UWAZI KWA AFRICA! The Open Government Partnership takes root in Africa
|
Is the Open Government Partnership (OGP) taking root in Africa? How can we build on initial successes and meet national commitments to open governance? These were the questions dominating discussion at the OGP regional planning meeting in the coastal town of Mombasa, Kenya, where over 100 government and civil society representatives from 16 countries gathered last week to chart a dynamic African agenda for the Partnership. Hosted by Kenya’s Ministry of Information and Communications and organised by the Kenya ICT Board, the OGP Partnership Support Unit and civil society organisations, the two-day meeting brought together government Ministers, parliamentarians, civil society experts, multilateral agencies and the media to share experiences and spur innovation to build transparent and accountable governments across the continent. Through a series of panel discussions and thematic sessions on issues ranging from the status of access to information legislation in African countries, to improved processes for public financial management, and technical innovations in e-governance and open data provision, participants critically reviewed and agreed upon necessary national and regional action, including bringing new African members into the OGP, its endorsement by the African Union, and its alignment with the African Peer Review Mechanism. The OGP is a young initiative, but it is growing fast. Launched in September 2011 by eight founding countries (Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, South Africa, the United Kingdom and United States), the OGP now has 59 participating countries, five of which are African. Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Liberia and South Africa have all met the OGP’s eligibility requirements and have embraced the Open Government Declaration, developing national action plans through public consultation, and committing to independent reporting of their progress. Malawi, Cape Verde, Uganda, Senegal and Ethiopia are also now eligible for the OGP, and Nigeria, Namibia and Sierra Leone have expressed interest in joining. The starting point for potential members is government recognition of citizens’ rights to information and to active participation in public governance; indeed, states need to proactively disclose information and citizens need to capture the spirit of demanding it. The next step is commitment by governments and civil society to a collaborative process in overseeing implementation of OGP principles in their countries, as affirmed through joint formulation of a national action plan and delivery of this plan to the OGP Secretariat. Through these plans, governments and civil society organizations in member countries are now working together to promote transparency, increase civic participation, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. Their plans share a number of common features, with commitments structured around key challenges that all governments face: improving public services; increasing public integrity; effectively managing public resources; creating safer communities; and increasing corporate accountability. Members’ action plans and progress in opening government – not only to public servants and experts, but to all citizens – was the subject of extensive discussion at the meeting. All participants agreed that action plans can only generate real improvements in governance and development when all citizens are aware of and take ownership of the OGP as an instrument that can change their lives. The grassroots popularization of the OGP has yet to be achieved, and it is the job not only of civil society organizations, but of governments. Alongside transparent disclosure of information on government activities that is timely, freely available and meets user-friendly open data standards, governments need to mobilize broad-based citizen participation in monitoring and supporting the implementation of OGP action plans. A government that is genuinely responsive and accountable has nothing to fear from the empowered and energised participation of its people. Extensive public hearings; parliamentary debates; proactive use of social media and open data portals; transmission of OGP-related information through television, radio and print media; and government communication with youth in schools and universities are highly effective mobilisation tools for OGP implementation and citizen feedback. The key message of the OGP regional meeting is that the OGP has revolutionary potential for Africa. It is a platform for people’s power, giving us the tools, information and participation that we need to take greater control of our own development and to unleash an open governance revolution in Africa and throughout the world. We all have a stake in its success.

Celebrating 50 years of African unity

Photo: ONE As many of you will know, May 25 marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the African Union and its predecessor the Organisation of African Unity. It is now known as Africa Freedom Day. It was a seminal moment 50 years ago when heads of state from 32 African countries—most of them being newly independent on the world stage—met together in Addis Ababa to chart a unified vision for a free and liberated continent that was still emerging from colonialism. The African Union now counts 54 states amongst its members. This week’s celebrations looked back on 50 years of historic struggle for self-determination and achievement while also acknowledging the very real challenges still plaguing the continent. This was well captured in the 21st African Union Summit’s theme of “Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance,” which concluded yesterday. ONE’s Africa Team was there to take part in this celebration and gathering of all the continent’s leaders. We used the opportunity to engage political leaders and build public support on issues which ONE campaigns on. Our Agriculture campaign continues to build momentum toward the African Union’s Year of Agriculture and Food Security in 2014. In keeping with the celebratory nature of the week, we worked with the AU Commission (AUC), ACORD and ActionAid to host a panel session in the African Youth Forum on Thursday. We also jointly hosted a press conference with a broad array of African and international media present.  (Left to right) Mr. Upadhyaya, Dr Sipho Moyo and Dr. Abebe Haile Gabriel form part of the panel at a press conference on African governments following through on their commitments to invest in agriculture. Photo: ONE I was joined at the press conference and the panel session by an incredible range of voices, including Dr. Abebe Haile Gabriel, the AUC’s Director for Rural Economy and Agriculture; Sara Yapwa, a Nigerian woman farmer; Mr. Biranchi Upadhyaya, ActionAid’s International Programs Director; Boaz Keizerie, Special Advisor to the Rural Economy and Agriculture Commissioner at the AUC; and Vincent Rapeta, a young South African farmer. We emphasised that it was important for countries to meet the commitment to allocate 10% of national budgets to agriculture (as laid out in the 2003 Maputo Declaration) to demonstrate accountability. However, the quality of investment and its impact on smallholder farmers is also crucial to track, and my fellow panellists provided each of their unique perspectives. Dr. Abebe spoke about the importance of African countries developing their rural economies, almost as a precondition to developing agriculture. He said that not only must we provide affordable inputs and resources for agricultural production but also for supporting agro industries as well. This is what’s needed to attract youth in the sector, as the African Union is concerned that youth are not participating sufficiently in agriculture. However, according to Dr. Abebe, the future African farmer will be younger, more educated and possess sophisticated business acumen with access to information and have higher aspirations than today’s farmers. Sara, the Nigerian farmer, implored governments to keep their commitments. She spoke about the need for farmer’s voices to be included in policy making as they know what hurts most in the risky business of farming. Mr. Upadhyaya further called for a fair deal for small holder farmers and a timetable for African states to meet their Maputo commitments. Then Vincent, whose full story you can read here, spoke about his own experience of starting a career in agriculture and how he hasn’t turned his back since. He also spoke about the challenges he faces in accessing finance and land while ensuring high quality in his produce. With perseverance he has been able to overcome these challenges and obtain more land for cultivation, but is aware that this is not assured for all young people in South Africa. He mentioned there are times when those who don’t farm—like doctors and teachers—receive land re-distributed by the government. Youth in the audience were inspired and challenged to hear from a youth farmer, as land access emerged as a key issue for them.  Several heads of state spoke at the African Youth Forum in Addis Ababa as part of the AU’s Golden Jubilee celebration. They participated in an Intergenerational Dialogue to engage young people on the proposed Africa 2063 agenda. Photo: ONE On Friday, we joined the Youth Forum again at a plenary with African Presidents from Liberia, Zambia, Senegal, Ethiopia, Botswana, and Senegal along with AUC Chair Mrs. Dlamini-Zuma. The event was an intergenerational dialogue where youth debated with their presidents about the AU’s past, its current challenges and how the AU will provide opportunities for youth to be included in decision-making. The lack of progress on Maputo’s 10% was also raised. It was an energetic dialogue moderated by the BBC’s Zeinab Badawi. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mrs. Dlamini-Zuma called on African leaders to have regular interface with young people at national and continental levels. All in all, the past week was an incredible opportunity to connect, critically take stock and assess the positive gains made in the economic and political development of Africa over the last five decades. We at ONE are honoured to have been a small part of the celebrations and look forward to the next 50 years of progress.

“I am a farmer by accident but I am loving it” – meet the new generation of African farmers
|
Our guest blogger today is Vincent Rapeta, a young farmer from South Africa. He is speaking at the African Union Youth Forum in Addis Ababa this week as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations.  Vincent with a crop of tomatoes from his farm. Photo: ONE I’m Vincent and I come from Limpopo Province in South Africa. I’m 28 and a farmer. I grow maize, butternut squash, watermelon, tomato, beetroot and cabbages. I am a farmer by accident but I’m loving it. I was raised by a single parent and we were very poor when I was growing up. I think that my mother earned R5000 a year. In today’s US dollars, that is just over $500. I had dreams of becoming an auditor and fighting corruption but we didn’t have money to send me to university. But I did have an opportunity. I was helping my mother while I was in school on our small plot of two hectares. And after I was done with school, I started helping her full time- that’s how I became a farmer. Our produce started being noticed for its quality and in 2006, the local Department of Agriculture selected me to attend an agriculture training programme where I learned about soil quality, when to plant certain crops and also special knowledge about growing tomatoes, which are higher value crops. I eventually got my own plot and started expanding the amount of produce we could grow, and began to employ some local people to help me manage my plots and harvests. In 2010, I went to school again to learn about the business side of farming and best management practices. I learned about finances, communications, labour and best standards for my produce. In 2011, I won the Best Farmer award in Molemole Municipality. I was so excited. Last year I decided to expand my operation and was able to obtain 20 hectares from the traditional council in my area and another 20 from the municipality. I am now trying to get those plots of land suitable for farming as they are still covered in bush. I’ve had to spend my savings to clear the land and drill boreholes for irrigation, but hope to be up and running by the end of this year.  A field of tomatoes on Vincent’s farm in Limpopo, South Africa. Photo: ONE Farming is hard work. It is very challenging, but so rewarding. I think there are three main challenges for young farmers like me. First, we need access to land and financial services. I have been very lucky – an elderly neighbour allowed me to farm her plot and I also had my mother’s plot to start from. Not all of my fellow young South Africans without work have been so fortunate. South Africa is redistributing its land but it often goes to people who don’t make a living from it. A doctor will get a few hectares where I live, but then wake up and go to his job. Banks require security and collateral for loans. Hail can ruin one season’s harvest. I’ve saved and have been able to use this to expand, but we need insurance and loans to help us move forward. When we take the risk, we need government to meet us half way in managing these costs. Second, we need to challenge the perception that informal sector farmers like myself provide poor quality produce. I was once told by a buyer for a big market that he wouldn’t buy tomatoes from black farmers. And this was a black man telling me this. He would buy spinach and butternut but not tomatoes. So we must try to promote the real quality of food that informal farmers produce. And finally, we need access to fair markets. As we plan our crop we need to be sure that it will not go to waste. In Limpopo I am lucky that the food bank buys my tomatoes and my income is assured, other youth farmers in the rest of the country don’t have the same opportunities. We need policies that support the development of crop markets so that farmers can increase their harvest, earn more income and improve their families’ lives. All I can say is that here is so much opportunity in farming. I think young people all over Africa should look to farming to improve their lives and improve our continent. We’re always crying of not having jobs. Well, we can find land. We’re not disabled. Why can’t we just make our own job? Our governments just need to make it easier by building roads that lead to markets and by providing marketing information and training to farmers. I dream of owning 1000 hectares in ten years where I can have a herd of cattle and provide so many jobs to contribute to poverty alleviation. I know this is possible and with the right policies from government, all of us here will be farming.

Why ONE and 36 other African organisations have sent an urgent letter to David Cameron
|
In a few weeks, the UK government will host a major international event in London called Nutrition for Growth: Beating Hunger through Business and Science. Happening just days before the 2013 G8 Summit in Lough Erne, it will bring together governments, businesses, scientists and civil society to examine strategies that could improve the quality and quantity of food available to the world’s poorest people. Back in March I attended a highly energised meeting of African civil society organisations in Ethiopia, who had gathered for Africa’s biggest annual forum on agriculture and where we launched our report A Growing Opportunity. We all agreed an urgent message needed to be sent to the international community before the June summit in the UK. As a result, ONE together with 36 other African organisations have written to UK Prime Minister Cameron asking his government to ensure that African-led agriculture is at the heart of the Nutrition for Growth event, and specifically the existing CAADP plans. CAADP stands for the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Program. It has already created momentum to reform agriculture in 40 out of 53 African countries and many more are joining. This makes it the single best existing framework that would support the G8 to deliver excellent results from their food security and nutrition investments on the continent. CAADP will also become the central organising vehicle for the African Union year of Agriculture in 2014. African states have committed themselves become more accountable to their people on accelerated progress in fighting hunger and helping small-holder farmers access better investment, technology and markets to sell their produce. African leadership, political will and investment is critical to realising the poverty reducing potential of African agriculture. The private sector and international community also has a very important supporting role to play in investing in African-led agriculture. Rhoda Peace Tumusiime, African Union Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, has said, “Africa has potential, but it cannot eat potential. More coordinated action is needed”. Rather than re-invent the wheel, the G8 must build on the momentum growing across Africa and fund the agriculture plans already in place.

How Grow Africa could be a game changer for African farming and business
|
ONE US Policy Manager David Hong and ONE Africa Deputy Director Nachilala Nkombo look at the progress made by Grow Africa in the last year. Today, five African heads of state, four G8 development ministers, and over 100 private sector companies will meet in Cape Town, South Africa at the World Economic Forum on Africa to assess Grow Africa’s work in 2012, the partnership’s first full year in business. First, here’s a little background. Two years ago, the African Union Commission, New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) agency, and the World Economic Forum combined forces to create a new partnership, Grow Africa, which aims to reduce poverty by accelerating private sector investment in African agriculture. The partnership is led by the organisations above, and includes eight member countries and various stakeholders such as host governments, companies involved in investment, civil society, research institutions, and farmer organisations.
Here at ONE, we’re taking this opportunity to weigh in on Grow Africa’s first annual report. Overall, the initiative made significant progress last year, especially given the small size of its team. ONE hopes for further and more robust reporting in the coming years so the partnership can demonstrate its value and defend its model. Annual reporting gives Grow Africa an opportunity to demonstrate lessons learned over the past year and what challenges lay ahead. Here are the headlines:
Obviously, there is a lot to commend here. Thousands of smallholders are being incorporated into commercial food supply chains where they’re growing more food and generating more income for their families. If Grow Africa adds further measures to increase transparency and expand reporting of poverty reduction indicators, the partnership could change the game for farmers and businesses. For more information on Grow Africa’s report and ONE’s analysis, check out this policy brief.

Africa Progress Panel calls for resources to fuel inclusive growth
|
Africa is a continent in transformation. With almost half of its countries now classified as middle-income, it is fast becoming a hub of global growth. It is also contending with an economic slowdown amongst its traditional trading partners, and an upsurge in economic interest from the world’s leading emerging economies. Africa’s extractive resources are central to that interest. Growing demand from emerging markets and robust prices mean that African governments can expect resource revenues to continue growing. Over forty African countries are now involved in exploration for or production of extractive resources. Africa is poised as the new gas frontier: the west coast holds over 32 percent of natural gas reserves and countries across East Africa, from Tanzania to Mozambique, are gearing up to pump and export huge new reserves. In many cases, extractives revenues vastly exceed inflows of aid. In 2010, Africa’s exports of oil and minerals were worth roughly seven times the amount of international aid to the continent. The ongoing global commodity boom offers exciting opportunities for Africa to convert its natural resource wealth into much-needed infrastructure, and to build healthy and educated societies. The extractive industries in Africa are also closely associated with the so-called “resource curse” or paradox of plenty, where countries with an abundance of natural resources tend to have lower economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer resources. Oil, gas and mineral exports have frequently led to distorted exchange rates caused by dependence on a single economic sector. Resource-rich countries have also been plagued by weak governance and corruption. This has led many citizens to view their rich natural resource endowments as sources of conflict and suffering, rather than growth and prosperity. The Africa Progress Panel (APP), a group of influential global leaders, has long been calling on the world to do more to tackle these problems. As the APP’s Chair, Kofi Annan, has emphasised how we need action not just from African governments but also from the foreign companies that pay bribes and distort their accounts for profit at the expense of Africa’s people. Combating corruption is a matter of both political and corporate will. 
These issues are at the heart of the APP’s 2013 Africa Progress Report, to be launched this week at the World Economic Forum for Africa. Entitled Equity in Extractives: Stewarding Africa’s Natural Resources for All, the report highlights key challenges plaguing the extractive industries in Africa, and presents a series of policy recommendations geared towards creating a more transparent and equitably managed extractives sector. The report makes clear that transparency is critical. The international community must demand tougher anti-corruption and transparency regulation from its oil, gas, and mining companies. Donors must support civil society with training and capacity-building to monitor government revenues. And companies need to disclose their final beneficial owners, and their payments to governments. Revenues from oil, gas, and mining companies cannot be a state secret. If a country is serious about using resource wealth for the benefit of its population, then its government must be fully transparent about how much money its resources are making. Extractive resource sectors can be managed though systems that favor opaque budget management, corruption and environmental destruction, or they can be managed through open processes that are transparent and equitable. The first way cannot sustain our continent’s growth. The second way can truly transform Africa into a global powerhouse of wealth and wellbeing for all.

Time travel to Africa 2033
|
Mike Drachkovitch, manager of marketing and external relations at ONE, shares his interview with one of the creators of a magazine and brand that is challenging the accepted understanding of Africa. Photos: AITF. Part conceptual magazine, part clothing company, AFRICA IS THE FUTURE, or AITF, is more of an ever-evolving creative project in time travel than anything else.
And that’s exactly what its co-founder and creative director, Nicolas Premiere, had in mind. Nicolas was born in France to a French mother and a Congolese father. He and his business partner Patrick Ayamam launched AITF with an important vision in mind: to change the way you think and talk about Africa. We think he’s done just that. Tell me about how you came to found AITF and the team behind it? A cultural center organizing one of my exhibitions offered to print my t-shirts for the opening. I chose to print [AFRICA IS THE FUTURE] on 30 t-shirts. But it was two years later when AITF was born. There was another exhibition, another opening, where at least ten friends came with the famous t-shirt which led to the audience talking about the slogan, its meaning and Africa.
My friend Patrick and I were pretty surprised by all the discussions that the t-shirts generated.There were new angles, perspectives and ways to talk about Africa. We wanted this to happen again more widely and more often, so we reprinted more t-shirts! In recent years we’ve generated discussion in ways other than the t-shirts-AITF Magazine is the most recent example of this. Let’s talk about your homepage. I’m intrigued by the teaser: everything you want to know about AITF but never dared to ask. Then, clicking through, it says: now you know. What was your reasoning behind this? Now you know means there is no hidden truth or magical secret behind AITF-it’s a creative work that is crucial but surely not sufficient-we are not the solution. We do not pretend to change the world or Africa. You also mention on your homepage how AITF questions how the world is told to us and renews the way Africa is represented. In your view, how is that world told to us and what’s the image of Africa you’re renewing? AITF Magazine, with its fictional content, requires the reader to ask himself questions because everything that normally seems self-evident is reversed. Particularly the traditional image of Africa in the media: poor, sick, plagued by war. By giving Africa the leading role, AITF Magazine places the continent in a position that is nearly the same as the US today. Your conceptual magazine is published 20 years from now in 2033. Why did you pick 2033?
What about the Addis Abeba Panthers?
Your brand utilises some timeless images and design work. Tell us your creative vision behind the look and feel of AITF. How about U.R. Doctors for America – an American child vaccinated in our backyard of Virginia?
What’s your creative process like? One of the statistics I find most exciting about Africa is that 65 percent of Africans are under the age of 35. I couldn’t help but think that AITF is trying to connect with this up-and-coming, change-making generation. Why? Finally, if you could share a message with ONE members young and old, what would it be? Big thanks to Nicolas for sharing his ideas with us. Check out the website and tell us what you think in the comments below.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka records ‘Hearts on Fire’ in support of malaria
|
This World Malaria Day, the incredible Yvonne Chaka Chaka is supporting United Against Malaria and The Princess of Africa Foundation with a special download of the song Hearts on Fire. You might have seen her perform it when she closed out the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations here in Johannesburg back in February. Yvonne has recorded this version with Denis Dowlut, Michael Abdul and Themba Mhinga. World Malaria Day is an important moment to focus global attention on the scourge of malaria. This completely preventable and treatable disease is transmitted by the bites of a specific species of mosquito. Yet as our partners at United Against Malaria note, it continues to kill a child every 60 seconds and causes 655,000 deaths every year—with the vast majority of these occurring across Africa. ONE is fighting this disease through our campaign for the full funding of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which finances medical treatment and prevention measures for malaria all over the world. In addition to funding the fight, it is also essential to educate communities at high risk of exposure to malaria on how they can prevent it and seek treatment immediately if anyone in the family shows symptoms. UAM is working with some of Africa’s biggest football stars to raise awareness about malaria, as well as celebrated artists like Yvonne Chaka Chaka to carry the message through music. Show your support by buying Hearts on Fire on iTunes or Amazon. And take one minute to sign our petition calling for world leaders to scale up their support for the Global Fund.

Meet Ghana’s vaccine king
 Dr. K.O. Antwi-Agyei at the Ghana Health Service Disease control unit vaccination cold storage facilities in Accra, Ghana. Photo: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation This is a guest post from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, originally published on their Impatient Optimists blog. Dr. K.O. Antwi-Agyei manages the Expanded Programme on Immunisation in Ghana, where he oversees the day-to-day work to ensure vaccines reach children across the country. Ghana’s health care system has put a lot of its resources into vaccines. Why? Our communities have also been great because they embrace vaccination. They even testify that “Oh, our children used to die from measles. Now with vaccination, we don’t see measles.” And of course, they allow our staff into their homes. There is trust. We can now return to the communities with other vaccination campaigns. It’s marvelous. What impact have vaccines had on the health of Ghana’s population? For example, measles used to be the number two killer of children. Now it’s no longer a cause of death for the past 10 years in Ghana. So a lot has been achieved through immunisations. Last year, you were the first immunisation chief in Africa to simultaneously roll out two vaccines, one protecting children against pneumonia and the other against rotavirus. Why did you decide to do that and, and what was the result? Our desire to reach the Millennium Development Goal to reduce childhood death was a very big motivating factor. Apart from malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea are the two highest killing diseases. So we thought, if there is no vaccine against malaria now, and there are vaccines against pneumonia and diarrhea, then it’s worth fighting. So we decided to fight the two together. We thought it would be difficult, but not an impossibility. And with careful planning, we could succeed. How important are Ghana’s community health workers in delivering the vaccines? How does Ghana use data collection to improve immunisation coverage? What is your long term goal for Ghana’s immunisation program? This week is World Immunisation Week. Find out more about how ONE is supporting access to vaccinations.
