Zulu Kassena People "Kassena peoples belong to a larger subset of peoples in the area of southern Burkina Faso and northern Ghana collectively known as Gurunsi. This term is applied to these peoples, who share common histories, languages, and political structures, but it also carries pejorative overtones in local usage. Most of Gurunsi live in modern day Burkina Faso, and the degree to which recent Kassena history differs from their northerly neighbors, such as the Nuna, Bwa, and Winiama, is because they live in modern day Ghana."

Extractions: Rainforest for Health: A Travelling Expedition The project is a jointly funded activity by the Centre, GEF/SGP, and the Royal Netherlands Embassy of Ghana to show a travelling exhibition prepared by the Rainforest Medical Foundation (RMF) to a wide spectrum of audience in the southern rainforest region of Ghana. The emphasis of the exhibition is to show the significance of the loss of medicinal plants and diseases of and from deforestation particularly because hitherto not much attention had been given to the impending rainforest catastrophe. It is generally accepted that medicinal plants provide the raw materials for at least 25 % of allotrophic western drugs. The exhibits travelled to all 7 Regional capitals in the forest zone of Ghana and received high recommendation. Bio Afforestation and Agroforestry The project was located in Funsi, on the northwestern border of Mole National Park Ghanas premier wildlife park. The park is threatened by deforestation, bushfires, poaching of wildlife and encroachment by fringe communities for farmland. The project worked with 5 communities to reduce the incidence of bushfires and encroachment by assisting communities to develop afforestation and agroforestry plots Bio Afforestation and Agroforestry to Reduce the Depletion of Forest Harbouring Monkey Sanctuary The Busunya Forest forms part of a larger forest ecosystem that harbours large numbers of threatened Mona Monkeys, Cercopithecus mona and Black and White colobus Monkeys, Colobus polykomos. The major threat to this ecosystem is deforestation through logging, firewood extraction and shifting cultivation. Project developed a nursery that supplied seedlings to the community for afforestation and agroforestry.Interest in project resulted in seven communities coming together to protect the Buabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary.

Carleton College: Art Gallery: Burkina Faso centuries ago, they subjugated indigenous populations fiercely independent, politically decentralized peoples to the including the Bwa, Bobo, kassena, Lela, Lobi http://www.carleton.edu/campus/gallery/exhibitions/2002/burkinaFaso/
Extractions: April 3 - May 8, 2002 The art works gathered here come from Burkina Faso, the West African nation formerly known as Upper Volta. In 1984, former President Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) renamed the country Burkina Faso, drawing together words from the languages of the country's major populations, the Mossi and the Dyula. Roughly translated, Burkina Faso means "the land of upright people." Located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, with national boundaries drawn by the French during the colonial era, many diverse peoples live in this dry, landlocked country, independent since 1960. Burkina Faso's population is made up of more than sixty different ethnic groups. The country's complex cultural diversity is reflected in this exhibition which includes works of art by Bwa, Bobo, Kassena, Lela, Lobi, Mossi, Nuna, Nunama, Toussian, Turka, and Winiama artists. While Burkina Faso is often described as one of the most economically impoverished countries in the world, with an average annual per capita income of between two and three hundred dollars, in terms of cultural traditions, it is one of the richest places on earth. The peoples of Burkina Faso create a wide range of objects, diverse in form, function, size and scale, and employing many different materials and technologies. Within their original contexts, art works are valued not only for their aesthetic qualities, but also for their functional efficacy. In Burkina Faso, art is not just something to look at, but also serves life-sustaining purposes, vital to the well-being of individuals and the larger society.

Speaking after a five hours walk organised by the Ayawaso East Constituency branch executives of the NDC in Accra over the weekend. Hon. Enoch Teye Mensah, the NDC Member of Parliament for Ningo/Prampram in the Greater Accra region said the NDC would arrest the killers of the Ya-Na within six weeks of the day the party assumes office in 2005. According to him, the ruling NPP has failed to arrest the culprits of the heinous crime committed against the people of Dagbon because the NPP allegedly had a hand in the crime. They have refused to bring to book the perpetrators of the crime committed against humanity at Dagbon, he said, giving the assurance that the NDC would not relent in its efforts to arrest prosecute the killers of Ya-Na. Among other things, he called on the supporters to endeavour to turn out in their numbers to register to enable them vote in the general elections to unseat the NPP to bring back Sankofa' NDC. Taking part in the walk that started at Nima-Dunia Cinema through New Town to Pig Farm all the way to Accra Girls School and back to Nima roundabout were Prof. Mills, the party's flagbearer, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the flagbearer's campaign manager, Hon Dr Mustapha Mohammed, the MP for Ayawaso East, Hon E.T.

Extractions: Nomination Guidelines Rural women comprise more than one quarter of the total world population. 500 million women live below the poverty line in rural areas. Women produce 60-80 per cent of basic foodstuffs in sub-Sahara Africa and the Caribbean. Women perform over 50 per cent of the labour involved in intensive rice cultivation in Asia. Women perform 30 per cent of the agricultural work in industrialised countries. Women head 60 per cent of households in some regions of Africa. Women meet 90 per cent of household water and fuel needs in Africa. Women process 100% of basic household food stuffs in Africa. " Rural women the world over are an integral and vital force in the development processes that are the key to socio-economic progress. Rural women from the backbone of the agricultural labour force across much of the developing world and produce 35-45% of Gross Domestic Product and well over 50% of the developing world's food. Yet, half a billion rural women are poor and lack access to resources and markets " (Geneva Declaration for rural women 1992).

Extractions: The Humanities Collaborative Research Centre of the University of Bayreuth started officially on 1 July 2000. In its structure and goals the Centre represents a new focus in the Collaborative Research Centres (Sonderforschungsbereiche: SFB) financed by the German Research Council (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft: DFG). The special features of the Humanities Collaborative Research Centre lie in the specific thematic and structural criteria: a transdisciplinary approach, international cooperation and internationalisation of research with regard to the choice of the topic, as well as academic programmes aimed at strengthening support for younger scholars. Fifteen disciplines participate in the Centre: African Languages, Arabic Language, African Art, Development Sociology, Social Anthropology, English Linguistics, History of Africa, Comparative Law/Private International Law, Islamic Studies, Cultural Geography, African Languages Literature, Plant Physiology, Religious Studies, Religious Socialisation, and Social Geography. In addition, the Centre is linked to the University's newly established Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in Africa-related studies. The aim of the Centre is to examine local action in the context of global influences. 'Local' is understood as a constantly changing social and spatial context. The Centre focuses on current situations, but comparisons are made with past phenomena. In contradistinction to the usual perspective in globalisation paradigms, we emphasize the historical dimension of globalisation processes understanding them as global tendencies. Furthermore, we also do research on the processes of indirect globalisation, that is, processes by which globalisation does not directly affect the local, but rather changes the relationships between local unities. Field research in Africa is basic to the Centre. By way of concrete examples, the various projects will demonstrate how social interactions take on new dimensions and meanings and are transformed because of changing living conditions in African rural and urban communities as a result of globalisation.
