PRESS RELEASE
Training workshop for the first cohort of the Pan African Local Government Peer Review Team
The Pan African Peer Review Program ambitions to bring a local and territorial perspective to the African Peer Review Mechanism of the African Union
RABAT, Morocco, October 27, 2017/ -- The United Cities and Local Governments of Africa (UCLG Africa) (www.AfriqueLocale.org/en) shall organize from 1 to 2 November 2017 at Rive Hotel (Rabat, Morocco), a training workshop for the first cohort of the members of Pan African Local Government Peer Review Team.

The Pan African Peer Review Program is set up by UCLG Africa to allow self assessment and peer learning within the local government community of Africa, with an aim to drastically improve the delivery capacity and good governance of local governments and their national associations.

The Pan African Peer Review Program ambitions to bring a local and territorial perspective to the African Peer Review Mechanism of the African Union (APRM).

This Program was launched in 2012 with the financial support of the Luxembourg Grand Duchy, and the technical support of the Local Government Association of England & Wales (LGA) of the United Kingdom. It started as a pilot project of 5 peer review exercises targeting 3 categories of cities that expressed interest for it: small (less than 100,000 inhabitants) in Otjiwarongo (Namibia); medium-size (between 100,000 and 1 million inhabitants); in Tiassale (Cote d’Ivoire); and major cities (over 1 million inhabitants) in Yaounde (Cameroon); as well as 2 national associations of local government in Ghana with the National Association of Local Government of Ghana (NALAG) and Uganda, with the Ugandan Local Government Association (ULGA). These peer review exercises were highly appreciated by the political leadership in all the five institutions, following which the office bearers of UCLG Africa decided to transform the pilot project into a full-fledged Pan African Local Government Peer Review Program.

The 2-day training workshop is meant to capacitate the local government officials and officers that volunteered to serve as members of the Pan African Local Government Review Team to master the process and skills needed to efficiently implement a peer review exercise.

The workshop will be attended by 35 participants from all the regions of Africa, and will include: Political Leaders; City Managers; Chief City Finance Officers; Chief City Technical Officers; Permanent Secretaries of National Associations of Local Governments; Directors of UCLG-Africa Regional Offices.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

Saudi King urges U.N. action against religious insults

Saudi King Abdullah urged the United Nations to produce a resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after the anti-Islam film in the U.S. that sparked deadly protests in many Muslim countries last month. (AFP) By AFP, MINA/SAUDI ARABIA Saudi King Abdullah on Saturday demanded a U.N. resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after a low-budget film produced in the U.S. sparked deadly protests last month. “I demand a U.N. resolution that condemns any country or group that insults religions and prophets,” he said during a meeting at his palace with religious figures and heads of hajj delegations in the Mina valley where pilgrims were performing final rituals of hajj. “It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the prophets.” A low-budget film produced in the U.S., Innocence of Muslims, triggered a wave of deadly anti-American violence last month across the Muslim world targeting US symbols ranging ...
