EDITORIALThe start of a new year is a time to introduce new prospects plans and projects Based on past experiences and outcomes re-evaluating onersquos focus is often aimed at making adjustments and identifying various options for making a new start The year 2010 will mark the end of the first decade of the new millennium The end of the decade is an opportunity to examine past achievements and measure the extent to which we have all implemented the resolutions made at the beginning of the centuryThis new year also coincides with the celebration of the first fifty years of independence for a third of the African continent and heralds in an era of dynamism and intense retrospective focus among policy makers on the sensitive domains of politics economics and social affairs Unlike previous occasions however such retrospection will need to take into account the cultural aspects of
the peoplersquos development After all culture the African identity the need for integration and the pan-African ideal have been the driving forces behind independence movements We were eloquently reminded of this during the centenary celebrations in honour of Alioune Diop the Senegalese Founder of PRESENCE AFRICAIN held in Paris and Saint-Louis and of Kwame Nkrumah held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa and in Accra This truth was proclaimed during the Second Pan-African Festival on Culture held in Algiers in July 2009 FESMAN III scheduled to take place in December 2010 in Dakar will continue to proclaim this message loudly and clearlyHowever is culture merely a question of making declarations and proclamationsThe series of events marking the start of the new year will bear in mind the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and the inalienable role of African forests - especially their lungs the Congo Basin - in the strategy to mitigate natural disasters and their impact on entire populations The Haiti earthquake stimulated global solidarity on a massive scale but also highlighted the extent of the apocalyptic threat preying on Mother Earth and the need to revise infrastructural urban planning and housing management strategies and to introduce lifestyle changes in large cities and towns This was an important focus of discussions during the international meetings held in December 2009 in Marrakech MoroccoWhat policies what agendas should be put in place to set new poles of development in the face of the challenges posed by mushrooming megacities - Cairo to the north Nairobi to the east Lagos to the west Kinshasa in the centre and Johannesburg to the south How do we do this in the face of all the ills plaguing the world and Africa and its billions of inhabitants conflict misunderstandings disease inequalities poverty and hungerAfter all we are not only rejoicing and celebrating2010 takes off with much fanfare with the African Cup of Nations in Angola This will be followed in June by the World Cup in South Africa and will end with the grand finale the 3rd World Festival of African Arts in SenegalThe 9 December to 10 January edition of THE AFRICA REPORT is entitled Africa in 2010 - much more than football highlighting how there is more to Africa than football It is up to national and community leaders to use these events to chart the way forward with a focus on key issues and to formulate and implement clear and strict policies for the well-being of their people Maputo 21 January 2010Lupwishi Mbuyamba

EDITORIALThe start of a new year is a time to introduce new prospects plans and projects Based on past experiences and outcomes re-evaluating onersquos focus is often aimed at making adjustments and identifying various options for making a new start The year 2010 will mark the end of the first decade of the new millennium The end of the decade is an opportunity to examine past achievements and measure the extent to which we have all implemented the resolutions made at the beginning of the centuryThis new year also coincides with the celebration of the first fifty years of independence for a third of the African continent and heralds in an era of dynamism and intense retrospective focus among policy makers on the sensitive domains of politics economics and social affairs Unlike previous occasions however such retrospection will need to take into account the cultural aspects of
the peoplersquos development After all culture the African identity the need for integration and the pan-African ideal have been the driving forces behind independence movements We were eloquently reminded of this during the centenary celebrations in honour of Alioune Diop the Senegalese Founder of PRESENCE AFRICAIN held in Paris and Saint-Louis and of Kwame Nkrumah held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa and in Accra This truth was proclaimed during the Second Pan-African Festival on Culture held in Algiers in July 2009 FESMAN III scheduled to take place in December 2010 in Dakar will continue to proclaim this message loudly and clearlyHowever is culture merely a question of making declarations and proclamationsThe series of events marking the start of the new year will bear in mind the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and the inalienable role of African forests - especially their lungs the Congo Basin - in the strategy to mitigate natural disasters and their impact on entire populations The Haiti earthquake stimulated global solidarity on a massive scale but also highlighted the extent of the apocalyptic threat preying on Mother Earth and the need to revise infrastructural urban planning and housing management strategies and to introduce lifestyle changes in large cities and towns This was an important focus of discussions during the international meetings held in December 2009 in Marrakech MoroccoWhat policies what agendas should be put in place to set new poles of development in the face of the challenges posed by mushrooming megacities - Cairo to the north Nairobi to the east Lagos to the west Kinshasa in the centre and Johannesburg to the south How do we do this in the face of all the ills plaguing the world and Africa and its billions of inhabitants conflict misunderstandings disease inequalities poverty and hungerAfter all we are not only rejoicing and celebrating2010 takes off with much fanfare with the African Cup of Nations in Angola This will be followed in June by the World Cup in South Africa and will end with the grand finale the 3rd World Festival of African Arts in SenegalThe 9 December to 10 January edition of THE AFRICA REPORT is entitled Africa in 2010 - much more than football highlighting how there is more to Africa than football It is up to national and community leaders to use these events to chart the way forward with a focus on key issues and to formulate and implement clear and strict policies for the well-being of their people Maputo 21 January 2010Lupwishi Mbuyamba

the peoplersquos development After all culture the African identity the need for integration and the pan-African ideal have been the driving forces behind independence movements We were eloquently reminded of this during the centenary celebrations in honour of Alioune Diop the Senegalese Founder of PRESENCE AFRICAIN held in Paris and Saint-Louis and of Kwame Nkrumah held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa and in Accra This truth was proclaimed during the Second Pan-African Festival on Culture held in Algiers in July 2009 FESMAN III scheduled to take place in December 2010 in Dakar will continue to proclaim this message loudly and clearlyHowever is culture merely a question of making declarations and proclamationsThe series of events marking the start of the new year will bear in mind the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and the inalienable role of African forests - especially their lungs the Congo Basin - in the strategy to mitigate natural disasters and their impact on entire populations The Haiti earthquake stimulated global solidarity on a massive scale but also highlighted the extent of the apocalyptic threat preying on Mother Earth and the need to revise infrastructural urban planning and housing management strategies and to introduce lifestyle changes in large cities and towns This was an important focus of discussions during the international meetings held in December 2009 in Marrakech MoroccoWhat policies what agendas should be put in place to set new poles of development in the face of the challenges posed by mushrooming megacities - Cairo to the north Nairobi to the east Lagos to the west Kinshasa in the centre and Johannesburg to the south How do we do this in the face of all the ills plaguing the world and Africa and its billions of inhabitants conflict misunderstandings disease inequalities poverty and hungerAfter all we are not only rejoicing and celebrating2010 takes off with much fanfare with the African Cup of Nations in Angola This will be followed in June by the World Cup in South Africa and will end with the grand finale the 3rd World Festival of African Arts in SenegalThe 9 December to 10 January edition of THE AFRICA REPORT is entitled Africa in 2010 - much more than football highlighting how there is more to Africa than football It is up to national and community leaders to use these events to chart the way forward with a focus on key issues and to formulate and implement clear and strict policies for the well-being of their people Maputo 21 January 2010Lupwishi Mbuyamba

C3 Handicraft in CameroonBy creating MINPMEESA in December 2004 the government of Cameroon had established a framework that has helped to elevate handicraft to the level of government function Law No 2007004 of July 3 2007 came to consolidate this achievement by regulating the sub-sectorThis set of trades which the Cameroonian State gives support and consideration even more than before is becoming a growth factor and a vector of struggle against unemployment and endemic poverty Handicraft as valued is a noble activity and a means of incentive to individual and professional entrepreneurship patrimony

EDITORIALThe start of a new year is a time to introduce new prospects plans and projects Based on past experiences and outcomes re-evaluating onersquos focus is often aimed at making adjustments and identifying various options for making a new start The year 2010 will mark the end of the first decade of the new millennium The end of the decade is an opportunity to examine past achievements and measure the extent to which we have all implemented the resolutions made at the beginning of the centuryThis new year also coincides with the celebration of the first fifty years of independence for a third of the African continent and heralds in an era of dynamism and intense retrospective focus among policy makers on the sensitive domains of politics economics and social affairs Unlike previous occasions however such retrospection will need to take into account the cultural aspects of
the peoplersquos development After all culture the African identity the need for integration and the pan-African ideal have been the driving forces behind independence movements We were eloquently reminded of this during the centenary celebrations in honour of Alioune Diop the Senegalese Founder of PRESENCE AFRICAIN held in Paris and Saint-Louis and of Kwame Nkrumah held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa and in Accra This truth was proclaimed during the Second Pan-African Festival on Culture held in Algiers in July 2009 FESMAN III scheduled to take place in December 2010 in Dakar will continue to proclaim this message loudly and clearlyHowever is culture merely a question of making declarations and proclamationsThe series of events marking the start of the new year will bear in mind the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and the inalienable role of African forests - especially their lungs the Congo Basin - in the strategy to mitigate natural disasters and their impact on entire populations The Haiti earthquake stimulated global solidarity on a massive scale but also highlighted the extent of the apocalyptic threat preying on Mother Earth and the need to revise infrastructural urban planning and housing management strategies and to introduce lifestyle changes in large cities and towns This was an important focus of discussions during the international meetings held in December 2009 in Marrakech MoroccoWhat policies what agendas should be put in place to set new poles of development in the face of the challenges posed by mushrooming megacities - Cairo to the north Nairobi to the east Lagos to the west Kinshasa in the centre and Johannesburg to the south How do we do this in the face of all the ills plaguing the world and Africa and its billions of inhabitants conflict misunderstandings disease inequalities poverty and hungerAfter all we are not only rejoicing and celebrating2010 takes off with much fanfare with the African Cup of Nations in Angola This will be followed in June by the World Cup in South Africa and will end with the grand finale the 3rd World Festival of African Arts in SenegalThe 9 December to 10 January edition of THE AFRICA REPORT is entitled Africa in 2010 - much more than football highlighting how there is more to Africa than football It is up to national and community leaders to use these events to chart the way forward with a focus on key issues and to formulate and implement clear and strict policies for the well-being of their people Maputo 21 January 2010Lupwishi Mbuyamba

EDITORIALThe start of a new year is a time to introduce new prospects plans and projects Based on past experiences and outcomes re-evaluating onersquos focus is often aimed at making adjustments and identifying various options for making a new start The year 2010 will mark the end of the first decade of the new millennium The end of the decade is an opportunity to examine past achievements and measure the extent to which we have all implemented the resolutions made at the beginning of the centuryThis new year also coincides with the celebration of the first fifty years of independence for a third of the African continent and heralds in an era of dynamism and intense retrospective focus among policy makers on the sensitive domains of politics economics and social affairs Unlike previous occasions however such retrospection will need to take into account the cultural aspects of
the peoplersquos development After all culture the African identity the need for integration and the pan-African ideal have been the driving forces behind independence movements We were eloquently reminded of this during the centenary celebrations in honour of Alioune Diop the Senegalese Founder of PRESENCE AFRICAIN held in Paris and Saint-Louis and of Kwame Nkrumah held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa and in Accra This truth was proclaimed during the Second Pan-African Festival on Culture held in Algiers in July 2009 FESMAN III scheduled to take place in December 2010 in Dakar will continue to proclaim this message loudly and clearlyHowever is culture merely a question of making declarations and proclamationsThe series of events marking the start of the new year will bear in mind the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and the inalienable role of African forests - especially their lungs the Congo Basin - in the strategy to mitigate natural disasters and their impact on entire populations The Haiti earthquake stimulated global solidarity on a massive scale but also highlighted the extent of the apocalyptic threat preying on Mother Earth and the need to revise infrastructural urban planning and housing management strategies and to introduce lifestyle changes in large cities and towns This was an important focus of discussions during the international meetings held in December 2009 in Marrakech MoroccoWhat policies what agendas should be put in place to set new poles of development in the face of the challenges posed by mushrooming megacities - Cairo to the north Nairobi to the east Lagos to the west Kinshasa in the centre and Johannesburg to the south How do we do this in the face of all the ills plaguing the world and Africa and its billions of inhabitants conflict misunderstandings disease inequalities poverty and hungerAfter all we are not only rejoicing and celebrating2010 takes off with much fanfare with the African Cup of Nations in Angola This will be followed in June by the World Cup in South Africa and will end with the grand finale the 3rd World Festival of African Arts in SenegalThe 9 December to 10 January edition of THE AFRICA REPORT is entitled Africa in 2010 - much more than football highlighting how there is more to Africa than football It is up to national and community leaders to use these events to chart the way forward with a focus on key issues and to formulate and implement clear and strict policies for the well-being of their people Maputo 21 January 2010Lupwishi Mbuyamba

EDITORIALThe start of a new year is a time to introduce new prospects plans and projects Based on past experiences and outcomes re-evaluating onersquos focus is often aimed at making adjustments and identifying various options for making a new start The year 2010 will mark the end of the first decade of the new millennium The end of the decade is an opportunity to examine past achievements and measure the extent to which we have all implemented the resolutions made at the beginning of the centuryThis new year also coincides with the celebration of the first fifty years of independence for a third of the African continent and heralds in an era of dynamism and intense retrospective focus among policy makers on the sensitive domains of politics economics and social affairs Unlike previous occasions however such retrospection will need to take into account the cultural aspects of
the peoplersquos development After all culture the African identity the need for integration and the pan-African ideal have been the driving forces behind independence movements We were eloquently reminded of this during the centenary celebrations in honour of Alioune Diop the Senegalese Founder of PRESENCE AFRICAIN held in Paris and Saint-Louis and of Kwame Nkrumah held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa and in Accra This truth was proclaimed during the Second Pan-African Festival on Culture held in Algiers in July 2009 FESMAN III scheduled to take place in December 2010 in Dakar will continue to proclaim this message loudly and clearlyHowever is culture merely a question of making declarations and proclamationsThe series of events marking the start of the new year will bear in mind the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and the inalienable role of African forests - especially their lungs the Congo Basin - in the strategy to mitigate natural disasters and their impact on entire populations The Haiti earthquake stimulated global solidarity on a massive scale but also highlighted the extent of the apocalyptic threat preying on Mother Earth and the need to revise infrastructural urban planning and housing management strategies and to introduce lifestyle changes in large cities and towns This was an important focus of discussions during the international meetings held in December 2009 in Marrakech MoroccoWhat policies what agendas should be put in place to set new poles of development in the face of the challenges posed by mushrooming megacities - Cairo to the north Nairobi to the east Lagos to the west Kinshasa in the centre and Johannesburg to the south How do we do this in the face of all the ills plaguing the world and Africa and its billions of inhabitants conflict misunderstandings disease inequalities poverty and hungerAfter all we are not only rejoicing and celebrating2010 takes off with much fanfare with the African Cup of Nations in Angola This will be followed in June by the World Cup in South Africa and will end with the grand finale the 3rd World Festival of African Arts in SenegalThe 9 December to 10 January edition of THE AFRICA REPORT is entitled Africa in 2010 - much more than football highlighting how there is more to Africa than football It is up to national and community leaders to use these events to chart the way forward with a focus on key issues and to formulate and implement clear and strict policies for the well-being of their people Maputo 21 January 2010Lupwishi Mbuyamba
