How will the refugee surge affect the European Economy ? • Germany may spend as much at 8 billion euros this year and has projected an additional 0.5% of GDP per annum of public spending in 2016 and 2017 to meet initial needs of the newly arrived immigrants and to integrate them in the labour market • Austria has announced an additional 0.3% of GDP in 2016 and Sweden 0.9% of GDP in 2016. • Hungary, a major transit country into the Schengen area, has announced additional spending of 0.1% of GDP in 2015, to cover costs associated with the new flows of refugees. • Since 2011, the Turkish government has provided aid to Syrian refugees amounting to 0.8% of 2014 GDP ($US 7 billion) • The European Commission has announced additional funding of €9.2 billion to address the refugee crisis over 2015-16 (0.1% of EU GDP). • In the short run the additional public spending may act as a demand stimulus.

  Boreholes provide clean water for thousands | UNICEF Papua New Guinea

Search Close Search UNICEF Fulltext search Max Article Boreholes provide clean water for thousands When the devastating effect of the El Nino weather system reached its peak in Papua New Guinea around June 2016, the prolonged drought experienced since May 2015, had taken a visible toll on food crops. (...) Sixteen-year-old Bevelyn Moses was amongst thousands of school children who lost up to 200 hours of learning over six months in 2016. (...) Over 60 percent of the population does not use improved water supplies and less than 20 percent use improved sanitation facilities, leading to widespread open defecation in rural communities. The country is spending more on health care costs which could be avoided with the right investment in the WASH sector.

  Restoring childhoods in Afghanistan | UNICEF South Asia

., UNICEF Afghanistan, comforts a child in the Hairatan Health Center whose mother has brought him for routine immunization. “More than two thousand health facilities across the country are equipped with cold chain facilities to keep vaccines at the right temperature -- and that’s very good news as we recommit to eradicating polio, and other vaccine-preventable diseases in Afghanistan,” Sheema said. (...) In addition to being more cost-effective and climate-friendly, it keeps children healthy and they have more time for school because they do not have to spend hours fetching water – a practice that brings considerable risk, especially for girls. “Now that we have water taps and a reliable source of energy, our children spend their time learning and studying,” a grateful parent told Sheema.

I come from a country south of the Rio Grande, heir to a culture that is thousands of years old, the cradle of great civilizations, proud of its origins with all the races, responsible for its present and builder of its future. (...) Chairman, Peruvians keep fresh in the hard disk of our collective memory the horror of terrorism. We lost 25 thousand human lives during the 20 years of terrorism and paid the cost of more than 30 billion dollars that left the poor even poorer. (...) If all the countries of the region have declared our firm pacifist will, it makes no sense for us to continue spending on weapons the resources that we need to invest in the great and profitable enterprise of knowledge, investing in the minds of our people.

  Restoring Sudan’s forest cover, one tree at a time | Africa Renewal

By Sylvia Nabanoba and Vanessa Zola in Kosti, Sudan A thick rubber pipe snakes its way from Sudan’s White Nile River for over two kilometres, pumping its contents into a large reservoir in Al Jabalain locality, where thousands of saplings are growing.The tree nursery has a capacity to produce 200,000 saplings a year – the fruit of a partnership between the country’s forestry body, the Forests National Corporation (FNC), and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. (...) There are about a quarter of a million South Sudanese refugees in White Nile State, which has a population of over 1.7 million people. Nyakong, and thousands of women like her, frequently spend up to eight hours trekking to remote forest areas to forage for increasingly scarce firewood – a journey that leaves them vulnerable to sexual violence.

As governments increase their spending, they will ask us: “How should we spend this money? (...) On the contrary, most are literally thousands of years old. It’s the way the tools are used that is so innovative. (...)
