Bude, Udo [Hrsg.]: From Home to School African Children between Family and School Education A Reader, Bonn DSE German Foundation for International Development 1981 ; weicher Einband / soft cover
The hereby presented READER was originally prepared for the participants of the W6RKSHOP ON EARLY CHILDHOOD EDU CATION jointly organized by the Kenya Institute of Educa tion, Nairobi, and the German Foundation for International Development (DSE), Bonn, on behalf of the African Curricu lum Organization (ACO) in July/August 1979. In order to enhance the dialogue and discussion about the aspects of tradition and modernity in African Education furthermore and cope with the great demand for materials on such issues this- version was re edited with slight modifi cations. The articles and abstracts concentrate mainly on the problems of the transition from home to school, whereas curriculum problems for the lower primary school classes will be discussed. by taking actual examples from the work so far done by the Kenya Institute of Education. The READER does not claim to give a comprehensive intro duction into the problems of transition from home to school in Africa. It should be seen as an attempt to provide a collection of different experiences and views of the problem based on the material available at the Foundations Library. Those, well-acquainted with the topic, may find some useful hints from latest publications. Others may view the READER as a stimuli for further in depth studies of particular aspects resulting from their occupation with the problems treated in the different abstracts and articles.

Furthermore, recent work has indicated the desirability, or necessity, as the case may be, of futher nomenclatorial changes. Most of these cases are discussed in due order in the following list. "..

Annual Report of the Global Environment Facility 1995, Washington The Global Environment Facility 1996 ; weicher Einband / soft cover
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) was launched as a pilot program in 1991 to assist developing countries and those with economies in transition, in pursuit of global benefits in the four focal areas of biodiversity, climate change, international waters, and ozone layer depletion. During the pilot, an estimated US$ 730 million was allocated to fund a work program of 115 global, regional, and country projects. In March 1994, some 73 participating governments concluded negotiations for restructuring the Facility as a major source for global environment funding. Together with the revisions of institutional arrangements for the GEF, the core fund was replenished with more than US$ 2 billion to be committed during a three-year period, including for activities that address land degradation, primarily desertification and deforestation, as they relate to the four focal areas. All funds, receipts, assets, and liabilities held in the pilot phase were transferred to the new trust fund in March 1995, as the pilot phase terminated and the new GEF was established as a permanent mechanism to finance innovative programs and facilitate policy discourse. A council of 32 members representing participating countries now convenes biannually to adopt, review, and evaluate the operational policies. The council also approves GEF work programs and direct the utilization of GEF funds. An independent Secretariat was also established. An operational strategy was developed to ensure that GEF resources would be used cost-effectively and to maximize global benefits. Approved by the Council in October 1995, this strategy is intended to provide a programmatic framework for stronger integration among the GEFs implementing agencies (UNDP, UNEP, and the World Bank), the Secretariat, STAP, and for the international conventions on biodiversity and climate change, for which the GEF provides operational support. A great deal has been accomplished in the short time since the restructuring. This first annual report reviews the activities of the GEF during the fiscal year of July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995. The ongoing programs and projects are surveyed, and descriptions are provided of the developments, disbursements and new activities in each focal area. The GEF resources being used to help improve the global environment are also helping to leverage greater attention, political will, and more funding for these urgent needs. Now in its second year, and guided by the policies and program priorities of the Conference of the Parties (COPs), the Conventions on Biodiversity and Climate Change, as well as by its Council, the Facility can pursue with vigor its mission of global environment improvement, within a framework of sustainable development, for the benefit of the planet and its inhabitants.
