The program is funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and provides in-country support and living and assignment support allowances to successful applicants during their period overseas. With program expansion, 400 AYADs will be mobilised each year. The next Intake will focus primarily on trades based and Vocational Education and Training (VET) assignments.

PEACEKEEPERS’ MEMORIAL PROJECT
On December 19 2008, the Australian Peacekeeping Memorial Project (APMP) unveiled the design for a peacekeeping memorial to commemorate those Australians who have served their country – some of whom who have made the ultimate sacrifice – on peacekeeping missions around the world. A site has been approved for the new memorial at the southern end of Anzac Parade, Canberra; however, the APMP needs to raise a further $2 million before construction can begin. The APMP hopes to see the memorial completed by September 14 2009 – Australian Peacekeepers’ and Peacemakers’ Day. Those who have served Australia in the ADF, AFP or government organisations on peacekeeping missions can join the APMP to support the construction of the national memorial. A 'Peacekeeper Bear’ helps to raise funds.

Accelerating action against Child Labour (ILO)
http://www.ilo.org/global/About_the_ILO/Media_and_public_information/events/hague/lang--en/docName-- WCMS_126752/index.htm
Amid growing concerns over the impact of the economic downturn, the International Labour Office (ILO) warned in a new study that efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labour are slowing down and called for a “re-energized” global campaign to end the practice.
In its quadrennial Global Report on child labour, the ILO said that the global number of child labourers had declined from 222 million to 215 million, or 3 per cent, over the period 2004 to 2008, representing a “slowing down of the global pace of reduction.” The report also expressed concern that the global economic crisis could “further brake” progress toward the goal of eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016.

http://www.undp.ps/en/hdr/index.html
Palestinian women walk near Israel's barrier near Ramallah in the West Bank
Human security is a pre-requisite for development, and its widespread absence in the occupied Palestinian territory has greatly impeded progress for the people living there, according to this new report. The Palestinian Human Development Report 2009/10, written by an independent team and sponsored by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), explores different facets of human security – economy, food, health, environment, political, personal, community – from the perspective of establishing freedom from want, freedom from fear and freedom to live in dignity.

Data will also be available in other languages, with an initial 330 indicators translated into French, Spanish and Arabic.

Media Guidelines for the Portrayal of Disabilities (ILO)
http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_emp/---ifp_skills/documents/publication/wcms_127002.pdf
How people with disabilities are portrayed and the frequency with which they appear in the media has an enormous impact on how they are regarded in society. Portraying people with disabilities with dignity and respect in the media can help promote more inclusive and tolerant societies and stimulate a climate of non-discrimination and equal opportunity. These are intended to provide practical advice to the media on how to promote positive, inclusive images and the fair and accurate portrayal of women and men with disabilities at all levels of the economy and society. They are intended for people working as editors, journalists, broadcasters, producers, programme makers and presenters. They are also relevant to people working as web editors, and interactive multimedia products.
