Dust From Our Eyes
An Unblinkered Look at Africa
Joan Baxter
Joan Baxter eloquently exposes the diversity of Africa, the injustices Africans have faced and the strengths that have helped them weather adversity. She erodes the tired stereotypes of the western media and provides compelling evidence of the need for westerners to scrutinise their own countries' policies at home and abroad.

Uganda Asians come to Britain

'On the face of it, life in the camp presented a sharp and favourable contrast to the open terror of living in Uganda. But it was the Kensington camp, and not Amin's Uganda, which was my first experience of what it would be like to live in a totalitarian society.' Mahmood Mamdani

Demystifying Aid
Yash Tandon
This pamphlet from Pambazuka Press shows that 'development aid' is not what it purports to be - the effects of actions of well-meaning allies in the North who support aid to Africa for reasons of ethics or solidarity are, unfortunately, the opposite of their good intentions.

Perspectives on Emerging Powers in Africa: December 2011 newsletter
Deborah Brautigam provides an overview and description of China's development finance to Africa. "Looking at the nature of Chinese development aid - and non-aid - to Africa provides insights into China's strategic approach to outward investment and economic diplomacy, even if exact figures and strategies are not easily ascertained", she states as she describes China's provision of grants, zero-interest loans and concessional loans. Pambazuka Press recently released a publication titled India in Africa: Changing Geographies of Power, and Oliver Stuenkel provides his review of the book.

Elimu Yetu Coalition – Kenya’s National coalition(network) of Civil Society Organizations committed to the realization of Education For All goals (EFA) as spelt out in the Dakar framework for action – wishes to confirm to all that we will host CONFINTEA VI Africa’s Civil Society Summit on 3rd November 2008 at the Hilton Hotel, Nairobi Kenya. Find attached the registration form.
A detailed programme for CONFINTEA VI Africa Regional Conference has already been issued by UNESCO’s Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) indicating that the Draft Regional Synthesis Report will be presented on 5th November 2008 in the morning hours. On the other hand the Government of Kenya in collaboration with UNESCO’s Nairobi office is holding a major workshop on 4th November 2008 for sharing Kenya’s experience and practices in Literacy Survey which is equally important and will require the participation of Africa’s Civil Society Organizations. Against this backdrop, Elimu Yetu Coalition is convinced that it will be strategically right to host the Africa Civil Society Summit on Monday 3rd November 2008.
It is our expectation that the summit will provide a platform for reflecting on various country reports, develop actionable and timely recommendations to be presented at the Regional Conference, and consolidate the Civil Society position in regards to “THE POWER OF YOUTH AND ADULT LEARNING FOR AFRICA’S DEVELOPMET” which is the main theme of Africa’s Regional Conference.
Elimu Yetu Coalition is currently analyzing various African country reports posted at the UNESCO’s website and we will be sharing a summary of our take/findings during the summit.
It is our appeal once again to all the Civil Society Organizations in Africa focusing on Education for All agenda to share with us their thoughts as we approach CONFINTEA VI Africa Regional Conference. We know it is rather expensive to meet the cost of travel and stay in Nairobi during that period, and therefore appeal to those who may not be able to secure funds and/or sponsorship to the Summit to share with all their thoughts/comments/observations/contributions through e-mail. Elimu Yetu Coalition is committed to consolidating and documenting your comments for presentation during the summit.
Lastly we are asking members of the Civil Society in Africa who will be attending the Summit and the Regional Conference to send the registration form back to us by 17th October 2008 to guide our planning process.
