  • Accelerating the Implementation of Commitments to African Women
    DIRECTORATE OF INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION Press Release No: /2020 Date: 18 Nov 2020 Venue: Addis ABaBa, Ethiopia Slow progress in meeting commitment to 2020 as the year of universal ratification of Maputo protocol A two-day meeting convened to evaluate the status of the ratification, domestication and implementation of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, commonly referred to as the Maputo Protocol on Women’s Rights, has concluded with strong recommendations on how to accelerate actions on the commitment to African women. Described as a vanguard document at the time of its adoption in 2003, the Maputo Protocol remains one of the most progressive legal instruments providing a comprehensive set of human rights for African women. It translates Africa’s commitment to invest in the development and empowerment of women and girls, who constitute the majority constituent of the population. Convened by the African Union Commission Women, Gender and Development Directorate in collaboration with and the Gender, Peace and Security Programme of the AUC Peace and Security Department and the Solidarity for African Women’s Rights the meetings held on the 17-18 November 2020 brought together African Union Experts responsible for Gender Equality and Women’s Affairs; the Pan-African Parliament; Civil Society Organizations, women’s rights organizations, women’s movements and youth organizations to evaluate the progress achieved especially at the national level, in protecting and promoting the rights of women as encapsulated in the Protocol. In deliberating on the advancement of women’s rights, the meeting noted that across the continent, a number of countries have enacted laws against sexual and gender based violence as well as harmful cultural practices while others have established dedicated national machineries to promote and protect the rights of women.

Multi- Scalar Governance Sixteen years following Mozambique’s independence in 1975 and civil war (1975-1992), the government of Mozambique began to decentralize. The Minister of State Administration pushed for greater citizen involvement at local levels of government. Expanding citizen engagement led to the question of what role traditional leaders, or chiefs who wield strong community influence, would play in local governance.1 Last year, President Filipe Nyusi announced plans to change the constitution and to give political parties more power in the provinces. The Ministry of State Administration and Public Administration are also progressively implementing a decentralization process aimed at transferring the central government’s political and financial responsibilities to municipalities (Laws 2/97, 7-10/97, and 11/97).2 An elected Municipal Council (composed of a Mayor, a Municipal Councilor, and 12 Municipal Directorates) and Municipal Assembly are the main governing bodies of Maputo.

  • Sub-Saharan African Tripartite Workshop on Occupational Safety
    INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION Sub -Saharan African Tripartite Workshop on Occupational Safety and Health in the Oil and Gas Maputo Industry 17-18 May 2017 Points of Consensus Introduction 1. The ILO sub-Saharan African Workshop on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in the Oil and Gas Industry brought together tripartite delegations from Angola, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Gabon, Kenya, Mozambique and Nigeria and observers from the IndustriALL Global Union. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss and exchange good practices of improving OSH and to promote a preventative safety and health culture in the oil and gas industry in sub-Saharan African countries. Risks and challenges for workers’ safety and health in sub-Saharan Africa 2. The oil and gas industry is an important driver of economic growth in sub-Saharan African countries. Existing physical, biological, chemical and ergonomic hazards in the oil and gas industry are compounded by unfavourable climatic factors, which leads to heat stress that in turn increases the risk of workplace injuries and diseases. Psychosocial problems may result from working in remote base camps or on offshore drilling platforms for extended periods of time. Transportation to and from these sites can be extremely hazardous, especially if operations are located in or near conflict-affected areas. Excessive working hours and irregular working time arrangements have a negative effect on workers’ health, alertness and performance. 3. Consequently, a number of occupational fatalities, injuries and diseases have been reported yearly. In the absence of effective monitoring and reporting systems, the actual number of accidents and incidents is not known, but suspected to be higher.

  • Applying a Methodology of Production Potential Based on the Type of Soil and Climate: Mozambique
    The 22nd International Symposium on Alcohol Fuels – 22nd ISAF Applying a methodology of production potential based on the type of soil and climate: Mozambique Felipe Haenel Gomesa*, Rafael Aldighieri Moraesb, Edgar G. F. de Beauclairc a: Universidade Estadual de Maringá, PR, Brasil, [email protected] b: Nucleo Interdisciplinar de Planejamento Energético (NIPE), campus UNICAMP, Campinas, SP, Brasil, [email protected] c: Universidade de São Paulo, ESALQ, 13.418-900, Piracicaba, SP, Brasil, [email protected] Abstract The diversity of soil and climatic types existing in Mozambique involves a wide range of potential and land use limitations. The methodology used is based in Brazilian soil taxonomic system of classification and comparison between soil type and sugarcane productivity with a method developed by CTC – Sugarcane Technology Center where soil classes were subdivided into different types according to its characteristics, concepts and taxonomic criteria used in classification and based on commercial productivity of its databank with more than a hundred mills. Then, Brazilian System of Soil Classification were correlated with the |International Soil Classification System WRB-FAO. For climate characteristics, Köppen classification adapted was used. It consists in main types, which are represented by the letters A, B, C, D and E. These climatic types are defined criteria for temperature and rainfall. The objective was to draw up a map of potential production of sugarcane in Mozambique, using as basic information: soil, climate and areas with environmental restrictions. It was found that the regions with high and medium potential were the provinces located in the northern and central Mozambique, even using irrigation, due to the soil potential of these regions.

  • Testing Traditional Land Divisions on Rapa Nui
    Martinsson-Wallin and Wallin: Studies in Global Archaeology no. 20 SPATIAL PERSPECTIVES ON CEREMONIAL COMPLEXES: TESTING TRADITIONAL LAND DIVISIONS ON RAPA NUI Helene Martinsson-Wallin and Paul Wallin Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University, Campus Gotland, Sweden [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: The ceremonial sites of Rapa Nui, the ahu, are complex structures that incorporate and display a variety of distinctions and social relationships tied to different land areas that belonged to senior and junior groups. Such distinctions will be analysed via a Correspondence Analysis using selected ahu structures and connected variables. A detailed case study of two ahu in the La Perouse area will focus on the organisation of the variety of prehistoric material expressions connected to these. The aim is to show how habitus works in a local context at the individual organizational level. Through these studies we highlight the complex relationships involved in creating a milieu, in which actors of different groups carry out their practices when creating monuments and organising place. INTRODUCTION Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is geographically the most isolated island in the world (Figure 1). Yet it was found and populated by Polynesian seafarers in prehistoric times (Martinsson-Wallin and Crockford 2002: 256). Prior to archaeological investigations there were several ideas, generally based on genealogies, about when and by whom the island was originally settled. Since there are several versions of genealogical accounts, and their chronological reliability is uncertain, these traditions are difficult to use when discussing temporal issues (Martinsson-Wallin 1994: 76).
