IMPHAL, Manipur, Aug 7 2007 (IPS) – For the past fortnight, the menu on the Manipur state government s table has changed from the staple of fighting HIV infections to stamping out an outbreak of avian influenza.

LAGOS, Jan 10 2008 (IPS) – The Federal Government policy to stop gas flaring commences on Jan. 1, 2008, and any company which flares gas after that time would be shut down. This was the strong warning from the Nigerian government in October last year to multinational oil companies operating in the country.
Gas flaring continued in 2008 in defiance of the Nigerian government s warning that the act would not be tolerated in the new year.
Responding to pressure from oil companies, the Nigerian government pushed the deadline back on Jan. 6. A press statement issued by Levi Ajuonuma, group general manager of public affairs for the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), announced a shift of deadline from December 2007 to December 2008.

In a document titled Development and Africa the G8 countries (Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan, Canada and the United States) firmly committed (themselves) to working to fulfil their pledges on official development assistance (ODA) made at Gleneagles (three years ago), and reaffirmed at Heiligendamm, including increasing, compared to 2004, with other donors, ODA to Africa by 25 billion dollars a year by 2010.
And they went a step fur…

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 14 2012 (IPS) – Since the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the United Nations has consistently maintained that family planning is a basic human right to be exercised by all not just the wealthy and otherwise privileged.
