Moyiga Nduru

JOHANNESBURG, Oct 29 2006 (IPS) – A few minutes before the deputy president of South Africa, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, stepped into the conference hall, a participant burst into song. Soon she was joined by her colleagues in welcoming the guest of honour.
Clapping hands, ululating, whistling, and swaying to and fro, more than 350 delegates from about 80 organisations across South Africa had gathered in Johannesburg to forge a united front against HIV/AIDS.

The two-day gathering, which ended Saturday, was organised by the South African Council of Churches, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), the South African National NGO Coalition and the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) amongst others. (NGO stands for non-governmental organisation.)

Hunger Drops Mere Half a Percent over Last Decade

WASHINGTON, Sep 16 2010 (IPS) – Ten years after setting the goal of halving the proportion of people suffering from poverty and hunger by 2015, only mixed success can be found for the U.N. s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and the degree of success is dependent not only on what country is examined but which evaluation is used.
Everyone seems to agree, however, that the food and financial crises of recent years drastically affected the progress on hunger.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation and World Food Programme announced Tuesday that the number of people suffering from chronic hunger this year has decreased by 98 million to 925 million.

But that same day Oxfam America pointed out in a report that this decrease means that the proportion of the world s hungr…

SANAA, Jun 25 2013 (IPS) – Yemen’s population is increasing at a rapid rate, straining the country’s dwindling natural resources and setting up its youth for a grim future, with few jobs and scant means to get by.

Visiting a family planning clinic in downtown Sanaa, Layla waits for a routine birth control checkup. She believes she was 14 when she got married and pregnant, but is not sure.

From the rural town of Beni Matar, south of the capital, Layla, now 20, and her three children are like four-fifths of Yemen’s mostly rural population, la…

Open Defecation to End by 2025, Vows UN Chief, Marking World Toilet Day

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 19 2015 (IPS) – The state of the world’s toilets reveals the good, the bad and the ugly – but not necessarily in that order.

As the UN commemorated its annual World Toilet Day on November 19, a new study says, contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the rich nations of the developed world has access to a toilet.

The study, released by the UK based WaterAid, points out that Canada, UK, Ireland and Sweden are among nations with measurable numbers still without safe, private household toilets.

Russia has the lowest percentage of household toilets of all developed nations, while India, the world’s second-most populous country, holds the record for the most people waiting for sanitation (774 million) and the most people per square kilomet…
