  • MKA Club Brochure PDF Version.Pub
    Healthy Youth Productive Lives Empowering youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS Malawi’s Mphamvu Kwa Achinyamata Clubs Youth: A Powerful Resource In 2006, the USAID-funded Malawi Teacher Training Activity (MTTA) created the Mphamvu Kwa Achinyamata (MKA) or “Power to the Youth” clubs, to support USAID efforts at promoting school-based HIV and AIDS prevention education in Malawi. This brochure highlights key aspects of the initiative, and profiles just a few of the many successful club activities underway throughout Malawi. The MKA school-based youth development clubs are built on the history of Malawi’s Edzi-Toto Clubs but provide dynamic invigoration of a school/community extra curricular format (clubs) to prevent and mitigate HIV and AIDS among people of all ages, particularly the youth. Clubs are mandated in their by-laws to include out-of-school youth, orphans and children with HIV and AIDS, stimulating community wide dialogue about youth development and HIV. Teacher, youth and community member training and empowerment for the clubs includes training in club formation, leadership skills and how to elect officers, facilitating club meetings and managing club activities, HIV and AIDS prevention, care and support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and others affected by AIDS. Club members have also received training in intergenerational dialogue techniques, advocacy and lobbying as well as in coordinating and collaborating with other implementing partners operating within their localities. All club activities and projects are selected,

  • A Critique of Neoliberalism: Alter-Globalization, Human Rights and the Genoa G8 Summit Xinyi Zhou Guangzhou Foreign Language School, Guangzhou 510000, China
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 300 2018 International Workshop on Education Reform and Social Sciences (ERSS 2018) A Critique of Neoliberalism: Alter-globalization, Human Rights and the Genoa G8 Summit Xinyi Zhou Guangzhou Foreign Language School, Guangzhou 510000, China. [email protected] Abstract. Critiques emerge as neoliberal globalization progresses. Alternative globalization movements continue to act transnationally to counter the consequences of neoliberalism. Drawing on the case of Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest with the focus on debt relief issue, this paper analysis how the alter-globalization movements affect the inclusion of principles of greater equality and democracy into the globalization process. The paper compares neoliberalism and alternative underpinnings, offers an overview of the Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest, and analyzes G8 debt relief approaches presented in the Genoa G8 Summit. The author finds that the Genoa Group of Eight Summit protests shed light on alternative globalization movements limited if important impact the promotion of human rights in the ongoing and unequal processes of globalization the world over. Keywords: Neoliberalism; Alternative Globalization Movement; Human right; Genoa G8 Group Protest; Debt Relief. 1. Introduction Alter-globalization movements are concerned with a critique of neo-liberal globalization and its multifaceted consequences. These transnational movements envision alternative forms of globalization by advocating their cause in many areas. As such alter-globalization movements are often misunderstood to propose a view that is against globalization more generally. This paper will argue, and in the case of the so-called Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest (GGESP), that alter-globalization movements offer a vision for globalization that is intended to drive principles of equality and greater participation in democracy instead.

  • Changing the Wind: Movements of Faith for Economic Justice
    Changing the Wind: Movements of Faith for Economic Justice Presented at the Faith and Progressive Policy: Proud Past, Promising Future Conference, sponsored by the Center for American Progress Wednesday, June 9, 2004 Jim Wallis Convener, Call to Renewal Editor, Sojourners magazine It was one of those warm spring days in the nation’s capital when the fresh promise of new possibilities seems, just for a moment, to defy the entrenched ways of Washington. Surrounded by the impressive vista of monuments and museums on the Mall, I stood behind a rough lectern on a make-shift stage, looking into the eyes of 1000 low-income people—mostly single mothers who had been on welfare. My job was to speak and my topic was hope. In a city where the currency is power, these poor Americans seemed a bit out of place. Not used to having much clout in their political system, you could tell they were feeling the energy that comes from just being together. They had come on buses from urban and rural communities to “lobby” the Congress for a new welfare reform bill—one that would effectively help people like themselves to escape poverty and move to self-sufficiency. I told them a story. I remember another group of people who wanted to change things meeting in a high mountain town in Mexico, 2,000 miles from Washington D.C. Two-hundred fifty Christian leaders from 50 countries (mostly from the Southern Hemisphere) were gathered for a whole week to ask how they could learn to do a new kind of “advocacy.” Having spent years doing service to the poor in their own countries, and now engaged in effective community development projects, they still saw the poor losing ground.

  • Government & Politics Corr
    1 CONCEPTUAL AND CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND Augustine Titani Magolowondo INTRODUCTION This book is about Government and politics in Malawi. The diversity of issues that are discussed in the subsequent chapters bears testimony to the complexity of this subject matter. The aim of this first chapter is twofold. First, as you may have probably experienced in our daily discourse, the terms Government and politics are often confused with other key terms such as state and nation. As a starting point, this chapter clarifies these related concepts, which are inherently connected but yet conceptually distinct. Second, the discussion in this chapter aims at providing the context within which politics and Government in Malawi operate. In this regard, I look at both the political history and key socio-economic characteristics of Malawi. Finally, I discuss challenges facing Malawi’s politics and Government today. WHAT IS POLITICS? The concept of politics is as old as Government itself. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher (384–322 BC) argued that ‘man is by nature a political animal’. What was meant is that politics is not only inevitable but also essential to human activity. In other words, wherever there are human beings, politics is unavoidable. However, much as Aristotle’s maxim has become almost indisputable among the students of politics, there is no consensus on what exactly is to be understood by politics. To appreciate the conceptual complexity of politics, let us consider for instance the 2000 constitutional amendment to Section 65 of the Malawi Constitution (popularly called the ‘crossing of the floor’ provision). This amendment was to result in any member of Parliament (MP) losing his/her seat should he/she join 1 GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS IN MALAWI any organisation whose objectives were deemed to be political in nature.

  • Losing an Empire, Losing a Role?: the Commonwealth Vision, British Identity, and African Decolonization, 1959-1963
    LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 By Emily Lowrance-Floyd Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey . Dr. Katherine Clark . Dr. Dorice Williams Elliott . Dr. Elizabeth MacGonagle . Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 6, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Emily Lowrance-Floyd certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 . Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Date approved: April 6, 2012 iii ABSTRACT Many observers of British national identity assume that decolonization presaged a crisis in the meaning of Britishness. The rise of the new imperial history, which contends Empire was central to Britishness, has only strengthened faith in this assumption, yet few historians have explored the actual connections between end of empire and British national identity. This project examines just this assumption by studying the final moments of decolonization in Africa between 1959 and 1963. Debates in the popular political culture and media demonstrate the extent to which British identity and meanings of Britishness on the world stage intertwined with the process of decolonization. A discursive tradition characterized as the “Whiggish vision,” in the words of historian Wm. Roger Louis, emerged most pronounced in this era. This vision, developed over the centuries of Britain imagining its Empire, posited that the British Empire was a benign, liberalizing force in the world and forecasted a teleology in which Empire would peacefully transform into a free, associative Commonwealth of Nations.

  • 1. Introduction 1. Malawi: a Multi-Ethnic Nation
    From: Dr. Willie Zeze RE: Abstract Submission – 2015 Religious Freedom and Religious Pluralism in Africa: Prospects and Limitations Conference DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION AND ETHNIC ORGANIZATIONS IN MALAWI - PRESERVING GOOD TRADITIONAL PRACTICES OR PROMOTING NEPOTISM AND TRIBALISM? Abstract Due to the advent of the 1994 democratic constitution particularly its enactment on Protection of human rights and freedoms: Culture and language, Freedom of association, Religion and beliefs, Freedom of assembly and Political rights, Malawi has witnessed mushrooming of tribal organizations, aiming at preserving the traditional African religious beliefs and African cultural traditions. The Chewa Heritage Foundation (Chefo) and the Muhlakho wa Alhomwe (MWA) among the Chewa and Lhomwe tribes respectively are among well-known ethnic organizations through which the traditional beliefs, cultural traditions and religions are enjoying a significant respect from members of mentioned-tribes. The democratic constitution has cleared a road for the establishment of these ethnic organizations. However, it seems activities of Chefo and MWA are inter alia promoting tribalism and nepotism, in addition to being used as campaign tools for some political parties. This article intends to assess and evaluate the role and the impact of the Chefo and MWA on preservation of good cultural practices and constitutional democracy in Malawi. The hypothesis is, in spite of preserving cultural practices as guaranteed in constitution, the tribal organizations need to be watchful so that they should not promote tribalism, nepotism and being used as campaign tools by Malawian politicians. 1. Introduction In order to appreciate how in their understanding the Democratic Constitution the Chewa Heritage Foundation and Mulhako wa Alhomwe in Malawi, revitalize, preserved and protect customs, values, beliefs and traditional practices it is necessary to understand a social- political history of Malawi.
