Africa Can Create Millions of Jobs Through Value-Addition To Commodities

Emmanuel Nnadozie, Director of Economic Development and NEPAD Division at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).

Africa can create millions of jobs through value-addition to commodities, says ECA's Nnadozie


ADDIS ABABA, December 7, 2012/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- Industrialization can help African countries grow at high levels, create millions of jobs for its young population and address poverty reduction in a sustainable manner, according to Emmanuel Nnadozie, Director of Economic Development and NEPAD Division at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).

In remarks made during this week's commemoration of Africa Industrialization Day, Nnadozie said that while Africa seeks to diversify its commodity-focused economies, there are opportunities in industrializing on the basis of its commodities as well. If Africa is exporting huge amounts of commodities, then according to Nnadozie, it is time to make more out of them by adding value, instead of exporting them in raw form.

“Creating linkages in the value chain is where the good jobs lie and we can get the benefits that lie therein,” he said adding that transforming enclave-economies linked to the industrial commodities, such as iron and copper by establishing forward and backward linkages offers opportunities for mining or transportation suppliers to be sourced within these communities. This, said Nnadozie, creates jobs and can be a “source of industrialization.”

Furthermore, with intra-African trade, countries can avoid the controversies within the international trade regime, such as the EU Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and escalated tariffs that result in unfair terms of trade between African countries and the European Union.

In a related session on imperatives for harnessing new public-private strategic investment partnerships in the industrial sector as powerful engines of economic growth in Africa, Nnadozie said that the consensus that manufacturing provides the greatest potential for job creation and creating domestic linkages warrants the focus on new means by which to harness all available investment for this sector. PPPs, he said, can propel the continent's own manufacturing as a main supplier of goods for domestic consumption.

“Businesses can share their progress in certain areas, such as pursuing trans-national trade and transactions, to cooperate in formulating more effective short, medium and long-term policies for trade and industrial development,” he said adding that the private sector holds valuable information on the potential of new industries and the means by which to productively guide assets, such as Africa's growing labour force and new financial investments to these industries.

Background:

Within the framework of the Second Industrial Development Decade for Africa (1991-2000), the UN General Assembly, in 1989, proclaimed 20 November Africa Industrialization Day (resolution 44/237). The Day is intended to mobilize the commitment of the international community to the industrialization of Africa.

This year's Africa Industrialization Day highlights the important role intra-African trade can play in reducing poverty, increasing food and nutrition security and supporting sustainable development.

The event also exhibited manufactured products such as Ethiopia's textile and leather industry.

The event was held at the headquarters of the African Union. It was organized by the African Union Commission, UNIDO and the ECA on 5th December 2012.

Hillary Clinton Wins Inaugural Fr. Aengus Finucane Award for Services to Humanity


7 Dec 2012 18:02 Africa/Lagos

Concern Worldwide Honors U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for Humanitarian Leadership with Inaugural Award in Dublin

NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- International humanitarian organization Concern Worldwide presented U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today with its inaugural Fr. Aengus Finucane Award for Services to Humanity.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121207/DC26085)

Secretary Clinton was in Dublin December 6 and 7 as part of her last official visit to Ireland to participate in the ministerial meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The Secretary also met with Irish officials to discuss areas of cooperation in promoting peace, human rights, and economic growth, and delivered a major speech on U.S. achievements in support of human rights globally. After that speech at Dublin City University, Concern Worldwide CEO Tom Arnold presented the Secretary with the award.

"There is no one more deserving or fitting for the first Fr. Aengus Finucane Award than Secretary Clinton," said Mr. Arnold. "In her time as Secretary of State, she has put development at the heart of U.S. foreign policy and led the world in the fight against under-nutrition, especially during the critical 1,000-day window from pregnancy to a child's second birthday—an effort that will improve the lives of tens of millions of women and children."

In its first year, the Fr. Aengus Finucane Award for Services to Humanity recognizes outstanding humanitarian leadership in memory of the life and work of Fr. Aengus Finucane, who was part of Concern's very first mission in response to the famine in Biafra in 1968 and went on to serve as Chief Executive from 1981 to 1997. He then moved to the United States to found Concern Worldwide U.S., where he served as Honorary President until his passing in October 2009.

Before receiving the award, Secretary Clinton spoke about human rights and the continued struggle for gender equality. "We are on the right side of history in this struggle, but there will be many sacrifices and losses until we finally reach a point where daughters are valued as sons, where girls are as educated as boys, where women are encouraged and permitted to make their contributions to their families, to their societies just as the men are," she said.

"The whole purpose of Fr. Aengus' life was to improve the lives of others," said Mr. Arnold. "He passionately believed that we could never break the cycle of poverty and hunger if we did not invest in women and girls and fight to give them equal opportunities. This is exactly what Secretary Clinton stands for and therefore it is very appropriate that Secretary Clinton is the first recipient of this honor."

The Top 200 Business Schools in the World



London Business School, INSEAD and Harvard are the preferred choice of international recruiters according to the 2012/13 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report published today at http://www.topmba.com.

     (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120528/533559 )


This major research into MBA graduate employability is based on the largest survey of global employer opinion in existence
MBA employers were asked to identify the business schools of which they prefer to recruit from. The 3305 respondents also identified schools they deem to produce excellent hires in ten areas of elective specialization: finance; strategy; marketing; entrepreneurship; CSR; information management; innovation; leadership, operations management, and international management.

The report points to a leading cluster of 39 'elite global' business schools spread across North America (22), Europe (14) and Asia-Pacific (3). While the US total of 15 'elite global' schools is unsurpassed, only Harvard boasts a comparable employer reputation to London Business School and INSEAD.
Graduates from top European schools are shown to earn higher average salaries* than their North American counterparts. Graduate salaries at Europe's 'elite global' schools averaged US$109,300, compared to US$101,100 in North America.

However, while Europe's schools performed well for employability and graduate salaries, when it comes to specializations the US schools dominate. Harvard places number one in four of the 10 subjects covered, ahead of MIT-Sloan (2), INSEAD (1), Kellogg, Northwestern (1), Stanford (1) and Wharton (1).
Nunzio Quacquarelli, managing director of QS says, "This year's report finds record numbers of companies turning towards hiring MBAs, underlining the value of the qualification in today's globalized economy."
Quacquarelli continues: "The report reveals that graduates of Europe's top business schools are increasingly in demand for their ability to lead and innovate and for transferring best practice management skills to fast-growing emerging economies around the world."

MBAs from Indian schools emerge as the world's most academically qualified. Average GMAT scores at IIM Bangalore and IIM Ahmedabad are the highest in the world, comfortably ahead of any of the top schools from Europe or the US.

Australia To Lead LNG Market by 2017



Australia to Lead LNG Market by 2017 With Liquefaction Capacity Expected to Reach 124 Million Tons by 2017

DALLAS, December 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --


ReportsnReports.com updates its store with market research report "LNG Industry to 2017 - Australia to Overtake Qatar as Global Market Leader in LNG Liquefaction Capacity Due to Recent Discoveries, Planned Projects and Investments".

Qatar is currently the world's largest LNG exporter, but risks stagnation, as the country shows no plans for capacity additions in the near future. Qatar boasted a liquefaction capacity of 77.5 million tons in 2011, but this doesn't look to change significantly, whereas Australia's modest liquefaction capacity of 20 million tons in 2011 is expected to reach 124 million tons by 2017.

FLNG terminals are expected to be a technology game-changer in the future LNG industry, due to enormous advantages, despite the technology still being in development stages and yet to commence commercial operation. In the near future it is expected that 10% of LNG produced globally will be a product of natural gas extracted from offshore basins, which is around 40% less expensive than that from onshore natural gas projects.

Australia has shown its ambitions as a LNG hub through their FLNG activity. After spending many years in R&D and investing over $500m, Dutch major Shell announced its Final Investment Decision (FID) to construct a floating LNG project at Australia's Prelude field in May 2011. The project is expected to start by 2017, with a processing capacity of 3.6 million tons.

As of 2011, total LNG trade among 25 active countries stood at 233.1 million tons, from trade of only 157.6 million tons in 2006, when a mere 16 countries were involved in the export of LNG. As of 2011, Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and Nigeria are the top five LNG exporting countries, contributing to around 151 million tons of LNG exports to their major importers. Similarly, Japan, Korea, Spain, UK and China are the top five LNG importing countries, contributing to around 163 million tons of LNG imports from their major exporters. Investments in LNG projects are set to steadily increase during the immediate future, with global capital expenditure for upcoming LNG projects estimated to exceed $200 billion over the 2012-2017 period.
Scope of this report covers:
  • Overview of the global LNG industry, covering the trends, challenges and economics, as well as providing a geographic analysis as well as a competitive analysis of the industry to 2017

Champions of Our Time DVD Out On December 17



Champions of Our Time DVD will be released nationwide on December 17, 2012 and also on Amazon.com for USA and Canada where millions of Nigerians and other Africans in the Diaspora have been demanding for the DVD version.




Champions of Our Time is the family movie for this Christmas season and a collector’s item in every home. It will be sold nationwide by Denziot Integrated and logistics limited of 7B Fatai Kaffo Crescent, Off Agungi Agirun Road, Lekki, Lagos.

The multiple awards winning movie sponsored by the Lagos state government became the first and the only Nollywood movie to win the major ECOWAS Special Prize and the Prix spécial du jury pour une œuvre de fiction TV/Vidéo (Special Jury Prize for TV/Video fiction) with a value of one million CFA francs at the highly competitive Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou ( FESPACO) in 2011. Champions of Our Time with screenplay by the award winning screenwriter Chidi Nwokeabia and directed by award winning filmmaker Mak Kusare and Charles Inojie is the second Nigerian movie to have been so honoured since Newton Aduaka won the most coveted First Prize, Étalon de Yenenga for his Ezra in 2007.

Champions of Our Time won the Best Film award at the 2010 Zafaa International Film Festival, Best Film at 2010 Abuja International Film Festival, Golden Mboni  Award at 2010 Lola Kenya Screen Festival, Kenya, two awards at the 2010 Terracotta Awards, Official Selection of the African Movies Academy Awards (AMAA 2010) and Official Selection of the 2010 Zanzibar International Film Festival. Outside Africa, Champions of Our Time was finalist at the 2011 16th International Family Film Festival in Hollywood, USA, Official Selection of Deep Fried International Film Festival, U.K and Official Selection of Lucasfilm International Film Festival in  Germany.

Champions of Our Time tells the extraordinary story of two exceptionally brilliant young girls from opposing ends of the social spectrum. They both nurse ambitions of becoming the next winner of the prestigious St. Flairs Foundation Quiz Competition. However, their quest unravels a web of intrigue, high-stakes politicking, corruption in high places, and a culture of neglect and discrimination against the physically challenged amongst us. Suspense-wrapped scenes in the movie showed how far the players went to achieve their dreams in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

The movie is a production of Macnuel Productions Limited in Nigeria and starring top Nollywood stars Segun Arinze, Joke Silva-Jacob, Ngozi Ezeonu, Ejike Asiegbu, Ayo Adesanya, Charles Inojie, (Introducing) Treasure Obasi and Feyisola Ewulomi, Paul Adams, Ejike Metu and others.

TEDxWomen 2012 Conference Will Reach Worldwide Audience




Hosted by Pat Mitchell and the Paley Center, TEDxWomen 2012 inspires women to raise their voices and be heard

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hosted by Pat Mitchell and The Paley Center for Media, TEDxWomen 2012 will take place November 30 and December 1, at the United States Institute for Peace in Washington, DC, and will be live streamed to 150 locally organized TEDx communities around the world.

New this year, TEDxWomen and the Paley Center will offer the broadcast of the conference to the U.S. Department of State's embassies and more than 800 American Spaces around the world. American Spaces are public access venues where Americans and host country citizens come together for discussions on U.S. policy, society and values. Access to the TEDxWomen 2012 Conference enables people both in and outside of capital cities worldwide to connect to inspiring and sometimes surprising stories and ideas by and for women.

TEDxWomen 2012 will bring together a diverse group of talented and rousing women and men to challenge traditional gender roles and spotlight groundbreaking advances in topics ranging from autism to violence against women. What makes TEDxWomen 2012 powerful is the fact it is designed to grow and expand organically, with each individual event acting as a catalyst for communities worldwide to create their own TEDxWomen events.

Events have already sprouted up in places like the Sudan, where TEDxKhartoumWomen gives Sudanese women a platform to share their outstanding contributions to their community. Marieme Jamme in West Africa is introducing the TED concept to West Africans and planting the seeds for TED conferences in Accra. And Jamara Wakefield, a college student in an underserved area of Boston, has organized a TEDxRoxbury Women event, integrating spoken word artists into the traditional TED format.

"TEDxWomen has the power to change communities, and when linked together, change the world," said Pat Mitchell, CEO and President of The Paley Center for Media. "Now, more than ever, women have seen their collective power when they work together, share ideas, and elevate each other's voices."

"Bringing TEDxWomen to overseas audiences, many of whom would never be exposed to the original and creative thinking of the presenters, provides an engaging centerpiece for local events at U.S. Embassies and American Spaces that address such important policy issues as human rights, women's economic empowerment, and violence against women," said Dawn L. McCall, Coordinator of the Bureau of International Information Programs at the Department of State.

This year's speakers at TEDxWomen 2012 include:

Julia Bluhm and Izzie Labbe: two young women who successfully petitioned Seventeen magazine to stop altering face and body shapes of girls with Photoshop.
Anita Sarkeesian: a feminist media critic who initiated a successful Kickstarter campaign to examine gender tropes in video games. Shortly after, a Flash game, where users could punch a likeness of Sarkeesian, went viral, underscoring the sexism she sought to unveil.
Bob Woodruff: a former ABC war correspondent who suffered a traumatic brain injury while embedded in Iraq, and his wife, Lee, who will describe their journey of starts and stops.
Eve Ensler : a well-known feminist playwright, performer, writer, activist, and author of the The Vagina Monologues.
Chung Hyun Kyung: a Korean spiritual leader and ecofeminist.
Musimbi Kanyoro: head of Global Fund for Women.
Jessica Pabon: on the history of graffiti artists.

TEDxWomen is an independently organized event, licensed by TED. TEDxWomen is sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, AOL, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Accenture, Coca-Cola, Verizon Foundation, Intel, Weber Shandwick, and USIP.
