ABSTRACT This performance evaluation examines the Women’s Leadership Portfolio (WLP) to help USAID understand the characteristics of the portfolio and how it contributed to the implementation of the USAID Gender Equality and Female Empowerment (GEFE) Policy. The evaluation identifies achievements made by WLP activities and assesses their sustainability. Focusing on a sample of 45 WLP activities, the evaluation team conducted quantitative and qualitative analysis of over 1,000 USAID and implementing partner (IP) documents; telephone interviews with USAID/Washington (USAID/W), mission, and IP staff; and field-based interviews in six countries with local partners and beneficiaries. -
Democratic Transition in Anglophone West Africa Byjibrin Ibrahim
Democratic Transition in Anglophone West Africa Democratic Transition in Anglophone West Africa Jibrin Ibrahim Monograph Series The CODESRIA Monograph Series is published to stimulate debate, comments, and further research on the subjects covered. The Series will serve as a forum for works based on the findings of original research, which however are too long for academic journals but not long enough to be published as books, and which deserve to be accessible to the research community in Africa and elsewhere. Such works may be case studies, theoretical debates or both, but they incorporate significant findings, analyses, and critical evaluations of the current literature on the subjects in question. Author Jibrin Ibrahim directs the International Human Rights Law Group in Nigeria, which he joined from Ahmadu Bello University where he was Associate Professor of Political Science. His research interests are democratisation and the politics of transition, comparative federalism, religious and ethnic identities, and the crisis in social provisioning in Africa. He has edited and co-edited a number of books, among which are Federalism and Decentralisation in Africa (University of Fribourg, 1999), Expanding Democratic Space in Nigeria (CODESRIA, 1997) and Democratisation Processes in Africa, (CODESRIA, 1995).

Mother of Peace, the Memoir (Draft Version)
Mother of Peace And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes A Memoir by Hak Ja Han Moon February 2020 Draft Version Chapter 11. The Restoration of Canaan in Heaven and on Earth - 313 The land of death is the land of life and the land of life is the heavenly land - 313 New Hope for China - 317 The Mother of peace in the Muslim world - 320 Torrential rain, tears of joy - 326 The Heavenly Unified World in Oceania - 331 Heavenly Latin America blooms flowers of hope - 334 The course toward a Heavenly Unified World - 336 Giving birth to the Heavenly World - 343 The land of death is the land of life, and the land of life is the heavenly land I was pushing beyond my limits to fulfill the promise I had made to Heavenly Parent, True Father and our global membership, to restore seven heavenly nations by our Foundation Day events in February 2020. The work of the seven years since True Father's ascension now was coming to its climax. To accomplish this, I declared a 40-day course, from mid-November to the year's end, as a course to restore Canaan in heaven and on earth. In various parts of the world there are people who know me as the Mother of humankind, the Mother of peace, the universal Mother. Hence, despite tremendous challenges, my resolve for the sake of our Heavenly Parent, heaven's providence and all humanity is steadfast. It is rooted in the pledge I made as I bowed my head before True Father's holy body: "I will establish Cheon Il Guk on earth." *** The 40-day course began in Cambodia. -
Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea
Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women’s political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women’s associations or institu- tional politics such as political parties; but instead women’s silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities, and discusses when and why women’s claim making enjoys legiti- macy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of ‘tra- ditional’ authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender, urban anthropology, gender stu- dies, and Islamic studies.

14 October 2011 General Assembly GA/SHC/4012 Department of Public Information • News and Media Division • New York Sixty-sixth General Assembly Third Committee 17 th & 18 th Meetings (AM & PM) IN THIRD COMMITTEE MEMBER STATES DETAIL NATIONAL STEPS TO SAFEGUARD, NURTURE CHILDREN, CALL FOR MORE SUPPORT TO ‘THE MOST VULNERABLE OF THE VULNERABLES’ Some 50 speakers take floor on third day of continued debate on child rights; Efforts focus on education, health care, legal regimes to end violence, abuse Rounding out a three-day discussion on the promotion and protection of the rights of the child, members of the Third Committee (Social, Cultural and Humanitarian) detailed national initiatives to safeguard and nurture their future generations, while calling for further assistance and support to “the most vulnerable of the vulnerables”. More than 50 speakers from State delegations and an observer mission took the floor to debate children’s rights two days after Anthony Lake, the executive director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) called for urgent action to end the marginalization of the world’s forgotten children — namely girls, children with disabilities and the most isolated and impoverished youth. To that end, speakers throughout the day-long debate highlighted initiatives from countries of every size, region and level of social and economic development that aim to bolster the basic rights of children to health, education and a life free from violence. Delegations pointed to specific policies to foster wider access for girls and disabled children to schools and basic health services, as well as counselling. They also outlined newly enacted anti-trafficking laws and the establishment of help lines and shelters for child victims of domestic violence. -
The Second First Ladies Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Food Security and Women's Access to Resources Rome, 15 November, 2009 ____
The Second First Ladies Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Food Security and Women's Access to Resources Rome, 15 November, 2009 ____ 1- The Second First Ladies Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Food Security and Women's Access to Resources was held in Rome, on 15 November, 2009, at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization. 2- The following Members of the Movement attended the Summit: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Cuba, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Islamic Republic of Iran, IRAQ, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mali, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Suriname, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe. El Salvador attended the Summit as an observer. Opening Session 3- H.E. Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, the First Lady of the Arabic Republic of Egypt and chairperson of the Summit delivered the inaugural address of the Summit, emphasizing the need to maintain the momentum created by the Sharm El-Sheikh NAM First Ladies summit held last July on Women and Crisis Management. Food security was underlined both as a fundamental human right and a pre-requisite for achieving peace and stability. Food insecurity was perhaps the most daunting challenge facing women in developing countries, as more than one billion people worldwide were malnourished and the international community was far from achieving MDG 1 of halving the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. This situation is morally unacceptable. The need to invest in new technologies, channeling a gender perspective in decision making processes, effective training for women, awareness raising on the links between health and malnutrition and contributing to sustainable food security by facing the challenges posed by climate change, were all emphasized. -
