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.

Headline Development of National Institute of Apprenticeship in Costa Rica

Caption Description In 1965 the Government of Costa Rica embarked on a Seven-Year Plan to increase industrial activities and production. In 1965, the Government created the National Institute of Apprenticeship, as a semi-autonomous institute to design and implement a national industrial vocational training scheme. The Government aims at developing the Institute’s central technical services so that the latter may operate a pilot training centre, with a network of sub-centres throughout the country, in addition to organizing in-plant and apprenticeship training. The project is being carried out with the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and with International Labour Organization (ILO) as executing agency. Full responsibility for the continuation of the Institute will be assumed by the Government once UNDP assistance has come to an end.
