FES Ghana :: History of FES work in Ghana History History Links Home Sitemap Activities ... Contact On the 19th December 1969 the Government of Ghana and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung of Germany signed an agreement of collaboration. Since then, development needs and concepts of assistance have changed. Even more significant might have been the political changes in Ghana and elsewhere which are informing such partnership and its actual operationalizations. Despite all that and all the operational changes that may have occurred in the meantime, it needs to be noted that, the activities of the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung are have always and are continuing to be intended to contribute to: the improvement of political and social framework conditions the democratization of social structures the strengthening of free trade unions economic progress the improvement of communication and media structures regional cooperation between states and different interest groups the resolution of the North-South Conflict. While the goals are the same for all our projects and programs in developing countries and have more or less remained the same throughout the years and decades, the specific form of working towards these goals has changed quite considerably. There have been remarkable changes since the Foundation established its programs for development cooperation with African countries just after their independence. This can be seen very clearly looking at the work of the Foundation in Ghana, which was one of three countries in Africa considered most important (the others were Zambia and Kenya).

Later after the arrival of the Europeans,the empire was broken by the British, French,and Germans. The present day land of Ghana was named The Gold Coast for about three hundred years. Promment citizens of The Gold Coast fought British colonialism for a long period of time. The British were very strong and as such many opposition leaders of the Gold Coast were either killed or jailed.However on March 6th 1957, led by Dr.kwame Nkrumah Ghana became the first Black African country to attain Independence.

Women and Children Trafficking WARP came to be involved in Liberia in response to the results of its devastating civil war even before USG resources to Liberia could become fully mobilized. The overarching program goal in this partnership is to establish multi-sectoral and interagency collaboration that will raise awareness of gender-based violence and torture issues, including sexual violence and trafficking, while giving a traumatized population access to quality mental health care. The program concurrently addresses the economic and psycho-social needs of survivors who have suffered acts of gender-based violence including rape, sexual torture, and exploitation. A culture of peace is being established using radio programming and cultural activities as the channels to promote greater dialog and access to information for the peoples living along the MRU border region. IRC works to raise awareness at the community level and within the structures of leadership of gender-based violence by conducting training on appropriate and effective response and community-wide sensitization campaigns. Thus far, IRC has held training and sensitization sessions with approximately 1,000 staff of the health, police, and armed forces, as well as traditional leaders.

Women and Children Trafficking The commitment of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to preventing conflict is underscored by the Protocol on Conflict Prevention signed by all 15 member countries in 1975. In December 1999 a milestone was reached when ECOWAS promulgated a Code of Conduct for the Implementation of a moratorium on the importation, exportation and manufacture of weapons in West Africa. This was the first attempt at such a moratorium in the region. While ECOWAS has a history of successful peacekeeping in the region, the Office of the Deputy Secretary for Political Affairs, Defense and Security is now staffing up to take on a conflict management role as well. It has also established the institutional framework for a Conflict Prevention Mechanism that consists of four Observation and Monitoring Centers in Benin, Burkina Faso, Liberia and the Gambia and a Coordinating Office in Nigeria. ECOWAS is thus a key partner for USAID/WARP in the conflict prevention arena.

Bibliography. Index. Price not reported. Cloth. Ann B. Stahl has provided an important and long-awaited contribution to the growing list of monograph-length archaeological studies of later African history. An examination of this period is crucial to developing an increasingly nuanced picture of the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of West Africa, and the ways in which interactions with European traders were negotiated in the complex political and economic relations that trade engendered. Stahl's research differs from most of the other long-term historical archaeological projects in West Africa by focusing on the Banda chieftaincy region in central western Ghana, an area lying in the hinterland of coastal interaction that was not associated with the major inland polities well known through historical records. This research helps to bring balance to the study of the wider region.

Athens, Ohio: Ohio University Press, zoos. xii + 244 pp. Maps, bibliography, index. Cloth $44.95. Paper $22.95. Emmanuel Akyeampong doubts that Between the Sea and the Lagoon fits in "the genre of environmental history, as the focus is not on `conservation"' (p. 3). Many environmental historians would disagree with this characterization, and will find his "eco-social" approach familiar, although they will note that his emphasis is toward social and cultural forces. While the book charts the history of dramatic environmental change, Akyeampong does not find changes in the land and seascape interesting for their own sake, but because they presented a further challenge to people experiencing political, cultural, and economic transformation. Thus, this work illustrates how environmental considerations may be integrated into more mainstream approaches to West Africa, an area where historians have been less drawn by environmental analyses than in eastern or southern Africa.

Yet Unilag officials, including muslims, were asking whether the new Fordham priest-lecturers had come for the pastoral care of the Catholic students. The two faculty member, Frs. Schuh and Schuyler, did offer Mass for a small number of Catholic students, and the archbishop gave his approval to establish a chaplaincy. In those first few years, when the university population was small, the two Jesuits taught more than 50% of all students, mostly in law, business, and medicine, and thus had tremendous contact with the student body, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. In 1968, Fr. Schuyler began chaplaincy work at the School of Nursing at LUTH (Lagos University Teaching Hospital). That involved three Masses on Sunday, daily Masses, and pastoral care for thousands of students. Eventually, Catholics and Protestants on the university campus agreed to share in building a chapel. The cornerstone was laid in a ceremony on May 1, 1976, but the chapel, Christ Our Light, was only ready for use in 1984. Since then it has been used for Sunday and daily liturgies. The main assembly area holds 900, and the side chapel seats 175.
