This handbook provides guidance on the measurement of economic characteristics in population censuses, based on relevant experiences of countries, with a particular focus on the questions used and the requirements for processing of responses. It is intended to provide census planners with a variety of approaches to assess the questions and methods of collecting economic characteristics used in their national census, as they evaluate the performance in the past decade and plan for the 2010 round of censuses (2005-14)

In his report on the global field support strategy (A/64/633), the Secretary- General presented a comprehensive organizational change initiative aimed at improving service delivery to United Nations field missions. The goal of the strategy is to establish, over a five-year period, a more client-oriented service delivery model capable of meeting the following objectives: (a) Expedited and improved service delivery to the field; (b) Improved support to peacekeeping and peacemaking mandate delivery; (c) Strengthened resource stewardship, efficiencies and economies of scale; (d) Improved staff safety, security and quality of life; (e) Strengthened accountability. The General Assembly, in its resolution 64/269, requested that the Secretary- General submit an annual progress report on the implementation of the global field support strategy. Recalling paragraph 194 of the report of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (A/66/718) and paragraph 203 of the report of the Board of Auditors on United Nations peacekeeping operations (A/66/5 (Vol. II)), the Assembly, in resolution 66/264, further requested that the Secretary- General submit to the General Assembly his all-encompassing end-state vision for the global field support strategy. The present report presents the vision of the Secretary-General for the end state and outlines how the pillars of the global field support strategy (human resources, finance, modularization/supply chain and service centres) will transform support services at all four levels: United Nations Headquarters, the Global Service Centre, the Regional Service Centre and the missions. It further highlights progress achieved since the issuance of the last progress report of the Secretary-General (A/66/591 and Add.1) and identifies critical next steps towards attaining the desired end state. It lays out the path towards improved support to deployed personnel in the field as well as to Headquarters partners, including the Department of Peacekeeping Operations — with whom the Department of Field Support shares specific services in support of United Nations peacekeeping — and other institutional partners such as the Department of Political Affairs and the Department of Management. The report reflects that, midway towards implementation, the global field support strategy has already yielded substantial results, including with respect to improvements in rapid mission start-up, process streamlining, efficiency gains and programme management and oversight. In response to the request of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (A/66/718, paras. 189 and 191) that the Secretariat consider alternative arrangements to improve the reporting process on the global field support strategy and facilitate the decision-making process of the General Assembly through accurate, complete and transparent reporting, the Secretariat will address the requests of the Assembly in two separate reports: (a) the third progress report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of the global field support strategy, and (b) dedicated annexes to the report of the Secretary-General on the overview of the financing of United Nations peacekeeping operations for the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. The intention of the two-step process is to avoid duplication and redundancy and to facilitate access to relevant information by the committees of the General Assembly by separating the reporting requirements related to the high-level strategic end-state vision of the global field support strategy from the financial details pertaining to its implementation.

L'volution conomique des rapports d'exploitation dans le delta intrieur de Niger durant ces vingt dernires annes le reflte bien.

The guide addresses some major issues related to the agronomic management of plant nutrients in an attempt to ensure both enhanced and sustainable agricultural production and to safeguard the environment. In this context, the guide proposes the adoption of Integrated Plant Nutrition Systems (IPNS) which enhance soil productivity through a balanced use of local and external sources of plant nutrients in a way that maintains or improves soil fertility and is environmentally-friendly. The guide also emphasizes the need for national policies facilitating the development of sound plant nutrition management and the investments needed to intensify production while conserving the natural resource base.
Metadata only record ; This document emphasizes the importance of being gender inclusive to increase the possibility for success with forest development programs. By focusing on men and women's differences and complementarities, this document analyses forest activities from a gender perspective. The issues explored are: 1) Natural resources, rights and laws may differ for men and women for land tenure laws, trees, and crops. 2) Work, where men and women carry different responsibilities. 3) Credit and Technology, these often differ in terms of access for men and women. 4) Education, training and extension, also show discrepancies in access and service provide. 5) Knowledge and conservation of the environment, women and men possess different knowledge about the use and conservation of natural resources. 6) Contribution to food security, some studies indicate that women spend a larger percentage of their income with their families. 7) Legislation, which can be discriminatory for women, often are the reinforcement of norms, traditions, and religious beliefs. 8) Representation and decision-making, inclusion of both men and women is desirable at every stage of the development process. The document then explores ways to consider gender at all stages of national forest programs. It ends with a printable checklist with several questions related to gender and national forest programs.
Metadata only record ; The promotion of commercial livestock husbandry has long been seen as a means of destocking African rangelands and increasing livestock output through increased offtake. This paper argues that commercialization does exact a long-term downward pressure on African stocking densities, which will make many policy makers, administrators, and range scientists happy. However, the shift form subsistence to market-oriented forms of range livestock husbandry also exerts downward pressure on total rangeland output and undermines the capacity of rangelands to support human populations, a possibility that is no likely to be warmly welcomed by displaced pastoralists.
