Encouraged by this progress, Dr. Indrawati said that the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, are ready to provide expertise to develop important sectors including the DRC’s agro-industrial parks, as Prime Minister Matata Ponyo explained the government’s proposal to expand the number of sites in the country from 22 to 26. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">She noted that such investments will help reduce threshold costs that otherwise might deter the engagement of private sector investors. Dr. Indrawati also recommended that the DRC devote more resources to the development of human capital, especially in the health and education sectors.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“There is tremendous potential for this country to grow,” said Dr. Indrawati. “The agro-industrial park project represents an even greater potential because it addresses another sector, agriculture, upon which the vast majority of the population depends.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“I’m greatly encouraged by the productive conversations we have held with Dr. Indrawati over the last few days. It is clear that both the World Bank Group and the DRC are committed to expanding our efforts to bring positive reform and structural change that will enhance the lives of the Congolese people, and create an attractive investment environment for international partners,” said DRC Minister of Finance Henri Yav Mulang. “I look forward to continuing our productive relationship, and thank her for the support she has shown for the people of the Congo.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">At stops in Kinshasa and Goma, Dr. Indrawati noted how certain initiatives like the reform of state-owned enterprises will help increase economic activities, create wealth and reduce poverty. In this regard, she explained that where there is prosperity, there are fewer opportunities for the emergence of armed groups or armed conflicts.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The visit by Dr. Indrawati further deepens the partnership between The World Bank Group and the DRC, as the World Bank Group’s existing portfolio in the country includes 25 current projects amounting to US$3.5 billion, including two regional projects totaling US$1.14 billion. Projects supported range from improvements to infrastructure, public finance management, public enterprise reform, improvements to health and education infrastructure, national parks and forest management, agriculture and more.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of the Ministry of Finance, Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).</span></div> </div>

This was a fitting tribute to an extensive research process, providing African farmers with a solution to improve livestock production whilst taking into account consumer health needs.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Alex Mwaura Muriu of Kenya won Second Prize, and South African, Lesley Erica Scott was awarded the Special Prize for Social Impact, receiving US$25 000 respectively.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">A jubilant Remmal impressed the expert panel of judges, competing with 10 excellent African innovations spanning the health, environment, technology and agricultural sectors. His innovation, a patented alternative to livestock anti-biotics is set to transform the broader medical and agricultural sector in Africa. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The natural innovative anti-microbial formula reduces health hazards in livestock, preventing the transmission of multi-resistant germs and carcinogens to human beings through consumption of milk, eggs and meat. Says Remmal: “My innovation provides farmers with solutions to improve their production; it is cost effective and can be easily adopted, giving farmers increased benefits without the side effects of anti-biotics.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Murui, a Kenyan entrepreneur, developed a system to meet the perennial challenge faced by African farmers in accessing capital to finance planting and harvesting by providing an alternative from the burden of financial loans through his Farm Capital Africa project.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Today, TB is second only to HIV and AIDS as a leading cause of death in the continent. Using the Smartspot TBCheck, Scott, a South African scientist, has developed an effective World Health Organization (WHO) approved calibration method for TB diagnostic machines.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Innovation is a national priority in Morocco, one of the countries leading the innovation frontier in Africa – a strategic location for IPA 2015, and well known for hosting other successful events such as the Global Entrepreneurship Summit. In his welcome remarks, Moroccan Minister of Trade, Industry, Investment and the Digital Economy, Mr Moulay Hafid Elalamy emphasized: “Innovation and development, as well as technological innovations must be leveraged for the continent, given that these are major value creations and key ingredients for competitiveness”.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Since its inaugural launch in 2011, IPA has attracted some 3000 applications from 49 African countries. Jean Claude Bastos de Morais, AIF Founder and the brainchild of the Prize, now in its fourth edition, is pleased with the level of innovations this year - a total of 925 applications from 41 countries. Commenting on the role of IPA in fostering innovation in Africa, Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais said:</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“I am truly impressed with this year’s winning innovations, which have once again surpassed expectations. At the same time, I am aware that the buck cannot stop here. Let us put it this way; no matter how high a bird flies, it always needs a nest, a base to come back to. African innovators are taking flight, their innovative ideas are increasingly proving to be transformative - not only for Africa - but for the world. Through the IPA, the AIF is fostering the development of robust innovation ecosystems, which are essentially nests for African entrepreneurs and innovators to develop solutions for African challenges”. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">African innovators continue to provide more innovative African solutions to address African problems. This year’s winners have a common theme: their innovations highlight the vital and crucial need to respond directly to demanding community needs - the heart of the AIF mandate. The innovations further demonstrate great potential to change the course of history in Africans’ responses to health, technology, enterprise and the agricultural sector, prioritizing needs-based responses through cost effective means – a critical tool for sustainable development.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The IPA 2015 Awards ceremony was attended by more than 400 people that included high level African dignitaries, ministers, ambassadors, AIF partners, past IPA winners, venture capitalists, innovators, entrepreneurs, local and international media, and young people. The AIF believes that young people (below age 35) are the epi-center of the African innovation ecosystem as they represent 65% of Africa’s 1.1 billion population.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">For the first time this year, all nominees received recognition through a US$5 000 voucher as a support fund to boost their different innovations in their home countries.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The IPA 2015 Awards ceremony was compered by Lerato Mbele of BBC Africa Business Report fame. Youssour N’Dour, the Senegalese musical legend provided first class entertainment, backed by Bob Maghrib, a Moroccan ensemble, with popular Bob Marley renditions.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">IPA associated events prior to the Awards ceremony included a Press Conference, an Innovation Marketplace showcasing Moroccan home-grown talents, and an Ideas Machine workshop focusing on unleashing innovation talent in young Africans.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of the African Innovation Foundation (AIF).</span></div> </div>

Operations at the new warehouse are scheduled to start today. Motivated employees, a new working environment, and a high-tech warehouse: all the ingredients to maintain JUMIA’s success are there.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Almost two years after JUMIA placed the daring bet to revolutionize shopping habits in Côte d’Ivoire, e-commerce has resolutely become synonymous with the company’s name. The online shopping mall steadily continues to expand in such way that, the capacity of its former warehouse has been exceeded. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">JUMIA’s new warehouse comprises a storage capacity of 2000m2 situated in the neighborhood of Koumassi, with all the technology and facilities necessary to the implementation of a multichannel logistics strategy. Being part of the expansion plan that led the company to increase its human capital by 7 and double its deliveries, this recent move is intended to further enhance the quality of the delivery experience.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">500,000 monthly unique visitors, an assortment of over 50,000 products, 20 categories, 1000 orders fulfilled daily; these are comforting figures. In 2014, JUMIA Côte d’Ivoire recorded a monthly sales growth of 14% only in the Fashion category.

Moreover, a plethora of products have been exclusively introduced by JUMIA for the first time on the Ivorian market these last months: Infinix, Innjoo, refurbished Apple. Before long, ranges of the famous beauty brand Dark and Lovely from L’Oreal will be available at very competitive prices for the enthusiastic e-shoppers. Finally, a dedicated B2B service was recently set up to answer the needs of businesses and professionals. JUMIA Côte d’Ivoire is definitely everywhere.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">It is thus to support this growth and honor the promise to deliver any item ordered on its website anywhere in the country within 5 days, that JUMIA Côte d’Ivoire is shifting its entire warehouse to a new one arranged to take up the incumbent logistics challenges. High level of service, high inventory availability, supply and return management, the new warehouse is designed for the sole purpose to satisfy more efficiently an outgrowing customer base as well as partners and suppliers.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">With the shift, it’s around 100 employees who will be relocated to the new site enabling the effective start of operations today.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Jumia.</span></div> </div>

Hosted by the Pan African Federation of Accountants (PAFA) and the Mauritius Institute of Professional Accountants (MIPA), the conference will run from 12-14 May at Swami Vivekananda International Convention Centre. Examining the theme Rising Africa: Partnering for Results, delegates will explore the role of chartered accountants in delivering long term sustainable economic success across Africa. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">ICAEW will urge fellow national accountancy bodies to act as advocates for international accounting standards and best practice - in order to stabilise public finances and create a climate that attracts investment. Drawing on experience in the United Kingdom and international partnership projects, Armstrong and Hegarty will present the results of ICAEW's work on delivering public finances that can be trusted, as well as the results of the first year of the ICAEW project Dialogue in Corporate Governance, which is exploring how the profession can spearhead this area.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Hegarty said: "So far, ICAEW has worked in partnership with bodies in seven African countries to deliver capacity building projects. A robust accountancy profession serves the public interest; promotes investment, safeguards sound financial management by governments and helps develop more resilient businesses. It can increase social mobility by offering opportunities to talented young people - whatever their background. ICAEW firmly believes that by supporting strong national bodies we are helping to set the foundations for sustainable economic growth, and we are delighted to be here at ACOA to share and investigate real solutions with our fellow bodies in Africa."</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">As part of the Conference, ICAEW will also be renewing its Memorandum of Understanding with the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). The two bodies have pledged to work together to strengthen the accountancy profession in Kenya, forging a deeper relationship between the two institutes, and opening up a route to providing recognition to each other's members. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Michael Armstrong, Regional Director, ICAEW Middle East, Africa and South Asia, said: "We are delighted to be strengthening the relationship between our two organisations. Like ICAEW, ICPAK has shown a dedication to the development and support of the accountancy profession in Kenya, helping demonstrate the key role its members play in national economic growth and prosperity. This agreement also recognises the rigour and evolution of our respective qualifications. We look forward to working together to help further support the accountancy profession across Africa."</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by African Media Agency on behalf of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).</span></div> </div>

Aboud ambaye Ofisi yake ndiyo inayohusika na maafa, amesema tayari wameshawasiliana na Wakuu wa Wilaya ili kufanya tathmini na kuweza kuwahudumia waathirika hao ambapo kipaumbele kitatolewa kwa wale waliokosa makaazi kabisa.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Mapema Mkuu wa Idara ya kazi, ujenzi na mazingira kutoka Baraza la Manispaa la Zanzibar Bw. Mzee Khamis pamoja na Mkurugenzi Idara ya Ujenzi Bw. Ramadhan Mussa Bakar, wamekiri kuwa athari za mvua hizo zimetokana na matatizo ya mitaro katika maeneo hayo.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Wameeleza kuwa tayari upo mpango wa kuyafanyia utafiti maeneo na mitaro katika manispaa ya Zanzibar ili waweze kuirekebisha na kupunguza athari hizo.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Wamesema athari hizo zinaweza kuondoka iwapo mitaro ya uhakika inayopeleka maji baharini itajengwa na kutunzwa.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Hata hivyo wataalamu hao wa ujenzi, wamewashauri wananchi kujenga utamaduni wa kutupa taka katika maeneo yaliyotengwa kwa kazi hiyo, na kuacha kutupa taka hizo kwenye mitaro, jambo ambalo hupelekea mitaro hiyo kuziba mara kwa mara na kusababisha mafuriko.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Sheha wa shehia ya Jang’ombe Bw.
