  • Female Representation in the National Parliaments of Angola, Ethiopia and Lesotho
    International Journal of Politics and Good Governance Volume 3, No. 3.3 Quarter III 2012 ISSN: 0976 – 1195 THE SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN TRIUMVIRATE: FEMALE REPRESENTATION IN THE NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS OF ANGOLA, ETHIOPIA AND LESOTHO Kimberly S. Adams Associate Professor of Political Science, East Stroudsburg University, USA ABSTRACT From December 5, 2001 to January 31, 2011, the percentage of women serving in the lower chambers of Angola, Ethiopia, and Lesotho, increased by 23.1 percent, 20.1 percent, and 20.4 percent respectively (Inter-Parliamentary Union, 2011) While numerous factors can possibly explain this increase, this paper examines political, socioeconomic and cultural factors that may help to explain the increased presence of women in the national parliaments of Angola, Ethiopia, and Lesotho from 2001 to 2011. Unlike my previous works on women serving in national parliament, that employ quantitative analysis when examining the impact of explanatory variables on women in parliaments, this work employs a case study approach to systematically examine the increased share of women in the parliaments of three very different and unique Sub- Saharan African countries. Keywords: Women, African politics, Parliament, Representation, Angola, Ethiopia, Lesotho 1 International Journal of Politics and Good Governance Volume 3, No. 3.3 Quarter III 2012 ISSN: 0976 – 1195 “It is important to understand that, establishing women’s political rights in law does not mean in practice that women will be allowed to exercise those rights.” (Pamela Paxton/Melanie M. Hughes, 2007: 62) Introduction Women in Sub-Saharan African society have been the subject of countless studies in the United States during the past three decades.Topics ranging from domestic abuse, sexual exploitation, government corruption, to Sub-Saharan African women’s access to healthcare, education, the paid workforce and political power, continue to be the focus of governmental reports and academic manuscripts.

  • Inventário Florestal Nacional, Guia De Campo Para Recolha De Dados
    Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão.

  • The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
    Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.
