Partnership for Success
Cassava Mosaic Disease and Cassava Brown Streak Disease have devastated the food security and income of millions of cassava-dependent farm families. The Great Lakes Cassava Initiative (GLCI), managed by CRS and supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was developed to respond to the crisis. GLCI operates in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda with the goal of distributing healthy cassava planting material of farmer-accepted disease-tolerant varieties to 1.15 million farm families to alleviate food insecurity and increase incomes. The initiative is a multi-dimensional project that includes a combination of research and development activities. Research activities include studies to improve disease control through improved varieties and quality management, as well as the development of a diagnostic tool for CBSD. Other activities include building capacity among national agriculture research and development partners, strengthening farmer group development, and conducting multiplication and dissemination of planting material.--From the CRS web site.
Representations of Black Women in the Media
In 1920 W.E.B. Du Bois cited the damnation of women as linked to the devaluation of motherhood. This dilemma, he argues, had a crushing blow on Black women as they were forced into slavery. Black womanhood, portrayed as hypersexual by nature, became an enduring stereotype which did not coincide with the dignity of mother and wife. This portrayal continues to reinforce negative stereotypes of Black women in the media today. This book highlights how Black women have been negatively portrayed in the media, focusing on the export nature of media and its ability to convey notions of Blackness to the public. It argues that media such as rap music videos, television dramas, reality television shows, and newscasts create and affect expectations of Black women. Exploring the role that racism, misogyny and media play in the representation of Black womanhood, it provides a foundation for challenging contemporary media’s portrayal of Black women.
