The Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation (IPATC), based at the University of Johannesburg (UJ), TrustAfrica and the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA), are jointly organizing a continental symposium on the theme: “The African Union at 20: Progress, Problems and Prospects”.
The symposium will be held at the Sheraton Hotel in Pretoria, South Africa on 2-4 November 2022. The symposium is part and parcel of the commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the African Union (AU). The AU was officially founded and launched on 9 July 2002 in Durban, South Africa. The Union took over the mantle for the pursuit of continental unity and integration from the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) which had existed since 1963. Both the OAU and AU are key institutional architectures and historical landmarks for the advancement of Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance, especially from the perspective of state-driven continental integration.
Ce mardi 20 septembre 2022, TrustAfrica a organisé un atelier d’échange sur la problématique de la déforestation et le travail des jeunes. L’atelier, qui s’est tenu en Côte D’ivoire, a permis d’outiller une vingtaine d’acteurs du secteur du Cacao et du palmier à huile. Cet atelier a permis l’amélioration des connaissances des participants sur le danger que représente le travail des enfants et la nouvelle loi forestière en vertu de l'article 27 sur la propriété des arbres.
Le Forum mondial sur les communautés victimes de discrimination au travail et dans l'ascendance (GFoD - pour son sigle en anglais) est le mécanisme de plaidoyer mondial des communautés victimes de discrimination au travail et dans l'ascendance (CDWD - pour son sigle en anglais). Plus de 260 millions de personnes à travers le monde sont discriminées sur la base du travail et de l'ascendance et sont plus communément appelées Dalits, Roma-Sinti, Quilombola, Burakumin, Oru, parmi beaucoup d'autres noms. La discrimination sur le travail et l'ascendance (DWD - pour son sigle en anglais) est un phénomène mondial qui manque de reconnaissance publique et les communautés affectées sont parmi les personnes les plus marginalisées et exclues.
The rapid response of Africa to COVID-19 has been lauded as an effective campaign to combat the spread of COVID-19. Africa had approximately 106,000 deaths as of the 16th of July 2021, compared to over 1,950,000 in the Americas and over 1,200,000 in Europe. Between February 2020 and May 2021, 51 African countries introduced 238 social protection measures in response to the COVID-19 crisis, including health and food security measures, unemployment protection, income protection, housing, and special allowances. However, the region also faces daunting challenges, with the rapid population growth, high levels of poverty and hunger, and armed conflicts, all of which make implementing the broad and ambitious 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the region particularly difficult.
