Financing solution for women empowerment in agriculturekamnath2k
This financial solution seeks to empower rural women and widows through an agricultural micro-credit/aid enhanced scheme. Women constitute over 50% of the world’s population and though they perform two-third of the worlds work yet they receive only one hundredth of the world’s income. They constitute 43% of the world’s agricultural labour yet they do not have access and control over land.
For the over 80% of agricultural produce that comes from small farmers in Africa, most of whom are women to be properly harnessed, women will need to be given adequate attention as ‘‘when we empower women, we empower communities, nations and entire human family’’ UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Speaking notes for president cyril ramaphosa for the 1st extraordinary inter sessional summit of heads of state and government of the oacps, 03 june 2020.docx
1. 1
SPEAKING NOTES FOR PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA FOR THE
1ST
EXTRAORDINARY INTER-SESSIONAL SUMMIT OF HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION OF AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC STATES (OACPS), 3 JUNE 2020
Your Excellency, President Uhuru Kenyatta,
Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government,
Secretary-General of the OACPS, His Excellency Mr Georges Rebelo Pinto Chikoti,
Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus,
Colleagues and Friends,
I wish to express my appreciation to President Kenyatta for convening this important Summit on an
issue that deeply affects each and every one of us.
The coronavirus pandemic has clearly demonstrated that the nations of the world are profoundly
interconnected and interdependent.
As an organisation that brings together countries from different parts of the globe, the OACPS has an
important role in promoting cooperation and solidarity.
As the countries of Africa, we have acted decisively and in unison to respond to the threat of COVID-
19.
Although the number of infections in Africa is currently lower than elsewhere in the world, there is an
expectation that the worst is still to come, with dire social and economic consequences.
The outbreak of the virus has caused a great deal of damage to economies on the continent and is
beginning to stretch public health systems.
We have urgent needs as a continent with regard to medical supplies, testing equipment and facilities,
laboratories, personal protection equipment and ventilators.
At the same time, our experience in managing public health emergencies has served us well, and
enabled the rapid deployment of trained and experienced community health workers to do screening
and testing.
The African Union has developed a strategy to address the challenge of COVID 19.
Through the five regional coronavirus task forces we have established in all the 5 regions of the
continent, we are working across national borders to oversee screening, detection and diagnosis;
infection control and clinical management of infected persons; and to drive mass communication and
community engagement.
2. 2
As part of our strategy we have established an African COVID-19 Response Fund as a key intervention
to mobilise and direct resources towards the continent’s response to the challenge.
COVID 19 is a global pandemic and requires cooperation and solidarity amongst the nations and the
peoples of the world. The AU has been in the forefront of mobilising international support for both a
health response to the pandemic and a comprehensive economic stimulus package for Africa.
As part of the economic stimulus we have called for debt relief for countries that are indebted.
We call on the OACPS to support the AU’s call for a two-year debt standstill and a plan for the
restructuring of both private and bilateral debt.
We further support the appeal to the International Monetary Fund for special drawing rights
allocations to provide additional liquidity to countries in need.
The World Health Organization has been instrumental in supporting national efforts to combat COVID-
19. As African countries, we continue to reiterate our full support for the WHO and its Director-
General, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus.
We fully support the initiative by the WHO together with many governments, non-profit organisations
and industry leaders to speed up the development and production of vaccines and therapeutics, and
to ensure that they are distributed speedily and equitably across the globe.
We believe that no country must be left behind. In this regard, we call for economic sanctions against
Sudan and Zimbabwe to be lifted to provide the necessary space for these countries to devote their
resources to the fight against COVID-19.
This is a global public health emergency and it needs a global response. We therefore need to promote
multilateralism as the most effective instrument to ensure that all countries, big and small, rich and
poor, are accommodated and their voices heard.
Through a decisive, effective and collective response to this global crisis, we will not only be
safeguarding the lives, health and well-being of our people, but we will also be proving the relevance
and value of bodies like the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States.
Global solidarity demands that we also stand as one against all forms of racism and intolerance.
Through the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Mr Moussa Faki Mahamat, the African Union has
strongly condemned the murder of George Floyd in the United States of America and shares the anger
of millions in the United States and across the world.
As countries that have borne the brunt of racial discrimination over centuries, we need to work
together to end the scourge of racial violence, wherever it occurs. By working together, we can build
a peaceful, just, healthy and prosperous global community.
I thank you.

AFRICAN UNION
