Download or read book Languages and Education in Africa written by Birgit Brock-Utne and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of this book cuts across disciplines. Contributors to this volume are specialized in education and especially classroom research as well as in linguistics, most being transdisciplinary themselves. Around 65 sub-Saharan languages figure in this volume as research objects: as means of instruction, in connection with teacher training, language policy, lexical development, harmonization efforts, information technology, oral literature and deaf communities. The co-existence of these African languages with English, French and Arabic is examined as well. This wide range of languages and subjects builds on recent field work, giving new empirical evidence from 17 countries: Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, as well as to transnational matters like the harmonization of African transborder languages. As the Editors – a Norwegian social scientist and a Norwegian linguist, both working in Africa – have wanted to give room for African voices, the majority of contributions to this volume come from Africa.

The papers are divided into six parts: Pre-Colonial Identities; Colonialism and Identity; Conceptions of the Nation-State and Identity; Identity-Based Conflicts; Migration and Acculturation; and Memory, History and Identity. The authors are scholars from Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La télémédecine ou la e-santé regroupent un ensemble d’applications des technologies de l’information et de la communication, lesquelles sont traitées dans cet ouvrage en partant d’idées simples. Cet ouvrage place le patient au cœur du système. La santé est vue sous cet angle à travers la multitude des technologies disponibles actuellement. L’acceptabilité de ces technologies par le patient, l’aidant et le professionnel de soin devient alors un élément clé. L’auteur liste les différentes applications ainsi que les briques matérielles et logicielles indispensables à leur réalisation. Quelques éléments de prospective complètent les évolutions récentes, comme le partage entre l’hôpital et les nouveaux lieux de soins tel le domicile du patient. L’ouvrage analyse les contraintes liées à la mise en place de ces dispositifs, en particulier les normes et certifications nécessaires, puis il aborde les différentes formations mises en œuvre au service du déploiement de ces solutions.

Download or read book Religion and International Law written by Robert Uerpmann-Wittzack and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing religious antagonisms are challenging the ultimate goal of ‘living together’ in peaceful societies. Living together explores international law responses, beginning with their historic roots, before the perspective shifts to the role of religious institutions and religious law. Contributions of different human rights bodies are analyzed, before further sections deal with the international protection of religion, the relationship between religious beliefs and freedom of expression, and the roles of other individual rights. Religion and International Law originates from the long-standing cooperation between the German and the French Societies of International Law, thus bringing together the traditions of French laicism and a cooperative German approach. Experts from Austria, Italy, Poland, Portugal and the UK complement the pan-European perspective.

Download or read book Collective Mobilisations in Africa Mobilisations collectives en Afrique written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses empirical research to bring together a broad range of protest contexts in twelve chapters. From the formation of Maroon societies in the early colonial period, to female mobilisation in authoritarian contexts, via urban youth culture, women or mineworkers in trade unionism, as well as pro- and anti- gay rights activists, the protagonists here all insist upon their rights to protest in a variety of ways. Sometimes popular protest is expressed through religion, often (and sometimes violently) by young people, exasperated by their long wait for social achievement. Electoral wars and the formation of militias reveal a geography of violence in urban areas, which, in some sectarian excesses, can be displaced to rural areas, as described in the study on Boko Haram. Cet ouvrage regroupe un éventail comprenant douze contextes de contestation. De la formation de communautés marronnes au début de la colonisation, aux mobilisations féminines en contexte autoritaire, en passant par les cultures urbaines, les cultures syndicales des femmes et des travailleurs dans les mines, les contestations pro ou contre la liberté des homosexuels, tous font prévaloir leur pouvoir de contestation de manière plurielle. La voie religieuse est un domaine où s’exerce parfois de manière violente, les protestations de populations souvent jeunes, en attente de mobilité sociale. Les guerres électorales et la constitution de milices dessinent une géographie de la violence en milieu urbain, violence qui trouve à se déplacer en milieu rural dans certaines dérives sectaires comme en témoigne l’étude sur Boko Haram. Contributors are: Rémy Bazenguissa-Ganga, Raphaël Botiveau, Christophe Broqua, Michel Cahen,Thomas Fouquet, Adam Hizagi, Alcinda Honwana, Alexander Keese, Marie-Nathalie LeBlanc, Dominique Malaquais, Marie-Emmanuelle Pommerolle, Ophélie Rillon, Johanna Siméant, Benjamin Soares, Kadya Tall.

Download or read book R duire la pauvret et investir dans le capital humain written by Victoria Monchuk and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’Afrique a connu une forte croissance économique au cours des 2 dernières décennies. Cependant, les indices de pauvreté chronique restent très élevés, alors que la fréquence des chocs auxquels sont confrontés les ménages pauvres s’accentue et que l’écart entre les différents groupes de revenus s’élargit, particulièrement en termes de capital humain et d’accès aux services essentiels. À travers le soutien régulier et fiable aux ménages pauvres et vulnérables et l’appui à l’investissement productif, les interventions ciblées telles que les filets sociaux ont fait la preuve de leur capacité à faire reculer la pauvreté, à renverser les inégalités croissantes et à augmenter la résilience des ménages. Suite à la crise économique mondiale, un nombre croissant de décideurs politiques africains en sont venus à considérer les filets sociaux comme des instruments clés de réduction de la pauvreté et de gestion des risques. L’élan vers la rationalisation de la dépense publique à travers l’utilisation de méthodes plus appropriées de ciblage des ménages pauvres et vulnérables s’accentue. Réduire la pauvreté et investir dans le capital humain : le nouveau rôle des filets sociaux en Afrique examine les objectifs, les caractéristiques, la performance et le financement des filets sociaux mis en oeuvre dans 22 pays d’Afrique subsaharienne et identifie les moyens qui permettront aux différents gouvernements et partenaires techniques et financiers de renforcer les systèmes de filets sociaux afin que ces derniers puissent mieux soutenir les populations pauvres et vulnérables. De façon générale, les auteurs ont constaté que les filets sociaux étaient de plus en plus populaires en Afrique et que la transformation des programmes d’aide alimentaire d’urgence en filets sociaux réguliers et prévisibles s’intensifiait, notamment sous forme de programmes de transferts monétaires ciblés et d’interventions d’argent contre travail. Certains pays africains, principalement le Kenya, le Rwanda et la Tanzanie procèdent actuellement à l’unification de leurs programmes au sein d’un système national. Grâce à la disponibilité d’analyses actualisées des filets sociaux d’Afrique, des résultats encourageants tirés des évaluations d’impact et des possibilités productives offertes par les programmes de transferts monétaires dans les pays africains, les décideurs considèrent maintenant, dans leurs échéanciers de développement, les filets sociaux comme des instruments prioritaires et efficaces de réduction de la pauvreté et de la vulnérabilité.
