NGOs promote education in Sawla - Tunu - Kalda District

NGOs have instituted measures including the Complementary Education Programme (CEP) to assist children aged between eight and 14 in the Sawla - Tunu - Kalda District of the Northern Region, to help them read and write in their mother tongue, as well as in the study of numeracy.

A baseline survey conducted in 2005, which revealed that 45,000 children in the district were out of school thereby compounding the high illiteracy rate in the newly created district.

In this regard, the organizations have organized week - long skills building training workshop to equip 27 CEP facilitators in the district to offer participants new teaching methodology skills and ideas, as well as mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in the CEP programme.

Zimbabwe elections not free and fair

A campaign of violence in Zimbabwe has extinguished any hope of free and fair run off presidential elections, Human Rights watch has warned.
In a new report, the New - York based group said it had extensive evidence linking senior officials loyal to Robert Mugabe with violence incidents.

The report said torture camps has been run by President Mugabe's governing ZANU - PF party and its allies.

Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai faces Mr. Mugabe in June 27 vote.
The Human Right Watch report said violence against supporters of Mr. Tsvangirai Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) had worsened in the lead up of the run - off.

'' Zimbabwe can't vote freely if they fear their vote may get them killed'', said Georgette Gagnon, Africa Director at Human Right Watch.

The much - delayed results from the first round in March showed Mr Tsvangirai ahead, but not by enough to win outright.

Mr Mugabe is widely accused of economic mismanagement, resulting in a runaway inflation, soaring unemployment and the decline of Zimbabwe's agricultural sector.

Mr Mugabe blames former colonial power Britain and its Western allies for the crisis.

A test conducted by Kosmos Energy of the United States of America (USA) in the Jubilee Well in the Tano Basin yesterday flared 5,000 barrels of oil.

The successful test run yesterday cleared any doubts about abundant oil reserves in Ghana and it will pave the way for commercial productions of the black gold in the country.

Briefing President J.A Kuffour at the Castle, Osu, yesterday on the result of the test run, Mr. Jim Mosselman, the Chief Executive Officer of Kosmos, said, "Today is, indeed, a glorious day for Kosmos and Ghana.

The significant oil find and the prospect of commercial exploitation of the product are occurring at the same time of soaring oil and food prices on the world market, a situation which is causing a lot of ripples in the economies of developing countries such as Ghana.

Responding, President Kuffour, who was apparently excited, said he so far impressed with the transparency with which the Kosmos was conducting its operations and also the relationship between the company and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.
