CHEC Annual Report 2020

The 2020 Annual Report was published by CHEC in July 2021. It covers all that CHEC was involved in throughout the year that the world was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. In the year that CHEC successfully managed mangroves projects, felt the impacts of the pandemic in our bees and pollinators project and became a virtual organisation, there is certainly a lot to catch up on.

CHEC Annual Report 2019

2019 was a busy year for CHEC. It was decided that CHEC would produce a journal “Human Ecology 30: Mangroves” in time for the 2020 CHOGM in Kigali, Rwanda, which has now been completed. It will be available for the postponed CHOGM in 2021, if COVID-19 allows. CHEC also applied for a special grant from the Commonwealth Secretariat to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the London Declaration. On 19 November 2019, at the Royal Over-Seas League, CHEC held the 2nd Zena Daysh Lecture “Our Changing Climate: Do we need a shift in the way we learn?” and celebrated its 50 year history.

There were also huge steps forward for the Bee and Pollinators Project as well as the complete revamp of the CHEC website as well as the usual publications of our Human Ecology Journal, CHEC Points and many article websites.

CHEC Annual Report 2017

2017 was spent on planning for the next year’s CHOGM. This was done by attending various meetings in London, which formed part of the build up to the Summit. That said, some worthwhile events, relevant to CHEC, took place in the wider Commonwealth such as the Annual Conference of the Council for Education in the Commonwealth (CEC) held at the University of Namibia in Windhoek and the Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting held in Kampala, Uganda. As the Commonwealth Secretariat encourages accredited organisations such as CHEC to get involved and indulge in networking and partnership, events such as these can be of great importance to small organisations and we benefit from that.
