AND INITIAL REPORT UNDER THE PROTOCOL TO THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA August 2018 1 THE REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA’S COMBINED REPORT ON THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON HUMAN & PEOPLES’ RIGHTS & INITIAL REPORT ON THE PROTOCOL TO THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA PREFACE The Republic of The Gambia is committed to the progressive realization of the rights and freedoms of all persons as well as the duties enshrined in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights through the creation of appropriate policy, legislative, judicial, administrative and budgetary measures. It is against this background that this Combined Periodic Report seeks to highlight the measures adopted in the implementation of the rights enshrined in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) since 1994, identify the progress made as well as the constraints encountered. During the period under review (1994-2018), The Republic of The Gambia has had to contend with a very checkered history in the bid to fulfill its obligation to promote and protect human rights. Admittedly, numerous challenges had to be overcome in the effective realization of the promotion and protection of these rights. The Ministry of Justice takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to the distinguished Commissioners of the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and hope that the distinguished experts will appreciate the progress made so far, the determinations being made to overcome the highlighted challenges and continue to support The Gambia’s obligation to sustain the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights in the overall interest of all Gambians. The Government of The Gambia looks forward to the opportunity to engage in a constructive dialogue with the Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the implementation of the Charter.

  • Faith-Inspired Organizations and Global Development Policy a Background Review “Mapping” Social and Economic Development Work
    BERKLEY CENTER for RELIGION, PEACE & WORLD AFFAIRS GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY 2009 | Faith-Inspired Organizations and Global Development Policy A Background Review “Mapping” Social and Economic Development Work in Europe and Africa BERKLEY CENTER REPORTS A project of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University Supported by the Henry R. Luce Initiative on Religion and International Affairs Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Affairs From 2006–08, the Berkley Center and the Edmund A.

The Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Affairs convenes symposia and seminars that bring together scholars and policy experts around emergent issues. The program is organized around two main themes: the religious sources of foreign policy in the US and around the world, and the nexus between religion and global development. Topics covered in 2007–08 included the HIV/AIDS crisis, faith-inspired organizations in the Muslim world, gender and development, religious freedom and US foreign policy, and the intersection of religion, migration, and foreign policy. The Berkley Center The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, created within the Office of the President in March 2006, is part of a university-wide effort to build knowledge about religion’s role in world affairs and promote interreligious understanding in the service of peace. The Center explores the inter- section of religion with contemporary global challenges.

    I DID IT ALONE - IN PRAYER A STUDY OF RITUALS AND CONVERSION ACCOUNTS AMONG EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS IN THE GAMBIA, WEST-AFRICA by Maria Sæther Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the Cand.Polit. degree Department of Social Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Tromsø May 1999 “I used to say : “there is a God-shaped hole in me.” For a long time I stressed the absence, the hole. Now I find it is the shape which has become more important.” Salman Rushdie. To Aida ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although this project has been very demanding, I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to concentrate on a topic that interests me personally. Many people deserve my gratitude for their divers contributions and support to me in my efforts to realise this project: My utmost thanks go to my Gambian relatives who welcomed me and my daughter, and cared for us during our stay in the country. Especially I thank Mam Seit and family, not forgetting Adama Jammeh - I never expected such care. Also I thank my informants who shared their thoughts with me. I can not mention their real names, since I have chosen to anonymize them in this thesis. Ever since I started my studies Dr. Lisbet Holtedahl has initiated many of my discoveries within the complex landscape of Social Anthropology, first as a lecturer and then as my supervisor. She has encouraged me to take choices - like participating in film-courses - that did not seem very rational in order to finish up my thesis, but that I am certain have enriched my professional competence.

Curley Anglican Stagnation and Growth in West Africa: The Case of St. Paul's Church, Fajara, The Gambia Christine Elizabeth Curley Theology Masters Wycliffe College 2012 Abstract This paper investigates the history of the Anglican Church in The Gambia, and uses one church, St. Paul‟s, Fajara, as a case study to understand the growth of the Church in the country. This paper evaluates the Anglican leadership in the mid-twentieth century to understand why the growth in the Anglican Church has been so small. To understand the stagnant growth, this paper also explores the Islamic and British backgrounds in the country, as well as some of the evangelistic techniques used by the Anglicans, as well as critiquing leaders in the 1970s and 1980s at St. Paul‟s, Fajara. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Timeline of Pertinent Events ii Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Background of The Gambia 17 Chapter Three: The Anglican Church in The Gambia 32 Chapter Four: Leadership in the Church 48 Chapter Five: Two Case Studies on Leadership 58 Chapter Six: Conclusion 72 Bibliography 76 iii Timeline of pertinent events 11th century: Arabic Islamic Traders make inroads to The Gambia 1855: Anglican Diocese of the West Indies send their first missionaries to The Gambia: James Leacock (A white priest from Barbados) and John Duport (a black ordinand from St.

  • Dick's Creek and Its Southerly Tributary That Parallels Oakdale and Merritt Street for About 2.5 Kilometers
    Dick’s Creek Richard Pierpoint “Captain Dick” Courageous Leader, Soldier, Hero To the West of Merritt Street, St.Catharines running along side present day Oakdale Avenue within Canal Valley, is Dick’s Creek. Its waterway tells a discordant series of tales that informs that which we see today on Merritt Street. The first and second Welland canals followed Dick’s Creek as they left the boundary of St. Catharines (as it was in 1829 to 1915) and travelled south toward the town of Merritton and the Niagara Escarpment. The First Welland Canal finished in 1829 and used for fifteen years, and the Second Welland Canal finished in 1845 and used until 1915 both follow the main branch of Dick's Creek and its southerly tributary that parallels Oakdale and Merritt Street for about 2.5 kilometers. Dick’s Creek was named after respected, well-liked, Richard “Captain Dick” Pierpoint, who in his life- time was captured by or sold by local slave traders to an America bound British slave ship at 16, escaped American slavery by joining the Loyalist militia in 1780 at 36, acquired in recognition of his brave service a large land grant in 1791 encompassing Dick’s Creek at 47, voluntarily fought in the war of 1812 on behalf of Upper Canada against the Americans as a member of the Coloured Militia he co-founded at 68, received and fulfilled the harsh conditions of acquiring a further land grant in Fergus at the age of 82, and then returned to the area of Dick’s Creek now actively used as part of the Welland Canal where he lived nobly until his death in 1838 at the distinguished age of 94.

  • The Wolof of Saloum: Social Structure and Rural Development in Senegal Stellingen
    The Wolof of Saloum: social structure and rural development in Senegal Stellingen 1. Ein van de voorwaarden voor succesvolle toepassing van ossetrekkracht in de landbouw is een passende bedrijfsgrootte. In vele samenlevingen in West-Afrika wordt aan deze voor- waarde niet voldaan, omdat de leden van de huishoudgroep niet gezamenlijk, maar afzonder- lijk een bedrijf beheren. Dit proefschrift. 2. De conclusie dat in niet-westerse gebieden de positie van de vrouw verslechtert door opname in de marktecanomie en modernisering van de landbouw, is niet van toepassing op de Wolof-samenleving. Door de verbouw van handelsgewassen werd haar rol in de landbouw be- langrijker en nam haar inkomen toe. De recente toepassing van dierlijke trekkracht ver- lichtte haar taak op haar eigen veld. Postel-Coster, E. & J. Schrijvers, 1976. Vrouwen op weg; ontwikkeling naar emanci- patie. Van Gorcum, Assen. Dit proefschrift. 3. Moore verklaart de deelname aan werkgroepen met een maaltijd als beloning ('festive labour') mede uit de afhankelijkheid van de deelnemers ten opzichte van de begunstigde. Hierbij wordt over het hoofd gezien dat het voorkomt dat slechts een persoon deelneemt vanwege zijn afhankelijkheid van de begunstigde en dat deze persoon de overige deelnemers rekruteert volgens de regels van reciprociteit. Moore, M.P., 1975. Co-operative labour in peasant agriculture. Journal of Peasant Studies 2(3): 270-291. Dit proefschrift. 4. De gebruikelijke definitie van een marabout als zijnde een heilige en religieus leider met erg veel invloed is niet van toepassing op de Wolof, omdat hier vele marabouts slechts lokale bekendheid genieten. Dit proefschrift. 5. Er wordt vaak geen rekening gehouden met het feit dat de materiele positie van de kleine boer in ontwikkelingslanden niet alleen bepaald wordt door zijn activiteit als pro- ducent, maar tevens door zijn activiteit als handelaar.

  • Globalization, Cultural Heritage Management and the Sustainable Development Goals in Sub-Saharan Africa: the Case of Nigeria
    heritage Article Globalization, Cultural Heritage Management and the Sustainable Development Goals in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Nigeria Caleb A. Folorunso Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan 200284, Nigeria; [email protected] Abstract: This paper addresses the impacts of globalization on cultural heritage conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. The homogenization and commodification of Indigenous cultures as a result of globalization and it’s impacts on the devaluation of heritage sites and cultural properties is discussed within a Nigerian context. Additionally, the ongoing global demand for African art objects continues to fuel the looting and destruction of archaeological and historical sites, negatively impacting the well- being of local communities and their relationships to their cultural heritage. Global organizations and institutions such as UNESCO, the World Bank, and other institutions have been important stakeholders in the protection of cultural heritage worldwide. This paper assesses the efficacy of the policies and interventions implemented by these organizations and institutions within Africa and makes suggestions on how to advance the protection of African cultural heritage within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, cultural heritage conservation is explored as a core element of community well-being and a tool with which African nations may achieve Citation: Folorunso, C.A.
