SUMMARYThis paper, concerned with agricultural development planning problems in the Sahelian and Sudanian (semi-desert and savanna) zones in Africa between 10 and 16° North, describes a plan for Darfur, Western Sudan. This aims to modernize a stagnant and primitive technology and out-dated land rights which, in the face of rapid population increase and climatic change, are reducing the long-term carrying capacity of the land. The development plan (H.T.S., 1974) has been based on a 2-year (1972–73) survey by a team of physical and social scientists, financed by the Overseas Development Administration of the United Kingdom and the Ministry of Agriculture in the Sudan.

Research background: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reduction in income or the total loss of jobs have affected the financial behaviour of consumers worldwide. Managing the budget in times of turbulence and crisis has posed a challenge for households. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to determine to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the financial behaviour of the inhabitants of various countries and how Poland has stood out from the rest. Methods: Due to the orderly nature of the questions analysed, non-parametric tests were used in the analysis. The distribution of current expenditure in comparison with the period before the pandemic was analysed, as well as the results of comparative analyses with Mann-Whitney U tests for comparison of  Poland with Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France (974), Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the USA. A study was carried out on the relationship between planning for the future, having debts and savings and financial behaviour after the COVID-19 pandemic and the metric variables in the group of Poles via Chi square and a series of ? Kendall?s tests. Findings & value added: There has been a fall in expenditure compared to the period before the pandemic, which may explain the lack of opportunities to spend money, the fall in revenue and the freezing of expenditure for fear of an uncertain future. There has also been a change in the way payments are made. Payment cards and purchases made over the Internet are increasingly popular. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are trying to save more, but not everyone can afford to do so. Long-term value added of this paper is analysis of change in the model of financial behavior of households under the shock of the pandemic in international comparisons of the analysed countries.

This study focuses on the consequence of discourse for bringing back the Main State Guidelines (GBHN) in the administration structure of Indonesian Republic. The GBHN has been considered a solution for the insustainability of Indonesian development, despite the fact that there have been the constitutions of National Development Planning System (SPPN), Long-Term Development Plan (RPJP), Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM), and Annual Development Plan. The research method used is the study of normative law. The results obtained from the study are to bring back the GBHN, to require the amendment of Basic Constitution of 1945, to harmonize the statutory regulations such as the material test and juridical review of People’s Consultative Assembly’s decree regulating the GBHN, adjustment to the president’s liability in implementing the GBHN, and evaluation towards the National Development Planning System (SPPN) which so far have been implemented to produce the efficient development planning. This paper concludes that the GBHN presence will lead to the legal consequences of state administration and the rearrangement of the state administration itself.

Abstract Strategic vision and long-term view of upstream development plan is one of the key directives entrusted to Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) to secure sustainable production for the nation. The Sarawak Area Development Planning (SK ADP) is one such critical study aimed at identifying the inventory of hydrocarbon resources, potential outlook on projects' commercial viability, as well as shaping the portfolio mix strategy to deliver the long-term business growth. This SK ADP study also keeps Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) well-positioned to steer Petroleum Arrangement Contractors (PACs) in developing and maximizing the full value of resources. This includes outlining opportunities to collaborate in project sequencing and cost optimization efforts. This paper illustrates the methodology, process workflow and key takeaways from the SK ADP study. The SK ADP study was conducted to establish a development blueprint based on overall available resources and projects' first hydrocarbon sequencing for the short-term and long-term development planning in the Sarawak region. The key objective of the study was to identify the most optimum and technically viable integrated development plans, whilst also incorporating the agreed commitments and existing limitations inclusive of technology application and replications. The process workflow consisted of identifying six focus areas to further enhance the Sarawak Portfolio, maximizing the assets' value and ultimately meeting overall supply and demand requirements. These focus areas act as guiding principles to mature the overall development plan for the area, relating to generating an inventory basket, facilities optimization, clustering strategy, technology evaluation, contaminant management and risk assessment. Cross-discipline integration plays a pivotal role in shaping the final roadmap for each of the focus areas coupled with holistic validation. With the SK ADP in place, it can function as a key reference document and kept updated with the latest developments to maintain PETRONAS' agility in the pursuit of both business sustainability and continuous growth in the region. Key deliverables from this ADP can be turned into actionable insights for field implementation and help boost overall resource management in the region for long-term production delivery. This paper presents the best practices adopted for region level development planning in alignment with strategic vision for business growth.

Brexit and America First are undeniable examples of a return to state-based politics. This article examines the dichotomy of identity and the state, which has given rise to imperial nostalgia. Nevertheless, the decisions of the elites and the dominant majorities may lead to the fragmentation of the United Kingdom. London has shown itself to be weak in the face of China, Russia, and India and it is not clear if, over the long term, it will be influential in the global political struggles in which the latter countries are challenging the power of the United States. There are even doubts as to whether the United Kingdom can articulate a strategic alliance with the United States, due to their respective differences over relations with China and Russia. The dispute for world hegemony is also being challenged by the forces of surveillance capitalism, which not only threatens regional cooperation and immigration, but also the ecosystem and the very future of the species.

The inability of the national long-term development plan (RPJPN) to consolidate different programs between one President and the next President, results in unsustainable development plans. So there is a desire to revitalize the outlines of the state's direction (GBHN) as a guide to national development that was once able to integrate national development planning in the past. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the GBHN, because the concept of GBHN in the past is not necessarily relevant to the current state administration system, especially the implications of the GBHN on the authority of the MPR. The future GBHN systematics will be followed up with the RPJM and the regional mid-term development plan (RPJMD) in lieu of the five-year development plan. To strengthen the legality of GBHN as a development planning document, the MPR Decree on GBHN must be interpreted as a fundamental norm, so that if the President deviates from the GBHN, then the President can be impeached. This means that the position and function of the MPR and the Constitutional Court (MK) need to be reconstructed, that is, the MPR is given the authority to submit impeachments and execute MK Decisions related to impeachment of the President in violation of the GBHN, while the Constitutional Court has the authority to examine and adjudicate requests for impeachment. Thus, it is believed that development planning can run in an integrated and sustainable manner.

This research deals with the relationship between Development Planning and the performance of enterprises in the MFI sector in the city of Yaound. Based on the Pearson chi-square test performed on 46 EMFs observed over the period 2011-2014, our results show that the performance of these firms is not independent of how they formalize their decisionmaking processes in the form Development plan. In addition, the study notes that firms that choose to make proactive and rational decisions as a management model, places more emphasis on planning. However, the use of a formal plan for long-term planning allows for good performance of MFIs. This is why we suggest to these companies the use and implementation of the development plan and the making of advance decisions for growing their business.

<p><em>Planning is carried out not only to solve the problems at hand, but also to plan ahead in terms of improving school performance or to anticipate changes and demands of the times. In general, schools prioritize physical development, even though non-physical development is much more important, because one of the main goals of schools is to produce quality students. Planning can be distinguished based on the time period, including long-term planning, medium-term planning, and short-term planning. In this regard, strategic planning plays an important role in achieving the targets of education providers in the midst of competition. The focus of this research is the school development plan at SDIT Al-Ihsan Baleendah. This study aims to capture the school development plan carried out by SDIT Al-Ihsan Baleendah.

Syrian crisis resulted in at least 6.1 million externally displaced people 983,876 of whom are in Europe while the rest are in neighbouring countries in the region. Turkey, due to its geographical proximity and substantial land borders with the country, has been the most popular destination for those fleeing Syria since April 2011. Especially after 2012, a sharp increase in the number of Syrian refugees arriving in Turkey was witnessed. This has triggered an exponential growth in academic and public interest in Syrian population. Numerous reports mostly based on non-representative sample surveys have been disseminated whilst authoritative robust analyses remained absent. This study aims to fill this gap by offering a comprehensive demographic analysis of the Syrian population. We focus on the demographic differences (from 1950s to 2015) and demographic trends (from 2015 to 2100) in medium to long term, based on data from World Population Prospects (WPP). We offer a comparative picture to underline potential changes and convergences between populations in Syria, Turkey, Germany, and the United Kingdom. We frame our discussion here with reference to the demographic transition theory to help understanding the implications for movers and non-movers in receiving countries in the near future.
