Centuries of colonial rule left its mark on nearly every region of the African continent; minus that of Ethiopia, which remained independent, and free from foreign subjugation. Comparatively, the face of conflict throughout the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, however, has evolved drastically over the last half-century. Pervasive decolonization movements throughout the region gained momentum from the mid 1950’s forward; many of the movements were built on the pathos of ending foreign rule, while espousing

societies today, women are normally seen as inferior to men and quite weak to handle rigorous tasks like governance among others. Hence the ratio of Sub-Saharan male and female representation and participation in decision-making structures are greatly imbalanced, men are often favored in these structures. This phenomenon is not unique to Sub-Saharan African countries but also occurs in first world countries where women are less represented in parliament. What is patriarchy?

conditions . Many migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Europe,many of them have drowned or either went missing. Migrants who are traveling alone or who are small children are more likely to get more of the abuse or the exploitation. People from Saharan Africa are the most vulnerable because of their skin color. Young migrant and refugee children have access to safe and legal migration pathways . The people who come from a specific country or region or if there age ranges between 14-24. There is

Every day, between 21,000 to 24,000 people die because of hunger or diseases associated with hunger. In 2010, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that 239 million people in sub-Saharan Africa were hungry/undernourished. However, there are many reasons why these numbers are so high, such as poverty, harmful economic systems, conflict, environmental factors, etc. While people in Africa are starving, other countries have too much food. This is a major problem and I believe that everything

The face of conflict within Sub-Saharan Africa has shifted dynamically over the last half-century. The extent of colonial rule left nearly every country on the continent subject to foreign rule, minus Ethiopia. Widespread decolonization movements throughout the continent gained serious momentum from the mid 1950’s on. Unfortunately, once independence was achieved throughout the region, the newfound hope for self-determination, the pathos that the majority of movements were built upon, was but a fleeting

ambitious promises such as eradicating poverty and hunger and achieving universal primary education by 2015. (UN.org) Yet with just a few months away from the deadline this historic chapter will close in tragedy.The setting for this tragic tale is Sub-Saharan Africa where 50 million children and youth still remain out-of-school.Despite extraordinary progress in enrollment stark disparities still remain. Poor children across the region are victims of an insidious “lottery of life” where the family they

exclusion and inequality of countries in terms of the levels of international trade, investment and finance. Not all countries have benefited from the process and there has been a widening gap between the rich and poor for instance countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are not in the picture. Theorist Eric Maskin agrees with this conclusion and suggests that while average income has been rising as a result of more trade and global production, inequality has also increased (World Bank, 2007), by contrast

particularly essential micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron and zinc, it remains an important diet for over 250 million people in Africa. The provision of adequate essential micronutrients is critical to health improvement in Africa, particularly in Sub- Saharan Africa (SSA). All the themes are (to a varying extent) inter-related and synergistic (as summarised in Figure 1, below). All themes will address cross-cutting issues (indicated by the bars across the bottom of the diagram) such as: innovation

than $2- a-day (“Resources, hunger”). This is just one of the many alarming statistics I have found while conducting research on this topic. Children everywhere, especially in rural areas are going through extremely rough times. Regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are among some of the hardest hit population (“Resources, hunger”). Young children, especially girls, are some of the most susceptible because hunger and malnutrition affect their physical and mental development severely (“Resources

is a tremendous issue in Africa through my research in reading articles online. What I didn’t know was that the scale of poverty was so tremendous and that it’s very widespread in the continent. But in my paper, I will be focusing primarily on Sub-Saharan Africa. Before I started this research, I didn’t have much focus on this issue, but after learning this, I became more interested in it. By conducting this research, I want to know exactly how big this problem is. I want to know the potential solutions
