African Cup of Nations 16 January : As Africa gets ready to watch its finest football players in action in the African Cup of Nations, the host Mali is working to make sure the competition runs smoothly. «The biggest technological challenge is communication,» said Urbain Sangare, the president of logistics for the competition. «We took on the challenge to make sure all of Africa sees every step of each game, so we have had to work on the telecommunications for outside and the telecommunications for in the country itself,» he said. The three-week feast of football kicks off on 19 January (BBC News, UK, 16 January 2002) * Mauritius. China investment in Mauritius cotton A Chinese company is to build a cotton spinning mill in Mauritius, taking advantage of laws that allow duty-free access to the US, the worlds biggest textiles market. Textiles exported from Mauritius qualify for duty-free access to the US under the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA). The act was signed into law by President Clinton to boost trade between Africa and the US, by offering African exporters trade advantages. This investment however highlights fears that Asian countries are using Africa as a gateway to the US, raising questions about whether this investment will evaporate when trade rules are completely liberalised. The cotton mill is expected to produce 18,000 tonnes of cotton a year. Very few African countries are developed enough to take advantage of these trade preferences, with South Africa and Mauritius being the notable exceptions, Razia Khan, an economist at Standard Chartered said.

McCarthy, Editor Message from the Editor I have several items to bring to your attention at this time: 2) Subscription Renewals Far too many of you have not renewed your subscription for 1999.

I also encourage everyone to renew for 2000 as soon as possible see the next item. 4) Compilation Volume - A bound compilation of issues 1-25 of A-A A is in production for a January roll-out. In addition to copies of the first 25 issues of the newsletter, the compilation will include several specially commissioned essays and an index to major articles. I anticipate that the volume will sell for approximately $25.00. Stay tuned for more details as this project develops. 5) Contributions - We are always looking for substantive contributions to A-A A. Please consider the newsletter as your direct pipeline to the community of scholars with whom you most want to share the results of your work, "float trial balloons," etc.

Cultural Policy In Nigeria The rights and various attempts of the people of Nigeria to develop their Situation and Trends in Cultural Policy in African Member States Nigeria, http://www.wwcd.org/policy/clink/Nigeria.html
Extractions: How This Document Was Prepared Nigeria is one of the largest (923,768 km2) and geographically, socially and culturally most diversified African countries. It is the most populous country of Africa (the population estimated at 110 million in 1990), and potentially one of the richest. Richly endowed with human and natural resources, benefiting of a large internal market, Nigeria is, however, highly dependant on external economic sector, particularly oil revenues (93 per cent of exports in 1989). The domestic industry is import dependant. More then 60 per cent of population is employed in agriculture, which provides the bulk of Nigeria's food and raw materials supply and non-oil exports. Rich resources, large internal market and human potentials did not prevent Nigeria from being a low income country with GDP per capita declining from about 1,000 US dollars in 1980 to about 250 dollars in 1990. The world oil crisis, poor agricultural development, and internal civil war are usually cited as the main reasons for such an economic decline.
