Fact Book on WHO Level I and Level II monitoring indicators - To monitor the progress of efforts to improve the global medicines situation, WHO has developed a system of indicators that measure important aspects of a country’s pharmaceutical situation. Level 1 indicators measure the existence and ...performance of key national pharmaceutical structures and processes.

Das „Abkommen über die Rechtsstellung der Flüchtlinge“- wie der eigentliche Titel der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention (GFK) lautet – wurde am 28. Juli 1951 verabschiedet. Bis heute ist die GFK das wichtigste internationale Dokument für den Flüchtlingsschutz. Die Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention... war zunächst darauf beschränkt, hauptsächlich europäische Flüchtlinge direkt nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu schützen. Um den geänderten Bedingungen von Flüchtlingen weltweit gerecht zu werden, wurde der Wirkungsbereich der Konvention mit dem Protokoll von 1967 sowohl zeitlich als auch geografisch erweitert. Insgesamt 147 Staaten sind bisher der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention und/oder dem Protokoll von 1967 beigetreten.

To address the different impacts of conflict and disasters on each group and promote the potential for positive transformation of gender norms, Oxfam calls for humanitarian agencies to analyse, plan, and respond t...o crises in ways that address practical gender needs and promote women’s rights. Oxfam is committed to promoting gender equality and preventing gender-based violence, through the implementation of its Minimum Standards for Gender in Emergencies. In addition, the promotion of gender equality must be central to the broader efforts to protect civilians and manage and prevent conflict and armed violence.

This working draft develops guidance on conducting effective evaluations of conflict prevention and peacebuilding work. The current working draft will be used for a one year application phase through 2008. It is the result of an ongoing collaborative project by the OECD DAC Networks on Development E...valuation and on Conflict, Peace and Development Co-operation (CPDC). The two Networks began this collaboration in 2005, responding to the need expressed by CPDC members for greater clarity regarding techniques and issues of evaluation in their field. An assessment of past conflict and peace evaluations and a study of current practices were undertaken in 2006 and identified a need for further guidance.
