The organisation has said that the policy will "open the floodgates for dumping e-wastes in the country."

11/20/2006 "It's an extraordinary feeling to sit in the annual negotiations of the world's governments tackling one of the biggest threats to humankind - and to be surrounded by such a lack of urgency among most delegates", writes Oxfam's Kate Raworth. So what was the image that symbolised this conference? Not what you might expect.

Aurinkokeitin kenialaisella pakolaisleirillä.
11/06/2006 Keitin, joka kypsentää ruuan ilman tulta, pelkän auringonvalon avulla, ällistyttää yhä naisia Kenian maaseudulla. Laitteella on heidän mielestään lukuisia etuja, mutta silti se herättää myös ennakkoluuloja. Ihmelaite syntyy vaikka pahvilaatikosta, jonka sisäseinät vuorataan alumiinifoliolla.

Lo slum di Kibera (Nairobi)
11/04/2006 Conversione del debito per un valore di 44 milioni di euro, cooperazione culturale e collaborazione in ambito spaziale: sono i contenuti dei tre accordi bilaterali firmati il 27 ottobre scorso alla Farnesina dalla vice ministra degli Esteri, Patrizia Sentinelli, e dal collega keniota, Raphael Tuju - informa la Campagna "WNairobiW". I 44 milioni di debito "cancellati" devono finire in un fondo speciale per finanziare progetti di sviluppo rurale e istruzione. La collaborazione in ambito spaziale prevede l'ampliamento del centro spaziale San Marco, a circa 32 chilometri da Malindi. Con il rinnovo dell'accordo, l'Italia si impegna anche "a favorire la crescita sociale e culturale dell'area intorno alla base e dell'intero Paese" - ha affermato il sottosegretario alla Difesa Luciano Modica, che ha partecipato ai lavori. "Un impegno che l'Italia già onora abbondantemente" - ha puntualizzato il ministro del Kenya, "visto che proprio grazie al centro spaziale di Malindi siamo in grado di diffondere notizie meteorologiche puntuali e indispensabili ai piccoli agricoltori delle aree rurali".
