This project aims to modernize the Government of Peru's human resources management in the public service so that its public servants can deliver better quality public services to more citizens across the country.

The project provides the Peruvian National Civil Service Authority with the technical support required to improve its organization and internal management. Its purpose is to develop and support the implementation of the processes and tools required by selected ministries, regional governments and municipal governments. Project activities include: (1) standardize the job descriptions, classifications and qualifications; (2) apply competitive recruitment, performance appraisal and merit-based promotion policies; (3) develop and implement policies on gender equality, multiculturalism and non-discrimination; (4) improve programs and processes to deliver government public goods and services more effectively; and (5) implement systems to continuously monitor and adjust this new human resources management system.

March 2025 – The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate due to years of civil war, resulting in displacement, severe protection risks and restricted humanitarian access despite the recent fall of the Assad regime.

The proposed project includes the resiliency improvement of a three span CPS culvert bridge structure which was deemed to be in poor structural condition. The culverts cross the South Branch of the Raisin River at McConnell Ave, which is a main arterial road adjacent to the 401 highway. The plan is to replace/improve the three combined corrugated steel pipes (CSP) that make up this structure with a single CON/SPAN concrete culvert. The goal is mitigate the risk of flooding in the area by improving the structural resiliency to stand up to the increase of severe weather events that Canada is experiencing(1). Galvanized CSP culverts are estimated to have a service life of up to 50 years(2) but a study from the Geotechnical Service Unit, Michigan Department of State Highways and Transportation evaluated results show that 10% of CSP culverts between the ages of 10-14 years old showed signs of being serious corrosion(3). To improve the resiliency of the structure, a CON/SPAN concrete

The project will enhance 180m of the McLaughlin Road entrance sidewalk to a 3m wide multi-use trail will provide cyclists with a safer, protected entrance to campus that is not shared with bus transit routes. Road paint markings will be applied to refresh crosswalks and to identify lanes that are shared with automobiles. These measures will create safe and seamless active transportation connections throughout the campus.
