Situation Analysis. 9. Viet Nam has enjoyed rapid economic growth since the launch of the Doi Moi reform process in 1986, with current growth rates averaging around 7-8% per annum. Viet Nam is making impressive progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The country has more than halved its poverty rate and seen improvements in under-five mortality, primary school enrolment, child malnutrition, maternal mortality, life expectancy, and access to clean water and sanitation. Moreover, the reforms have created space for economic, social and cultural activities beyond the confines of Government and Party institutions. As Viet Nam rapidly moves toward middle-income status, it faces a new set of challenges. The complexity of these challenges call for a comprehensive, robust and diversified response from the UN Organizations operating in Viet Nam through the One Plan. 10. The recorded poverty rate fell from 58.1 % in 1993 to 19.5 % in 2004 and to 15.9 % in 2006 as based on the international poverty line (GSO – VHLSS). According to the Vietnamese poverty line, poverty decreased from 18% in 2001 to 7% in 2005 (see SEDP). Poverty rates are however still high and extreme poverty remains heavily concentrated in remote, isolated and ethnic minority regions. Furthermore, drug and crime related problems and transnational organized crime, including human trafficking, smuggling of migrants, money laundering, corruption, and domestic violence, are closely linked to poverty and social policy issues for sustainable development. 11. Pressure to create sustainable, productive and decent employment for all, especially for youth, remains high. Shortage of skilled workers for the burgeoning manufacturing and service sectors has already emerged as a serious bottleneck. As the economy continues to grow, manufacturing and service sectors will require a rapid transfer of workers from agriculture, and an increased demand of specialised skills. Gender sensitive human resource development, vocational and skills training are primary strategies to ensure progress. 12. Helping people stay out of poverty will become increasingly important, as poverty reduction strategies will gradually give way to social policy strategies to address life cycle vulnerabilities and risks attached to ill health, disability, unemployment, maternity, old age and the costs of having and raising children. 13. The domestic private sector is increasingly the main engine of economic growth and job creation. Both inw...

Situation Analysis. The situation analysis in this section is not comprehensive. It does not aim to provide a substantive political economy analysis of the electoral environment in Pakistan, or the relationships, incentives and power structures which have shaped the evolution of this environment. Rather the aperture for the analysis, for the purposes of brevity, is narrowed to the specific thematic areas that define the programme of work detailed in the pages that follow. The analysis provided focuses on the current operational context from a programming perspective. It identifies the political constraints, and the perceived political risks, in order to ensure that planned interventions are politically informed; assesses, where applicable, the institutional capacity, and appetite, for external assistance; and, in broad terms, highlights why and where specific programme interventions are required. The performance of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), as an institution, and the extent to which political parties and voters have confidence in its ability to ensure credible and legitimate elections, has a direct bearing on political stability in Pakistan. Notwithstanding the incremental progress it has made over the past five years, the ECP will continue to require international technical assistance throughout the current electoral cycle, and for at least the first quarter of the next electoral cycle. This is the estimated timeframe required for external assistance to support the ECP in addressing electoral administration and institutional development challenges, and ensuring longer term sustainability. The bullets below provide a summary of some of the core challenges that undermine the ECP’s ability to enhance the quality of elections in Pakistan.

Situation Analysis. 2.1 Despite classifications as high and middle human development countries on the global Human Development Index (HDI), Barbados and OECS Member States have experienced similar economic recession and social impacts, as other regions. The prolonged global recession and multiple crises in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America7 have impacted the 10 programme countries supported by the UNDP Barbados Subregional Office. 2.2 With recession impacts, starting from mid to late 2007, globally accepted vulnerabilities of SIDS defined in MDG 8 are now evidenced in high current account deficits, high levels of external debt-to-GDP ratios from 66% - 160%; contracting, weak domestic financial sectors as global financial system fall-outs and systemic shifts affect national and regional banking and insurance sectors requiring governments’ emergency interventions to reduce bank collapses, and protect assets of depositors, policyholders and pensioners, weak central government revenue resources; declines in economic performance with unpredictable, stagnated or reversed economic growth in recent years have led to sustained high levels of poverty (13%-39%) and inequality (Gini 0.31-0.56) which threaten the high levels of development achieved.

Situation Analysis. 2.1 Armenia's economic policy has been shaped since the mid-1990s by market-oriented reforms and macro- economic stability frameworks. These "first generation" reforms stimulated average annual growth of 12% in 2001-2007. However, growth remains narrowly based, with exports concentrated in a few products. Deficien- cies in the business environment are a particular handicap for small and medium-sized firms. The economy makes insufficient use of knowledge and innovation. Poverty reduction has relied significantly on fiscal trans- fers and private remittances. As a result, unemployment still affects one-fifth of the labor force, with rates espe- cially high outside the capital. Regional economic disparities remain pronounced. Income per capita averaged US$2,100 in 2007. 2.2 Vulnerable groups face heightened inequalities and poverty. Residents of small and medium-sized towns are most at risk and have experienced a slower reduction in poverty than have other groups. Children under 2 UNDP COUNTRY PROGRAM ACTION PLAN (C PAP) five are the most vulnerable age group, with 5.6% under the minimum level of dietary energy consumption; poverty reduction has been particularly slow for this age group. The elderly, migrants, and refugees have also benefited less from recent economic growth and often lack basic social services. 2.3 High joblessness and uneven distribution of the fruits of growth have caused social dissatisfaction, but governance weaknesses are also to blame. According to the World Bank index of "Governance Atmosphere," governance has improved overall in Armenia. However, indicators covering accountability, rule of law, cor- ruption, and media freedom are less favorable. Measures to reduce corruption, improve public services, and increase respect for human and political rights are necessary to ensure sustainable development in Armenia. 2.4 Armenia is at high risk to climate change, with lower precipitation, higher temperatures and more extreme events predicted. Increased economic activity has already put Armenian natural resources under pressure. Land conservation and biodiversity preservation are challenges. Deforestation and illegal logging persist owing to poor law enforcement. Inadequate waste management poses danger to public health and the environment. Radioactive waste from the Metzamor nuclear power plant is another concern given the possible decommis- sioning of the plant and plans for the construction of a new one. Improved water management is criti...

Situation Analysis. Italian products is the project of a company which born from the need of real Italian merchandise need in a country like US and maybe elsewhere. In every country there are different traditions, flavours, and style. Finding exactly same characteristics abroad is always difficult. That's why there is a need for a company like ours to be present as a reseller, today with the new technologies available on line, without loosing days looking for products that ultimately are not exactly what you are looking for. The burden is always the initial cost to build the website and the maintenance, everything else is already implemented and readily usable from the market. The profit is there, it might me a matter of adjust some percent of some products according to the response of the market. If we look at the projection for years after 2008, we find also a positive NPV.

Situation Analysis. We are going to continue working towards increasing the MEESR Math exam success rate over the next years. Three of our teachers are going to join the 2016 cohort involved in the LCEEQ Conceptual Math intervention plan focusing on content knowledge, and conceptual learning as cornerstones to build student capacity. They will share their knowledge with the rest of the teachers. The science of robotics is introduced in grades 3 and 5 and remains in our programs. Math Olympics was a huge success in February 2015. The students from all cycles, as well as Kindergarten participated in the competition. Kindergarten was recognitions of numbers one to twenty, the cycle 1 worked on additions and subtractions, while the cycle 2 worked on multiplications and the cycle 3 did multiplications and divisions. Math Olympics should be introduced back in the school routine for the year 2016-2017. We will train interested teachers for Reflex math to improve the automatic arithmetic responses from grades 2 -6.
