During the sixth session of the Executive Board in Geneva from June 1 to June 9, 1950, it was reported that some difficulties had been encountered in the establishment of a regional office for Europe. Six member states had not replied to the request sent them on the subject, seven had expressed reservations, six had sent in negative replies, and only eight had indicated their approval. It was also proposed that rules of procedure of the Assembly be changed to permit the participation in discussions of representatives of the Executive Board in either plenary or committee meetings. During the biennial revision of the list of non-governmental organizations with which WHO maintained official relations, a total of eighteen were retained. The Executive Board also agreed that, while WHO was not an organization for sending supplies to governments, it was nonetheless true that supplies were occasionally indispensable to enable a government to carry out a specific program. A total of $100,000 had been thus distributed to Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Finland, India, Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan, Monaco, Portugal, Thailand and Yugoslavia for the control of malaria and leprosy, the improvement of nursing care and similar activities.

Female offenders are distinctly different from male offenders, and present with their own gender-specific needs and issues both in and out of the correctional setting. Most approaches to Coping Mechanisms for female offenders are currently based on research involving males and approaches designed for males. Inquiry regarding the gender-specific needs of female inmates as they pertain to treatment, reentry programs, and Coping Mechanisms is necessary so professionals can better understand how to serve this population. This study investigated the Coping Mechanisms Adopted by Women ex-offenders in Nyeri County, Kenya. The study specifically investigated the effects of not addressing the challenges identified for women returning from prison in Nyeri County especially challenges connected to housing, employment, relationships, drug, and substance abuse as well as mental health after incarceration. This was a qualitative study adopting a phenomenological design. The site and respondents were purposively selected with snowballing being used to select the respondents to the point of saturation. This study made use of 41 women ex-convicts, 3 FGDs, and 9 key informants. Data were collected by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. Results indicated that currently, prison is negatively viewed by the community; this is primarily because of the isolation of prisoners and whatever happens behind the bars. The government should involve other sectors such as the churches, the media, schools, and Non- Governmental Organizations in educating the masses in order to ease the re-entry of ex-convicts

The Police as the largest uniformed law enforcement agency in Poland (more than 100,000 functionaries) with strictly hierarchical command structure is capable of entering into cooperation with external entities including non-governmental organizations. NGOs are all entities which are not public administration organs or units and which operate on a non-profit basis. A characteristic feature of an NGO is the lack of links to the public authorities. In Poland the status of NGOs is regulated by the Public Benefit and Volunteer Work Act of 2003 which introduced an extended definition of non-governmental organizations as entities engaged in public interest and charitable activities (ngo.pl, 2018). The paper presents the subject matter related to the cooperation of the Polish Police with non-governmental organizations with respect to their statutory tasks, determines the place of NGOs in the security system and draws conclusions and recommendations regarding the cooperation.

Some initiatives on green economy have taken place in Nepal, albeit mainly in the forms of dialogues and seminars on the subject. The National Planning Commission, with support of the Poverty Environment Initiative Programme, has organized a few discussion programmes on the subject in recent years. Different non-governmental organizations and the private sector have also organized dialogues on the subject. Among others, these dialogues and seminars have helped spur the debate on what a green economy means for Nepal, which are the sectors that could potentially contribute to a green economy and hence need to be promoted, and what roles different stakeholders should play in Nepal’s pursuit of a green economy. Majority of the people living in Nepal are dependent on agriculture and forestry for their livelihoods. These sectors have not contributed much to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The state of industrial development in the country has not been to the desired extent, and therefore, GHG emissions thereof are very minimal. That is not to say, however, that Nepal is free of environment-related problems. Environmental degradation has been ever increasing; urban population is constantly on the rise and environmental problems are rising commensurately; modern agriculture and unsustainable forestry management practices in many cases are adding to environmental woes; among others. Given that the world is increasingly resorting to a green economy path, Nepal needs to adopt green economy policies to be competitive in the world market. Hence, there is a need to have organized structures to steer the debate on green economy approaches that are applicable in the Nepalese context. Many sectors in Nepal, such as agriculture and forestry, are already green. Moreover, Nepal is yet to enter into the industrialization phase. Therefore, it is relatively easier for the country to take a greener approach to industrialization and development than for many other countries that need to revisit their traditional approach. Nepal can take the initiative of going green by focusing first on three major sectors: agriculture and forestry; infrastructure and energy; and tourism.

This qualitative case study article explicated the perspectives of the stakeholders regarding the urbanization of heritage properties, specifically the old, walled area of Intramuros in the city of Manila with respect to the construction of the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Bridge (or the bridge). This study begins with a documentation analysis involving the collection of researches related to the subject and in-depth interviews with the different stakeholders, specifically the national and local government, the private sectors and the host community in Intramuros and Binondo. The case study approach is incorporated in the study to discern the issues arising from the subject site, while a thematic analysis is used as the most suitable technique to analyse the findings. The outcomes reveal the different viewpoints of the stakeholders concerning the matters in constructing the Filipino–Chinese Friendship Bridge between Intramuros and Binondo. In this context, authorities such as the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should establish regulations that seek to protect and conserve the different heritage properties, as well as balance the demands for rapid urbanization. Due to the urban development, the integrity and significance of heritage properties are being compromised, which may result in the degradation of the local properties’ identity and culture.
