Summary and Recommendations. Based on its review, the appraisal team recommends continuation of the existing cooperative agreement between the NRC and the State of Wisconsin. Overall, the program has operated well and satisfied the objectives and conditions of the agreement. Improvements have been made since the previous NRC appraisal (January 1985). The gamma-counting procedure has been completed and implemented. The laboratory moved to more spacious quarters, and the data management system has been expanded and computerized. The report production has been simplified by accumulating the data in spreadsheets; the reports have been submitted in a timely manner. | | , =
Summary and Recommendations. 3.1 Summary The aim of the task 6.3 was to formulate recommendations to support deinstitutionalisation and to promote, and sustain, the development of community living for all people with disabilities. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability (UN CRPD), Article 19, states that supporting disabled people to live in the community as equal citizens is an issue of human rights. In addition, living in the community and not in congregative settings such in institutions is a key pre-requisite for Active Citizenship. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx- Xxxxx, et al (2010)5 noted that institutions were originally defined in general as large 4 Xxxxxxx J, Xxxxx M, Xxxxxx-Xxxxx J and Xxxxxxx, J (2007).

Summary and Recommendations. The implementation of the CARIFORUM-EU economic partnership agreement will pose some challenges for the region. Many of these challenges are not new especially since most CARIFORUM States are already members of the WTO and have otherwise committed themselves to a process of trade liberalization. This is one context of which the EPA must be kept in mind when trying to access its merits. It involves a high degree of liberalization on the part of CARICOM States in both goods and services over an extended period of time. Also, smaller States will have to shift away to more indirect taxes rather than tariffs. The example of Mauritius is cited as a case in which this was successfully done, and can be emulated. CARIFORUM States will have to significantly improve their production processes and technical know-how in order to fully take advantage of the greater access to EU markets. Some improvement in the rules of origin may also serve to boost exports to the EU for certain products. There are numerous clauses in the agreement that can be used in order to safeguard domestic producers and labour. The challenge will be to insist that these be invoked in cases of injury to the domestic market, or social dislocation brought about by surges in imports. On the other hand, there are those who firmly believe that the agreement does not go far enough. For example, to support regional integration, the EPA provisions should not only stop at references to regional integration, but should systematically aim to attract FDI into the East African Community (EAC) region in line with the priorities of the region (Mangeni, 2008, p. 23).17 There also could be a strengthening of the dispute settlement facility by insisting that all matters be resolved internally, not just those relating to safeguards.
Summary and Recommendations. This report sets out requests from Try Homes Limited (the Developer) to vary a Section 106 Agreement dated 28 October 2006 (the Principal Agreement) made between the Council, the Developer and two other parties.
Summary and Recommendations. The development impact fees of $974 per single family residential dwelling unit, $825 per multifamily residential dwelling unit, and $0.81 per non-residential square foot that BBC recommends for FFFPD’s consideration represent maximum defensible amounts, and we recognize that the District may choose not to adopt fees as high as those amounts. BBC offers the following recommendations: ⯀ FFFPD should maintain its impact fee fund separate and apart from its general fund and make withdrawals from the former only to pay for growth-related infrastructure. ⯀ FFFPD should adhere to a written policy governing its expenditure of monies from its impact fee fund. The District should be prohibited from paying for operational expenses with impact fees, including the repair and replacement of existing infrastructure not necessitated by growth. In cases when FFFPD expects new infrastructure to partially replace existing capacity and to partially serve new growth, cost sharing between its general fund (or capital fund) and its impact fee fund should be allowed on a proportional basis as determined by the District’s board. ⯀ FFFPD’s impact fees should be updated periodically as it invests in additional infrastructure beyond what is listed in this report or the District’s population or inventory of commercial square footage changes substantially. ⯀ FFFPD’s fees should be updated annually based on established inflation indices, such as the Consumer Price Index or the Engineering News Record.

Summary and Recommendations. The primary goal of this assessment was to determine the ability of WorHOs to sustain the implementation of each of the four IFHP-supported management approaches beyond the end date of IFHP. Efforts were made to identify the conditions under which the WorHOs could continue implementing the approaches, and to collect data that directly and indirectly measure the ability WorHOs to sustain the implementation of these health system strengthening approaches after support from IFHP ends. The results from this assessment support the following conclusions. Some capacity has been built in the different management approaches. A large number of WorHO staff have been trained on the different management approaches and the majority of these trained staff were still in the employment of the WorHOs at the time of the assessment. This finding implies that some level of capacity has been built among the WorHOs to implement the management approaches. IFHP support to WorHOs varied slightly by management approach and type of support. The percentages of WorHOs reporting to have received IFHP support vary by management approach and by type of support. The assessment data show that not all WorHOs have received IFHP technical and/or financial support to implement each management approach. Nineteen (58%), of WorHOs reported to have received IFHP support in all four management approaches, and the data show that there was no WorHO that did not receive IFHP support in one or more management approaches. Regarding the type of IFHP support received, the data show that more WorHOs reported to have received technical than financial support. The financial contribution of WorHOs increased over time. The majority of WorHOs that reported to have provided financial support to the implementation of the management approaches reported an increase in their financial contributions over time. The data suggest increased commitments of the WorHOs to the implementation of the management approaches. WorHOs’ perception of their ability to sustain the management approaches at the IFHP- supported scale varied by management approach. Only three WorHOs reported an ability to continue the implementation of all four management approaches with their own staff and resources should IFHP support end. Except for HMIS/data use for decision making, most WorHOs would “reduce scale of implementation and continue implementation with only staff/resources” as a response to graduation in order to sustain the implementatio...
Summary and Recommendations. The primary goal of this report is to inform the ProSafe White Paper. Therefore, each of the recommendations in this section should be taken in light of the intentions of the overall ProSafe project outcomes and how they would feed into development of actions and policies to support implementation of SbD approaches for MNM uses.
Summary and Recommendations. Summary of findings, recommendations for the courthouse, and recommendations for future courthouse design or construction.
Summary and Recommendations. Cultural resource assessments associated with the proposed Port MacKenzie Rail Extension project, a federal undertaking, would involve an integrated process for satisfying NEPA and Section 106. The NEPA documentation would include a description of the affected environment, based on predictive modeling, with a description of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects from the proposed project on cultural resources. This level of analysis would provide an effective means for comparing the potential impacts of different project alternatives and provide mitigation strategies for addressing adverse impacts to cultural resources from the proposed project. As part of the NEPA process, a ground truthing survey will be conducted in Summer 2008. The ground truthing survey will focus on a sample of areas with high and/or medium potential for cultural resources for all proposed project alternatives. A report describing the probability method, ground truthing survey method and survey results will be submitted to SHPO following completion of the surveys. The results will be the basis for the EIS chapters on affected environment and environmental consequences. The subsequent completion of the Section 106 assessment will include a review of available information regarding cultural resources, consultation, field surveys with subsurface testing in areas not surveyed during ground truthing, and determinations of eligibility for the NRHP for any cultural resource that could be affected by the proposed project. This report will be submitted to SHPO for their review and concurrence prior to the start of any project construction.
