Slavery has been an ongoing concern in Africa for hundreds of years. Men, women, and children have been enslaved for many purposes. However, the question arises as to whether slavery was, and still is, a gender issue. Although both genders have suffered the binds of slavery, female and male slaves endured different hardships. Modern day slavery of females in Africa has brought attention to the issue of what role gender plays in this dilemma. There are two kinds of slavery that have affected African people. The first kind involves the purchasing and enslavement of Africans by foreigners. This includes North Americans and Europeans. The second kind of slavery is the purchasing and enslavement of Africans by other Africans. In modern times, the latter still exists. There is argument over the history of slavery in Africa. It has been said that slavery existed in Africa for years before foreigners came into the continent. Yet it is questionable as to what role foreign influence played in the development of slavery and the slave trade. Some say that the slave trade grew as a result of the demand for slaves from foreign countries.

Emmanuel Akyeampong (Harvard University)
The Social Setting of the Basel Missionaries
The Basel Mission Society (Evangelische Missionsgesellschaft Basel) was founded in 1815 in the city of Basel by members of the Deutsche Christentums Gesellschaft. One notable feature of the Basel Mission was that it was international and interdenominational from its onset. Its patrons were drawn the Pietist circles of Switzerland and neighboring southern Germany. The Pietist movement emerged in Germany in the late 17 th century, and shared important commonalities with the Protestant movement. It stressed the decentralization of church management and life, and preferred action to formalism. Protestantism had been declared in Basel in 1529. The Kingdom of Württemberg and the Principality of Baden in Germany were both major supporters of the Basel Mission. The establishment of the Basel Mission was part of a general trend in Europe towards the formation of mission societies among Protestants and the deployment of trained missionaries in foreign fields. The late 18 th and early 19 th centuries witnessed the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792; the London Missionary Society (non-denominational) in 1795; and the Church Missionary Society (Anglican), the Wesleyan Missionary Society (Methodist) and the Scottish Presbyterian Society were all formed in 1799. In North America the Board of Foreign Missions was established in 1810. These mission societies were an active part of the drive for the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of slaves in European colonies. In the first half of the nineteenth century, they extended their activities to the African continent in an endeavor to rectify the harm done by centuries of slave trading. The Basel Mission College was set up in 1816 to prepare missionaries from all over Europe for foreign mission work, reflecting a network that encompassed Pietists and Protestants.

Demographics and a Historical Perspective
A. Demographics Slightly under two thirds of 17.7 million Ghanaians lived in rural areas of the country. Ghana has a young population with 45 percent under age 15, 52 percent between ages 15 and 64, and 3 percent 65 and older. The 1995 birthrate was 44 per 1,000 population, and the death rate 12 per 1,000, giving an annual population growth rate of 3.0 percent. The average life expectancy for newborns in 1995 was 54 years for males and 58 for females. Infant mortality is 82 per 1,000 live births. Ghana has one physician per 22,452 persons. The per capita gross domestic product in 1995 was $1,500. B. A Brief Historical Perspective Ghana was named for an African empire that existed along the Niger River between 400 and 1240 of the Common Era. The country was ruled by Britain for 113 years as the Gold Coast. In 1956, the United Nations approved the merger of the Gold Coast with the British Togoland trust territory. In 1957, it emerged as the first country in black Africa to achieve independence from a European power. Since that time, Ghana has witnessed a seesaw of political power shared between military and elected governments. In the years immediately following independence, schools, hospitals, and roads were built, along with hydroelectric power plants and aluminum plants by President Nkrumah, but the economic situation deteriorated between the 1970s and late 1980s. J.J. Rawlings, a flight lieutenant who took over the administration of the country through a military coup in 1979 and again in 1981, won the national election and was sworn in as president in 1993.

Response: 1) WHO ARE THE KWAHU OF GHANA? The Kwahu are a main constituent kingdom of the Akan ethnic group. The Akan reside in clusters in southern and central Ghana, and the Kwahu reside in the eastern central part of the country. The common language of the Akan kingdoms is Akan, which has many dialects (Stoeltje 1997, p. 41-42; Encyclopedia of World Cultures 1995, p. 11; Associate Professor of Folklore 6 Oct. 1999). According to an associate professor at the Folklore Institute of Indiana University, the Kwahu are mountain-dwellers who are considered to be "wealthy,.. very successful traders...who reside at the top of a mountain, a location which is somewhat removed from the other Akan groups" (Associate Professor of Folklore 5 Sept. 1999, 6, 10 Oct. 1999). 2) WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE "QUEEN MOTHER" TRADITION AMONG THE KWAHU PEOPLE OF GHANA?

Nortey is a citizen of Ghana, where he received certification as a chartered public accountant before becoming an ordained Seventh-day Adventist minister and the president of the African-Indian Ocean Division. He presented the paper from which this essay is taken to a symposium for missiologists, August 1-5, 1988, at the European Institute of World Missions, Newbold College, England. The paper, in its original form, will be appearing in the published proceedings of the conference, available through Newbold College, Bracknell Berks., England. On Saturday July 16, 1988, in the company of a Seventh-day Adventist minister, I attend a church service at Accra New Town, the headquarters of the Kristo Asafo Mission Church. The founder of this independent African denomination grew up knowing Seventh-day Adventists, and the 350 congregations of his denomination worship on the seventh day of the week. On the farthest west is a table covered with white cloth. On each side of the table is a wooden lectern. On the west wall, behind the table, is a large wall clock, stuck between the carved wings of a golden eagle. On the table is a tall glass vase with artificial flowers in it. On each side of the flower vase is a table clock. Pictures of Bible characters and scenes are painted in lovely, bright colors all over the four walls. This morning, approximately 300 people are in attendance. The women and children are seated toward the pulpit, and the men are seated at the farthest east of the hall. The elders and two choirs sit apart from the worshippers. All the women have their heads covered with long, white shawls, which cover their shoulders also. At first sight, one has the feeling of seeing a Muslim assembly.

Problem Statement
The Akwasiho Village is located 60 miles from Kumasi, Ghana and suffers from the same malaise as many rural villages in developing countries. The number of able workers far exceeds the work opportunities. Few modern conveniences exist in the village and life is difficult. Many drift away from the village into Accra looking for work where it is also difficult to find. With very few skills, they find it very difficult to sustain themselves and to improve their quality of life. Akwasiho Village Objective Overview: The Solar Energy Project for Akwasiho Village is a part of a long term development project to create a Solar Village Living Center in the village. The project is a simple cost efficient way to improve the living conditions of the people of Akwasiho by introducing the use of solar energy technology as a source of sustainable development. The Kwahu Region is a peaceful stable population of approximately 300,000 people. The population is tri-modal-the old-over 50 years old; more than 40% under 15 years old; and those establishing families. The average education level is less than 8th grade which is the highest level of education available in Akwasiho Village.

Introduction Ghana , nation in West Africa, a former British colony known as the Gold Coast until 1957, when it became the first state in sub-Saharan Africa to gain political independence from European colonial rule. This densely populated, lowland country has a prosperous economy noted for its gold mining and its production of cacao, which is used to make cocoa and chocolate. Following its independence, Ghana assumed the leadership role in the African continent’s struggle for national liberation. A series of military coups and severe economic problems plagued Ghana from the late 1960s into the 1980s. However, Ghana reemerged in the 1990s as a democracy and a leading player in African affairs. The capital city of Accra is the largest city in the country. II.

Political Nations Ghana Ghana Republic of Ghana (or Ghana for short; formerly known as the Gold Coast ) - a nation in western Africa. Formed from the merger of the British colony of the Gold Coast and the Togoland trust territory, Ghana in 1957 became the first country in colonial Africa to gain its independence. A long series of coups resulted in the suspension of the constitution in 1981 and the banning of political parties. A new constitution, restoring multiparty politics, was approved in 1992. Lt. Jerry RAWLINGS, head of state since 1981, won presidential elections in 1992 and 1996, but was constitutionally prevented from running for a third term in 2000. He was succeeded by John KUFUOR, who defeated former Vice President Atta MILLS in a free and fair election. History
The history of the Gold Coast before the last quarter of the 15th century is derived primarily from oral tradition that refers to migrations from the ancient kingdoms of the western Soudan (the area of Mauritania and Mali). The Gold Coast was renamed Ghana upon independence in 1957 because of indications that present-day inhabitants descended from migrants who moved south from the ancient kingdom of Ghana. The first contact between Europe and the Gold Coast dates from 1470, when a party of Portuguese landed. In 1482, the Portuguese built Elmina Castle as a permanent trading base. The first recorded English trading voyage to the coast was made by Thomas Windham in 1553. During the next three centuries, the English, Danes, Dutch, Germans, and Portuguese controlled various parts of the coastal areas.

Summary
Purpose of Inspection Visit As a result of the Evaluation on Danidas Programme for Renovation and Shipment of Used Equipment, which Danida carried out in 1994, it was recommended that the MS Desk Officer for the Programme should pay a yearly inspection visit to selected recipient organisation countries. The purpose of the inspection visit was defined to check on the use, effect, appropriateness, etc, of the equipment and to that end, a checklist of questions to be covered was defined (copy enclosed). Furthermore, the purpose of the inspection visit has also been to get an impression of the social context to which the visited recipient organisations/friendship associations adhere in the various countries, of their interaction with the authorities, of the viability and sustainability of their activities. Recipient Countries Selected for the 1996 Inspection Visit As the above evaluation among other things had included project visits to recipient organisations in Eastern Africa (Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda)
