Princeton University

hartered in 1746 as the College of New Jersey — the name by which it was known for 150 years — Princeton University was British North America’s fourth college. Located in Elizabeth for one year and in Newark for nine, the College of New Jersey moved to Princeton in 1756. It was housed in Nassau Hall, which was newly built on land donated by Nathaniel FitzRandolph. In 1896, when expanded program offerings brought the College university status, the College of New Jersey was officially renamed Princeton University. The Graduate School was established in 1900.

Fully coeducational since 1969, Princeton for the past academic year (2016-17) enrolled 8,181 students — 5,251 undergraduates, 2,781 graduate students and 149 special students. The ratio of undergraduate students to faculty members (in full-time equivalents) is 5 to 1.

The University provides its students with academic, extracurricular and other resources — in a residential community committed to diversity — that prepare them for positions of leadership and lives of service in many fields of human endeavor.

Living up to its unofficial motto, “In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity,” Princeton University has educated thousands of individuals who have dedicated their lives to public service, including two U.S. presidents (Woodrow Wilson and James Madison); hundreds of U.S. and state legislators (the House of Representatives, for example, has housed a Princeton alumnus every year since it first met in 1789); and 44 governors, including 11 New Jersey governors.

Each year, many members of the student body, faculty, staff and local alumni volunteer in community service projects throughout the region. The University as an institution supports many service initiatives.

As a global research university, Princeton seeks to achieve the highest levels of distinction in the discovery and transmission of knowledge and understanding. At the same time, Princeton is distinctive among research universities in its commitment to undergraduate teaching. Interdisciplinary work is vital to Princeton and is reflected in a full spectrum of academic programs.

Princeton’s central campus consists of approximately 9.2 million square feet of space in more than 190 buildings on 500 acres. The University also accommodates more than 1,000 units, totaling more than 1.2 million square feet, of rental housing for graduates and faculty/staff. The University owns more than 1,040 acres in Princeton, more than 860 acres in Plainsboro Township and more than 520 acres in West Windsor Township.

The University, with approximately 6,700 benefits-eligible employees, is one of the region’s largest private employers. It brings close to 850,000 visitors to the region each year.

Prindex

PRINDEX

PRIndex, the Global Property Rights Index, is a collaborative initiative between Global Land Alliance and the Overseas Development Institute (with staff from both organisations working on the project alongside expert consultants), that aims to develop and roll out the first global measurement of peoples’ perceptions of their property rights. PRIndex is looking to establish a global and national-level baseline of perceptions of land tenure security, which will provide the grounding for a global conversation and movement around securing the property rights of billions who currently lack them.

Probe International

Probe International is an independent environmental advocacy group that fights to stop ill-conceived aid, trade projects, and foreign investments. But more importantly, we work to give citizens the tools they need to stop these projects – the rule of law, democratic processes, and honest and transparent accounting.

Probe International goes where few others tread. We resurrected the doctrine of odious debts to challenge the enforceability of today’s Third World debts; we argue that markets can work to improve people’s living standards and protect their environment when they are decentralized, competitive, and governed by the rule of law; we maintain that state-to-state aid has undermined political accountability and promoted a culture of corruption in both the donor and receiving nation and should be abolished; we have warned for the past decade that carbon credit schemes will threaten Third World environments; and we think the best way to protect the environment is to entrench and enforce the individual and collective property rights of citizens.

Procuradoría Agraria de México

La procuración de justicia para los hombres y mujeres del campo no es una invención o preocupación nueva; tiene sus antecedentes en la época colonial, cuando el Protector Fiscal era responsable de pedir la nulidad de las composiciones de tierras que los españoles hubieren adquirido de indios, en contra de las cédulas reales y ordenanzas o con algún otro título vicioso.

En 1953, por decreto Presidencial se integró la Procuraduría de Asuntos Agrarios, con el objetivo de asesorar gratuitamente a los campesinos a petición de parte, a los solicitantes de tierras y aguas, y a los campesinos que hubieren sido dotados de las mismas, en los problemas jurídicos, administrativos, etc., que se suscitaran con motivo de sus gestiones o de la defensa de sus legítimos intereses.

Como resultado de las Reformas al Artículo 27 Constitucional y la promulgación de la Ley Agraria, se creó la Procuraduría Agraria, como un Organismo Descentralizado de la Administración Pública Federal, con personalidad jurídica y patrimonio propios. Se encarga de asesorar a los campesinos en sus relaciones jurídicas y orientarlos respecto de sus derechos y la forma de ejercerlos.

Program on Forests

PROFOR

Well-managed forests have the potential to reduce poverty, spur economic development and contribute to a healthy local and global environment.

Projet Régional d'Appui au Pastoralisme au Sahel

PRAPS

Objectif du projet  : L’objectif de développement (ODP) est «d'améliorer l’accès à des moyens et services de production essentiels et aux marchés pour les pasteurs et agropasteurs dans des zones transfrontalières sélectionnées et le long des axes de transhumance dans les six pays du Sahel, et d’améliorer la capacité de ces pays à répondre à temps et de façon efficace en cas de crises pastorales ou d’urgences ». De cette façon, le projet proposé soutiendra l'amélioration de la productivité, la durabilité et la résilience des moyens d'existence pastoraux, comme une priorité dans la Déclaration de Nouakchott sur le pastoralisme. L'ODP sera atteint grâce à une combinaison d'investissements stratégiques, de renforcement des capacités et de dialogue politique. La population pastorale comprend toutes les personnes (actives ou non de tous âges) qui sont membres d'un ménage pratiquant l'élevage qui: (i) obtient au moins 90 pour cent de ses besoins en aliments pour animaux dans la végétation naturelle et (ii) tire au moins 50 pour cent de ses revenus de l'élevage. La population pastorale comprend toutes les personnes (actives ou non de tous âges) qui sont membres d'un ménage pratiquant l'élevage qui: (i) obtient 10 % ou plus de ses besoins en aliments pour animaux à partir des résidus de cultures et (ii) tire au moins 50 pour cent de son revenu des activités de culture. Zone du projet Le PRAPS couvre 6 pays d'Afrique de l'ouest et centrale : Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritanie, Sénégal, Niger et Tchad. Ces pays illustrent des zones de concentration du PRAPS principalement situées en zone sahélienne avec quelques incursions en zone saharienne et soudanienne. Elles sont l’expression des itinéraires majeurs de transhumance dans le Sahel. À l'intérieur de cette zone de concentration, chaque pays a identifié des zones de concentration spécifiques liées aux axes majeurs de transhumance inter-frontaliers.

Promotion of Indigenous and Nature Together

POINT

POINT (Promotion of Indigenous and Nature Together) was established in March 2012. It is started as a response to the lack of organization led by “Indigenous Peoples” working for Indigenous Peoples’ issues in Myanmar. In the past, only the religious organizations are the strong civil society working for its related indigenous people’s needs of humanitarian and development assistance to some extent. Therefore, the organization POINT was formed in order to fill the gap of promoting the rights of indigenous peoples along with increased awareness on environmental related knowledge.


After 2010 election, with the new government’s development plan for the country, most of indigenous peoples’ land once the civil war areas are marked for special economic zones, mega dam, mono cropping such as rubber plantation, Gold Mining, Coal, High way road, Deep Sea Port, etc. Thus, indigenous communities are those who will have either positive or negative impacts from the development projects that come alone with peace process in Myanmar. Hence, POINT is working together with indigenous communities so as to fulfill rapidly for the awareness raising to Indigenous communities on UNDRIP and FPIC and other right based approach to development mechanism as well as to advocate and raise the concern of people to the government in relation to sustainable development and natural resource management.


Mission


“Indigenous Peoples in Myanmar have rights on their existence and their roles on sustainable development initiatives is recognized and ensured at national, regional and international level.”


Objectives


  • To promote awareness on the rights of IPs in Myanmar
  • To engage sustainable development initiatives in promoting natural environment of indigenous territories
  • To advocate the right based approach to Development specifically for IPs in Myanmar
  • To establish national network of IPs in Myanmar

PRS Legislative Research

PRS

PRS Legislative Research (PRS) seeks to strengthen the legislative process by making it better informed, more transparent and participatory. Through its work, PRS seeks: 


  • To provide independent and non-partisan, research support to Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) across party lines on all legislation and policy debates in the legislature
  • Track the functioning of legislatures and legislators by releasing detailed data and analysis
  • Devise means by which citizens are more aware and engaged in the policy making process.

PRS was founded in 2005 as an independent research initiative. The initiative was incubated in the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi, which is a leading Indian think tank. With the intellectual and institutional support of CPR, PRS has been able to build and deepen its engagement with legislators, media and citizen groups to strengthen the legislative process. Recently, the initiative has been institutionalised as a not-for-profit Section 25 Company, the Institute for Policy Research Studies. 


The work of PRS was initiated with a grant from Ford Foundation, and subsequently by Google.org. Currently, the work of PRS is supported by a number of Indian institutions and individuals. 


PRS tracks the functioning of the Indian Parliament and works with MPs from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha across political parties and MLAs from various states. PRS provides a comprehensive and credible resource base to access Parliament-specific data, background information on Parliamentary and governance processes and analysis of key legislative and policy issues. 


PRS aims to deepen and broaden the legislative process by providing MPs with the necessary data and analysis for debates in Parliament. This is done by synthesising feedback from a range of stakeholders to provide MPs with comprehensive information on an issue. The aim is to complement the knowledge base and expertise that already exists in the government, citizen’s groups, businesses, and other research institutions. 


PRS publishes concise analysis of Bills introduced in Parliament, background research notes on issues of national importance, statistics, graphs and data analysis on Parliament activity and legislation. Besides this PRS holds interactive sessions for the exchange of ideas on key policy issues between MPs and an expert in the field during Parliamentary session. 



PRS aims to increase public engagement in the legislative process and on issues of national importance. This is done by providing information on policy issues, legislative analysis and parliamentary processes in the public domain and through collaborative activities with citizens groups and the media.  The PRS Legislative Assistants to Members of Parliament (LAMP) Fellowship is a platform for young Indians to have a high-impact engagement with the policy-making process at the national level by working with MPs. 


The website is updated daily on Parliament’s activities and legislative news. Engagement with citizens is facilitated through the PRS Blog, Twitter and Facebook pages. Workshops are held for journalists on tracking the activities of MPs and MLAs. In addition, PRS provides inputs to the press and electronic media on the legislative agenda in Parliament, as well as data on legislative performance. Members of the PRS team are often approached to contribute columns to provide a perspective on various key Bills.

Raptor Research Foundation

RRF

The Raptor Research Foundation (RRF) is a non-profit scientific society whose primary goal is the accumulation and dissemination of scientific information about raptors.

Following those horrific decades from the 1930s to the 1950s when most folks shot and poisoned raptors as “good-for-nothing chicken-hawks”, bird of prey populations were next subjected to a barrage of chemical abuses ranging from both the direct and indirect effects of pesticides and industrial by-products, e.g. organochlorines and organophosphates, polybrominated biphenyls, heavy metals and rodenticides. Unable to reproduce their numbers, several raptor species, e.g. peregrine falcons and bald eagles, teetered on the brink of extinction in the early 1970s. But it was not all bad news – there were also people out there who cared, i.e. falconers, academics, educators, rehabilitators, government biologists. And together, they organized an “army” to help birds of prey. That army today is called the Raptor Research Foundation (RRF).
