Pacific Women aims to develop and deliver evidence-based activities that contribute to the advancement of gender equality in the region. To do this strategically, Pacific Women undertakes targeted activities that help to define the direction of the program, called ‘direction-setting activities’. These include planning, evaluation and research activities that inform program activities supported by Pacific Women.
Direction-setting activities include Country Plan review activities. Country Plans are the mechanism through which Pacific Women activities are planned and agreed between DFAT and counterpart governments. Country Plans are developed to cover a three to four-year period and are informed by extensive national consultations. They provide detail on activities to be funded and how funding decisions are made. Country Plan Summaries can be downloaded from the Pacific Women website.
Teams from the Support Unit and Australian High Commission Posts engage with Pacific governments and stakeholders to review these plans. Country Plan reviews measure progress towards Pacific Women’s outcomes and identify barriers to implementing activities and changes in country context. The reviews include recommendations for future directions.
In June 2018, country plan review activities took place in Kiribati.

Stunning looking building as the afternoon light shimmers off the glass. When completed the Crown will be the gem of Barangaroo.

I stopped on the overpass over 295 in Portland yesterday. The setting sun gleamed off Back Bay as cars zoomed under me.
What was Portland like before all this was here? A giant peninsula jutting into Casco Bay. Hills on both the East and West ends. A big circular back bay separating the peninusla from the rolling fields that gently spread away from the coast. The Mouth of the Fore River to the south. The Presumpscot to the North.
Portland is a beautiful city. Mainers are lucky that their largest city is so scenic. It doesn't stop me from wishing I could have seen it before it was. We can't go back.
There was an article in the paper yesterday about post-recession Gorham, the then little-ish town I called home growing up. Development is starting to pick up again. Mosher corner is the site of Mosher farm, their little corn stand and Beal's Ice Cream, a local favorite after Little League games, win or lose. The area is surrounded by open fields, tall grass, corn. Now, it's all being harvested away for money.
Although the corner is the intersection of two major routes, there was never even a stop light. There is now. The area is being developed... "Vista Park Condominiums, which is approved for a drive-up business such as a bank or restaurant."
"I am cautiously optimistic," Duchaine said."
"We are pleased," said Tom Ellsworth, director of the Gorham Economic Development Corp.
Elsewhere in town, Barrows Green House, a family owned Greenhouse next door to my old elementary school is closing. The family is retiring—selling the land.
"Duchaine is buying 14 acres, now home to Barrows Greenhouses at 312 Main St., and plans to build 26 single-family houses and five duplexes."
Progress?
I know our world needs to grow but the world can't. Change is inevitable. I just wish more thought went into it.

Progress continues on the farmhouse renovation as we sort out what to keep and what to toss (including a mattress box spring made in 1945) and start to imagine the remodeling projects.
Do you know this plant? it is not basil, but looks and smells like it. It is not edible.
In the olden days brides use to wear it in their hair on their wedding day.
While doing some back up, I came across these photos from New Orleans in April 2008.
This was shot in Mid-City. The yellow trumpet vines have nearly smothered the second house on the right, while the next two houses are still under reconstruction post-Katrina. The cream colored shotgun house on the left still retains its jigsaw cut zig-zag trim and intricate gingerbread.

The current City Hall building is a near-50-year-old structure that has served the city well but, in its current state, is functionally obsolete. Built in 1969, the current City Hall requires major renovations that are complicated by the presence of friable asbestos and the way the electrical and mechanical systems were installed.
On October 3, 2017, Virginia Beach city council unanimously approved a resolution to proceed with the design of a new city hall building. The new three-story structure adjacent to the current city hall, between Buildings 1 and 2, is under construction and progressing well.
