Precision airdrop allows aircraft to accurately deliver supplies while minimizing the risk and reducing the possibility of enemy detection of the intended DZ. Precision is achieved through improved mission planning software and steerable canopies. There are currently two types of precision airdrop under development. The first type of precision airdrop is a single system called AGAS (Affordable Guided Airdrop System) that uses in-service round cargo parachutes. ... The second type of precision airdrop is the Precision Guided Air Drop System (PGADS). 2, record 2, English, - precision%20airdrop

Current airdrop resources are complex systems that are tied to known high threat choke points, such as : Aerial Ports of Debarkation, Seaports of Debarkation, Drop Zones and Ground Lines of Communication. Airdrop deliveries can reach supply points in days or weeks making it almost incapable of responding to a dynamic operational and tactical environment. 3, record 2, English, - precision%20airdrop

Les largages de précision permettent de réduire les risques et les possibilités de détection de la ZL par l'ennemi. La précision est obtenue par l'utilisation d'un logiciel de planification de mission amélioré et de voilures permettant la manœuvre. Deux types de largage de précision sont actuellement en développement. Il n'y a actuellement qu'un seul système qui permet le premier type de largage de précision, soit le système peu coûteux de largage de précision (AGAS - Affordable Guided Airdrop System) [...] Le deuxième type de largage de précision se nomme système de direction pour largage de précision (PGADS - Precision Guided Air Drop System). 3, record 2, French, - largage%20de%20pr%C3%A9cision

The United Nations Development Program(UNDP) launched the MicroStart programme in February 1997. The purpose of the programme is to build a new generation of microfinance institutions(MFIs) that have transparent track records and solid institutional and financial performance, which enable them to reach poor clients while operating on a sustainable basis. MicroStart also aims to improve the practice of microfinance within the UN system by establishing guidelines, providing technical assistance, and promoting training and learning opportunities that incorporate best practice in the field. The programme has been developed in response to demand from UNDP Country Offices for a practical and operational product to assist them in the delivery of quality programming to a well-defined niche in the evolving field of microfinance. 1, record 4, English, - MicroStart

Le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD) a lancé le programme MicroStart, en février 1997. L’objectif du programme MicroStart est de bâtir une nouvelle génération d’institutions de microfinance (IMF), qui font montre de transparence, possèdent de solides capacités institutionnelles et sont financièrement performantes – des caractéristiques qui leur permettent d’atteindre les clients défavorisés de manière durable. MicroStart vise également à affiner la pratique de la microfinance au sein du système des Nations Unies. Il propose ainsi des orientations, fournit une assistance technique, favorise la formation et l’apprentissage grâce à l’intégration des pratiques de microfinance ayant fait leurs preuves sur le terrain. Le programme est né suite à la demande des bureaux régionaux du PNUD qui nécessitaient un appui pratique et opérationnel pour les aider à exécuter des programmes de qualité, ciblés sur un créneau bien défini du secteur en pleine expansion qu’est la microfinance. Depuis son lancement en 1997, MicroStart a été déployé ou est déployé dans vingt pays, et des subventions ont été octroyées à 68 institutions de microfinance (IMF). 1, record 4, French, - MicroStart
