Aboriginal Peoples Television Network(APTN) is the first and only national Aboriginal broadcaster in the world, with programming by, for and about Aboriginal Peoples, to share with all Canadians as well as viewers around the world. The launch of APTN on September 1, 1999, represented a significant milestone for Aboriginal Peoples across Canada; for the first time in broadcast history, First Nations, Inuit and Metis people have the opportunity to share their stories with the rest of the world on a national television network dedicated to Aboriginal programming. Through documentaries, news magazines, dramas, entertainment specials, children's series, cooking shows and education programs, APTN offers all Canadians a window into the remarkably diverse worlds of Indigenous peoples in Canada and throughout the world. 1, record 5, English, - Aboriginal%20Peoples%20Television%20Network

Financing of local government roads is intrinsically linked to fiscal decentralization. The financial situation of local governments with regards to their roads is not much different from that which plagues many main roads agencies in most developing countries, just worse. There is total dependence on central government transfers for maintenance funds and on donors for capital works. Current transfer mechanisms do not encourage local resource mobilization and cost-sharing. While the lack of local resource mobilization to stretch recurrent allocations is a cross-sectoral issue of fiscal decentralization, it is fair to say that the new generation road fund has opened up a window of opportunity for financing of both local government roads and community roads which was previously not there. 2, record 8, English, - local%20resource%20mobilization
