nags designed to instill good "put it back where it belongs" behavior.

Prosperidad Social implementará convenios con organizaciones sociales y juntas de acción comunal (JAC) para los proyectos de infraestructura social y hábitat, que financia y ejecuta en los municipios más pobres del país. La directora de la entidad, Cielo Rusinque Urrego, lo anunció este viernes en el Congreso Nacional de Municipios, organizado por la Federación Nacional de Municipios en Cartagena de Indias.

  

“Tenemos capacidad legal para hacer estos convenios solidarios, en compañía con el ente territorial. Acompañaremos técnicamente lo que requieran, de acuerdo con la complejidad de las obras y la capacidad que haya en el territorio. Vincular a estas organizaciones beneficiará la economía popular y garantizará la participación de la comunidad”, explicó. Recordó que el Gobierno Nacional pretende fortalecer a las organizaciones sociales y comunitarias y fomentar su participación en los procesos de desarrollo territorial.

 

Las JAC integrarán el comité que seleccionará los proyectos de infraestructura. Serán priorizados de acuerdo con una clasificación que cruza criterios, entre esos, los índices de desnutrición, riesgo de victimización y pobreza multidimensional. El comité estará conformado por representantes de las JAC, el Ministerio de la Igualdad, la Consejería de Regiones, el ICBF, la Unidad para las Víctimas y Prosperidad Social.

 

La entidad tiene 500.000 millones de pesos destinados a la ejecución de obras de infraestructura social y hábitat durante este año. “100.000 millones de pesos están destinados a la subsanación de los proyectos pendientes de vigencias anteriores. El resto están destinados a obras en territorios que podamos apoyar, de acuerdo con las necesidades y con la aplicación del enfoque diferencial territorial”, informó Rusinque.

 

En el escenario del congreso de alcaldes, el subdirector de Programas y Proyectos de la entidad, Carlos Chinchilla, y el director de infraestructura, Eduardo Mesa, atendieron a alcaldes de municipios en los que hay proyectos suspendidos de vigencias anteriores, para acordar la realización de las mesas técnicas en las que revisarán la posibilidad de agilizarlos.

 

Desde noviembre pasado, la entidad organiza estas mesas técnicas para revisar la viabilidad de los proyectos de infraestructura social con mayor impacto en las condiciones de las poblaciones más vulnerables: con mayor incidencia de hambre y pobreza, y riesgos o consecuencias por el invierno. Desde entonces, ha logrado destrabar cerca de setenta obras en más de sesenta municipios del país. Algunas de estas obras fueron entregadas este mes durante una jornada nacional.

 

“Recibimos una ejecución del presupuesto del 5 %. En pocos meses, al finalizar el año, la llevamos a la ejecución de más del 75 %, mediante el acompañamiento en mesas técnicas para viabilizar y ejecutar los proyectos”, recordó Rusinque este viernes.

Persistent Gender Inequality in Iraq Calls for Coordinated Efforts in Developing 2nd National Action Plan on Implementing Resolution 1325

 

Baghdad, Iraq, 3 October 2018 – Gender inequality continues to prevail in Iraq with worrisome signals that it is deepening, requiring intensified efforts and coordination in developing a new action plan on implementing UN Security Council resolution 1325, UN Representative to Iraq Ján Kubiš said today at the high-level consultation meeting on the development of the 2nd National Action Plan. Although he was encouraged to see progress in the protection pillar and dedicated efforts to strengthen the participation pillar in the National Action Plan, the legacy of the conflict with the terrorist Da’esh continues to hamper steps forward and there are other worrying signs of women being targeted.

 

Mr. Kubiš condemned the recent attacks against women, including the assassination of two women and the sudden death of two others in the past month, all of them active in political and social spheres. Other civil society activists including women are targeted by social media and political threat campaign, among others for their contacts with foreign embassies. This is unacceptable.

 

“Only once politically and socially active women are protected and safe, Iraq can claim to be making real progress towards women’s equality and empowerment,” he said.

 

The development of a new NAP with all the diversity and complexity of issues will require continuous coordination and collaboration across sectors, in particular involving civil society, and drawing from the lessons learned from the previous plan, the Special Representative said.

 

“By making your deliberations open to the society, by publicly broadcasting them you could mobilise even broader support for your objectives,” Mr. Kubiš said.

 

The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq noted with disappointment that political forces that negotiate the formation of the government do so, again without the participation of women. “We all need to ask: “when the political leaders intend to deliver on their pledges to empower women and advance their rights as a part of the democratic entitlement of all Iraqis thus strengthening equal representation and inclusiveness? The time is now. Otherwise, all the exclamations about commitment to equality of women and values of democracy continue to sound hollow.”

 

Mr. Kubiš outlined UN efforts in support of women empowerment, noting that UNAMI supports women parliamentarians in their quest to establish a cross-political women’s parliamentary caucus. UNAMI will continue to impress on Political Parties who are key to advancing the participation of women in all processes to include women in their leadership structures, urging men advocates to assume a more prominent role, and parliamentarians to consider gender responsive budget in the next budget law to enhance the implementation of the NAP. The UN will also continue to advocate for the establishment of a dedicated institution in the next government structure with budget and authority to coordinate the implementation of the NAP and national frameworks and policies on WPS.

 

The UN in Iraq will also mobilise support of the broader international community, including through the International Gender Group from among embassies here in Baghdad, Mr. Kubiš concluded.
