Title: Sustainable electricity supply scenarios for West Africa / International Atomic Energy Agency. Description: Vienna : International Atomic Energy Agency, 2016. | Series: IAEA TECDOC series, ISSN 1011–4289 ; no. 1793 | Includes bibliographical references. Identifiers: IAEAL 16-01041 | ISBN 978–92–0–104316–0 (paperback : alk. paper) Subjects: LCSH: Electric power production — Africa, West. | Electric power consumption — Africa, West. | Nuclear energy — Economic aspects — Africa, West. | Renewable energy sources — Africa, West. FOREWORD The West African region is richly endowed with diverse energy and mineral resources. Although these resources can support meaningful industrial activity, and thus promote sustainable socioeconomic development, the region lags behind many developing parts of the world in overall human development. For instance, 13 out of the 15 countries are classified as least developed countries and 60% of the total population of 300 million live on less than one US dollar per day. Against this background, access to energy, and in particular to electricity, is of prime importance for continued and sustainable socioeconomic development in the region. This publication is an outcome of a study carried out by the IAEA Member States in West Africa in 2012 and 2013 on future options for sustainable electricity supply in the region. The study was supported by the IAEA Technical Cooperation Project RAF/2/009: Planning for Sustainable Energy Development, in particular through the training of experts in participating Member States in the use of IAEA energy assessment tools, which were then used to conduct the study, through the provision of expert support for conducting the national and regional analyses, and through the provision of overall coordination and support for the preparation of this publication. The objectives of the study were to conduct model supported national electricity demand and supply analyses and to develop scenarios of cost optimal expansion strategies for electricity generation. The study specifically addressed the problem of very limited electricity access in the region and disparities in the availability of modern energy services between and within the countries, with the objective of working towards universal access to electricity. Models of individual national electricity supply systems were developed and incorporated into a larger model on the regional level to allow for an analysis of electricity trade flows between countries, of impacts of regional integration of electricity transmission on the national choices of electricity generation technologies, and of national and regional electricity supply scenarios. The findings of both the national and the regional analyses are presented here. These findings can serve as a starting point for future higher level discussions and can facilitate the development of strategic plans for building the required electricity infrastructures in West Africa. The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were A.I. Jalal and M. Tot of the Division of Planning, Information and Knowledge Management.

  • Teenage Pregnancy and Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Behavior in Suhum, Ghana1
    European Journal of Educational Sciences, EJES March 2017 edition Vol.4, No.1 ISSN 1857- 6036 Teenage Pregnancy and Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Behavior in Suhum, Ghana1 Charles Quist-Adade, PhD Kwantlen Polytechnic University doi: 10.19044/ejes.v4no1a1 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/ejes.v4no1a1 Abstract This study sought to investigate the key factors that influence teenage reproductive and sexual behaviours and how these behaviours are likely to be influenced by parenting styles of primary caregivers of adolescents in Suhum, in Eastern Ghana. The study aimed to identify risky sexual and reproductive behaviours and their underlying factors among in-school and out-of-school adolescents and how parenting styles might play a role. While the data from the study provided a useful snapshot and a clear picture of sexual and reproductive behaviours of the teenagers surveyed, it did not point to any strong association between parental styles and teens’ sexual reproductive behaviours. Keywords: Parenting styles; parents; youth sexuality; premarital sex; teenage pregnancy; adolescent sexual and reproductive behavior. Introduction This research sought to present a more comprehensive look at teenage reproductive and sexual behaviours and how these behaviours are likely to be influenced by parenting styles of primary caregivers of adolescents in Suhum, in Eastern Ghana. The study aimed to identify risky sexual and reproductive behaviours and their underlying factors among in- school and out-of-school adolescents and how parenting styles might play a role.

  • Sankofa: Cultural Legacies and Afro-Futures – Syllabus
    Sankofa: Cultural Legacies and Afro-Futures AFRS 3000 (3 credits) Ghana: Globalization, Cultural Legacies, and the Afro-Chic This syllabus is representative of a typical semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester. Course Description This seminar revolves around a central question: how are visions of the present and future of Africa crafted through a thoughtful interrogation of its past? The central motif that undergirds this seminar is Sankofa, a Ghanaian concept that encourages a strong engagement with the past in order to ensure informed and sustained progress into the future. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi" ("It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.") After framing an African epistemological relation to Africa’s multiple presents and futures in light of the concept of Sankofa (Module 1), we will revisit our the complex political history of Ghanat in order to create a framework for understanding the cultural, socio-political, and economic particularities of Africa, Africans, and diasporic Africans (module 2). Students will, subsequently, rethink the political particularities of Ghana and the continent in light of the concept of Sankofa (module 3). In the concluding module, we will use the concept of Sankofa to engage with one of the most timely frameworks for thinking Africa today: Afrofuturism. Students will explore the cultural hybridity, socio-political vitality, and economic dynamism of Ghana in light of indigenous cultural particularities, negotiations with Western modernity, and contemporary cultural creolization.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have

  • Vibrations of Kormantse in the African Diaspora in the Americas E. Kofi
    Vibrations of Kormantse in the African Diaspora in the Americas E. Kofi Agorsah Portland State University Abstract: Resistance history in many parts of the New World appears to suggest the role of ancestral legacies or heritage of Kormantse (real or imagined) in empowering the enslaved, who passed through Kormantse, as they fought in the New World to define their power relations, restore justice, their traditional values and consolidate their achievements, successes and survival. It is speculated that the presence and participation of Kormantse descendants or their conjured spirits in both colonial or modern areas of the African Diaspora, provided the spirit of endurance, hope for victory over enslavement. Memories of Kormantse, archaeological sites and spiritual references appear to have guided and guarded Africans through the colonial experience as Kormantse sparked fear among enemies and raised pride and empowerment among the enslaved. Spiritual connections alone would drive many Africans, including those who were not necessarily “Kormantse”, to survive centuries of war against enslavement. This paper examines the extent to which historically visible structural features observed from a recent historical and archaeological investigation of historic Kormantse, Ghana, help explain these speculations, the possible processes involved and the “magical” impact of Kormantse on freedom fighting in the African Diaspora. Résumé: L'histoire de résistance dans beaucoup de régions du nouveau monde semble suggérer le rôle des legs héréditaires ou l'héritage de Kormantse (vrai ou imaginé) en autorisant asservi, qui a traversé Kormantse, car ils ont combattu dans le nouveau monde pour définir leurs relations de puissance, justice de restauration, leurs valeurs traditionnelles et pour consolider leurs accomplissements, succès et survie.

  • African Power Pools Regional Energy, National Power
    ecdpm’s Making policies work DISCUSSION PAPER No. 244 African power pools regional energy, national power Political Economy Dynamics of Regional Organisations in africa PEDRO By Alfonso Medinilla, Bruce Byiers and Karim Karaki February 2019 Summary Despite the continent’s natural resource endowment of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) suffers from huge deficits in the supply and distribution of energy. While there is a need for improved electricity generation capacity and transmission infrastructure within African countries, greater cross-border trade in electric power is a potentially cost-effective way of connecting excess capacity in one country or region with (peak) demand in another. This is why power pools were established in Central, Southern and Eastern Africa. Drawing on individual studies, this paper highlights the common objectives but quite different origins and challenges of these structures. Overall, the cases suggest that despite the initial, relative success of the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP), power pools across the continent are faced with: • a deficit in investment in generating and transmitting power nationally; • a lack of trust among states and willingness to liberalise markets; • dominance by national power providers in national politics and • the resulting preference for bilateral over regional agreements. The SAPP case highlights the important role that South Africa originally played though this has waned, while a lack of a real energy champion in the West and Eastern power pools appears to limit their immediate potential. Even as Ethiopia becomes an energy giant, it is not clear that this will lead to improved regional energy supplies through a power pool given the political preference for bilateral deals and connections.
