Effectiveness of the CBC Approach Sample Clauses

Effectiveness of the CBC Approach. Strategies for communication for behavior change included: face-to-face education through home visits, group meetings to discuss topics, use of visual aids (cartillas), and the implementation of an intercultural approach based of the results of the ethnographic study mentioned in Section B.2.c. The home visits and one-on-one communication have been very effective, along with use of “cartillas” by HVs as teaching aids. Since many people are illiterate, the use of cards with pictures is appropriate. Group education has not been feasible in all of the project communities. In a culture where people are “busy” with agricultural tasks, on which their survival depends at a subsistence level, it is difficult to get people to spend time in meetings. Even the home visits have to be planned when the family has time. Otherwise, family members will not sit down and engage in a conversation regarding health. As awareness of the importance of disease prevention and timely treatment increases, people are more willing to spend time learning. The implementation of the intercultural approach began in Ancoraimes, and is gradually being expanded to other geographic areas. In order to bridge the gap between traditional Aymara communities and CSRA/MOH physicians and nurses, the CS Project made a series of changes in birthing practices in hospitals, and trained promoters and communities in the use of medicinal herbs to treat common health problems. The intercultural approach was highly effective in opening new channels for behavior change, especially in the number of births attended by health personnel. In Ancoraimes, the number of deliveries assisted by trained staff increased by over 50%, from 84 births in 1998 to155 in the year 2000. During the final evaluation interviews, almost all health volunteers and many mothers and fathers mentioned their delight with the new opportunity to learn how to prepare and use traditional medicines.

(b) If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.

Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.11 to the extent such Restricted Payments were not otherwise permitted to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of the third paragraph of Section 4.11, provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reinstatement Date pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.11 shall not be reduced below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments under Section 4.11. Additionally, upon any Reinstatement Date, the amount of Available Asset Sale Proceeds will be reset to zero.
