A shopkeeper in a clothing and shoe store in Hamar Weyne Market in the Somali capital Mogadishu. The 6th of August marks two years since the militant group Al-Shabaab withdrew from Mogadishu following sustained operations to retake the city by the Somali National Army (SNA) backed by African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troops. Since the group's departure the country's capital has re-established itself and a sense of normality has returned. Buildings and infrastructure devastated and destroyed by two decades of conflict have been repaired; thousands of Somalis have returned from abroad to invest and help rebuild their nation; and foreign embassies and diplomatic missions have reopened.

Mbyo Village is a reconciliation village, established as part of Rwanda's "Unity and Reconciliation" initiative to foster national unity and collective progress. These villages represent one of several projects initiated by the Rwandan government in response to the 1994 genocide. Within these villages, survivors of the genocide live alongside repentant ex-perpetrators, promoting coexistence and healing.

2024 marks the 30th observance of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, one of the darkest chapters in human history. More than one million people – overwhelmingly Tutsi, but also Hutu and others who opposed the genocide – were systematically killed in less than three months.

A dolphin leaps through the waters off Atauro Island, Timor-Leste. According to joint research conducted in 2008 between the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the Timorese Government, the deep water just off the Timor-Leste coast is a ""global hotspot"" for cetaceans. The seasonal east-west migration of dolphins, porpoises and whales, confirms what several cetologists have long suspected - that the deep oceanic waters off Timor-Leste, along the Wetar and Ombai Strait, are a major migratory route between the Pacific and Indian Ocean for marine wildlife.

For some time to come the poorer countries of the world will have to rely on agriculture to raise their living standards and supply the capital they need to create industries. Agricultural production must therefore be increased. This requires tractors, fertilizers, new and better seeds, vast irrigation schemes, land reforms.

Headline Development of Primary Production in Singapore

Caption Description The Government of Singapore, through its Economic Development Board and with the assistance of the United Nations and several of the related agencies under the UN Development Programme (UNDP), has embarked on an intensive and rapid industrialization programme. Although agriculture and fisheries form only a small part of Singapore’s economic activity, special attention is being given to the development of this sector of the economy, particularly in poultry, pig and fish farming. The programmes are so successful that some primary products are now not only available in sufficient volume to satisfy local requirements but also to serve a growing export trade in neighbouring countries.
The UNDP, with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as Executing Agency, is assisting the Government through the establishment of the Pig and Poultry Research and Training Institute at Sembawang, Singapore.
Research in aquarium fish breeding, a fast growing commercial field, is also being carried out by the Singapore Government’s Primary Production Department. Han Chow Fong, a senior fisheries officer, examines a fish in the aquarium.
