Terms of Reference Objectives The purpose of the terms of reference is to commission a consultant to map and document Peacebuilding actors and initiatives in Plateau State. Background The Nigeria Stability and Reconciliation Programme (NSRP) is a five year DFID-funded programme managed by the British Council that aims to enhance efforts to manage violent conflicts in Nigeria and reduce the negative impacts of violent conflicts. NRSP aims to reduce violent conflict through four inter-related areas of work – each taking place at Federal, State and LGA-levels: Security and Governance: Strengthening the performance of - and public trust in - the way Nigeria manages violent conflict by helping the responsible organizations become more coordinated, participatory, inclusive and accountable. Economics and Natural Resources: Addressing grievances around employment and resource competition. Women and Girls: Reducing the impact of violence against women and girls and increasing their influence on peace building. Research, Advocacy and Media: Disseminating impartial, independent, expert research and analysis to assist Nigerian decision takers and policy makers develop and deliver policies to reduce violent conflict, at the same time supporting these actors as well as Nigerian media organizations to adopt conflict-sensitive approaches. The programme is being implemented in 8 states and at the national level. NSRP has its headquarters in Abuja and operates four regional offices in Maiduguri, Kano, Port Harcourt and Jos. NSRP has been coordinating with other development partners implementing peace building projects in target states. The objectives of the coordination are to promote synergy building and avoid duplication of investments and initiatives. In Plateau State, this coordination has been undertaken under the platform of the International Friends of the Plateau. of the consultancy The consultant will be required to:
maintenance and compliance requirements specified in the tender documentation. The designs provided as part of this assignment will therefore be regarded by the PM and potential Contractors as example designs, and final designs proposed by Contractors and tenders will be required to show modelling demonstrating similar performance. Note: land availability on all islands is severely limited, so designs will need to take into account the specific land envelope secured by Cook Islands Government for the purposes of this programme. Procurement of Contractor(s) In accordance with the process set out in the Strategic Project and Procurement Plan, requests for tenders (RFT) will be issued for each work package. Tenders will be received by an evaluation panel, the composition of which will be set out the Procurement Plan. Appointment of Contractors will be led by the Cook Islands Government, following a selection and approval process agreed to by the Project Steering Group. Civil engineering, foundations, building work, and electricity distribution and metering the Strategic Project and Procurement Plan, the PM will consider options to use either in-house or external providers of civil engineering expertise, building works, electricity distribution network upgrading, and household metering and cabeling. These contractors would work as part of implementation team, in parallel with and alongside PV-specialist firms who would focus primarily on the PV/diesel/battery infrastructure. Other specialist contractor roles are also to be investigated when the projects for Phase 2 (Aitutaki and Rarotonga) are confirmed. Other technical specialists shall be appointed by the PM from either “in-house” resources or by subcontract as and where required. Specialties may include civil and building works, and logistics and shipping. Cook Islands Government reserves to right to appoint from its approved Register of Trades/Services. Reporting The PM will prepare frequent progress reports and submit to the Project Steering Group for information, review, verification, and where necessary, decision making. The reports will summarise

AT: Regulations = Executive Only Regulation is a binding legal norm created by any state organ. Our evidence has intent to define -their “administrative agencies” evidence is just based on common perceptions. Orbach, Professor of Law, University of Arizona College of Law, 12 Barak, Yale Journal on Regulation, “What is regulation?”, , So what does regulation mean? We return to the starting point—the intuitive understanding of the word “regulation”: government intervention in the private domain or a legal rule that implements such intervention. The implementing rule is a binding legal norm created by a state organ that intends to shape the conduct of individuals and firms. The state organ, the regulator, may be any legislative, executive, administrative, or judicial body that has the legal power to create a binding legal norm. This general definition is broader than “restrictions,” “rules promulgated by administrative agencies,” “laws that serve interest groups,” and related common perceptions of the word “regulation.”
sight of the check (previously the local authority received notification when a DBS was issued). Priority has been given to local young people, private arrangements for individual international students and to students placed with previously unknown host families. Further priority has been given to the younger students (some as young as 11). As in previous years summer school students at language schools, most of whom were here for stays of 4-6 weeks, were visited once only at the school. Good liaison has been maintained with organisations, who generally report concerns promptly regarding people. The service is currently staffed by one part-time worker, supported by other social workers within the Fostering Service, with a ‘whole-team approach’ during busy periods. There is also a fostering social worker with specific responsibility for local privately fostered young people. The lead worker is about to retire and plans are afoot for changes within the team. The Fostering Service has welcomed social work students into the team, all of whom have been given the opportunity to work with privately fostered young people and their caers. THE COMING YEAR It is anticipated that numbers of new private fostering arrangements will remain broadly similar to recent years with no reports of any significant increases or decreases in numbers. Notifications from language schools are uncertain but likely to remain largely confined to the summer months. One local language school has recently decided to expand their business in order to accommodate under 16’s, an area in which they have not previously been involved. Referrals in respect of other young people, including local youngsters and international students here through private arrangements, are likely to remain relatively low and this mirrors the national picture, where very few local authorities have seen high numbers other than for international students. Local young people continue to remain a priority, as they are frequently vulnerable with parents either unavailable or unwilling to engage and we are aware that there may be because people are unaware of the notification requirements. These same young people are frequently on the periphery of care and in fact, it is ot uncommon for such young people to become accommodated. In Torbay, two local young people were subsequently accommodated this year. Assessments in relation to these young people are frequently complex and involve assessments of risk. Priority was given to raising awareness amongst health, education, probation service, police and social care professionals in order to ensure there is proper reporting of all private fostering arrangements.
Answer to – doesn’t include tax credits “Funding” includes tax credits Maryland 11 – Maryland General Assembly, Department of Legislative Services, “FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE – HB 1282”, 3-16, http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2011rs/fnotes/bil_0002/hb1282.pdf This bill requires a vehicle parking facility to allow a motorcycle to park in the facility on payment of any applicable charges if the facility is owned, operated, leased, or receives funding from the State or a political subdivision. The bill defines “funding” as any form of assurance, guarantee, grant payment, credit, tax credit, or other assistance.
Regulation – Binding Control – Aff “Regulation” are standards that influence conduct Orbach 12 – Barak Orbach, Professor of Law at the University of Arizona College of Law, “What Is Regulation?”, Yale Journal on Regulation, http://yalejreg.com/what-is-regulation/ The legal concept of “regulation” is often perceived as control or constraint. For example, the definitive legal dictionary, Black’s Law Dictionary, defines “regulation” as “the act or process of controlling by rule or restriction.”11 Similarly, The Oxford English Dictionary defines “regulation” as “the action or fact of regulating,” and “to regulate” as “to control, govern, or direct.”12 To many people, “control” connotes “restrictions,” although control may have other meanings. Regulation often imposes no restrictions, but enables, facilitates, or adjusts activities, with no restrictions. Examples of such regulations include the supply of roads, health and emergency services, public education and public libraries, welfare benefits, reliefs to victims of natural disasters and bailouts to failed institutions. Such services directly influence (or “adjust”) conduct of individuals and firms. In the abstract, all government actions supposedly influence conduct of individuals and firms, but not necessarily directly. For example, activities related to national defense and foreign policy tend to have only indirect influence on conduct of individuals and firms.13

Table 4: Torres Strait Prawn Fishery Assessment Summary of Issues, Conditions and Recommendations – March 2013 Issue Condition General Management Export decisions relate to the arrangements in force at the time of the decision. To ensure that these decisions remain valid and export approval continues uninterrupted, the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities needs to be advised of any changes that are made to the management arrangements and make an assessment that the new arrangements are equivalent or better, in terms of ecological sustainability, than those in place at the time of the original decision. This includes operational and legislated amendments that may affect sustainability of the target species or negatively impact on byproduct, bycatch, protected species or the ecosystem. Condition 1: Operation of the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery will be carried out in accordance with the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery Management Plan 2009 in force under the Torres Strait Fisheries Act 1984, and the Torres Strait Fisheries Regulations 1985. Condition 2: The Protected Zone Joint Authority will advise the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities of any intended change to the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery’s management arrangements that could affect the assessment of the fishery against the criteria on which Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 decisions are based. Annual Reporting It is important that reports be produced and presented to the department annually in order for the performance of the fishery and progress in implementing the conditions and recommendations in this report and other managerial commitments to be monitored and assessed throughout the life of the declaration. Annual reports should include: a description of the fishery, management arrangements in place, research and monitoring outcomes, recent catch data for all sectors of the fishery, status of target stock, interactions with protected species, impacts of the fishery on the ecosystem in which it operates and information outlining progress in implementing conditions and recommendations resulting from the previous assessment of the fishery (for a complete description of annual reporting requirements, see Appendix B of the ‘Guidelines for the Ecologically Sustainable Management of Fisheries - 2nd Edition’ Condition 3: The Protected Zone Joint Authority to produce and present reports to the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities annually as per Appendix B to the ‘Guidelines for the Ecologically Sustainable Management of Fisheries – 2nd Edition’.
measures may include, but should not be limited to, closed areas, move on rules or rotational zoning. Fisheries activity is closely linked to the international demand for trochus. The fishery has appeared to operate in a boom and bust fashion, with increased catches occurring when high prices of trochus can be obtained. Whilst this has allowed the fishery to recover from potential over harvesting in the past there is a risk that if high prices are sustained for an extended period stocks may not be able to recover. The TAC for the fishery is based on surveys conducted in 2009 in the eastern Torres Strait, which indicated that the population appeared to be stable compared to historic data, with densities similar to 1995 and healthy populations elsewhere (Murphy et al., 2010). The research noted that due to the highly cryptic nature of trochus there was low precision and therefore low reliability to detect even large changes in trochus densities. The research raised concern regarding the appropriateness of the trochus TAC and recommended introducing a trigger catch level of 100t (whole weight) with agreed management actions if this level is reached (Murphy et al. 2010) to mitigate risk of overfishing. Results of any stock assessments The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), taking into consideration the latest surveys along with the current catch levels of trochus, classify the fishery as not being subject to overfishing, but uncertain with respect to the overfished stock status classification (Woodhams et al. 2014). Results of any stock recovery strategies (if applicable) As the fishery is not considered overfished, recovery strategies are not applicable. Interactions with protected species Frequency and nature of interactions Due to the fishery being restricted to hand collection only, no interactions with protected species have been recorded or are considered likely. Management action taken to reduce interactions and results of such action Not applicable Impacts of the fishery on the ecosystem in which it operates Results of any Ecological Risk Assessments Due to the low level of effort in the fishery an Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) has not been conducted. Nature of impacts on the ecosystem Although an ERA has not been conducted for the fishery it could be envisaged that impacts on the ecosystem would be restricted to: Concerns about exploitation levels of target species; Concerns translocation of species via hull and anchor fouling; and Anchoring/mooring and other anthropogenic activities such as treading on reef top habitat.
