Africa Regional Conference on MDGs and Disability

AFRICA REGIONAL CONFERENCE ON MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND DISABILITY

Pan Afric Hotel, Nairobi Kenya

14th to 19th September 2008.

Organizers:

ECUMENICAL DISABILITY ADVOCATES NETWORK (EDAN), SECRETARIAT OF THE AFRICAN DECADE FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (SADPD), AFRICAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION (ACDF) AND THE UN MDG CAMPAIGN OFFICE FOR AFRICA

AIM: To enhance the capacity of leaders from disability and development sectors on effective mainstreaming of disability in MDGs in African countries and to provide knowledge, increase competence and strengthen organizational advocacy strategies and networking skills.

We would like to announce and to invite participants to the above Conference which will bring together leaders of the disability movement, professionals and service providers together to interact in discussion on the MDG campaign, implementation and the implication to persons with Disabilities. The Conference is organized on the backdrop of the fact that 2007-2008 marks the halfway point to 2015, the year set for the achievement of the MDGs and the observation that the campaign and implementation work going on is yet to recognize Disability as a sector that need specific attention.

2007-2008 also marks the coming into force of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).  It has been widely acknowledged that one of the shortcomings of the MDGs has been the exclusion of persons with disabilities.  Taking this into account, the UNCRPD was drafted to ensure the inclusion of persons with disabilities into the development agenda.  In the light of this, there are consistent referrals to the combating of conditions of poverty affecting persons with disabilities and especially their situation in the context of developing countries. Over 80%% of the 650 million persons with disabilities live in the poorest parts of the world.  This means that over 20%% of the poorest people globally are persons with disabilities. 

For the MDGs to have real significance, they cannot ignore those living with disabilities.  As James Wolfensohn, the former president of the World Bank has pointed out: “Unless disabled people are brought into the development mainstream, it will be impossible to cut poverty in half by 2015 or to give every girl and boy the chance to achieve a primary education by the same date.
 
Although persons with disabilities have organized groups which are involved in disability advocacy, awareness and lobbying on other pertinent issues of concern to them, there has been very little interaction with the MDGs campaign and many of them are not aware of it. They are not a consideration in the regional strategies as currently spelt out and implemented. They have continued to be left out of the Campaign relegating them further to marginalization. They therefore cannot engage their governments in this regard. It is necessary that they get involved.

This reality has brought about the need for the Secretariat of African Decade of Persons with Disability (SADPD), Ecumenical disability advocates network EDAN, African Community Development Foundation (ACDF) and UN Millennium Campaign office to partner in a project to facilitate an engagement to bring about the disability factor in all aspects of the MDG Work. This project has among other things the purpose to set in motion capacity building as well as inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities and their organizations in the mainstream campaign activities. The ultimate purpose is to facilitate a process to build a strong disabled person’s organisation DPOs to ensure that the voice of disabled persons will be heard and taken into account in all sectors of national MDG development.

The continental conference was originally expected to bring together a limited number of disability leaders from all over Africa associated with the work of the Secretariat of the African Decade for Persons with Disabilities and the Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network. The number was limited due to resources but we have received recommendations that the conference should be opened up for a wider participation.  This announcement is therefore an invitation to persons with disabilities, DPO’s, Service providers and professionals   especially those involved in development and issues of MDGs in various Regional Network to this conference.  It is also an appeal to individuals and all regional organizations to sponsor those in their networks who can ably take the information back to their countries. Anticipated expenses within Kenya including airport transfers, Conference facilities, accommodation and full board for five days per person is 1,000 US Dollars. This figure does not include the air fare from the port of departure to Nairobi.

The organizing Committee has very limited scholarships to go to a few leaders in the Disability movement as this will facilitate key leadership meetings that will take place alongside and after the MDG Conference. Those in this category are requested to make their applications which will be considered on need basis and early application.

The Conference is as indicated above planned to take place at the Pan Afric Hotel Nairobi, Kenya between 14th and 19th September 2008. The first three business days programme beginning in the morning of Monday, 15th September will be devoted to knowledge dissemination, interactive discussions through workshops and development of advocacy strategies for inclusion in the MDG campaigns and implementation. The last two days will be devoted to the work of the Decade for persons with Disabilities and its relationship to development in the Region. A programme and other information materials will be sent later but those interested are requested to fill in the attached registration form and send it back to facilitate further planning.

Participants who are not in the Decade network and would like to experience a little of the Kenya tourism including group organized game drive may take this option provided there will be enough of them to make a group and that they will have informed us in good time. These arrangements are not part of the conference and their expenses are not included in the figures given for acommodation and board during the conference. Those interested may request for separate information in that connection.

African Research on Ageing Network (AFRAN)
http://www.ageing.ox.ac.uk/africa.html

Jointly coordinated by the Oxford Institute of Ageing (OIA) and the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA)

1. Background

1. Africa’s population is ageing.  The next few decades will see exponential increases in the number of those aged 60+ from currently 45.7 million to 183 million in 2050, while their population share will rise from currently 5 to 10%. In many countries an even sharper ‘ageing’ surge can be expected if the AIDS epidemic – and the disproportionate death of younger and middle aged adults – continues.

1. However, the fundamental questions of how social change has, and will impact on the intergenerational relationships and societal institutions that shape the situation of older people, and what implications population ageing will have for development processes and perspectives -  are issues that the as yet small and fragmented African research community on ageing has hardly begun to address.

1. Yet, there is an urgent need for research to answer these questions: 

First, to provide a scientific basis to promote and inform policy development to ensure the well-being and enhance the capacity of older people and ageing societies at present and in the future.

Second, to enable Africa to gain a much fuller understanding than so far exists of the experiences and implications of individual and population ageing in its societies in the context of rapid social and economic change.

2. What is AFRAN?

1. The African Research on Ageing Network (AFRAN)  is a unique collaborative network that brings together African and international institutions and individuals from academia, policy and practice.  It was established in April 2005 to address the substantial gaps in ageing research, and to promote coherent directions for research and training on ageing in Africa over the coming years.

1. AFRAN is endorsed by the United Nations Programme on Ageing as an essential partner in furthering the Research Agenda on Ageing and implementing the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing in the Africa region and is recommended to become a standing committee of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics

3. AFRAN Purpose and Core Aims

1. AFRAN’s main purpose is to act as a coordinating mechanism for fostering African research and training on ageing, and as a platform for forging partnerships and exchange between institutions and bodies in the North and South. 

1. AFRAN’s two core goals: (1) to develop and expand African research and training capacity on ageing, and (2) To conduct collaborative, high-quality policy-relevant, national or cross-national research, on substantive priority questions relating to ageing and health, poverty, HIV/AIDS and the family in sub-Saharan Africa.

1. AFRAN will pursue these goals, initially over a 5-year period, through an integrated programme of activities comprising:
2. Research
3. Policy-Research Dialogues
4. A step-wise capacity building, training and curriculum development agenda
5. Web-based information sharing and exchange
6. Production of publications

4. AFRAN Organization

1. AFRAN is jointly coordinated by the Oxford Institute of Ageing (OIA) and the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA). CODESRIA, headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, is the leading social science research council, and the apex non-governmental centre of social knowledge production and social science training in Africa. The OIA is pursuing a programme of research on global ageing and is fully committed to the belief that the production of high quality, strategic research -which informs and is informed by good policy and practice- will lead to a greater understanding of societies as they age and ultimately to better lives for older people.

1. AFRAN’s activities are guided by an elected 7-member steering committee of African scholars and civil society representatives.

1. Membership to AFRAN is open and encouraged for anyone engaged or interested in research on ageing issues in Africa or among African populations and currently includes 40-50 Africa-based individuals and institutions from Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and Senegal as well as European and international researchers.

THINGS FALL APART - HISTORIAN ON AFRICA WANTED

Dear All,

I will be producing a Radio 4 programme on Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. The programme will transmit on Thursday 5th June. I am keen to have an African historian in the programme who can give the historical context to the book, published in 1958, a time when decolonisation was starting on the continent with Ghana having gained its independence in 1957. The story itself is set in the 1890's, a decade or so after the Scramble for Africa commenced and I would want a historian to give some insight into how colonialism was impacting on in Africa and Nigeria at the time. Please note, I am not necessarily looking for someone who will talk about the book as I will have others performing this role. 

I can be contacted by email shown below to discuss this further.

I am on leave after tomorrow for 2 weeks.

Kindest regards,
Elizabeth

NOTE: Since the U.S. Capitol Hill will be hosting – five other non-related demonstrations scheduled for each hour, on that same day, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MATCH OUT.  The Capitol Police is trying to maintain order to avoid clashes on the streets since other demonstrators will be WAITING on both sides of the streets (Constitution Ave and Independence Ave) as we disband.  The Capitol Police has requested that we disband our demonstration at noon and either walk normally as other citizens to the next venue (State Department) or take the Metro.  THIS IS GOING TO BE A BUSY DAY FOR THE CAPITOL HILL – SO PLEASE RESPECT THEIR LAWS.  The good side is our group has been given two hours to demonstrator as opposed to the one hour allocated to the other groups.

2. STATE DEPARTMENT – Since there is heavy construction at the State Department, FOR OUR SAFETY the DC Police will only allow the Group Leaders and some of the protestors (NOT EXCEEDING 100) to proceed to the State Building, since the sidewalk cannot hold more than 300 plus demonstrators that have confirmed will attend the demonstration.  The REST of the demonstrators will wait at the adjacent park next to the State Dept Building, as the Leaders address and present our documented concerns.

ORANGE DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT

IDA ODINGA TO ADDRESS KENYANS IN LONDON ON 24th November 2007

PRESS RELEASE

Mrs Ida Odinga, Kenya’s prospective First Lady is scheduled to visit the United Kingdom from the 23rd November 2007. This is an exploratory trip to meet ODM supporters resident in the UK. Mrs Odinga, wife of Hon Raila Odinga, Presidential Nominee on the ODM ticket, is a business woman, gender activist, National Treasurer of the League of Kenyan Women Voters and co-ordinator of the Langata Constituency Women Group.

Mrs Odinga is credited with having initiated the NARC Women’s Congress, an organisation that has ever since been associated with the number of women appointed to several administrative positions and elected/nominated as members of Parliament. “The First Lady should be a role model to all women in the country.  There are so many issues in Kenya that the First Lady can use her position to resolve.  She is the face of the country’s women.  She must earn respect by what she does and not demand for it”, says Mrs Odinga.

Other than being a political partner to the prospective President, from the campaign trail to State House receptions, Mrs Odinga will be talking to Kenyans on how she intends to use her title to effect social change and highlight issues relating to women and indeed all Kenyans in the Diaspora. While in London, Mrs Odinga will be joined by ODM Women supporters from German and will be hosted to media interviews and meet women from leading UK charities to cultivate support and increase visibility for ODM as a party poised to effect meaningful social change in Kenya.

On Saturday 24th November 2007 from 2pm, Mrs Odinga will be the Chief Guest at a dinner function at the Sangam Centre 210 Burnt Oak, Broadway Edgware Middlesex HA8 0AP. Dinner to be served from 5.00 pm

Entry tickets will be selling at £50 per head.
