<title>Can Africa Feed Itself?</title>

<description><![CDATA[Does Africa have the potential to feed itself? Yes, and in the near future, says Bingu wa Mutharika, president of Malawi and current interim chair of the African Union.

â€œAfrica is not poor,â€ says Mutharika, who has been Malawiâ€™s president since 2004 and has a degree in economics. The continent, he says, â€œhas decided to shift from Afro-pessimism to Afro-optimism.â€

The president of the southeastern African nation outlines a strategy incorporating subsidies to smallâ€”especially womenâ€”farmers, improvements in irrigation, distribution of sturdy hybrid seeds, building and upgrading of roads, a push toward alternative clean energy sources such as wind and solar, an increased continent-wide investment in communications technology, and the establishment of a strategic partnership comprising nations such as Uganda, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zimbabwe, countries that Mutharika cites as having â€œtrack records of achievement in promoting agriculture and food security.â€

Hosted by the African Presidential Archives & Research Center (APARC) on October 1, 2010.]]></description>

<title>Working from the ground up: Adam Peltz (&acirc;&euro;&tilde;11) helps build community radio station</title>
<link>https://www.bu.edu/buniverse/view/?v=gONeBg</link>
<guid>https://www.bu.edu/buniverse/view/?v=gONeBg</guid>
<pubDate>Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:04:29 -0400</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Adam Peltz (LAW â€˜11) spent his summer in 2009 interning at the Legal Resources Center, a legal NGO based in Accra, Ghana. There he worked on a UN-funded Right-to-Media project. He funded his trip with a Public Interest Project (PIP) grant. 

â€œWhat we did was a very early stage of getting together maybe 50 people in the community to talk about whatâ€™s entailed in getting a community radio station,â€ says Peltz. The tasks, he says, included, â€œWorking from the ground up, getting a building, getting land, buying equipment, and determining what sort of programming the community might be interested in having.â€

Peltz is confident in the future of the station: â€œOver the two weeks people started to understand exactly what we were there for and started to take ownership of the station...it's going apace and hopefully it'll be online within the next 18 months."
