Bamboo is a strong, flexible, sustainable building material that has been used for construction purposes for centuries, however its use has been limited due to a lack of structural design data and exclusion from building codes; the document discusses bamboo's mechanical properties and provides examples of how it can be used for building foundations, walls, roofs, and as reinforcement in concrete as well as methods for protecting bamboo through borax treatment.
German architect Anna Heringer designed the Meti Handmade School in rural Bangladesh to be constructed using traditional local materials and methods by local craftsmen and the community. The two-story primary school features light-filled classrooms and informal spaces created through adapting traditional bamboo, earth, and plaster construction techniques. Heringer's goal was to develop the skills of the local population to make the best ongoing use of local resources for building.
This document discusses the use of bamboo as a construction material. It begins with an introduction on the benefits of bamboo, including that it is strong, renewable, environmentally friendly. The objectives are then presented as studying bamboo characteristics and modern construction techniques. Several building elements that can be made from bamboo are described, including walls, floors, roofs, and methods for protecting bamboo structures. Overall, the document outlines how bamboo can serve as an affordable, sustainable building material.
Bamboo is a versatile building material with several advantages such as strength, flexibility, earthquake resistance, low cost and minimal environmental impact. However, untreated bamboo has low durability. Various treatments like borax-boric acid preservation, neem oil treatment can improve the durability. Bamboo can be used for walls, foundations, columns, beams and roofing. It provides cost and energy benefits compared to concrete while maintaining structural strength. However, limitations include jointing techniques, flammability and lack of codified design guidance.

egk13 - Intra Africa Trade - Abebe Abebayehuicebauhaus
This document discusses challenges and recommendations regarding intra-African trade. It notes that intra-African trade is currently very low at 12%, compared to over 50% for other regions, due to barriers like lack of infrastructure, complex trade regulations, and low productive capacity. Increasing intra-African trade could boost investment, reduce vulnerability, and be a major opportunity for growth. Key recommendations include improving political cooperation, investing in infrastructure like ports and roads, streamlining customs procedures, facilitating information sharing on business opportunities, and engaging the African diaspora.
The document discusses harnessing innovation for wider educational integration in Africa. It argues that the African Diaspora possess wealth of knowledge and innovation needed to advance the continent. However, only 5% of young Africans currently attend college, and they are not being equipped with innovation in education. The document proposes engaging the Diaspora and applying the spirit of innovation in Africa's educational system by utilizing innovative technologies to enhance learning and communicate across borders on the continent.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Erick Tambo on brain circulation schemes and including diaspora in higher education. It discusses the United Nations University's (UNU) mandate to support sustainable development and their various programs and campus locations worldwide.

This document discusses creating innovation spaces that bring together startups, education, technology transfer, and community support through events, networking, collaboration, workshops and projects to foster innovation.
The document discusses the link between migration and innovation from a development perspective. It defines innovation as new solutions introduced into a market or company. Important factors that foster innovation include exchange, integration into international networks, and mobility of skilled people. Migrants can contribute to innovation through investment channels like remittances and joint ventures, as well as through knowledge and network transfers. The influencing factors include conditions in both the country of origin, like education quality, and country of destination, such as immigration policy and discrimination levels. Examples of programs that promote investment and return of skilled diaspora are discussed from Honduras, Armenia, and Serbia.
This document outlines a planned research cooperation between Mewael Kiros of ASSEFA and the Technische Universität München on conservation agriculture and cover crops. The cooperation aims to optimize the use of subsidiary crop applications in rotations to make conservation agriculture more effective. Key aspects of conservation agriculture discussed are disturbing the soil as little as possible, keeping the soil covered as much as possible, and mixing and rotating crops. The expected impacts include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased biodiversity, lower production costs, and social impacts. The cooperation also involves introducing conservation agriculture and cover crops in northern Ethiopia through a project called CoNEt.
This document discusses how Ethiopia has experienced significant brain drain over the past few decades but is now working to turn that into brain gain by leveraging its diaspora experts. It notes that Ethiopia lost 75% of its skilled workforce between 1980-1991 and now has over 300,000 professionals residing outside of Africa. To address shortages of academics and challenges in higher education from increasing student numbers, Ethiopia is using technology like video conferencing and establishing diaspora organizations to facilitate remote supervision, mentoring, knowledge transfer and short visits by experts abroad. This allows diaspora members to contribute without permanent return and helps turn migration from a brain drain into a brain gain for Ethiopia's development.
This document discusses how migration can catalyze innovation. It provides examples of how migrating animals, cultures, and people throughout history have led to new ideas and changes in perception. Migration triggers five key innovation skills: association, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. The document advocates being willing to think outside the box in order to escape obvious patterns of thought.
1) The document discusses integrating climate smartness into sustainable land management in Ethiopia through the EU/MOA/GIZ Project of the Global Climate Change Alliance.
2) Effects of climate change like droughts and floods can accelerate land degradation, lower crop and livestock productivity, and reduce food and income.
3) The project aims to take a threefold approach of mitigation, adaptation, and livelihoods to manage climate risks through practices like carbon sequestration, behavioral changes, and ensuring food security and income.
The document discusses using information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance the quality of education in Africa. It notes that current education focuses too much on theory and memorization without real-life application and technology. This has led to high youth unemployment. The proposal is to use ICT like smartphones and mobile networks to provide more engaging education focusing on creativity, collaboration, and subjects like math, English, and entrepreneurship. It would use incentives like games and student ambassadors for scalability. Partnerships with governments, institutions, NGOs and companies could help achieve this vision of filling Africa's digital gap through improved technology-enabled education.
