Where Will Agricultural Growth in Africa Come From?

In the past, African agriculture was limited due to lack of infrastructure. However, with recent improvements in rural infrastructure and the introduction of advanced technologies for agricultural production, Africa now has the opportunity to recapture the food security of other regions in the world that have been moving up in development.

Education Exclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa: a Report from UNESCO & How To Improve It

For decades, international organizations and governments have struggled to bring education to the African continent. However, regardless of the resources deployed or the programs implemented, one thing is clear – a huge number of children remain out of school. The article begins with an elusive statistic: 246 million children are not in school. You may wonder what could be the cause of such a problem, but it is actually due to a number of factors – poverty, location, gender, conflict…just to name a few.

The COVID19 pandemic has brought forward how important equitable education and training is. As schools around the world transitioned to remote learning in the wake of lockdowns and closures, the challenges to connectivity and access to learning in Africa became strongly noticeable.

LOVE – FOURTH PILLAR OF HEALTH AND WELLBEING

As a child we are taught that, to do well was not good enough, we must also be good. Similarly to talk about love is not good enough, we must also love. Love as an act, as a hypocritical, unfelt duty is not love at all. Love as a thought, or as a spoken word from a mountain-top, or etched on a stone, or formed as a rule in the family, or ordained as a collective notion in a group, is not love. But, ultimately there is love. Love is what we find at the end of a dark and hopeless tunnel and knows it to be the very point from where we began. Love is as true and as needed as bread, cloth and roof above our heads, and I assure you that more people die because of lack of love rather than because of lack of bread. Love is but a magical touch of God.
