MCC and Liberia
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Girls
Languages : en
Pages : 2
Book Description
Liberia's three-year, approximately $15-million Millennium Challenge Corporation threshold program is designed to improve performance in the policy areas measured by MCC's Land Rights and Access, Girls Primary Education Completion, and Trade Policy indicators. The program focuses on constraints to growth identified in Liberia's participatory Poverty Reduction Strategy. The program will create a foundation for reforms in Liberia's land sector that will promote equal access and increased land security through better understanding of property rights issues, the rebuilding of land administration and surveying capacity, and increased efficiency in land registration and transfers. The program will also increase girls' primary education enrollment and retention by creating a scholarship program for girls, providing grants to communities to improve the education environment, and coupling these efforts with mentoring programs and awareness campaigns. Finally, the program will improve Liberia's efforts to improve its trade policy and practices, specifically in tariff harmonization, engagement with regional and global bodies, i.e., the Economic Community of West African States, the World Customs Organization and the World Trade Organization, and strengthening the country's regulatory environment.
Media Hot and Cold
Author: Nicole StarosielskiPublisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478021845
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
In Media Hot and Cold Nicole Starosielski examines the cultural dimensions of temperature to theorize the ways heat and cold can be used as a means of communication, subjugation, and control. Diving into the history of thermal media, from infrared cameras to thermostats to torture sweatboxes, Starosielski explores the many meanings and messages of temperature. During the twentieth century, heat and cold were broadcast through mass thermal media. Today, digital thermal media such as bodily air conditioners offer personalized forms of thermal communication and comfort. Although these new media promise to help mitigate the uneven effects of climate change, Starosielski shows how they can operate as a form of biopower by determining who has the ability to control their own thermal environment. In this way, thermal media can enact thermal violence in ways that reinforce racialized, colonial, gendered, and sexualized hierarchies. By outlining how the control of temperature reveals power relations, Starosielski offers a framework to better understand the dramatic transformations of hot and cold media in the twenty-first century.
Preparing for the Future of HIV/AIDS in Africa

Book Description
HIV/AIDS is a catastrophe globally but nowhere more so than in sub-Saharan Africa, which in 2008 accounted for 67 percent of cases worldwide and 91 percent of new infections. The Institute of Medicine recommends that the United States and African nations move toward a strategy of shared responsibility such that these nations are empowered to take ownership of their HIV/AIDS problem and work to solve it.
Sustainable Urban Tourism in Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Llewellyn LeonardPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000317838
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This book investigates urban tourism development in Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the challenges and risks involved, but also showcasing the potential benefits. Whilst much is written on Africa’s rural environments, little has been written about the tourism potential of the vast natural, cultural and historical resources in the continent’s urban areas. Yet these opportunities also come with considerable environmental, social and political challenges. This book interrogates the interactions between urban risks, tourism and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan African urban spaces. It addresses the underlying issues of governance, power, ownership, collaboration, justice, community empowerment and policies that influence tourism decision-making at local, national and regional levels. Interrogating the intricate relationships between tourism stakeholders, this book ultimately reflects on how urban risk can be mitigated, and how sustainable urban tourism can be harnessed for development. The important insights in this book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners across Tourism, Geography, Urban Development, and African Studies.
