Executive Summary Background 70% of countries in the region have a low utilization of past allocations In May 2018, Program Finance assessed corporate absorption rates across the Global Fund portfolio. Against the target Key Performance Indicator of 90%, the assessment highlighted that the Western and Central African (WCA) countries are below target. While some countries were very close to meeting the KPI, many of the countries in WCA were far off: Eleven Countries are between 70-90%; and Six countries are below 70% (Mali, Chad, Liberia, Congo, Mauritania, Gabon) The assessment suggested that there are potential opportunities to improve portfolio performance and therefore grant absorption of countries within the Western and Central Africa region. It also pointed out that some of the reasons for the low absorption are DISEASE LANDSCAPE specific to the region and not sufficiently understood to enable the development of effective solutions.

However, acquiring this knowledge can be useful for future predictions towards improved governance for sustainable development. In this study, we analyzed the spatial–temporal charac- teristics of vegetation greenness, and identified the possible relationships with climatic factors and vulnerable plant species across Africa.

  • Dodoma, Tanzania and Socialist Modernity
    The Rationalization of Space and Time: Dodoma, Tanzania and Socialist Modernity The categories of space and time are crucial variables in the constitution of what many scholars deem as modernity. However, due to the almost exclusive interpretation of space and time as components of a modernity coupled with global capitalism (Harvey 1990; Jameson 1991), discussions of a socialist space and time as a construction of an alternate modernity during the 60s and 70s—in particular across the Third World—have been neglected. Julius Nyerere’s project of collectivization, or ujamaa , in Tanzania during this period is a prime example of an attempt to develop the nation-state outside of the capitalist format. While it would be interesting to explore the connections Nyerere had with other socialist Third World countries, like China, within the international context, and their attempts at nation-building, this paper will focus on an analysis of the Tanzanian government’s decision in 1973 to move the capital of the country from the Eastern port city of Dar es Salaam to the more centrally located Dodoma. Although the Tanzanian government never completed the majority of the buildings analyzed in this paper due to a lack of funds and a diminishing political will, the exhaustive blueprinting and documentation does provide a glimpse into the conception of an African socialist modernity. The questions of primary importance are: How did moving the Tanzanian capital from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma embody Nyerere’s vision of socialist African development? Or more specifically, how did the socialist urban planning of Dodoma fit into the greater project of ujamaa and rural development? And finally, how was the planned construction of a new urban capital an attempt at a definition of socialist space and time? 1 Space, Time, and Homo Economicus In his seminal work, The Condition of Postmodernity , David Harvey explains why the categories of space and time are constantly cited as the primary way to understand a transformation in a human being’s relationship with his or her surroundings.
