Mennad used a crudely fashioned silencer to shoot Baya.

Then there is the unnecessary debate about absorptive capacity.

Normally, the heat from a flue powers an absorptive chiller .

The Minister of Agriculture stressed the absorptive capacity of the sector.

The absorptive capacity of that provision has not as yet been explored.

Donors as well as recipients must ensure consistency between financing and absorptive capacity.

All of these actions should help increase the absorptive capacity for foreign capital.

When their absorptive capacities are reached, natural systems are liable to collapse into unproductive states.

Such initiatives could help to foster the development of skills and raise a country's absorptive capacity.

The continued confiscation of Palestinian lands by Israel has substantially undermined the agricultural sector's absorptive capacity.

The question is how to increase the absorptive capacity of the region and build a modern industrial base.

The system is cracking, but only because of the limits of its absorptive capacity, not because of its core principles.

Countries that benefit most from FDI are those whose domestic firms and institutions also benefit, and thus those that have the requisite absorptive capacity.

UNDP would use these resources for programme activities within its mandate, thus contributing to improving and strengthening absorptive capacities' and fostering an enabling environment.

It would contribute to improving and strengthening absorptive capacities, thereby assisting programme countries towards having the capacities necessary to assume ownership of their own development.

The involvement of local actors in peacebuilding policy making is also crucial to assist in ensuring a better match between assistance and local absorptive capacity.

Developing countries must be assessed severally, not collectively, to determine whether they have the system of governance and the absorptive capacity to benefit from increased levels of resources.

The proposed United Nations development system approach, led by UNDP, would entail identifying the absorptive capacity challenges as an integral part of the United Nations country programming process.

In addition, the characteristics of the host economy (level of development, absorptive capacity and market structure in individual industries) are also crucial to assessing the impact of potential investments.

In so doing, they are passing on to future generations the costs of today's unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and the excessive pressures on the absorptive capacity of the natural environment.

Since national capacity weaknesses eventually lead to unsustainable development interventions and hence wasted resources, donor support has begun to depend on a better understanding of absorptive capacity challenges in programme countries.

The same is true of foreign direct investment (FDI). Countries that benefit most from FDI are those whose domestic firms and institutions also benefit, and thus those that have the requisite absorptive capacity.

It is proposed that, during the CCA stage carried out by the United Nations country team (UNCT), UNDP utilize an effective diagnostic tool to assist in identifying underlying absorptive capacity constraints, as well as aid management weaknesses, across the board.

As was reflected in the Millennium Project report to the United Nations Secretary General of January 2005, despite investments in capacity development over the years, insufficient attention and resources have been given to underlying capacity constraints, specifically as they relate to absorptive capacity'.

While there has been a slight increase in the absorptive capacity of the operating and development budgets, the Government still lacks the capacity to meet donor requirements for the project documents and feasibility studies that are necessary for the release of donor funds.

Most of these resources were provided to UNCTAD projects in the 2001 2004 period 2,395,000, of which 83 per cent had been disbursed by mid 2005, a satisfactory high rate considering the war torn conditions of the economy and reduced absorptive capacity of Palestinian institutions.

It has also been observed that Viet Nam, with its high rates of literacy and numeracy, long experience with mass organizations and ability to mobilize people down to the village level, has sufficient absorptive capacity to continue moving forward in developing programmes and strategies for reducing poverty.

4. Also stresses the need for all Governments to ensure the necessary conditions, including the creation of transparent legal and regulatory frameworks, to facilitate the acquisition and development of technology, to enhance innovation capacity, to improve the absorptive capacity of local enterprises and to build up supply capabilities
