The report is based on over fifty interviews in Kenya, Tanzania and Finland and ten workshops carried out in the first half of 2013. The research has been commissioned by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. All views presented in the text are those of the research team and do not represent the views of the Ministry. MDGs, SDGs and African post-2015 expectations The discussion around the post-2015 international development framework emerges from two tracks: the expiration of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which are a result of the UN Millennium Dec- laration in 2000; as well as the initiative of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with emphasis on a holistic approach to environment and development. In September 2013, the UN General Assembly decided to continue negotiations on a post-2015 development agenda through a ‘one-track’ approach,

  • CHAPTER 6 a Tapestry of the Ruvu Past: an Overview to C
    Societies, Religion, and History Rhonda M. Gonzales CHAPTER 6 A Tapestry of the Ruvu Past: An Overview to c. 1800 CE There is no way to recapture the individual voices of Ruvu-speaking peoples who long ago 1 lived in central-east Tanzania. But there is a way to recover the legacies that survive in the words they collectively spoke. This book is the first to bring forth a Ruvu social history using, primarily, reconstructed word histories. Within its pages the histories of the words Ruvu speakers once used are woven into accounts that highlight the ways speakers of proto-Ruvu diverged into many language communities. It also recovers details about how proto-Ruvu and speakers of Ruvu descendant languages lived within their communities in earlier times. The histories of some of those words also permit us to access facets of their speculative knowledge. Working from this tapestry of Ruvu word histories, the book argues that Ruvu people took into consideration foremost in building their communities that the cosmos was biaxial. In their views, people, animals, and the other features found on the earth's surface lived in the cosmos's temporal sphere. The other sphere comprised a world of influential spirits. In Ruvu worldviews, spirits could benefit or hinder peoples' lives and livelihoods. That precept did not determine the way Ruvu people lived, but it did underpin the rationales that legitimized the sociocultural institutions they established in their communities. This chapter is a chronological review of the thematic accounts covered in the foregoing 2 chapters. In previous chapters, a majority of the data were presented along thematic lines because that approach preserved the integrity of the information that Ruvu-speaking consultants shared with me.

Its main goals are to maximize the trade, investment and development opportunities of developing countries, to help them face challenges arising from globalization, and to help them integrate into the world economy on an equitable basis.

Africa is often presented to students as a place outside of history. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nonetheless, the myth of an Africa “without history” still carries much weight. In this Landscape Teaching Unit, students will find evidence to counter the myth. Africa, it turns out, contributed much more to the human race than simply its existence. Big Era Four saw a good deal of innovation in, among other things, ironworking technology and agriculture. Also, the era marked the linkage of East Africa to Indian Ocean trade networks.

Ferrand 1907: 552) The historical developments of East Africa and its region are illuminated by the cycles of the Eurasian and African world-system, where the Indian Ocean is embedded. It is in this framework that we can best understand the rise of the Swahili culture as a semi-periphery between dominant cores and dominated social groups which were situated in the African interior and on outlying islands (Comoros, Madagascar) or were composed of lower classes in urban territories.
