The London School of Economics, the LSE<\/span>, is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. So far, 16 former students and teachers have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics.<\/p>\n\n\tBut studying at the LSE<\/span> is not just a way of getting into a well-paid job in finance. The students at the LSE<\/span> are ambitious, focused and determined. <\/p>\n\n\tFor more information: <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"http:////www.lse.ac.uk/">www.lse.ac.uk/n/n/t

In Kazakhstan, Kanat Tossekbayev is only 28 years old, but he runs all the emergency health services in Astana, the capital city. He has achieved this with help from the Bolashak Scholarship Programme through which he studied Hospital Management in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\tBolashak students are academically bright, speak excellent Kazakh, understand Kazakh culture and must promise to work in Kazakhstan for at least five years once they graduate. In exchange, the Bolashak grant covers all their educational expenses. <\/p>\n\n\tFor more information see \n<a

In Niger, for example, it is the custom to give babies water to drink in the hottest months, even if it has come from a polluted source, which is often the case. \n\n\tDiahorrea is the consequence, the number one cause of malnutrition, and Niger is one of the worst sufferers; here nearly 17 percent of the under-fives are malnourished, or more than half a million children. Over 15 percent malnutrition is considered an emergency.\n\n\tEarlier this year the nutrition crisis was magnified by a food crisis. Shortages spurred the Niger authorities along with the international community and NGOs in pulling off a minor miracle. There was no famine, no humanitarian disaster.\n\n\t\u201cOur idea is to efficiently do checkups on all the children, make lists of the severely and moderately malnourished, and refer those needing hospital treatment. We are trying to improve detection and then treatment, going from door-to-door with BEFEN-Alima community agents. They diagnose whether day care centre or residential care is needed, and whether national or local resources are needed,\u201d says Dr. Maidadji Oumaru.\n\n\tTracking down the malnourished takes the team to a village near Mirriah in the southern Zinder region.\n\n\t\u201cThis child\u2019s seven months old, about seven, who we judge to be severly malnourished. He\u2019s right up against a number of red lines, so we\u2019re trying to persuade his mother to bring him into a local health centre,\u201d says nutritionist Elisabeth Zanou.\n\n\tTsahara was not keen on taking Fatima into a health centre, even the closest one. She had to find someone to look after her other 3 children.\n\n\tMirriah now has an Integrated Heath Centre or CSI within which there is a Regional Centre for Severe Nutritional Outreach unit, or CRENAS.\nHere the children are weighed, measured, and diagnosed for a range of diseases. Fatima has malaria and weighs four and a half kilos instead of nearly seven, but if she can pass the appetite test she will have a better chance says Zanou:\n\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a confirmed severe case, but there are complications and her appetite is way down, so the hospital and the CRENI will take over.\nHere she didn\u2019t eat the PlumpyNut, so the CSI can\u2019t take her. In hospital she\u2019ll be given therapeutic milk and she\u2019ll recover her strength quicker.\u201d\n\n\tIf Fatima had eaten her PlumpyNut, a delicious peanut-based pasta, she could have stayed in the local centre and her mother would have been able to make a weekly visit. There she would have been given lessons on diets and nutrition, and more PlumpyNut.\n\n\tFor these overstretched mothers housework, other children and distance are often the worst enemies. Taking a child to the doctor requires a major decision.\n\n\tSince the start of this year in either mobile clinics or health centres over 240,000 children suffering from malnutrition have been treated.\nToday there are more than 800 nutrition centres across Niger. Five years ago at the peak of the food crisis, there were just 9.\nHowever beyond the emergency cover the UN wants to go further with prevention being given the top priority.\n\n\t\u201cWe wanted to talk about prevention, put the accent on prevention. Mothers needed to be educated about local foods, there are things we can feed children to stop malnutrition.\nThere are two social assistants here to educate the mothers, and family members, on rules of hygiene, vaccination, family planning and preventing malnutrition,\u201d says Fatima Inche Oumara.\n\n\tNiger is one of the world\u2019s poorest nations. Last year it was last on the UN\u2019s Human Development Index, below Afghanistan. Every woman here has, on average, more than seven children and at this rate Niger\u2019s population will go from 15 million today to 50 in just 40 years. The director of Tsangui school tries to explain to pupils and parents that this is unsustainable growth.\n\n\t\u201cThere are five primary classes, but when the occasion presents itself and the whole village gets together we get the message across to every family; if you don\u2019t follow the family planning rules you\u2019ll always have problems because there\u2019ll always be too many people for not enough food,\u201d says Amadou Moussa.\n\n\tOver the last school year half of this school\u2019s 80 pupils left with their parents. The food crisis that affected seven million people in Niger created a massive rural exodus. \n\n\tThis year\u2019s rainy season has been more generous. Harvests have allowed the immediate horizon to be viewed with a certain optimism, but feeding everyone all year round remains a challenge. \n\n\tChamanounou Abdou Hassane has eight children, and farms nearly two and a half hectares of millet, sorghum, and peanuts. He also grows vegetables, and most of this is sold. The family lives off millet, with an occasional vegetable. His wife Gambou says she won\u2019t need help to feed her children this year, but her husband says they\u2019ll have to leave for a month next year when the food and money run out.\n\n\tThis shifting population makes any community-based project difficult;\n\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve closely followed this situation. I\u2019ve been coming here for other things, and I\u2019ve seen why people come here. Food. Finding food dominates everything. So when you come here you see a woman, it\u2019s generally women, and they\u2019ll point you towards food, but do nothing about nutrition. They can\u2019t do their job because they\u2019re keeping people alive. I\u2019ve seen it happen in front of me. But now it\u2019s the rainy season and the harvests are coming in, the situation\u2019s stabilised. Getting the nutrition message across was the problem \u2013 nobody came,\u201d says the Red Cross\u2019s Habou Yaou.\n\n\tPrevention and education are the keywords in this UN campaign in Niger. To stop malnutrition real changes must be made to people\u2019s hygiene and food habits. To respond to the world food crisis this year the international community found 350 million euros in emergency aid. Now is the time to find the money to tackle structural problems.","htmlText":"\tMany mothers just do not know how good breast milk is for their babies, especially in the first six months.

Fatima, Atika and Asisa are survivors of domestic violence, who today are part of a women’s cooperative making belts. <\/p>\n\n\tFor the first time, they are bringing the jewellery they have made to the market in Fez, Morocco. <\/p>\n\n\tNearly 2,000 single mothers or women who had been thrown out of their marital homes came to the centre during its first year. <\/p>\n\n\tTraining is ad-hoc and aimed at helping the women reintegrate into society. <\/p>\n\n\tNow, this visit to the market is the final step towards real professional independence. It is not easy, the marketplace is dominated by men. But they find one women stallholder who likes their belts and will buy them.<\/p>\n\n\tAccording to the last annual report, around 13,000 Moroccan women suffer domestic violence, most of them on a permanent basis. <\/p>\n\n\tIn Barcelona, a school for adults runs reading clubs for them, using a new approach. <\/p>\n\n\tRam\u00f3n Flecha, the founder of La Verneda, explained: “As Garc\u00eda Marquez said, teaching literature is usually based on listening but here it’s the opposite. Students here talk and discuss. It’s not just a place for listening.”<\/p>\n\n\tTomi is one of their star pupils. Seven years ago, her bookshelves were empty. Today, they contain Kafka, Cervantes, James Joyce, Garc\u00eda Marquez and Dostoyevsky. She was shy at first but now Tomi is president of a women’s association at the school and her life has changed in every way. <\/p>\n\n\tMarta Soler, a sociologist comments: “Because of the social transformation we see with this method, it has become an international movement. There are reading circles in Spain, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, the Czech Republic and even in some big universities like Harvard.” <\/p>\n\n\tFor more information see this site (NB: it is Spanish)<\/p>\n\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edaverneda.org\/\">http:\/\/www.edaverneda.org\/<\/a><\/p>","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1287824588,"publishedAt":1287824588,"updatedAt":1287824588,"expiresAt":0,"canonical":"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2010\/10\/23\/education-empowering-women","programDeliverable":{"slug":"sujet","format":"default"},"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/127705\/{{w}}x{{h}}_127705.jpg","altText":null,"caption":null,"captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":null,"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"callToActionText":null,"width":0,"height":0}],"authors":{"journalists":[],"producers":[],"videoEditor":[]},"keywords":[{"id":387,"slug":"education","urlSafeValue":"education","title":"Education","titleRaw":"Education"},{"id":4625,"slug":"women-s-rights","urlSafeValue":"women-s-rights","title":"Women's rights","titleRaw":"Women's rights"}],"related":[],"technicalTags":[],"widgets":[],"allViews":0,"allViewsMeta":{"pointOfView":{"quotation":null,"description":null,"author":null},"survey":[],"tweetId":0,"tweet2NdId":null,"contentType":null,"displayOverlay":0},"displayType":"default","video":0,"videos":[],"externalPartners":[],"liveStream":[],"scribbleLiveId":0,"scribbleLiveRibbon":0,"isLiveCoverage":0,"sourceId":1,"sources":[],"externalSource":null,"additionalSources":null,"additionalReporting":null,"freeField1":null,"freeField2":"","type":"","program":{"id":"learning-world","urlSafeValue":"learning-world","title":"learning world","online":0,"url":"\/\/www.euronews.com\/programs\/learning-world"},"vertical":"news","verticals":[{"id":1,"slug":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"}],"primaryVertical":{"id":1,"slug":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"},"themes":[{"id":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"World","url":"\/\/www.euronews.com\/news\/international"}],"primaryTheme":{"id":1,"urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"},"advertising":0,"advertisingData":{"startDate":0,"endDate":0,"type":null,"isDfp":0,"slug":null,"title":null,"disclaimerLabelKey":null,"sponsor":null,"sponsorName":null,"sponsorUrl":null,"sponsorLogo":"","sponsorLogoReverse":""},"geoLocation":{"lat":0,"lon":0},"location":1,"continent":{"id":3,"urlSafeValue":"africa","title":"Africa"},"country":[],"town":[],"versions":[],"path":"\/2010\/10\/23\/education-empowering-women","lastModified":1287824588},{"id":126533,"cid":874211,"versionId":0,"archive":0,"housenumber":"100927_RESU_512A0","owner":"euronews","isMagazine":0,"grapeshot":"'neg_facebook_2021','castrol_negative_uk','neg_mobkoi_castrol','african_related_content_uk','neg_nespresso','gt_negative','neg_bucherer','gs_society','pos_equinor','pos_facebook','pos_pmi','neg_saudiaramco','gs_health_misc','gs_health','gs_society_charity','gv_death_injury','gs_science'","channels":[{"id":1},{"id":2},{"id":4},{"id":5},{"id":12}],"status":2,"title":"ECHO: a lifeline in Africa's skies","titleSeo":null,"titleListing1":null,"titleListing2":null,"leadin":"Another urgent call-out for Captain Ronald Hodge.

The new draft constitution was drawn up by the current coalition government of President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga. \n\n\tIt is a union based on compromise in the wake of the political violence following the election of December 2007, which claimed the lives of 1,500 people. Both leaders agreed to frame a new constitution to strengthen existing legislation and avoid any repetition of the bloodshed that rocked the country in 2007.\n\n\tBefore the vote, euronews met Prime Minister Odinga on a visit to France.\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cPrime Minister, welcome to euronews.\u201d\n\n\tRaila (Amollo) Odinga, Kenyan Prime Minister:\n\u201cThank you.\u201d\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cCould you outline the major changes, this new constitution will bring to Kenya?\u201d\n\n\tPM Odinga:\n\u201cFor the first time, Kenya is going to have a presidential system, a pure presidential system of government, where you have a president elected together with a vice-president and a cabinet appointed from outside parliament. Thus a clear separation of powers between the executive, the legislator and the judiciary. So we say that for the first time, Kenyan\u2019s have a governance structure, that will ensure that there are checks and balances in the system. And it will ensure that the abuse of power, which we have seen in the past, as associated with authoritarianism and imperial presidency, are things of the past.\u201d\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cBut isn\u2019t this new strong presidential position for one strong man a temptation to monopolise power?\u201d\n\n\tPM Odinga:\n\u201cNot really, in the past, power was removed from the periphery to the centre through constitutional amendments, which made the presidency so powerful it dwarfed all the institutions of governance because there were no other checks. In the current draft constitution, first there is a legislator, which has been given large powers. All the presidential appointments, the senior ones, are subjected to the vetting by parliament. So the kind of checks that there are in this draft constitution are very similar to those in the American constitution.\u201d\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cIf Kenya creates this new strong presidential position, somebody has to be chosen to occupy it \u2013 are elections planned for soon?\u201d\n\n\tPM Odinga:\n\u201cIf the new constitution is adopted, elections will be held at latest by August 2012. And this will include all the elections: civic, counties, senatorial, parliamentary and presidential elections.\u201d\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cWill you be running for president \u2013 again?\u201d\n\n\tPM Odinga:\n\u201cI\u2019m not sure if I will run. Because, you know, we have a multi-party system. And for one to run, one must be nominated by his or her political party. So, if my party nominates me \u2013 then of course I will be prepared to run. If I\u2019m not nominated, I will support whoever will be nominated.\u201d\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cDo you think the loser will be prepared to accept defeat?\u201d\n\n\tPM Odinga:\n\u201cThis is what we\u2019re trying to clear now: that the losers must be prepared to accept defeat, because the elections are going to be fair. But it has been happening a number of cases that elections are rigged \u2013 that\u2019s why you find in many African countries that people are not willing to accept defeat. Now we are trying to teach Africans, to understand the lessons of democracy: that in any kind of election, in any kind of contest, there must be winners and losers. And that if you lose fairly, it is not the end of the game. You know, he supports the winner and than he will win sometime in the future. This is how democracy is built. Elections should not be wars, they should just be competitions just like any other game \u2013 like a football game. The winner must be prepared to shake hands with the loser.\u201d\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews:\n\u201cLast year\u2019s droughts have proven it: Kenya is extremely sensitive to climate changes. Your country also has the ambition to play a leadership role in \u2018turning Africa green\u2019. What exactly is on your green agenda?\u201d\n\n\tPM Odinga:\n\u201cOur green agenda is fairly comprehensive: We\u2019re trying to look after alternative renewable sources of energy, as opposed to using the fossil fuels. And here, the options we have are \u2013 one: geothermal: We happen to be one of those fortunate countries in the Rift Valley that have geothermal potential. It\u2019s estimated that we have about 7,000 Megawatts in the Rift Valley. Then wind is another. And we have a wind atlas for the country, It shows that we have very good wind speeds in several parts of the country. So we\u2019re trying to also introduce wind turbines to generate electricity.

The new draft constitution was drawn up by the current coalition government of President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga. <\/p>\n\n\tIt is a union based on compromise in the wake of the political violence following the election of December 2007, which claimed the lives of 1,500 people. Both leaders agreed to frame a new constitution to strengthen existing legislation and avoid any repetition of the bloodshed that rocked the country in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\tBefore the vote, euronews met Prime Minister Odinga on a visit to France.<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“Prime Minister, welcome to euronews.”<\/p>\n\n\tRaila (Amollo) Odinga, Kenyan Prime Minister: \n“Thank you.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“Could you outline the major changes, this new constitution will bring to Kenya?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“For the first time, Kenya is going to have a presidential system, a pure presidential system of government, where you have a president elected together with a vice-president and a cabinet appointed from outside parliament. Thus a clear separation of powers between the executive, the legislator and the judiciary. So we say that for the first time, Kenyan’s have a governance structure, that will ensure that there are checks and balances in the system. And it will ensure that the abuse of power, which we have seen in the past, as associated with authoritarianism and imperial presidency, are things of the past.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“But isn’t this new strong presidential position for one strong man a temptation to monopolise power?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“Not really, in the past, power was removed from the periphery to the centre through constitutional amendments, which made the presidency so powerful it dwarfed all the institutions of governance because there were no other checks. In the current draft constitution, first there is a legislator, which has been given large powers. All the presidential appointments, the senior ones, are subjected to the vetting by parliament. So the kind of checks that there are in this draft constitution are very similar to those in the American constitution.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“If Kenya creates this new strong presidential position, somebody has to be chosen to occupy it \u2013 are elections planned for soon?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“If the new constitution is adopted, elections will be held at latest by August 2012. And this will include all the elections: civic, counties, senatorial, parliamentary and presidential elections.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“Will you be running for president – again?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“I’m not sure if I will run. Because, you know, we have a multi-party system. And for one to run, one must be nominated by his or her political party. So, if my party nominates me \u2013 then of course I will be prepared to run. If I’m not nominated, I will support whoever will be nominated.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“Do you think the loser will be prepared to accept defeat?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“This is what we’re trying to clear now: that the losers must be prepared to accept defeat, because the elections are going to be fair. But it has been happening a number of cases that elections are rigged \u2013 that’s why you find in many African countries that people are not willing to accept defeat. Now we are trying to teach Africans, to understand the lessons of democracy: that in any kind of election, in any kind of contest, there must be winners and losers. And that if you lose fairly, it is not the end of the game. You know, he supports the winner and than he will win sometime in the future. This is how democracy is built. Elections should not be wars, they should just be competitions just like any other game \u2013 like a football game. The winner must be prepared to shake hands with the loser.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“Last year’s droughts have proven it: Kenya is extremely sensitive to climate changes. Your country also has the ambition to play a leadership role in ‘turning Africa green’. What exactly is on your green agenda?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“Our green agenda is fairly comprehensive: We’re trying to look after alternative renewable sources of energy, as opposed to using the fossil fuels. And here, the options we have are \u2013 one: geothermal: We happen to be one of those fortunate countries in the Rift Valley that have geothermal potential. It’s estimated that we have about 7,000 Megawatts in the Rift Valley. Then wind is another. And we have a wind atlas for the country, It shows that we have very good wind speeds in several parts of the country. So we’re trying to also introduce wind turbines to generate electricity. There is already one project of 400 Megawatts which is under way for construction. Then there is solar: as you know, Kenya is at the Equator \u2013 with 12 hours of sunshine on a daily basis. We hope this is a way in which Africa can contribute immensely to the fight against global warming.”<\/p>\n\n\tOlaf Bruns, euronews: \n“For poor citizens of a poor country, are environmental issues really a priority? Hasn’t the priority to be on industrial development?”<\/p>\n\n\tPM Odinga: \n“Those other countries which have become industrialised were pioneers, at that time the consequences of the side effects of industrialisation were not known.
