    Government of Saint Lucia Resettlement Action Plan Renewable Energy Sector Development Project
    (Project Implementation Unit ECMC Ltd Panorama Environmental, Inc., 2025) Project Implementation Unit ECMC Ltd Panorama Environmental, Inc.
    This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) outlines measures to address the physical and economic displacement resulting from exploratory drilling under the RESDP. The primary objective of the RAP is to ensure that the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are not left worse off and receive fair compensation for land, shelter, crops, and income loss, along with assistance for vulnerable groups. The RAP focuses specifically on the involuntary displacement of the PAPs due to the RESDP’s impacts. Voluntary land transactions are outside the scope of this RAP, however, are covered in Annex A “Voluntary Land Purchases and Leases Report”. The RAP is aligned with the World Bank's Operational Policy 4.12 (OP 4.12), titled "Involuntary Resettlement," and Saint Lucia's legal framework.

    Health and Family Life Curriculum Grades 7-8 New Edition
    (Ministry of Education and Youth, Jamaica, 2023) The Health and Family Life Education Team, Ministry of Education and Youth, Jamaica
    The purpose of this guide is to provide teachers with materials and resources to implement the Health and Family Life Education Curriculum. This guide builds on the foundation of the Regional CARICOM Framework for HFLE, which sets out the HFLE philosophy and standards for teaching and identifies the desired knowledge, skills and behavioural outcomes for students. Unit themes and the content of lessons are responsive to the many health and social challenges in Jamaica, including Character Education, HIV/AIDS, violence and substance abuse. The Guide thus provides schools and teachers with a concrete tool for HFLE implementation. Through the implementation of HFLE lessons in diverse school settings and communities, the goal is to have a positive impact on student health, which in turn, relates to school attendance and learning.
