Wo can partcipate? Everybody over 18 is welcome to apply. The only thing we expect from you is a healthy motivation! 3 2 INTRODUCTION In the beginning of 2016, we, Anna Schweiger and Jaap Willemsen, decided to participate in the 4th Earth Architecture Competition. This international competition, organised by the NKA foundation, focuses on earth (mud) as a building material and, in this edition, centered on a masterplan for a community secondary school in Abetenim, Ghana. The design-exercise was to develop a modular-design for one of the functions of the school (classrooms, dorms, cafeteria etc.) so that the campus can grow along with its number of students. Our design entry was shortlisted by the International Jury and now we have been invited to build our design for the school cafeteria in Abetenim. We are planning a workshop for the summer of 2017 in which we will construct several modules of our cafeteria design with the help of volunteers (students) and the local community. The workshop aims to serve as a learning environment where both the students and the local community can gain valuable practical experience building with earth. Furthermore innovative building techniques can be put into practice to improve the building discourse in the developing world. Of course the most important goal is to give the children in Abetenim access to secondary education. Education is the key for underserved regions to take their future in their own hands, which, in our opinion,should be the focal point of international development efforts. Are you willing to contribute to help us reach this goal? We hope we can arouse your interest in the following pages and we would be delighted to present

  • History the People Location & Climate Religion Money Visas Interesting Facts Getting Around Language Food & Drink Safety Health Etiquette Useful Websites
    GHANA Much of the attraction of Ghana is based upon its legacy as the center of the gold, ivory, and slave trade during the 17th and 18th centuries, when the mighty Ashanti Empire held sway here. However, Ghana also possesses one of the best game reserves in West Africa, a multitude of good beaches, and plenty of hospitality. History The People Location & Climate Religion Money Visas Interesting Facts Getting Around Language Food & Drink Safety Health Etiquette Useful Websites History Ghana's rich history centers on the once-great Ashanti Empire, which rose to power during the late 17th century and continued to prosper as a center of the 18th century slave trade. The Ashanti capital, Kumasi, was during this period one of the finest and most advanced cities in Africa, and the Ashanti state even employed significant numbers of Europeans as advisors and administrators. The European presence in Ghana is also marked by the multitude of colonial forts that dot its coastline–strongholds that anchored the European trade in gold, ivory, and slaves. Although Ghana, then known as the Gold Coast, was largely considered a British territory by the latter half of the 19th century, it wasn't until 1900 that the British succeeded in defeating the Ashanti and the area's other strong kingdoms. If Ghana was late in coming under European control, it was also the first African nation to win back its independence, in 1957. However, corruption and internal military strife proved to be intractable problems, and Ghana went through an extended period of instability in the 1960s and 1970s marked by military rule.

  • Challenges and Opportunities Underlining Africa's Aviation
    © 2020 INDIRE Challenges and Opportunities Underlining Africa’s Aviation Land- scape: A Multiple Lenses Analysis * Samunderu, Eyden – International School of Management (ISM) Dortmund, Germany | ey- [email protected] Njoroge, Simon Peter – Nairobi, Kenya | [email protected] Aim/Purpose This study sought to apply the Structure Conduct Performance paradigm to Africa’s air transport landscape in general. To do that it examines the past, pre- sent and future expectations of four of Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest aviation economies namely South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia and Nigeria. Secondary data containing historical passenger traffic was analysed and predictions for growth in the next ten years proposed. Background There is consensus that overall the future of aviation in Africa has significant economic potential with significant other challenges needing to be overcome. The existence of a large land mass that requires connecting with itself, a grow- ing population and specifically a growing middle class with an appetite for air travel, an extensive extractives sector and a growing tourism sector can provide the necessary demand conditions. In support of this, regional economic com- munities have led the way in implementation of Yamoussoukro Declaration (YD). This is especially so in West Africa through the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the Banjul Accord Group (BAG), which have facilitated the development of the most, liberalized air transport market in Afri- ca. At a higher level, the full implementation of YD requires that states disen- gage from the industry, liberalise access and facilitate the increased participation of the private sector. Some of the challenges that need to be actioned include high user charges and taxes, under-capitalization of African airlines and insuffi- cient management experience, which have contributed significantly to the low profitability of African airlines.

  • Prior Compliance List of Aircraft Operators Specifying the Administering Member State for Each Aircraft Operator – June 2014
    Prior compliance list of aircraft operators specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator – June 2014 Inclusion in the prior compliance list allows aircraft operators to know which Member State will most likely be attributed to them as their administering Member State so they can get in contact with the competent authority of that Member State to discuss the requirements and the next steps. Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014.
