To be classified as beneficials, these products should come from plants that grow well on poor quality land, i.e. do not compete with crop land, they should not act as weeds, they should not support crop pests, and the products should be easily prepared. Some degree of success in the commercial production of these materials has been attained, e.g. rotenone, pyrethrum, nicotine, and neem. Usually, however, these are quite expensive when purchased on the open market. Cheaper when on-farm produced. Commercial plantations are not without pest problems. Tephrosia, for example, suffers from insects, nematodes, damping off, and problems with seed production. Even pyrethrum plants suffer from nematode problems in the foliage. Recently, neem has been hit with severe root rot problems. Further, identification of the active compound(s) in these plants is illusive and very expensive to pursue.

Extractions: Print Home Archive Français Contact Us ... Links Web Article Among the resources for indigenous peoples in the United Nations system is the Indigenous Knowledge for Development Program of the World Bank's Africa Region. The Program, which partners with over a dozen organizations, was launched in 1998 to respond to government leaders and civil society who had called for the Bank and other donors to learn from local communities at the first Global Knowledge Conference held in Toronto in June 1997. Indigenous knowledge (IK) is local knowledge unique to every culture or society and is the basis for local decision-making and problem solving in areas including, but not limited to, agriculture, health care, food preparation, education and natural resource management. IK is tacit knowledge traditionally held by communities rather than individuals and is commonly embedded in community practices, institutions, relationships and rituals and therefore, difficult to codify. According to the Program, the importance of such knowledge is fourfold. First, it provides problem-solving strategies for local communities, especially the poor. Historically, indigenous peoples have been the poorest and most excluded populations in the world. The Bank notes that there is often a high correlation between poverty and being indigenous.

Extractions: TALOFA The very first encounter I had with a Samoan impressed me. Latter on I met thousands when I worked for Sixth U.S. Army and the Presidio of San Francisco. Talofa means greetings in the Somoan language. Just like Aloha means to those of you who are very familiar with Hawaii. The Tongans greet you with Malo e Lelei as do the Fijians with Bula Vinaka. The great people of Tahiti greet you with Ia Orana and the people of Aotearoa known to us strangers as New Zealand christened by a White man long after it had a name of its own! In New Zealand the greeting Kia Ora. . The islands of Marquesas greet you with Kaoha. Which all brings to why Aloha is so close to the greeting from all these beautiful islands of the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. In Swahili the greeting is Jumbo, as Namaste is known all over the India. Let us forget about greetings and say Mahalo, which means Thank You. I have always loved the people of Polynesian ancestry just as I have worked hard to honor and love the First People of Africa and the United States. In fact all indigenous people are very close to my old dying heart. We have said on this website thanks to Joel Skidmore and others that the First People of San Francisco and the Bay Area the Muwekma Ohlone should be honored and their right to be put back on the Federal Registered honored by the United States government. It is a great shame that in San Francisco most people do not know about the Ohlone and even little about the Muwekma Ohlone.

Extractions: TANGANYIKA as a geographical and political entity did not take shape before the period of High Imperialism; it's name only came into use after GERMAN EAST AFRICA was transferred to Britain as a mandate by the League of Nations in 1920. What is referred to here therefore is the history of the region that was to become Tanganyika. German CARL PETERS had secured treaties with tribal leaders on East Africa's coast, providing the German government with legitimation to negotiate with Britain over spheres of interest in East Africa. In the treaty of 1886, Germany renounced it's claims on the WITU AREA (on Kenya's coast, north of Mombasa) and on Uganda, and Britain recognized Germany's claim to what was to become German East Africa. In another treaty of 1890, Germany traded the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba for the much smaller island of Heligoland, off Germany's coast in the North Sea. The Germans bought off the Sultan of Zanzibar's rights to the Tanganyikan coast for $ 800,000. The GERMAN EAST AFRICA COMPANY (founded 1887, succeeded by the German government in 1891) established BAGAMOYO as their colony's capital, soon moving it to DARESSALAAM. The colony was called DEUTSCH-OSTAFRIKA (German East Africa). The colony's borders had been established in treaties with Britain (Kenya, Uganda, Northern Rhodesia), Belgium (Belgian Congo) and Portugal (Mocambique); interests of the indigenous people were disregarded. From the coast, the Germans penetrated the country and established their rule. The currency was 1 Rupia = 64 Pesa.

Delegates who attended an international workshop on languages here recently said the absence of such policies makes it extremely difficult to develop local languages. They said strategic plans had to be put into place to ensure that more use of the languages was made in schools. The conference, which drew participants from Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia, said countries would develop faster if their people used a medium of communication which they were conversant with.

Its coast is lapped by the Indian Ocean and it shares the vast waters of Lake Victoria with its western and southern neighbours. The Rift Valley and Central Highlands area form the backbone of the country, and this is where Kenya's scenery is at its most spectacular. The humid coastal belt includes the Tana River estuary and a string of good beaches. Western Kenya takes in the fertile fringes of Lake Victoria and, with the southern part of the country, some prime wildlife parks. The vast, arid northen region is where Kenya is at its wildest and most untouched by the modern world. Kenya's climate varies enormously from place to place. The Rift Valley offers the most agreeable weather, while the arid bushlands and semi-desert regions can range from daytime highs of up to 40° Celsius to lows of about 20° Celsius at night. Western Kenya and the eastern coastal fringe are generally hot and humid year-round. FAST FACTS Full Country Name: Republic of Kenya Area: 583,000 sq km

GORP - Africa Face To Face People will take up the role of mwalimu (teacher) if they see that you are trying What is true of swahili is doubly true of other indigenous East African http://gorp.away.com/gorp/location/africa/kenya/afrface.htm
Extractions: By Dave Blanton - Voyagers International A growing number of visitors are discovering that in addition to having wildlife and natural beauty, East Africa also wears a very human face. Years as a tourist destination have done relatively little to erode traditional East African hospitality, especially outside of the metropolitan and tourist centers. As a short-term visitor, you will have contacts primarily with those in the tourist industry. But you can meet people and learn about traditional and modern culture, and go beyond the stereotyped tourist role. Here are some ideas that will help. Meeting People East Africa's cities are relatively hurried and impersonal by traditional African standards. Although it's not recommended that you approach someone on the street (or befriend someone who approaches you), there are places where it's easier to meet people. Restaurants, cafis, and bars are likely places, although if you visit the well-known tourist spots, you will probably meet another foreigner. In Nairobi try Nairobi University, the French Cultural Center, or the University Theater.
