Cape Verde is one African country which many people across the globe hardly hear about. This country of ten islands is erroneously known as a poor low-income country. Cape Verde has, in recent years, been proving that resource-poor countries could be in the spotlight for the right reasons. The country’s government has made prudent financial management and accountability its hallmark. Hard work and good governance have become a culture and the people of these islands are already reaping the fruits of their labor.
The adoption of NEPAD as the development programme of the African Union and its African Peer Review Mechanism has enhanced political and economic governance of the continent but the challenges remain daunting, said the Chairman of the African Union, Ghana’s President John Kufuor, in a message to mark Africa Day on 25 May 2007. He called on Fellow Africans and Friends of Africa: “On the occasion of the celebration of yet another Africa Day, let us rededicate ourselves to work to turn Africa into a larger expanse of peace and stability and the dream of an African Economic Market with its free movement of people, goods and services and the spread of prosperity as a tribute to Africa’s unity and solidarity”. Speaking to the theme "Strengthening Africa’s place in the world through strategic, balanced and responsible partnership", he said:
The 18th consultative committee for State Universities deliberated on Wednesday, May 23, 2007. Presided by the Minister of Higher Education, Jacque Fame Ndongo, the meeting focused on personnel deficit in state Universities. The delegates also scrutinized files of some University lecturers that are due promotion. Announcement was made that some 600 lecturers shall be recruited into state Universities. This measure only partially solves the problem of acute shortage of personnel in state Universities and other institutions of higher learning in Cameroon. Cameroon has six state universities, with two more promised by the President of the Republic. Official sources estimate that at least 1.000 lecturers are needed. This acute shortage is accentuated with the creation of two new Universities in the country. The consultative committee also examined the files of some 170 applicants eligible for promotion to higher academic ranks. Prof Jacque Fame Ndongo, the Minister of Higher Education cautioned committee members to be objective and impartial in the evaluation of candidates. However, publishing in the country is at a low ebb, as even text books used in the state and private Universities are imported.
‘No food for a lazy man’ is a saying that is becoming common among Cameroonian youths. Many have come to realise that waiting on the government is not the best option; and so, more and more are getting involved in what can be termed odd job. Rather than starving to death or stealing, many prefer to serve as cleaners, gardeners, yard boys, truck-pushers and house servants, ‘head porter’. Streets are crowded with young boys and girls hawking foodstuff, kitchen utensils and many other things. Sometimes one finds it difficult to decide from which phone booth to make a call, because they are not just many, but all are trying in their own different ways to be attractive. This is a picture of life in streets of urban Cameroon. While in the countryside after every five homes, you find displayed items for sale.
The African Development Bank (ADB) Group on Sunday, May 13, 2007, in Shanghai,China, released a report on the continent’s economic outlook. The report, which is jointly published with the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), provides a clear picture of how the continent is fairing economically and the challenges it is dealing with. The African Economic Outlook (AEO) is based upon the experience and skills of the OECD and the African Development Bank to provide an annual snapshot of the economic condition of the African continent. The report is a reference point and a health check for the continent as a whole, taking into account the international situation and the influences of both internal factors and of the global economy.

In September 2002, almost five years ago, the international community descended on South Africa’s city of Johannesburg to summit on implementing sustainable development. It was an event organised as a result of anxiety and frustration with the very slow progress in implementing Agenda 21 adopted 10 years earlier in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro during the United Nations Conference of Environment and Development (UNCED). The Johannesburg Summit was expected to be the turning point in the search for sustainable development: from political debates to concrete actions to fight poverty, stem environmental degradation and achieve global social inclusion.
Following consultation with Ericsson's major shareholders, the Ericsson Board of Directors has proposed that the Long-Term Variable Compensation Program 2007 be modified to meet the company's needs and shareholder interests. The Board of Directors has decided to make two changes to the previous proposal: the threshold for the awarding of shares to top executives has been raised, and the proposal has been separated into a number of individual components. The program is now divided into three plans: a Stock Purchase Plan designed to award one matching share for each share invested under the plan; a plan for up to 6 300 key contributors to receive a second matching share; and a third plan embracing 220 top executives who earn a further four, six or eight matching shares provided that certain financial goals are met.
