As a result, there is widespread insecurity, large-scale internal displacement, and refugee outflow to Sudan and Uganda, as well as largely deteriorated food security. International aid is often not reaching the desired results and restriction of movement as well as bureaucratic impediments cause problems and hamper reaching the neediest. Post Pandemic there is an increase in poverty, low employment opportunities, displacement of people due to host government policies, armed conflict, and no link of humanitarian response to development and resilience building as well as security threat for reduced access to the needy locations.

- The Thai government chose to align with Vietnam instead of India in creating the rice price agreement because it believed this move would build its international rice market dominance. By collaborating with Vietnam which exports the world's third-largest amount of rice Thailand can gain better pricing control and solve their joint problem of rising production expenses. Market prices could experience substantial changes through collaborations between Thailand and Vietnam who stand as the second and third-biggest global exporters respectively. The proposed agreement intends to reduce the financial pressure on farmers by boosting export prices since rice prices have stayed minimal for twenty years while production prices have increased. Thailand and Vietnam cooperate through this partnership to simultaneously boost farmer salaries and strengthen their market position in worldwide trade. Multiple elements explain why India is not part of discussions taking place between Thailand and…arrow_forwardIndicate two (2) future trends that in your opinion are likely to affect the procurementand supply management of rice for Singapore.

- Do you think Ms. Browne Sanders had the basis for a sexual harassment suit? Why? I believe that Ms. Browne Sanders did in fact have the basis for a sexual harassment suit because her claims of retaliation from management after coming out about the verbal abuse and sexual harassment from her superiors, to me, are proven by her being let go shortly after bringing them to light. Not only that, but the jury found her case compelling enough to award her the $11 million (Sandomir, 2007). Sexual harassment cases like this are hard to make due to the reliance on the credibility of those involved (the victim and the perpetrator), one of which has it in his best interest to deny the claims outright. This leaves the victim in a vulnerable situation where retaliation can occur, such as this, because of the “he said she said” nature of the issue. A study done in 2023 showed the decline of women who report their harassment from 66% the previous year down to 59% (Cox, 2023). This was…arrow_forwardDo you think Ms. Browne Sanders had the basis for a sexual harassment suit? Why? I think Ms. Browne Sanders had a valid basis for a sexual harassment suit against the New York Knicks and her coach. The jury found that she was harassed and that the Knicks retaliated against her for it. According to the New York Times article, the evidence used in court showed a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Thomas, and this created a hostile work environment for her. Sexual harassment cases often use circumstantial evidence rather than direct proof, as harassment usually doesn't leave much concrete evidence. The Employee Rights Attorney Group article explains that harassment is illegal if it changes an employee's work conditions, making it difficult to do their job. Browne Sanders’ case cleared this bar, as she lost her job after reporting the harassment. Her claims were credible because a jury determined that the Knicks organization failed to address the issue appropriately. Retaliation can also…arrow_forwardWhile the core responsibilities of a Training and Development Specialist are generally the same worldwide, there can be differences based on the location. In Mexico City, for example, the specialist may need to consider local labor laws, cultural norms, and business practices when developing training programs. They may also need to be bilingual, or even multilingual, to effectively communicate with employees. Additionally, they may need to have a deeper understanding of the local market and industry to tailor training programs accordingly. In contrast, a Training and Development Specialist in the U.S. may focus more on compliance with U.S. labor laws and regulations, and may not need to be as multilingual or have as deep an understanding of international markets. i need help understanding this more in detailarrow_forward
