Abstract:
SummaryThis paper examines fertility transition in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and second-largest city in sub-Saharan Africa. Shapiro (1996) documented the onset of fertility transition in the city, using data from 1990. Women's education was strongly inversely related to fertility, beginning with secondary schooling, and increases in women's education were important in initiating fertility transition in the city. The paper uses data from the 2007 Demographic and Health Survey in the DRC to examine fertility in Kinshasa and assess fertility transition since

Abstract. Soil erosion has detrimental impacts on socio economic life, thus increasing poverty. This situation is aggravated by poor planning and lack of infrastructure especially in developing countries. In these countries, efforts to planning are challenged by lack of data. Alternative approaches that use remote sensing and geographical information systems are therefore needed to provide decision makers with the so much needed information for planning purposes. This helps to curb the detrimental impacts of soil erosion, mostly emanating from varied land use conditions. This study was carried

Political identifications and mobilisations in Congo-Kinshasa. The observation of developments under the Kabila regime shows the importance of four factors of political identification and mobilisation : «nativeness», «Zairianity», «ethno-regionalism» and «generation». The second of these factors is linked to the conditions of the advent of a new government, while the others already had a driving force under the «democratic transition» and in previous periods in the history of the country.

Abstract Nigeria was the most important and successful field for UAC’s industrial investments in Black Africa. But broadly the same approach was adopted in the three other countries or areas which are examined in this chapter. The profile of UAC’s industrialization in Ghana was different from that in any other West African state. For reasons which were outlined above, conditions favouring or demanding import-substituting industrialization existed in Ghana as early as the mid-1950s; by 1959 what were to be the three main Unilever/UAC industrial enterprises in Ghana-breweries, detergents, and textiles-were either in operation or planned. By 1960 also Sewards had started a small manufacturing business in an old building in Jamestown, making balms and face-creams, and there was a vehicle-assembly plant in the new industrial and port area at Tema.

Abstract:
Abstract Proponents of the African Mining Consensus have argued that foreign-owned industrial mining will drive higher wages than those available in the surrounding economy, and the expenditure of these increased wages can stimulate broader local processes of economic development and structural transformation. This claim is also frequently promoted by the mining industry itself. The purpose of this chapter is to problematize this line of thinking. The main argument is that since the early twentieth century, most worker wages associated with foreign-owned mining in South Kivu have been comparable to, or below, those found in labour-intensive mining locally and generally stagnant. Combined with the high capture of total wages by a narrow foreign managerial class, this has limited the ability of worker wages to stimulate economic development. Meanwhile, the global industry shift to corporate outsourcing in the twenty-first century has weakened the collective strength of workers to resist and transform their conditions.

The case study of the DRC is used to understand the role played by the state-owned mining company Gecamines to socio-economic conditions of employees and the country's development at large. Resource curse and realism theories are utilised in this case study to unpack the role of mineral resources to Gecamines employees' access to education and healthcare in particular and to the entire country in general. The chapter employed a case study design with a qualitative approach research in its endeavour of exploring Gecamines' socio-economic contribution to its employees. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Gecamines' managers, unskilled mine workers, and the Provincial Department of Mines' officers.

Abstract Chapter 4 focuses on Kofi Annan’s promotion and elevation of human rights in the work of the UN. It examines his vision for human rights; the use of the moral authority of the Secretary-Generalship in support of human rights; and mainstreaming human rights within the organization. He believed that democracy provides an environment for the protection and realization of human rights, and that the UN should nurture the conditions of democracy rather than fixate on its forms. He persuaded member states to create the Human Rights Council, alongside the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council, in order to establish human rights at their proper level within the system. The chapter includes a case study of his response to a human rights crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in his first year as Secretary-General, and his efforts to ensure respect for human rights during the campaign against terrorism after the 9/11 attacks in the US.
