Initial VRA Analysis Clause Samples

Initial VRA Analysis. The VRA analysis is a key component of the project planning phase, and is reported in the project proposal. Use the data recorded on the sides and bottom of the H-forms, as well as community discussions from the exercise to construct a narrative that describes issues and context raised by the meeting. Be sure to include: ▪ Composition of the meeting ▪ Common themes in the answers to the questions that make up the VRA ▪ Differences in perception between different sub-groups (eg: gender, livelihood type, etc) ▪ Other contextual information brought out by the VRA process Also, be sure to record the scores given by the community to the questions, and record them in a table such as the one provided.

Initial VRA Analysis. Vulnerability Reduction Assessment Reporting Form Scores Vulnerability of livelihood/welfare to existing climate change and/or climate variability. What is the impact of Drought, Flooding and Soil Erosion on your community? 3.6 Vulnerability of livelihood/welfare to developing climate change risks. What effect would it have on you and the community if it happened frequently? 3 Magnitude of barriers (institutional, policy, technological, financial, etc.) barriers to adaptation. What prevents you from adapting new measures to minimize the effects of Flood, Drought and Soil Erosion? 5.5 Ability and willingness of the community to sustain the project intervention Rate your confidence that this project will continue after the project period end. 5 V.R.A Score Average of above 10 4.3 Global Environmental Benefits (GEB) The Impact Assessment System indicator will be measured at the end of the project using the following components: Land Degradation (1) 50 acres of land to be sustainable managed by project (40 farmers to be involved in soil mitigation and soil fertility practices) (2) Approximately 10 acre of soil erosion prevented (3) 50 farmers employing minimum tillage, log barrier, terracing and vegetative barrier technique used to prevent land slippage.

Initial VRA Analysis. The initial VRA highlighted the potential for flooding, loss of crops, destruction of bridge and access-way for business and commuting citizens. The meeting was held with key stakeholders from affected areas in the community on Tuesday December 30, 2009. A total of 25 persons attended and the questions were asked and the responses counted and recorded by the STEA facilitation team. The questions were asked by the facilitator and the responses were counted from the show of hands and recorded by the facilitator’s assistant. The scores were tabulated and averaged and the results passed on to the CDC executive. Ability of individual farmers to deal with flooding from present rainfall patterns (250-380cm) 1 Ability of community to deal with increased flooding impacts from increased rainfall and stronger storms 1 Confidence of community support to sustain project after project period has ended 8 Ability of community to cope with climate change impacts of increased intensity of rainfall and flooding after project intervention 6

  • Quantitative Analysis Quantitative analysts develop and apply financial models designed to enable equity portfolio managers and fundamental analysts to screen potential and current investments, assess relative risk and enhance performance relative to benchmarks and peers. To the extent that such services are to be provided with respect to any Account which is a registered investment company, Categories 3, 4 and 5 above shall be treated as “investment advisory services” for purposes of Section 5(b) of the Agreement.”

  • Sampling and Analysis The sampling and analysis of the coal delivered hereunder shall be performed by Buyer upon delivery of the coal to Buyer’s facility, and the results thereof shall be accepted and used as defining the quality and characteristics of the coal delivered under this Agreement and as the Payment Analysis. All analyses shall be made in Buyer’s laboratory at Buyer’s expense in accordance with ASTM standards where applicable, or industry-accepted standards in other cases. Samples for analyses shall be taken in accordance with ASTM standards or other methods mutually acceptable to both parties. Seller shall transmit its “as loaded” quality analysis to Buyer as soon as possible. Seller’s “as-loaded” quality shall be the Payment Analysis only when Buyer’s sampler and/or scales are inoperable, or if Buyer fails to obtain a sample upon unloading. Seller represents that it is familiar with Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices, and that it finds them to be acceptable. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any significant changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices. Any such changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices shall, except for ASTM or industry-accepted changes in practices, provide for no less accuracy than the sampling and analysis practices existing at the tune of the execution of this Agreement, unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree. Each sample taken by Buyer shall be divided into four (4) parts and put into airtight containers, properly labeled and sealed. One (1) part shall be used for analysis by Buyer. One (1) part shall be used by Buyer as a check sample, if Buyer in its sole judgment determines it is necessary. One (1) part shall be retained by Buyer until thirty (30) days after the sample is taken (“Disposal Date”), and shall be delivered to Seller for analysis if Seller so requests before the Disposal Date. One (1) part (the “Referee Sample”) shall be retained by Buyer until the Disposal Date. Seller shall be given copies of all analyses made by Buyer by the fifth (5th) business day of the month following the month of unloading. In addition, Buyer shall send Seller weekly analyses of coal unloaded at Buyer’s facilities. Seller, on reasonable notice to Buyer, shall have the right to have a representative present to observe the sampling and analyses performed by Buyer. Unless Seller requests an analysis of the Referee Sample before the Disposal Date, Buyer’s analysis shall be used to determine the quality of the coal delivered hereunder and shall be the Payment Analysis. The Monthly Weighted Averages of specifications referenced in §6.1 shall be based on the individual Shipment analyses. If any dispute arises with regard to the analysis of any sample before the Disposal Date for such sample, the Referee Sample retained by Buyer shall be submitted for analysis to an independent commercial testing laboratory (“Independent Lab”) mutually chosen by Buyer and Seller. For each coal quality specification in question, if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards, the Independent Lab results will govern, and the prior analysis shall be disregarded. All testing of the Referee Sample by the Independent Lab shall be at requestor’s expense unless the Independent Lab results differ from the original Payment Analysis for any specification by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards as to that specification. In such case, the cost of the analysis made by the Independent Lab shall be borne by the party who provided the original Payment Analysis.
