The world has reached the threshold of an absolute overhaul and reconfiguration of society and workplaces. The transformation is being caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is changing every facet of life, including education. The revolution is epitomised by breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology and quantum computing, among others. This comes at a time when the United Nations has conceived the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG s) under Agenda 2030. The convergence of SDG s and 4IR cannot be overemphasised. The implementation of 4IR technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), learning analytics and the Internet of Things, promotes inclusive, equitable and quality education that is in sync with SDG 4. Zimbabwe’s updated curriculum for 2015 to 2022 has emphasised ICT and learner-centred learning in the expectation that this transformation in the education sector will create competent, problem-solving and critical thinkers with the zeal to modernise society.
世界已经达到了对社会和工作场所进行彻底改革和重新配置的门槛。这种转变是由第四次工业革命(4IR)引起的,它正在改变生活的方方面面,包括教育。这场革命的缩影是人工智能、机器人、生物技术和量子计算等领域的突破。此时此刻,联合国正在构思2030年议程下的可持续发展目标(SDG s)。可持续发展目标 与第四次工业革命的融合再怎么强调也不为过。人工智能(AI)、学习分析和物联网等第四次工业革命技术的实施,将促进与可持续发展目标4同步的包容、公平和优质教育。津巴布韦2015年至2022年更新的课程强调了信息通信技术和以学习者为中心的学习,期望教育部门的这种转变将培养有能力、解决问题和批判性的思想家,并对社会现代化充满热情。

Land reform in South Africa has been criticised for its failure to significantly improve beneficiaries’ livelihoods. Among the reasons is the government’s stubborn enforcement of large-scale farming on land reform projects. This article presents the experiences of land reform beneficiaries on a single case farm in Limpopo Province, confirming, on one hand, that indeed the capital-intensive model of production negatively affects their production and livelihoods. On the other, the article shows that where alternative land uses are introduced, even alongside large-scale farming, land contributes to beneficiaries’ livelihoods. The article argues that a nuanced analysis that goes beyond the narrow commercial and econometric value of land, to include its social value, allows us to comprehend the full extent of land’s contribution to rural livelihoods in South Africa.
南非的土地改革因未能显著改善受益者的生计而受到批评。原因之一是政府在土地改革项目中顽固地执行大规模农业。本文介绍了林波波省一个单一案例农场土地改革受益者的经验,一方面证实了资本密集型生产模式确实对他们的生产和生计产生了负面影响。另一方面,这篇文章表明,在引入替代性土地利用的地方,即使是在大规模农业的同时,土地也有助于受益者的生计。这篇文章认为,超越土地狭隘的商业和计量经济价值,包括其社会价值的细致分析,使我们能够全面理解土地对南非农村生计的贡献。

The paper begins with popular narratives on climate change and food insecurity in the Sahel, painting a brief history of how pastoralists and their lifestyles have been understood by external scholars dealing with the theme of natural resource commons. This leads into a deeper analysis of multiple understandings of the productive political potential of the common/s as articulated by economists, historians and academics, and an exploration of the implications of these theories for the Sahel. This includes various government policies managing the commons, ranging from open-access to ranch-based systems, and the privatisation or exploitation of the commons by capitalist actors. The paper further explores three design principles, namely, mobility, inclusion and conflict mediation, for better governance in the region, and ends with a note of caution against the green-washed pursuit of growth rates, tempered by a note of hope in the figure of the vigilant and empowered pastoralist.
这篇论文从萨赫勒地区气候变化和粮食不安全的流行叙述开始,描绘了一段关于牧民及其生活方式如何被处理自然资源公地主题的外部学者所理解的简短历史。这将导致对经济学家、历史学家和学者所阐述的共同/s的生产性政治潜力的多种理解进行更深入的分析,并探索这些理论对萨赫勒地区的影响。这包括管理公地的各种政府政策,从开放获取到以牧场为基础的系统,以及资本主义行为者对公地的私有化或剥削。本文进一步探讨了改善该地区治理的三个设计原则,即流动性、包容性和冲突调解,最后对追求增长率的绿色主义提出了警告,同时也对警惕和赋权的牧民的形象提出了希望。

Sustainable Development Goal 5 is seen as critical in achieving gender equality. Women and girls are still marginalised and disadvantaged in Africa, and proportionally few are financially and socially independent. Hence, there is a concern about the gender gap in digital financial inclusion on the continent. The paper draws on existing literature to examine the extent to which digital financial inclusion facilitates women’s economic empowerment in four African countries: Ghana, Kenya, Namibia and Lesotho. It further discusses the challenges women face in taking part in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Despite all the policies implemented by African states and the growing participation of these nations in 4IR, women still lag behind in digital financial inclusion. The paper concludes that enforcing gender equity in the digital environment is necessary to pave the way for the future. Technology is human-invented and follows the instructions that we dictate. Hence, we could use it to improve gender equality in the 4IR environment and move closer to achieving sustainable development.
可持续发展目标5被视为实现性别平等的关键。在非洲,妇女和女孩仍然被边缘化和处于不利地位,在经济和社会上独立的比例很小。因此,人们对非洲大陆数字普惠金融领域的性别差距感到担忧。本文利用现有文献,研究了数字普惠金融在加纳、肯尼亚、纳米比亚和莱索托四个非洲国家促进妇女经济赋权的程度。它进一步讨论了女性在参与第四次工业革命(4IR)时面临的挑战。尽管非洲国家实施了所有政策,并且这些国家越来越多地参与第四次工业革命,但女性在数字普惠金融方面仍然落后。该报告的结论是,在数字环境中加强性别平等对于为未来铺平道路是必要的。科技是人类发明的,它遵循我们的指令。因此,我们可以利用它来改善第四次工业革命环境中的性别平等,朝着实现可持续发展更近一步。

Over the last two decades, international summits have gained great importance for regional and global actors in terms of developing relations with African countries. China, India, Japan, the Unites States, European countries and Russia have conducted various summits and business forums to develop political, economic and military relations with Africa. In 2005, Turkey emerged as a new actor when its foreign policy opened up to Africa. It was a strategic partner to the African Union in 2008, has conducted two Turkey–Africa summits—in 2008 in Istanbul, and in 2014 in Malabo—and the third summit was held again in Istanbul in December 2021. This article analyses the Istanbul and Malabo declarations comprehensively to evaluate Turkey’s foreign policy discourse on Africa. Moreover, it examines Turkey’s Africa policy implementations and achievements in the continent through the lens of summits.

Human Mobility and Climate Change Adaptation in Small-Scale Farming Areas in Eastern Zimbabwe 津巴布韦东部小农地区的人口流动和气候变化适应
IF 0.8 Q4 AREA STUDIES Pub Date : 2022-02-02 DOI: 10.1163/09744061-20220127

This paper examines the role played by human mobility as a climate change adaptation strategy in Zimbabwe’s small-scale farming areas. Livelihoods in Zimbabwe’s small-scale farming areas are mostly agriculture-based and have long suffered from low levels of production. This is largely due to poor agroecological conditions and lack of agricultural investment, including income diversification projects from the central government. Recently, extreme climatic events in these areas have exacerbated food insecurity challenges, prompting many households to relocate. The findings of this study indicate that most households in the small-scale farming regions are resorting to either short- or long-term migration to areas that offer them food security. In these areas, poor households are forced to work on large commercial farms where they are paid in maize grain or trade their products for food to support their families. This paper argues that, if properly used together with other climate change policies promoted in Zimbabwe, human mobility can be an effective climate change adaptation strategy in small-scale farming areas.
本文考察了人口流动作为一项气候变化适应战略在津巴布韦小规模农业地区所发挥的作用。津巴布韦小规模农业地区的生计主要以农业为基础,长期以来一直受到低生产水平的影响。这主要是由于恶劣的农业生态条件和缺乏农业投资,包括中央政府的收入多样化项目。最近,这些地区的极端气候事件加剧了粮食不安全挑战,促使许多家庭搬迁。这项研究的结果表明,小规模农业地区的大多数家庭正在采取短期或长期迁移的方式,向能够提供粮食安全的地区迁移。在这些地区,贫困家庭被迫在大型商业农场工作,在那里他们的报酬是玉米谷物,或者用自己的产品换取粮食来养家糊口。本文认为,如果适当地与津巴布韦推广的其他气候变化政策一起使用,人口流动可以成为小规模农业地区有效的气候变化适应战略。

Borders, Migration and Xenophobic Policies in West Africa 西非的边界、移民和仇外政策
IF 0.8 Q4 AREA STUDIES Pub Date : 2022-01-25 DOI: 10.1163/09744061-20220121

The 1979 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Protocol, or Article 59 of the 1993 ECOWAS Revised Treaty, encapsulates the terms and conditions for a visa-free and borderless economic community. It is geared towards decolonising the colonial borders and encouraging economic activity. But despite the ratification of the Protocol, documented and undocumented migrants continue to be expelled, blocked at borders and prevented from doing business, and suffer other xenophobic mistreatment, within the sub-region. The member states of ECOWAS have implemented anti-immigrant policies, from which Community citizens are rarely exempted. The article argues that the political class in the various states in the sub-region has nurtured and exploited a xenophobic consciousness, which has prevented the growth of class consciousness and protects their power base. The xenophobic policies of West African states have also created the necessary conditions to impede the implementation of the ECOWAS Protocol.
1979年西非国家经济共同体(ECOWAS)议定书,或1993年西非国家经济共同体修订条约第59条,概括了免签证和无国界经济共同体的条款和条件。它的目标是使殖民地边界非殖民化和鼓励经济活动。但是,尽管批准了《议定书》,在该分区域内,有证件和无证件的移徙者继续被驱逐,在边境被封锁,不能做生意,并遭受其他仇外虐待。西非经共体成员国实施了反移民政策,共同体公民很少得到豁免。文章认为,该次区域各国的政治阶级培育和利用了一种仇外意识,这种意识阻碍了阶级意识的发展,保护了他们的权力基础。西非国家的仇外政策也为阻碍西非经共体议定书的执行创造了必要的条件。

Later Stone and Iron Age Cohabitation at the Nsongezi Open-Air Site, Western Uganda 乌干达西部Nsongezi露天遗址的石器和铁器时代晚期共存
IF 0.8 Q4 AREA STUDIES Pub Date : 2022-01-18 DOI: 10.1163/09744061-20220001

This research at the Nsongezi open-air site examines the intergenerational artefacts at a site where the first Stone Age artefacts were identified in Uganda. The purpose was to examine the nature and cause of the mixed Later Stone Age (LSA) and Iron Age (IA) artefacts in the same stratigraphic context at Nsongezi. The specific objectives included examining the ceramic assemblage, discussing the nature of interactions between the Later Stone Age and Iron Age people and accounting for why and how the mixture of artefacts occurs at Nsongezi. Using a documentary review, archaeological survey, and excavation, the research re-examines the theories of displacement and coexistence concerning the LSA and IA material mixture, which has always been dismissed as a disturbance of stratigraphic contexts. Guided by the Law of superimposition, the association of archaeological material from different cultural periods such as the Later Stone Age and Iron Age artefacts at Nsongezi is attributed to four phenomena. First is the cultural interaction of distinct LSA and IA populations. Secondly, the LSA populations may have adopted Iron Age technology and pottery while continuing with some of the LSA technology and pottery. Thirdly, the Iron Age populations occupied the LSA sites previously abandoned, and some of the LSA peoples occupied the old Iron Age sites as the two groups crisscrossed the region in shifting agricultural and hunter-gatherer economies. Finally, the mixed LSA and Iron Age deposits might have resulted from post-abandonment taphonomic processes. Therefore, the social interactions between the LSA and IA at Nsongezi challenge the dominant narrative that the IA populations used their metal technology’s superiority to displace and absorb the LSA people.
在Nsongezi露天遗址进行的这项研究检查了在乌干达发现第一批石器时代人工制品的遗址的代际人工制品。目的是研究在Nsongezi同一地层背景下的晚期石器时代(LSA)和铁器时代(IA)混合人工制品的性质和原因。具体目标包括检查陶瓷组合,讨论石器时代晚期和铁器时代人类之间相互作用的本质,以及解释为什么以及如何在Nsongezi出现人工制品的混合物。通过文献回顾、考古调查和挖掘,本研究重新审视了一直被认为是地层环境扰动的LSA和IA物质混合物的位移和共存理论。在叠加定律的指导下,来自不同文化时期的考古材料,如Nsongezi的晚期石器时代和铁器时代的文物,可以归结为四种现象。首先是不同LSA和IA种群之间的文化相互作用。其次,LSA人群可能采用了铁器时代的技术和陶器,同时继续使用一些LSA技术和陶器。第三,铁器时代的人口占据了先前被遗弃的LSA遗址,一些LSA人占据了旧铁器时代的遗址,因为这两个群体在农业和狩猎-采集经济的转变中纵横交错。最后,LSA和铁器时代的混合沉积可能是废弃后的地学作用的结果。因此,在Nsongezi, LSA和IA之间的社会互动挑战了IA群体利用其金属技术优势取代和吸收LSA人群的主流叙事。

Secondly, the LSA populations may have adopted Iron Age technology and pottery while continuing with some of the LSA technology and pottery. Thirdly, the Iron Age populations occupied the LSA sites previously abandoned, and some of the LSA peoples occupied the old Iron Age sites as the two groups crisscrossed the region in shifting agricultural and hunter-gatherer economies. Finally, the mixed LSA and Iron Age deposits might have resulted from post-abandonment taphonomic processes. Therefore, the social interactions between the LSA and IA at Nsongezi challenge the dominant narrative that the IA populations used their metal technology’s superiority to displace and absorb the LSA people.","PeriodicalId":41966,"journal":{"name":"Africa Review","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87007442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT The phenomenon of migration involves the movement of people from one milieu to another. Different reasons underscore this movement by people such as escape from conflict, quest for greener pasture, search for employment, and coercion from criminal syndicates. This paper focuses on the dynamics of intra-regional migration in West Africa. The importance of migration within West Africa is emphasized in the region’s development agenda, Vision 2020, which places importance on regional resource development. Ease of migration is central to harnessing the region’s human resource potential for development ends. At inception, migration within West Africa was governed by the ECOWAS protocol on free movement of persons, residence, and establishment adopted in 1979. Within this framework, migration is considered as an integral element in the economic integration of the region. Hence, the protocol provides the right of entry for 90 days, residence and establishment for citizens of ECOWAS member countries. The ECOWAS Common Approach on Migration adopted in 2008 currently governs the migration process in the region. In interrogating migration governance in West Africa, this paper identifies challenges, such as, defective state capacities and continued underdevelopment, protectionist policies, language, colonial vestiges, such as, currency, among others, as factors militating against the successful exploitation of the region’s productive population for development ends.
移民现象是指人们从一个环境迁移到另一个环境。人们迁徙的原因各不相同,如逃离冲突、寻求更绿色的牧场、寻找就业机会以及来自犯罪集团的胁迫。本文的重点是西非区域内移民的动态。该地区的发展议程《2020年愿景》强调了西非内部移民的重要性,该议程重视区域资源开发。移民便利对于利用该区域的人力资源潜力促进发展至关重要。一开始,西非境内的移徙受1979年通过的西非经共体关于人员、居住和机构自由流动的议定书管辖。在这个框架内,移徙被认为是该区域经济一体化的一个组成部分。因此,议定书规定了西非经共体成员国公民入境90天、居住和定居的权利。2008年通过的西非经共体共同移民办法目前管理着该地区的移民进程。在研究西非的移民治理时,本文指出了一些挑战,如国家能力缺陷和持续的不发达、保护主义政策、语言、殖民残余(如货币)等,这些都是阻碍该地区为发展目的成功利用生产性人口的因素。
