Hello, and welcome to  Reports from Developing on China Radio International. I'm Qi Zhi in Beijing.

In this edition:

The World Food Programme is assisting thousands of people in hurricane-ravaged Haiti.

All resort hotels will reopen in Myanmar in October.

The first Africa Carbon Forum has been held in Dakar, Senegal.

Stay tuned.

*************************
UN agencies are assisting thousands of Haitians in the wake of two successive storms in recent days.

The World Food Programme is delivering biscuits, water and other commodities to thousands left homeless by the deadly storms, which washed away roads and caused severe flooding.

UN Radio's Dianne Penn asked the WFP representative in Haiti, Myrta Kaulard, about the difficulties they are facing in helping victims.

Now let's hear some other news from the developing world.

*************************
All resort hotels lying in three beach areas of Myanmar will reopen next month despite a drop in tourism over the past few months as a result of the May cyclone.

The beach resorts of Ngapali, Ngwe Saung and Chaungtha escaped damage from the disaster.

Hotel staff are being mobilized to prepare to serve visitors and domestic flights to the areas from Yangon are being scheduled.

Although it has been over three months since Cyclone Nargis smashed Myanmar, tourist arrivals during the period fell 90 percent compared with previous years. The drop in tourism has had a major impact on all tourism-related businesses.

*************************
The first Africa Carbon Forum was held in Dakar, Senegal with the specific target of helping African countries improve their levels of participation in the Clean Development Mechanism.

The mechanism is an arrangement created under the Kyoto Protocol that allows 40 industrialized countries with greenhouse gas reduction commitments to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emissions reductions in their own countries.

As of late July this year, more than 1,100 projects have been registered as CDM projects. These projects reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 220 million tons per year.
