i dag begynte man nesten å gråte
av værmeldinga


takk for alt

Lev farlig -dropp tastelåsen

Til alle dere som morer dere over NetCom Venner-reklamene
der det koster nesten ingenting å dumme seg ut

Jeg begynner på A, har andre bokstav G
og mottar de fleste av landets lommeoppringninger

En dag skal jeg gi ut bok

uvant luksus

når man endelig har fått kjøkkenvifte
glemmer man selvsagt å skru den på
hver jævla gang man lager mat

Capacity Building
Must embrace 3 aspects to be effective:
-Human Resource Development: it’s about giving people the understanding and the skills, the access to information and knowledge, I order to allow them to perform successfully. Motivating people, bringing positive attitude, approaches to responsibility and productivity.
-Organizational Development: it promotes and sustains collective activity. It deals with structure and practices, defining how things get done.
-Institutional Development: Takes care of the legal and regulatory changes that have to be made in order to enhance the institutional capacities.


Communication Skills
It is the process of giving and receiving information. It is important that it gathers:
-Listening skills;
-Presentation/Interaction skills;
-Marketing skills


Community
The local group of households that have interests or bonds in common (values, resources, needs). Most of urban communities are socially diverse. That as to be taken in attention.


CSO
Civil Society Organizations, wide concept that includes both NGO’s and CBO’s.


NGO’s
Non-Governmental Organizations, are non-profit organizations usually associated with supporting a social cause. Often raise funds in northern countries, to support the southern ones.


CBO’s
Community Based Organizations, differ from NGO’s in a way that they are not cause-specific. They work exclusively for the interests and needs of a particular community.


Devolution
Transfering the decision making powers to a lower level of governance. For example, from central to the local government.


Decentralization
Transfering the responsibility to lower levels of governance. Can be done without transferring authority, and just sharing responsibilities.


Social Inclusion
Is reached when people can access all the institutions and the assets of the city.


Empowering
Giving authority to an institution or organization. Including peope that are outside the decision making process, into it.


Enabling
Providing resources and knowledge that will allow institutions and organizations to exercise their responsibilities effectively and efficiently.


Engagement
Deliberate process of dialogue with others. It is needed in order to built a platform of mutual confidence for further dialogue.


Governance
It is the process of making decisions and monitorising their implementation. It should always recognize, respect and engage all the actors envolved and affected by the decisions that are taken.


Innovation
Requires willingness to experiment and to learn, often from mistakes.


Leadership
It requires skills, valuing the rest of the team and taking the responsibilities. Leadres must always inspire confidence and have credibility.


Learning Networks
Within a network, members can access the combined resources without the obligation of being physically close together. Learning networks allow people to learn together, exchange experiences and learn with each others.


Livelihoods
It is the assemblage of all the assets and resources upon which households sustain their existence and development.


Mediation
Mean of resolving disputes. An alternative to the use of costly legal processes to solve conflicts.


Monitoring
Process of collecting, analysing and evaluating information. In order to measure performances, progress or change.


Planning Aid
It is a system of voluntary provision done by planners, of free professional advice to groups that cannot afford to pay for it.


Poverty
-Absolute Poverty: when individuals and households cannot fulfil their basic needs. World Bank’s standard is of 1dollar a day.
-Relative Poverty: more complex. It depends upon culturally determined standards. It is also about vulnerability, marginalization, absence of safety nets and social capital, lack of urban services and exposure to environmental and social degradation.


Urban Poor
It is where the poor live in cash economies with only marginal non-monetary supports.


Rural Poor
The majority has access to basic products of subsistence agriculture and social traditional networks and supports.


Security of Tenure
It is essential to the sustainability of any urban development process. If the household or enterprise has some doubt concerning its rights to the land or property, on which it is housed, they will never care for it or invest for it.


Slum Upgrading
The progressive improvement of physical/social/economic environment of a settlement, just for the benefit of the existing residents. First principle of effective upgrading is that households must be given security of tenure to their land and property. To ensure the sustainability of physical infrastructure, investment in civil works should also be complemented by community development programmes, enhancing social cohesion and organization.


Spatial Planning
Study field that is concerned with the connections between places. It seeks to promote not only economic development, but also territorial cohesion.


Stakeholders
Persons or organizations that have an interest in a policy or area.


Sustainable Development
-Economic Sustainability: Ability to make local/ regional resources to productive use, for the long-term benefit of the community.
-Social Sustainability: Capacity of the intervention to promote equitable rights over the natural, physical, economic assets that support the community’s livelihood.
-Ecological Sustainability: Deals with the impact of urban production on the health of the city-region, and the global carrying capacity.
-Physical Sustainability: Concerns the capacity of an intervention to upgrade the liveability of buildings and infrastructures for city dwellers.
-Political Sustainability: Implies the democratization and participation of local civil society in all areas of decision making.


Territorial Cohesion:
Aims to promote balanced development across a territory, that can in some cases be transnational.
