  • Sierra Leone: Business More Than Usual
    Institute for Security Studies Situation Report Date issued: 8 November 2010 Author: Lansana Gberie1 Distribution: General Contact: [email protected] Sierra Leone: Business More Than Usual Introduction It is over three years since Ernest Bai Koroma, leading the All Peoples Congress (APC), became President of Sierra Leone, and less than two years to elections that will test both his popularity and the country’s ability to sustain its post- war democratic experiment. Koroma’s victory in 2007, which unseated the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) after it had steered the country through a brutal civil war to a peaceful democratic transition, was remarkable. It was only the second time in Sierra Leone’s history that a sitting government was defeated at the polls; and it brought to power a party that had introduced a one-party state in the 1970s, led the country to civil war in 1991, and was overthrown in a coup by junior officers in 1992. Since coming to power, Koroma’s government has appeared full of vigour and the past three years have been eventful. The government has completed a number of road reconstruction projects it inherited from its predecessor and has embarked on significant new ones. While still far from being satisfactory, the electricity situation in the capital, Freetown, has improved considerably; and on the whole the capital is far cleaner and more robust than it was previously. In addition, Koroma’s efforts to provide free medical care for lactating mothers and children under five are commendable. No less important, the government’s Smallholder Commercialisation Programme, which aims to assist peasant or subsistence farmers in the country with the resources and technical know-how to expand and commercialise their productive capital, holds immense promise.

  • Amref Health Africa in the USA 2017 WE ARE an AFRICAN-LED ORGANIZATION TRANSFORMING AFRICAN HEALTH from WITHIN AFRICA
    ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORT Amref Health Africa in the USA 2017 WE ARE AN AFRICAN-LED ORGANIZATION TRANSFORMING AFRICAN HEALTH FROM WITHIN AFRICA We strengthen health systems and train African health workers to respond to the continent’s health challenges: maternal and child health, non-com- municable and infectious diseases, access to clean water and sanitation, and surgical and clinical out- reach. Our approach is community-based and makes the people we reach partners, rather than just beneficiaries. Amref Health Africa ANNUAL REPORT 2017 2 WELCOME TO OUR ANNUAL REPORT 2017 was a landmark year for Amref Health Africa as we celebrated our 60th anniversary. Six decades of equipping African communities with the knowledge and tools to build sustainable and effective health systems. Thanks en- tirely to our donors. We hope you are proud to call yourselves a part of the Amref Health Africa family. In 2017 alone, we reached 9.6 million people with health services and trained 125,000 health workers thanks to your support. This achieve- ment should not be downplayed, especially within the context of the US Government drastically reducing their budget to foreign humanitarian aid, with the greatest cut to family planning programs. The people hardest hit by these cuts are women and children, the population that we primarily serve. We met this challenge head on and boosted our work in raising awareness of what we do in Africa and reaching more supporters. Our second annual ArtBall was bigger on all fronts and allowed us to engage with a vibrant com- munity of artists, art lovers, and musicians.

LADB Article Id: 057862 ISSN: 1060-4189 Colombia: Government Accepts Escobar's Terms, But Prepared To Capture Him If He Doesn't Surrender by Erika Harding Category/Department: General Published: Tuesday, March 23, 1993 Since Medellin Cartel chief Pablo Escobar's escape from prison in July 1992, the government has repeatedly vowed it would not accept any conditions for his surrender. On March 17, however, Attorney General Gustavo de Greiff told reporters in Bogota that several requests made by Escobar recently would be granted: Escobar will be given his own kitchen facilities (to protect against poisoning), a telephone line to call his family three times per week, and government protection for his family. In exchange, Escobar must immediately surrender to authorities. De Greiff said these were not "conditions," but rather "opinions on some minor things about prison conditions which I don't see much problem in granting, not as a concession but rather as a solution." However, De Greiff later added that he would prefer Escobar's capture rather than surrender.
