Is this just the development process or are the runors become reality – GOOSOFT or MICROGLE?

Africa & The CDM

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) arrises from the Kyoto agreement and is essentially a mechanism that finances renewable energy projects. As part of the mechanism Designated National Authorities are established as focal points. Looking at the map below of all CDM projects Africa is clearly a looser.

Without South Africa, there are only 5 projects in sub Saharan Africa. The dot in Mali is an error, its a Honduran project.

Africa has 33% percent of the DNAs and manages just 2.5% of the projects!

With all our talk about not wanting handouts and the massive rural energy and sanitation problems, why don’t we perform better? Maybe its because we spend our time enthusing about a one off junk windmill and how it shows how brilliant we are and leave it to the politicians to be a DNA and presumably spend their time strategising & concretising.

Business on SABC

These comments by the presenter were noted on 31/05 & 01/06

• “the GDP increased to 5%”
• commented on the “700 people” on the Civil Servant strike
• later corrected to “that should be 7000″

This is obviously nitpicking in isolation, but what does it say for the competence of the presenter on a reputable business programme and what other errors are we missing?
