This bibliography has been compiled from a variety of unverified sources, including correspondence, personal collections, large data bases and libraries, and only a small proportion of the documents themselves have been located.

Everything is somewhere, so where are you now? So Sad Man A pernicious sadness squirmed into the man’s bones and wormed its way deep into his icy marrow. The only emotional shard that remained of his shattered psyche was sorrow. The sad man strained against his bonds, more out of habit than any real hope of breaking free. He unclenched his teeth, and gasped for breath. Nylon cord, cinched tight to his cot, restrained him, but the weight of his deranged captor crouch- ing on his chest was the primary cause of his worsening asphyxia.

PrOpCom 2 RC 378525 Background Promoting Pro-Poor Opportunities in Commodity and Service Markets (PrOpCom) is an innovative project funded by the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom (DFID) to facilitate functionality and efficiency of Nigerian commodity and service markets in such a way as to assure these markets benefit the poor. PrOpCom’s goal is to improve livelihoods by facilitating growth and pro-poor outcomes in commodity and service markets and to contribute to the overarching (DFID/Nigeria) goal of poverty alleviation in support of NEEDS and the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. PrOpCom will use a “Making Markets Work for the Poor” (M4P) approach to address the systemic reasons that prevent commodity and service markets from functioning effectively for the poor in Nigeria. In doing so, it will contribute to delivery of the vision for growth in the non-oil economy outlined in NEEDS. The project purpose is to support systemic change in markets on which the poor rely to produce pro-poor outcomes and opportunities such as: – Enhanced incomes; – Increased jobs; – Improved access to markets; – More options and choices; and – Reduced risks.

  • African Art: a Bibliographic Guide
    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION LIBRARIES AFRICAN ART: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC GUIDE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION LIBRARIES RESEARCH GUIDE NO. 4 AFRICAN ART: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC GUIDE Janet L. Stanley FOREWORD The Smithsonian Institution Libraries established its Research Guide Series in order to bring the substantive collections of this major research library to the attention of scholars and the public. The present guide is the fourth of the series. Janet Stanley' s bibliographic guide is a selective list of many valuable books touching various aspects of African Art studies and collection. It is designed both for the lay person approaching this rich and varied field for the first time and for the seasoned professional. Scholars will recognize this compilation to be a discriminating reference guide to seminal works in the growing bibliography of African arts, crafts and architecture as well as the state of the art market and collecting. We earnestly hope that this work will reach the wide audience for which it was intended and that all readers will benefit from the professional judgment Janet Stanley has imposed upon this well organized and carefully arranged bibliographic guide. Robert Maloy, Director Smithsonian Institution Libraries September 1984 INTRODUCTION Purpose. This bibliography is an introductory guide to the literature of African art and is intended to be a critical "best books" list. It is addressed both to the newcomer as a beginning reading list, and to the specialist as a bibliographic aide-memoire to some of the standard books in the field. As such, it is highly selective, and the very inclusion of a title in this guide constitutes a recommendation, even though particular titles may have limitations.

  • Final Report: Sub-Regional Technical Workshop
    FINAL REPORT SUBREGIONAL TECHNICAL WORKSHOP FOR THE EXCHANGE OF EXPERIENCES AND ANALYSIS ON THE PREVENTION OF VIOLENT EXTREMISM IN THE CONSEIL DE L’ENTENTE COUNTRIES Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire 24–25 May 2018 September 2018 Summary From 24 to 25 May 2018, the Conseil de l’Entente, in partnership with the Dakar Office of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS Dakar) and the Human Security Division of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) of Switzerland, organised a workshop to share experiences of and analyses on the prevention of violent extremism in the Entente area, in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. This meeting assembled around 40 government, security and civil society actors, experts and researchers from the five member countries of the Entente area – Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger and Togo – who were joined by experts from the region. It allowed participants to share their experiences in preventing violent extremism (PVE) and to raise awareness of the need for more investment in this area. The diversity and quality of the actors, including national defence and security officials with direct experience in preventing the phenomenon encouraged open exchanges and a better understanding of this theme. The Conseil de l’Entente, the oldest intergovernmental organisation in West Africa, covers a geographical area straddling the Sahel and the West African coastal states – towards which violent extremist groups are currently advancing. Complementary analysis from Conseil de l’Entente member states and neighbouring countries gave depth and pertinence to this exercise. These two factors not only produced recommendations for the Conseil de l’Entente and its member States but also shed new light on this region.
