I. Life expectancy at birth, world, more developed regions and less developed regions, 1950 1995, both sexes combined

(c) Regions with many least developed countries

a Excluding Japan which is included in more developed regions.

Of the 154 countries or areas in the more developed regions and the less developed regions, excluding the least developed countries, 134 reported statistics on population by sex and age at least once during the period 1995 2003.

b Excluding Australia and New Zealand which are included in more developed regions.

They developed national case studies, which give an overview of drought in these regions.

Other regions ranged between 15 and 68 , possibly reflecting the presence of some well developed urban areas and some poorly developed rural areas.

Concise country guidebooks and rapid screening tools have been developed in some countries and regions.

(f) Methodology for conducting the pilot in depth surveys and evaluation of potential units in different regions and subregions and their replication in other regions developed

The regional lists were originally developed independently without much concern about specifications used in other regions.

(c) Tests of the contents of heavy metals in foodstuffs in regions of intensively developed industries.

Such responses have been received from all regions of the world, from the developed and developing countries alike.

There is an outflow of capital from developing regions either to meet those rising costs or to be invested in the developed world, leaving those regions woefully short of capital for investment.

In the case of development groups, greater reporting of census data on school attendance was apparent among countries in more developed regions and the lowest among the least developed countries

Since 1995, at least 67 countries carried out time use surveys. This includes 33 countries in the less developed regions

Improvement of housing finance systems and schemes is seen as a priority in both the developed and the developing regions.

(f) Introduction of newly developed soil conditioners to those regions with limited precipitation, particularly the arid and hyper arid areas of north west China, the Sahelian States, west Asia and the Middle East regions

A number of regional and international processes have developed around different themes of sustainable forest management, reflecting particular priorities in specific regions.

Overall, Europe and Oceania were the regions where most States had developed guidelines for either mutual legal assistance or extradition or both.

The work of UNU INTECH focuses on the industrially less developed regions of Europe to identify the similarities and differences in the appropriateness of technology policy and systems of innovation between these regions and the developing world.

It also considered reports by developed country Parties on measures taken to assist in the preparation and implementation of action programmes of all regions.

To improve planning and harmonization of the various activities in specific regions, regional activity frameworks are being developed under the global programme against terrorism.

Mortality decrease has been truly global, but life expectancy has risen more rapidly in the less developed regions than in the more developed regions, so that the gap between the two narrowed from 25.6 years in the early 1950s to 12.1 years in 1990 1995 (figure I). Today, their life expectancies are 62.1 years and 74.2 years, respectively.

Some training manuals were too long for daily use and concise country guidebooks and rapid screening tools had been developed in some countries and regions.

These types of measures are particularly necessary in those countries or regions with least developed banking networks, which is usually the case in rural areas.

Unlike States with developed labour markets, we have concentrations of unemployment in some regions and difficulties in overcoming it because of the considerable local singularities.

Most countries in the less developed regions, excluding the least developed countries, also conducted a census during the same period. However, only about half reported vital statistics from civil registration systems with 90 per cent or better coverage.

In other parts, it doesn't. And then we have to be sensitive about how this technology can be developed and put into action in those regions.

Almost all countries in the more developed regions reported the number of deaths by cause, sex and age at least once during the period under consideration.

The COP is also requested to take into account that in most regions, the regional action programmes have developed priority themes in the form of networks.

In alternative development, UNODC has provided technical support in the key regions producing illicit drugs, developed and disseminated best practices and established partnerships with development agencies.

Such institutional capacity could be developed either in the Situation Centre or Current Military Operations Service by strengthening their capabilities in monitoring and assessing trends in conflict regions.

There may be a role for the CST in the standardization of the presentation of the data to be used in research inventories developed by regions or subregions.

These policies would be developed through the technical and financial support of projects to implement integrated networks and foster an exchange of experiences from different regions of the country.

UNDCP will also continue to support selected model programmes in the field of treatment and rehabilitation, transferring best practices developed in other regions, but also encouraging innovative local approaches.

In the developed regions, the focus is on rehabilitation of existing housing stock, provision of targeted subsidies, environmental factors in housing provision and monitoring and evaluation of policy implementation.

The secretariat should pursue this work, drawing as necessary on experiences of developing countries in other regions, and of the more successful least developed countries, deriving relevant policy lessons.

In most least developed countries, the poor are usually rural small scale subsistence farmers, as in sub Saharan Africa and other regions, or urban people engaged in the informal sector.

Meeting once a year, IAPWG alternates its meeting venues between the developed regions on the one hand and the developing countries, and countries with economies in transition on the other.

The project is developed in Colombia and Ecuador, in the regions of the Amazon, Caquetá, Guainía, Guaviare, Putumayo and Vaupes (in Colombia), and Sucumbios, Orellana and Nueva Loja (in Ecuador).
