    Parliamentary Action for Renewable Energy Brief Description The longer the world fails to act decisively on climate change, the higher the risks and the costs. All countries face these risks; yet the poorest who have contributed the least to the problem have the least capacity to manage them and adapt. Renewable energy development is pivotal for meeting the growing energy needs of developing countries in a clean, secure and sustainable way and is therefore central to climate change mitigation efforts. However, significant barriers continue to keep renewable energy from successfully competing in the open marketplace with fossil fuels. Most notably, unfavourable legal and regulatory frameworks create considerable risks for public and private investment in renewable energy development. To achieve universal access to energy, and to deliver on the global targets that have been committed to, political support must be amplified and urgent legislative and financial reforms are required. Members of Parliament can help generate that political will and have a key role to play in supporting the development of policy and regulatory frameworks for renewable energy. In this project, UNDP chose to cooperate with Climate Parliament. UNDP is uniquely placed to build the capacity of developing country parliaments on energy issues, and to strengthen links between MPs and the UN system. The European Commission through its support to SE4ALL, the Africa-EU Partnership, the EU-African Infrastructure Trust Fund, the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund and its National Indicative Plans has clearly identified the development of renewable energy as a priority. The Climate Parliament is an international cross-party network of legislators, dedicated to preventing climate change and promoting renewable energy.

  • Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana's Adinkra Cloth
    Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana’s Adinkra Cloth by Allison Joan Martino A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Raymond A. Silverman, Chair Professor Kelly M. Askew Assistant Professor Nachiket Chanchani Professor Emeritus Elisha P. Renne Allison Joan Martino [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-1252-1378 © Allison Joan Martino 2018 DEDICATION To my parents. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the summer of 2013, I was studying photography and contemporary art in Accra, Ghana’s capital. A conversation during that trip with Professor Kwesi Yankah changed the course of my research. He suggested a potential research project on adinkra. With adinkra everywhere in Ghana today, research possibilities seemed endless. Adinkra appealed to me from my interest in studying Akan visual and verbal arts, a research area nurtured during an ethnopoetics course that Professor Yankah taught as a visiting scholar at Michigan in 2011. That conversation led to this project. Soon after that meeting with Professor Yankah, I took an exploratory research trip to Kumasi. Professor Gilbert Amegatcher, who has a wealth of knowledge about Akan arts and culture, traveled with me. He paved the way for this dissertation, making key introductions to adinkra cloth makers who I continued to work with during subsequent visits, especially the Boadum and Boakye families. My sincerest thanks are due to Professors Yankah and Amegatcher for generating that initial spark and continuing to support my work. Words cannot express my gratitude to the extended members of the Boakye and Boadum families – especially Kusi Boadum, Gabriel Boakye, David Boamah, and Paul Nyaamah – in addition to all of the other cloth makers I met.

The blending facilities are innovative financial instruments that use EU development grants to leverage additional funding from European and regional development financial institutions and the private sector. They help implement key infrastructure and private sector support projects that are critical to sustainable development in partner countries worldwide. AfIF, which is funded mainly from different programmes under the European Development Fund (EDF), but also under the EU's Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI), provides various kinds of grant funding for development projects: • Investment grants, to finance specific project components (with, for example, social or environmental added-value) or a percentage of the total project cost (thereby reducing the amount of debt for the partner country).

Dedication This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father, Captain Charles Sheales and my mother, Barbara who both engendered in me a love of knowledge and an appreciation of other cultures and peoples. 2 Abstract Between May 1816 and March 1820 the paramount chief of Asante Osei Tutu Kwame Asibey Bonsu (r.1800-24) received no less than nine representatives of the British and Dutch trading companies at his capital Kumase. Of these, seven wrote detailed accounts of their experiences but the first and the most historically important was Mission from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantee published by Thomas Edward Bowdich (1791?-1824) in 1819. Besides containing vivid descriptions of Bowdich’s experiences as the Conductor of the first British Mission it is also supplemented with maps, diagrams and ten colour illustrations, the majority of which depict everyday activities and important locations in Kumase. The largest illustration, entitled ‘The First Day of the Yam Custom,’ differs significantly from the others, however, in respect of its size and its subject matter, as it documents the appropriation of conventions, material culture and symbolism by Asante, Islamic and European representatives during an important diplomatic ceremony.
