Agroforestry Parklands In Sub-Saharan Africa by an estimated 2.5 million people on the Parkia biglobosa are the most common indigenous parkland species 1996), northern Togo among the kabre (Enjalbert, 1956 http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/005/X3940E/X3940E02.htm
Extractions: A review of definitions and terminology Parkland trees stand out as an important component of the spatial structure of the landscape (Sautter, 1968, cited in Raison, 1988; Seignobos, 1982). Parkland attributes include a regular distribution of relatively even-aged trees or shrubs and a low tree density so that tree cover is never continuous. Their name derives from their resemblance to urban or rural recreational parks with large scattered trees in expanses of grass. Examples of parklands are more common in the semi-arid or subhumid tropics, and particularly in West Africa which will be the main subject of this report as it is of most of the literature reviewed in it. Parklands are not, however, limited to the Sahel and Sudan zones of Africa. While they may not generally be called parklands, systems with scattered trees in fields with similar appearance and purpose are also widespread in Zimbabwe (Campbell et al. , 1991) and Malawi (Maghembe and Seyani, 1991) and elsewhere in southern Africa. Several systems in Asia, Oceania, and Latin America would qualify as agroforestry parklands by definition. Information on practices in these areas is more limited, however (Baumer, 1994; Raison, 1988). In India, the well-known Prosopis cineraria is commonly protected in fields planted with millet and legumes, and occurs on fallows and grazing lands in the semi-arid zone of Rajasthan (Mann and Saxena, 1980). Farmers value its high ecological combining ability and suitability for pruning and fodder as well as its socio-cultural significance. Other species found in these systems include

On this day, the first meeting of the leaders of the Islamic world was held. In March 1970, in Jeddah, the First Islamic Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs set up a permanent General Secretariat to ensure a liaison and coordinated action among Member States. The Conference appointed its Secretary General and chose Jeddah as the Headquarters of the Organization, pending the liberation of Jerusalem, which would be the permanent Headquarters. In February 1972, the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers, meeting in its Third Session, adopted the Charter of the Organization, whose purpose is to strengthen solidarity and cooperation among Islamic States in the political, economic, cultural, scientific and social fields.

Cocoa, coffee, and cotton together generate about 30% of export earnings. Togo is self-sufficient in basic foodstuffs when harvests are normal, with occasional regional supply difficulties. In the industrial sector, phosphate mining is by far the most important activity, although it has suffered from the collapse of world phosphate prices and increased foreign competition. Togo serves as a regional commercial and trade center. The government's decade-long effort, supported by the World Bank and the IMF, to implement economic reform measures, encourage foreign investment, and bring revenues in line with expenditures has stalled. Political unrest, including private and public sector strikes throughout 1992 and 1993, has jeopardized the reform program, shrunk the tax base, and disrupted vital economic activity. The 12 January 1994 devaluation of the currency by 50% provided an important impetus to renewed structural adjustment; these efforts were facilitated by the end of strife in 1994 and a return to overt political calm. The 1998 presidential elections provide an important opportunity for Togo's evolving political system to demonstrate that the country can participate in a peaceful and effective manner with World Bank and IMF programs. Progress depends on continuing privatization, increased transparency in government accounting to accommodate increased social service outlays, and possible downsizing of the military, on which the regime has depended to stay in place.

French, the official language, is used in administration and documentation. The public primary schools combine French with Ewe or Kabye as languages of instruction, depending on the region. English is spoken in neighboring Ghana and is taught in Togolese secondary schools. As a result, many Togolese, especially in the south and along the Ghana border, speak some English.
