Diversified livelihoods such as beekeeping can help improve the income of rural communities. Apart from producing honey to sell to market, beekeeping helps promote conservation of the natural environment, which many poor communities depend on for food and energy
UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, including a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business.

Text story:
_________
For Karima, one of the happiest moments of her life was when she earned her first thousand Afghani (US$ 15), when she sold a kilo of honey made from her own bee-keeping business. It may seem like a small amount, but for Karima, it was life changing!
Karima is a housewife and a mother of four. Her husband could barely feed the family from the work he could get, so Karimaâs contribution to the household income was significant.
She has seen a lot in her life. She still remembers the agony and frustration when they had no money and their son was sick. As tears well in her eyes, she relates, âWe were not able to buy him medicine. We couldnât do anything but cry and wait for him to either die or recover by himself.â
Her husband, Khalil, who was very fond of honey, tried his hand at beekeeping before, but because he didnât know how to maintain his beehives, his bees all died.
But, Karima and Khalil did not give up. They decided to seek help from the Directorate of Agriculture in Herat city.
UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, and, crucially, a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business. Karima, who lives in in Qala Safid village in Herat province, was one of the recipients.
âWe learned many things about the bee keeping,â says Karima, âlike feeding times, honey extraction and reproduction of honey bees - things I never knew before.â She adds, âI once used lemon to bring back unconscious bees back to normal.â
Now, equipped with the knowledge and materials, Karima and Khalil expanded their apiary from just four to ten beehives, and they plan to increase the number to 13 in the next year. With the business growing, they are now making 80 to 90 thousand Afghanis each year by selling their honey.
âMy bees are our breadwinners now!â Karima says, looking at her queen bee proudly. âI feel like the queen is representing me and looking after the honey factory!â
Beekeeping requires less inputs for production compared to other agricultural activities and livelihoods. It requires less land, water and labor to generate high levels of income.
With low initial support, beekeepers can get an immediate high income. Thatâs why beekeeping has the potential to transform thousands of lives here in Herat province.
âBy the grace of God, we have a reliable income now and can buy what we need, including medicines or treatment,â says Karima.
Beekeeping in rural areas, where the communities have limited resources such as land and water, can help boost incomes for families like Karimaâs. In addition, beekeeping helps boost food security, and assists crop production through pollination. Almonds, apples, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops all rely on honey bees for pollination. Diversified livelihoods such as bee increasingly improve the income of rural communities consequently people can adapt and manage climate change risks.
So, thanks to her new beekeeping skills, Karima and Khalil truly have a reason to âbeeâ cheerful!

In direct response to the worst El Nino effect and climate change in which Zimbabwe was not spared, FAO rolled out a drought mitigation strategy to ensure improved food security of drought affected households in the country.
The project, with over 8 000 households benefitting, provides access to subsidized stock feed (survival meal) and drought tolerant seeds (sorghum and cowpeas).
The training of trainers on pen-feeding of cattle and animal grading as a drought mitigation strategy has also been undertaken or is underway in the project districts. Farmers are being encouraged to use pen-fattening to obtain higher prices for cattle as they destock to maintain their (smaller) herds.
Here, Mr What Mhlaba, from Nehanda 1 Village, Mabizeni in Checheche who lost five cattle and managed to save six after he got access to subsidised stock feed.

After taking pictures of the full moon rising this evening, I pointed my camera in the other direction to try and improve on my previous attempts to take pictures of the stars.
After taking a few, I noticed a satellite coming across the sky rapidly. What this photograph shows is approximately 38 seconds of the passage of the International Space Station through the constellation of Orion, as it was seen from Wellington.
Other pictures of the moonrise and stars to follow at some point, but I thought you astronomy buffs might appreciate this one. ☺

Photo Caption: Refractive error in children need to be corrected since the early age to prevent further complications such as amblyopia. Parents needs to be alert that refractive errors can, in some cases, be inherited. So if one or both parents have a refractive error, a child is more likely to suffer from one as well. Babies may be born with a refractive error and the condition can worsen over time.
But it can also caused by multifactorial (combination of genes and environment). Therefore for a parents with risk factors, I urgely encourage you to examine your child’s eye health and vision regularly.

Hand Pumps for Community Water Supply
Location: Moradani Village, Mir Pur Sakro District Thatta Sindh.
Project Duration: July 2015- September 2015
Cost of pumps financed by: Mr. Afroz Hussaini
Implementing Partners: Lodhie Foundation & Shaan Technologies Private Limited
Total Pumps Installed: 10
Beneficiaries: 465 Household with an estimated population of 3600 Peoples.
Pakistan is one of the most water stressed countries in the world where total actual renewable water resources have been decreasing day by day. Presently water resources in Pakistan decreased from 5000 cubic meters per capita in 1951 to 1100 cubic meters in last year.
Currently, over 35 percent of Pakistan’s population does not have access to safe drinking water. The quality of drinking water supply is poor, with bacterial contamination, arsenic, fluoride and nitrate being the factors of major concern. Province of Sindh is one of the highly water scarce province of Pakistan. Deterioration in water quality and contamination of lakes, rivers and groundwater aquifers has resulted in increased waterborne diseases and other health impacts.
Coastal belt of Sindh is one of the highly effected areas where decreased inflow in Indus river delta is resulting in salt water intrusion from sea. This reduced water inflow destabilized eco system as well as made drinking water availability a major problem for the people especially women.
Mirpur Sakro is one of the water scarce area near coastal belt of Sindh. It is 90 kilometers away from Karachi. Since last 2 years Lodhie Foundation is providing relief to the community through installing hand pumps is this area. Lodhie Foundation is very grateful to Syed Afroze Hussaini for his generous support for the installation of 10 hand pumps in Village Mora Dani and surrounding areas located in Mirpur Sakro district Thatta Sindh.
Pumps Installation was started in Mid of August 2015 and finished in 3rd week of September 2015. Before the installation of pumps near their houses, women are used to travel 1 to 5 Kilometers to fetch a pot water for their families and cattle.
At the completion time of Hand pump installation nearly 465 households of village MoraDani and surrounding areas were enjoying clean water near their houses. Earlier they were dependent on open reservoirs, canals or open wells for drinking water. Women have to walk quiet a distance to fetch water and multiple rounds are performed to collect sufficient amount of water for their daily usage. Before the installation of hand pumps women have to walk 1 to 5 km, to fetch water which need 1 to 3 hours. Now the
condition has been improved drastically as, water is available near their homes which is a blessing for families and their cattle. Pump water is used for domestic purpose and drinking.
Availability of spare parts for repair and maintenance is not easy in remote areas. To overcome this problem each pump is supplied with necessary spares to keep it maintain without any delay.

On May 14, 2016 the ceremony of the official handover of technical facilities was held at the Academy of State Border Services in the framework of the joint project on “Better coordination on the protection of the land border between Azerbaijan and Georgia”.
During the event, off-road and all-terrain vechicles, quadracycles, trucks, as well as IT equipment and other special technical facilities were provided to improve the technical capacities of the State Border Service.
The equipment will ensure the security of the border region covered by the project and will significantly contribute to the fight against trans-border crime.
It should be noted that this project is funded by the European Union, and is jointly implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the State Border Service.
The objectives of the Project is to improve the border management system, to strengthen the bilateral cooperation, to develop the integrated border management procedures and operations, as well as to provide technical support to pilot border points and relavant divisions.
In the framework of the project, experts from the border agencies of Austria, Latvia, Slovenia and Poland, experts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Romania and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) participated in trainings on strengthening of internal, interagency and international cooperation, as well as improvement of teaching methods and training techniques. Necessary measures have also been taken to improve the regulatory framework. In this regard, throughout the duration of the project, 65 employees of the State Border Service were involved in 12 events carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan and beyond its borders.

How best to train and retain teachers to provide a high-quality education for all America’s children was the goal of the joint hearing I held as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education. Teachers testified about the factors contributing to teacher shortages, the federal role in improving recruitment and retention of effective teachers, and how the Higher Education Act can be revamped to accomplish these goals. Dr. Andrew Daire, Dean of Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Education, spoke on the need to increase federal investments to expand access to effective programs like the Teacher Quality Partnership grant, which can be used to gain in-classroom experience for teachers in training. As Congress works to reauthorize the Higher Education Act, I will continue to work to advance reforms that ensure students nationwide—no matter where they live or what their socio-economic background—can receive a quality education from quality teachers. Watch the hearing here.
