Extractions: TOP Title: "The Contribution of the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund [ACGSF] to Agricultural Development During the Structural Adjustment Programme [1986 - 1996]." The major finding of this MSc dissertation is the confirmation of the fact that small - scale farmers are the major beneficiaries of the structural adjustment programme. Not even in one sector of all areas considered for loans were they left out. They had a substantial award of loans when the performance, even on state by state basis was examined; the small - scale farmers were in the fore-front when consideration for the crop and livestock loans were made, and this in terms of size and value. The significance of this findings lies in the fact that 60 - 80 percent of the farming population in nigeria are small - scale farmers.

In an unprecedented meeting convened by IUCN, speakers from Greenpeace, WWF, Oxfam, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Business Action for Sustainable Development (BASD) and the International Chamber of Commerce voiced their shared concern over the lack of progress and government leadership in finalizing the WSSD agenda. After a three-day marathon of negotiations, the world's Ministers of Environment leave Bali with no new targets or timelines agreed for addressing global environmental and social challenges. Bali was the last stop before the Heads of State convene in Johannesburg in some 80 days.

Extractions: August 28, 2002 An international coalition of groups gathered in Johannesburg for the Earth Summit has released a set of principles aimed at "putting a human face" on climate change. The Bali Principles of Climate Justice redefine climate change from a human rights and environmental justice perspective. The principles were developed by the coalition which includes CorpWatch, Third World Network, Oil Watch, the Indigenous Environmental Network, among others at the final preparatory negotiations for the Earth Summit in Bali in June 2002. Climate change may very well be the biggest threat facing humanity. Yet, the negotiations to find solutions have so far been mired mostly in the technical arena, and have been derailed by special interest groups such as large oil, coal and utility companies and governments such as the United States. The latest example are the efforts to sideline renewable energy plans at the Johannesburg Summit. For many, the issue of climate is a matter of life and death. The biggest injustice of climate change is that the hardest hit are the least responsible for contributing to the problem. The Bali Principles of Climate Justice seek to broaden the constituency providing leadership on climate change. They do so by linking local community issues to climate change. The Climate Justice coalition together with its members from India the National Fishworkers Forum, the National Alliance of People's Movements and Mines, Minerals and People also extend an invitation to the international community to participate in the Climate Justice Summit slated for New Delhi from October 26-28, 2002- parallel to the COP8 meeting on the Kyoto Protocol. The Summit will consist of a series of events that will emphasize the real impacts of climate change on people, while exposing the special interests at work in derailing the efforts to genuinely address the problem.

Extractions: Lecture: Indigenous People and Environment. The term "indigenous" refers to a situation where there is an original group of people living in a particular area and a more recent group gains control of the nation state in which they still live. e.g. the Aborigines or the Native Americans. However this is not always the issue. For example in Thailand and Indonesia, the issue seems to be more about groups that are part of an original ethnic cultural racial mix that still occupies the whole territory of the nation state = e.g. broadly "Malays" in Indonesia. In this context the term "indigenous" can refer to a group that have held out against the culture, religion and state power of a conquering state and maintained their original culture. For example animists in Bali who were never converted to Hinduism at the time when the Hindu state took over most of Bali. In the Indian subcontinent these people are usually called "tribals"; i.e. they have lived in autonomous tribes that have not been brought within the Indian state or religions of the pre-colonial period. In either case, the term "indigenous" describes a political situation. It is a situation of marginalisation in relationship to a state apparatus that has taken over the area in which the indigenous people live.

DIMIA Successes People smuggling is the organised illegal movement of groups or individuals to another country. People pay smugglers for many reasons, including to seek protection, because of limited opportunity for legitimate migration and to pursue economic opportunity. Trafficking in unauthorised arrivals (or 'illegal entrants') is lucrative and low risk for people smugglers, and is increasingly the work of sophisticated and highly organised networks. Australia has experienced an influx of boat people, mainly from the Middle East, a region where people smuggling networks are operating.
Extractions: Arctic natives will be banned from hunting whales for food and clothing after the International Whaling Commission (IWC) voted against renewing their rights for the first time. Japan led a rebellion against what it called the hypocrisy of anti-whaling countries after it lost a vote earlier this week to extend whaling in its own coastal areas. US delegate Rolland Schmitten Representatives of the indigenous peoples of Alaska and Russia said the ban would leave them hungry and national delegates from the US and UK accused Japan of playing politics. The conference, in the Japanese town of Shimonoseki, which is 825 km (515 miles) south-west of Tokyo, has been marked by acrimonious exchanges and procedural bickering which have delayed the agenda. Isolated arctic communities had been permitted to catch a small number of whales for their subsistence needs ever since the commission - established to conserve whale stocks - first considered the issue about 30 years ago.
Extractions: The International Whaling Commission's (IWC) summit in Japan has ended with the ban on commercial hunting in place for another year, but nations divided over whaling for indigenous peoples. A move to allow aboriginal whaling was defeated after pro-whaling nations voted down a compromise giving indigenous peoples in the US and Russia rights to hunt a limited number of whales for their own consumption. US delegate Rolland Schmitten Japan led the rebellion against what it considers a hypocritical measure after it lost a vote earlier this week to extend whaling in its own coastal areas. Correspondents say the conference - in the Japanese town of Shimonoseki - was the most divisive in years, marred by unprecedented bitterness between the pro- and anti-whaling nations.

Extractions: The oldest independent country in Africa, and one of the oldest in the world, Ethiopia boasts the distinction of being the only African nation to maintain its freedom from colonial rule. It has governed itself independently for at least 2000 years, with the exception of a short period of Italian occupation from 1936 to 1941. Since the military overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974, Ethiopia has been plagued by coups, uprisings, drought, and refugee problems. A coalition of rebel groups took over the military junta in 1991, and in 1994 a constitution was adopted. The following year, the first multiparty elections were held. A 2-1/2 year border war with neighboring Eritrea ended in December 2000, which strengthened the ruling coalition, but huge economic problems remain. A bit less than twice the size of Texas, landlocked Ethiopia lies just north of the equator in eastern Africa. It has high plateau topography with a central mountain range that's divided by the Great Rift Valley. Only 12 percent of the terrain is arable, and only 1 percent is in permanent crops, yet agriculture represents 90 percent of the country's exports and 80 percent of its total employment. Coffee is critical to the Ethiopian economy; 25 percent of the population depend on the coffee sector for their income. Frequent drought and poor cultivation practices force 4.6 million Ethiopians to seek food assistance annually.

With its looming sand dunes, barren mountains, stark coastline, and diverse wildlife gathered around the country's few permanent sources of water, Namibia's wilds can be explored with remarkable ease, due to the country's comparatively well-developed infrastructure. The overriding physical characteristic of the country is the vast Namib Naukluft desert. This is Africa's largest conserved wilderness, encompassing dunes, plains, canyons and mountains. Although seemingly desolate, the desert is rich in wildlife: hundreds of endemic species of birds and mammals gather around the rare waters. The country is best visited during the dry winter, which runs from May to October. Temperatures vary wildly throughout the country. The coast is generally from 15 - 25 C throughout the year, although fog makes mornings and evenings quite chilly. The north of the country, where
