Podcasts about Kenya

Since this episode aired last year, we're still dreaming of a just and representative global order. Catherine Nzuki was joined by Ambassador Martin Kimani, PhD, the Executive Director of New York University's Center on International Cooperation. He was previously the Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations (UN). In this episode, we take a deep dive into Africa's bid for two permanent seats on the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the long road to get there. We discuss how long Africa has been pushing for these seats (3:40); the procedure to create the two permanent seats (7:00); why the process of selecting which African state will occupy those seats could cause infighting (15:20); and two scenarios for how these seats could be distributed (19:40). We zoom out to discuss the deficit of visionary contemporary leaders (30:18); the types of reforms that the African Union needs (34:42); Africa's demographic dividend (36:00); Africa in the G20 (42:30); and finally, reordering global geography in line with Africa's own interests (45:00).

Guest post by Stanley Olisa Half the world still live without access to essential health services. Thats the stark warning from the World Health Organisation. When illness strikes across Africa and Asia, families are forced into impossible choices: pay crippling out-of-pocket costs or go without treatment altogether. For too many, the result is fatal. From pneumonia in Bangladesh to malaria in Kenya and maternal complications in Nigeria, the story is consistent. The poorest are locked out of healthcare systems designed to leave them behind. But a new tech-driven model is starting to change that. A Digital Lifeline Helpster, a global non-profit platform, is leveraging technology to close life-threatening healthcare gaps. Its model is simple but radical: connect vulnerable patients directly with donors, hospitals and volunteers in real time. The goal is to bypass the bottlenecks of traditional aid and get treatment to those who need it most, when they need it most. The platforms data from Africa and Asia reveal just how urgent the crisis is, and how tech innovation can be part of the solution. The Conditions Claiming the Most Lives Pneumonia remains one of the leading killers of children under five in Bangladesh, accounting for 12% of child deaths. In rural Kenya, severe malaria dominates case records, with more than 3.4 million new cases and 11,800 deaths each year. One seven-year-old girl endured three days of fever before Helpster matched her family with a donor. The $109 treatment cost was impossible to cover. Without digital intervention, she would not have survived. In Nigeria, the challenge is even larger. With 68 million malaria cases and 194,000 deaths recorded in 2021 alone, the country accounts for nearly a third of global malaria deaths. Alongside this, obstetric emergencies such as pre-eclampsia and placenta praevia regularly appear in Helpsters case logs. Healthcare at Catastrophic Cost Behind these statistics are families who simply cannot pay. In Bangladesh, rural households earn around $155-175 per month. Treating pneumonia costs $170. A breech delivery can cost $265. In Kenya, severe malaria treatment averages $109, while pneumonia is $133. Just 28% of Kenyans have health insurance, and even then many say it is unaffordable. In Nigeria, treatment for malaria or surgical conditions ranges from ?20,000 ($25) to ?180,000 ($230). Yet fewer than 10% of Nigerians have insurance, leaving 190 million to pay out of pocket. When half of Nigerians earn just ?63,126 ($41) a month, according to 2025 data, these costs are catastrophic. Barriers That Keep Care Out of Reach For families in Bangladesh, Kenya and Nigeria, the obstacles to healthcare are strikingly similar. The first is economic. With households bearing most of the cost, even a basic hospital stay can wipe out a months income. Distance is another barrier. In rural areas, hospitals may be hours away, reached only by dirt roads or unreliable transport. For a mother in labour or a child with a high fever, those delays can be fatal. The shortage of medical staff deepens the crisis. Doctors and nurses cluster in urban centres, while rural facilities operate with skeletal teams. Many who are trained leave for better prospects abroad, draining already fragile systems. Social and cultural factors also hold people back. Women often need permission to seek care, while marginalised groups are treated with suspicion or neglect. And when families finally reach hospitals, corruption and empty drug shelves too often greet them instead of treatment. Digital health services are expanding but the poorest remain excluded, a cruel irony of progress. Scoring Poverty, Prioritising Urgency This is where Helpsters model shows its strength. By applying digital poverty and urgency scores, the platform can prioritise cases based on household income, family size, location and living conditions. In Bangladesh, the average poverty score is 118/250 with an urgency score of 22/26. In Kenya, ...

Stories Among The Stars A Strong Teatime with Miss Liz September 9th 7 pm EST Lance Robinson Topic “Stories Among the Stars: Exploring Humanity, Nature, and the Infinite” Introduction Join Miss Liz for an inspiring Teatime with Lance Robinson, an environmental social scientist, speculative fiction writer, and global nomad whose life and work traverse continents, cultures, and the human spirit. From Ghana to the Gambia, Colombia to Kenya, Lance has spent his life weaving through the experiences of mobile peoples and studying humanity's connection with the natural world. A writer since childhood, he returned to his creative roots after spending years abroad. His speculative fiction now dives into profound questions about our spiritual journeys, our ties to the environment, and our collective place in the universe. Description: Lance Robinson's writing is deeply reflective, exploring how our relationship with nature parallels our personal and spiritual growth. His story, Five Days Until Sunset, blends his love for astronomy with a quest for meaning — asking what it means to find harmony in worlds that both nurture and challenge us. As a sporadic nomad and avid space enthusiast, Lance offers a unique lens through which to examine humanity, faith, and resilience. In this Teatime, Miss Liz and Lance will explore how stories — both real and imagined — help us navigate life's constant evolution, from the Earth beneath our feet to the stars above. Closing Summary: This Teatime with Lance Robinson will be a journey through stories, science, and the soul. His reflections will remind us that whether we are on Earth or dreaming among the stars, our search for connection, balance, and meaning is what makes us human. His work sparks curiosity, hope, and a renewed sense of wonder for the world we share.

Ciudad Juarez au Mexique est considérée comme l'une des villes les plus violentes au monde. Plus de 10 000 assassinats y ont été recensés entre 2007 et 2011. Cela signifie qu'une génération d'enfants, souvent livrés à eux-mêmes, sans aucun repère ni perspectives, n'ont connu que la violence. Un reportage de Louise Kim. Ciudad Juárez s'est développée autour des maquiladoras, des usines à bas coût, qui ont attiré des milliers de travailleurs logés dans de petits appartements sans infrastructures sociales : ni écoles, ni parcs, ni hôpitaux. Les enfants grandissent souvent sans cadre parental, encadrés par des adultes extérieurs à leur famille, ce qui les expose très tôt au tabac, à l'alcool et aux stupéfiants. La combinaison de longues heures de travail pour les parents et de l'absence de protection conduit de nombreux adolescents à entrer en contact avec le crime organisé, où ils se sentent valorisés et intégrés, mais souvent au prix de la violence et de la criminalité. La situation se complique avec la violence sexuelle, qui touche des centaines d'enfants chaque année, souvent dans un climat d'impunité et de complicité institutionnelle. Selon les experts, les enfants qui dénoncent ces abus doivent surmonter une autre difficulté : être pris en charge les autorités. Pour ceux qui sortent des centres de détention, les perspectives de réinsertion sont quasi nulles. Ciudad Juárez, bien qu'emblématique par son histoire et l'apparition du terme « féminicide », illustre une problématique bien plus large où la négligence des institutions et la violence sociale alimentent un cycle de vulnérabilisation des enfants. Le projet d'une nouvelle force de sécurité capable de lutter contre les gangs en Haïti commenté par la presse américaine « C'est un espoir pour Haïti », estime le Washington Post. Contrairement à la force de sécurité actuelle menée par le Kenya, surtout composée de policiers, la force antigang proposée serait plus large, dotée du pouvoir d'arrêter et mandatée pour agir de façon indépendante, sans la police haïtienne. Mais au-delà des raisons humanitaires, rétablir l'ordre, contenir la violence des gangs et éviter l'effondrement de l'État est un enjeu vital pour les États-Unis. Les gangs haïtiens sont passés de groupes locaux à des organisations criminelles transnationales, acheminant drogue vers les États-Unis et ramenant des armes en Haïti, souligne le Washington Post. Le Miami Herald de son côté pointe une contradiction dans le projet américain. Alors que Washington affiche son intention de stabiliser Haïti, il cherche aussi à réduire des milliards de dollars d'aide étrangère, y compris des millions destinés aux missions de maintien de la paix de l'ONU. Les observateurs s'interrogent donc : les États-Unis sont-ils vraiment prêts à s'engager pour stabiliser Haïti ? Brésil : en attendant le verdict dans le procès de Jair Bolsonaro, accusé de tentative de coup d'État Les juges de la Cour suprême commencent à voter à partir de ce mardi, pour condamner ou acquitter l'ancien dirigeant d'extrême droite. Selon Folha de São Paulo, l'entourage de Jair Bolsonaro estime qu'une condamnation est probable et que la stratégie consiste désormais à éviter qu'il purge sa peine en prison. Parallèlement, Carta Capital s'intéresse à Michelle Bolsonaro, l'ex-première dame, que certains médias brésiliens voient déjà comme une possible candidate à la succession de son mari. Ce qui distingue Michelle Bolsonaro, explique le journal, n'est pas le degré d'extrémisme mais le style : alors que l'ex-président affichait brutalité et cruauté explicites, défendant la torture et se moquant des victimes du Covid, Michelle incarne la femme pieuse et compatissante, guidée par de profondes convictions religieuses. Elle alterne entre le ton plaintif de la victime et un discours enflammé mais adouci de prédicatrice. Sa violence, estime Carta Capital, ne se trouve pas dans la forme mais dans le contenu : pour elle, ses adversaires ont conclu « un pacte avec le démon », et la politique est une guerre spirituelle entre le bien et le mal absolus. Le journal conclut qu'il est difficile d'imaginer quelque chose de plus autoritaire et intolérant — de quoi faire pâlir d'envie les talibans.   Le Nicaragua veut coopérer avec les régions ukrainiennes occupées par la Russie Le régime nicaraguayen renforce les pouvoirs de Laureano Ortega Murillo, fils du couple présidentiel Daniel Ortega et Rosario Murillo. Selon La Prensa, un décret présidentiel lui confère la capacité de signer des « accords de coopération commerciale et économique » avec les régions ukrainiennes de Donetsk, Louhansk, Kherson et Zaporijia, territoires reconnus en juillet par le Nicaragua comme faisant partie de la Russie. Cette décision a provoqué l'ire de l'Ukraine et constitue, selon le journal, une violation flagrante du droit international et des résolutions de l'ONU, qui interdisent la reconnaissance de territoires acquis par la force et protègent l'intégrité territoriale des États.   Journal de la 1ère Colère des agriculteurs en Guadeloupe : la filière banane perd 500 000 euros de subventions par an au profit de la diversification agricole en Martinique.

Le deuxième Sommet africain sur le climat s'ouvre lundi 8 septembre à Addis-Abeba, où 45 chefs d'État et 25 000 délégués sont attendus pour cet évènement porté par les Nations Unies, l'Union africaine et l'Éthiopie. Celle-ci vient d'ailleurs de présenter sa candidature pour organiser le COP en 2027. L'un des objectifs du sommet de deux jours est de présenter les solutions concrètes en faveur du climat pour le continent africain, d'unifier aussi la voix des États en vue de la COP qui se tiendra en novembre au Brésil. La sénégalaise Aïssatou Diouf Notre invitée est une militante et une référence en Afrique pour les questions environnementales et responsable des politiques internationales et du plaidoyer au sein de l'ONG ENDA Énergie. Elle répond à Guillaume Thibault. RFI : Aïssatou Diouf, pourquoi ce 2ᵉ sommet africain est capital ? L'enjeu pour le continent, c'est à la fois de prendre le train en marche, mais surtout de parler d'une seule voix ? La Semaine africaine du climat est une plateforme stratégique pour l'Afrique, car elle permet aux pays, à la société civile et même au secteur privé de parler d'une seule voix, de défendre nos priorités face aux négociations mondiales. C'est donc le moment de démontrer que le climat peut être un levier de développement et d'emploi pour le continent. Donc, ce sommet va aligner les efforts des pays africains et surtout catalyser des actions concrètes, notamment sur les enjeux que j'ai cités précédemment. Quel message vous tirez du premier sommet qui s'est tenu il y a deux ans au Kenya, à Nairobi ? Les financements promis lors de ce sommet tardent à arriver et surtout, la mise en œuvre sur le terrain est encore très insuffisante. C'est pourquoi, à mon avis, cette édition doit aller beaucoup plus loin pour que les populations africaines voient réellement les bénéfices et les intérêts de ces sommets. Vous attendez beaucoup des discussions sur les questions de transition énergétique. Pour quelle raison est-ce essentiel ? Vous savez, la transition énergétique est un enjeu vital. Nous avons encore plus de 600 millions de personnes sans accès à l'électricité. Donc le défi, il est double. Premièrement, c'est répondre à cette urgence sociale tout en réduisant notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Mais également, on sait tous que l'Afrique doit l'aborder aussi comme une opportunité de développement en misant sur ses immenses ressources en solaire, en éolien, en hydraulique. Rappeler également que cette transition doit être juste. Le mot juste a tout son intérêt. Ça doit guider ce processus, cette transition-là. Donc, elle ne peut pas reposer uniquement sur nos budgets nationaux qui sont déjà très contraints. Donc, cela appelle à une solidarité internationale entre les pays du Nord et les pays du Sud. L'argent reste le nerf de la guerre. Dans un récent rapport, les Nations unies indiquent que 2 000 milliards de dollars ont été investis juste l'année dernière, en 2024, dans les énergies propres, mais que le continent africain n'a quasiment rien touché. Pourquoi l'Afrique reste à la marge. Donc, ce qu'il faut aujourd'hui, c'est à l'échelle internationale, réfléchir sur les mécanismes qui sont adaptés aux réalités du continent, amener aujourd'hui les banques de développement à avoir des mécanismes appropriés pour financer cette transition énergétique, le développement des énergies renouvelables et qu'enfin les pays développés respectent leurs engagements financiers. À lire aussiSommet africain sur le climat: le continent se veut source d'innovation et de solution Est-ce que vous imaginez parfois un système de sanctions pour tous ces pays qui promettent des financements, mais qui au final ne les versent jamais ? Maintenant, on sait comment le système onusien est organisé et structuré. Il est très difficile aujourd'hui de sanctionner ces États-là. Par contre, aujourd'hui, on sait que les citoyens constituent une force incontournable qui demande de la redevabilité à leurs Etats. Je pense qu'on peut s'appuyer sur ces citoyens là pour demander aux Etats de rendre compte, mais surtout aux Etats, de respecter leurs engagements. Est-ce qu'aujourd'hui, on pourrait imaginer ou c'est une utopie ? Les Etats Unis d'Afrique du climat ? Pourquoi est-ce que les Etats ont tant de difficultés à s'accorder, à avoir un vrai impact sur des discussions ou sur des négociations, notamment lors des COP ? Je pense qu'on va tendre vers cela. On n'a pas le choix. Si aujourd'hui l'Afrique veut impacter au niveau des discussions à l'échelle internationale, on doit parler d'une seule et même voix. On doit avoir des positions coordonnées portées par nos leaders politiques. Pourquoi est-il difficile d'avoir ce travail de coordination ? On n'a pas tous le même niveau de développement. Ce sont des aspects également géopolitiques où chaque Etat essaie de se positionner. Un pays, par exemple, qui découvre le pétrole et le gaz, va vouloir forcément l'exploiter, alors que les impacts du réchauffement climatique sont là. Il faudrait qu'à l'échelle de l'Union africaine, que nous arrivions à avoir des politiques au niveau continental très coordonnées, qui puissent impacter durablement nos communautés, mais également qu'au niveau international, dans les débats et dans les discussions, que nous puissions peser. Est-ce que la COP 30 qui va se tenir au mois de novembre au Brésil, Je pense qu'il y a beaucoup de pays africains qui sont sortis très déçus de la COP de l'année dernière à Bakou. Cette COP qui se tient en terre brésilienne, plus précisément en terre amazonienne, c'est une symbolique fort pour les pays en développement, notamment la question des forêts, la question de la taxe carbone et j'espère que les conclusions qui seront issues de la Semaine africaine du climat vont être portées par nos décideurs politiques pour pouvoir impacter les conclusions de la COP de Belem.

L'Éthiopie inaugure aujourd'hui son mégabarrage avec plusieurs années de retard. Le barrage de la Renaissance qui a coûté plusieurs milliards de dollars, auto-financé, a une capacité de production de 5 000 mégawatts. C'est le plus puissant du continent, ce qui fait espérer un développement de l'électrification dans le pays, mais également des revenus importants pour l'État. Abiy Ahmed, dans une interview télévisée la semaine dernière, a déclaré qu'il pourrait rapporter 1 milliard de dollars annuel à l'économie du pays. Une déclaration qui a attiré l'attention des observateurs. Biruk Heregu est enseignant-chercheur spécialiste des questions politiques et économiques éthiopiennes : « Savoir combien ces exportations vont permettre de rapporter de devises étrangères est incertain. Par exemple, l'autorité en charge de l'électricité en Éthiopie a établi des prévisions selon lesquelles, pour la dernière année fiscale, les exportations d'électricité ont rapporté environ 100 millions de dollars. Pour l'année fiscale en cours, les estimations sont d'environ 118 millions, et pour celle à venir, elles prévoient des revenus d'environ 300 millions de dollars. » Selon la communication officielle, seul le surplus de production devrait être exporté. Mais pour Tsegay Tekleselassie, économiste au Wellesley College à Boston, il est probable que les autorités se concentrent sur les exportations. Du courant éthiopien part déjà vers le Kenya, Djibouti, le Soudan et depuis peu la Tanzanie. Addis-Abeba affiche d'ailleurs sa volonté de faire de l'Éthiopie un hub énergétique en Afrique. « L'Éthiopie présente un très grand déficit en offre d'électricité. Environ 40 % des Éthiopiens n'ont pas accès au courant, et ceux connectés ont des problèmes de coupures », analyse l'économiste. Il y a donc une forte demande non satisfaite. « Malgré cela, l'Éthiopie aspire à exporter vers les pays voisins parce qu'elle a vraiment besoin de devises étrangères. De plus, en fournissant ses voisins, cela donne à l'Éthiopie un certain pouvoir de négociation politique », poursuit Tsegay Tekleselassie. Fiabilité des données ? 1 milliard de dollars, un montant sans doute surévalué qui pose une nouvelle fois la question de la fiabilité des statistiques en Éthiopie met en exergue Biruk Heregu : « L'un des défis auxquels le régime d'Abiy Ahmed a été confronté ces dernières années concerne les questions relatives aux données économiques. Les statistiques économiques ont fait l'objet d'un examen minutieux et d'une remise en question, non seulement de la part d'experts éthiopiens et étrangers, mais aussi des institutions comme la Banque mondiale qui ont commencé à remettre en question les données économiques émanant de ce régime. » Si Addis-Abeba se dote ainsi d'une importante capacité de production, les experts s'accordent pour dire que la situation ne devrait pas changer de manière radicale pour les Éthiopiens dans l'immédiat. Le réseau national vétuste nécessite de gros investissements afin de distribuer le courant produit.

There's something powerful about presence. Just showing up changes lives — and not just the lives of others, but our own.Six years ago, I met Jesus in the dump in Mexico City through a woman named Olga, who showed me the radical love and heart of God. That moment forever shifted how I see presence.These past few weeks, I've been reminded again. I met Jesus in Gwassi, Kenya, at an orphanage while playing, praying, and laughing with children. I met Him again in Vijayawada, India, where children rescued from human trafficking filled my heart with joy as we danced, sang, and shared in the classroom. Their faces reflected the love of Christ.In Kolkata, I walked with the Missionaries of Charity and visited Mother Teresa's center for lepers — the poorest of the poor, the forgotten, the dying — and yet, even there, presence shines bright.This is what Jesus did for us: He showed up. God loves you. He calls you by name. And sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is just be present.#Podcast #Faith #Jesus #GodsLove #BePresent #Mission #ServeOthers #Hope #Joy #LoveInAction #InspiredByFaith #MotherTeresa #Kenya #India #MexicoCity #ChildOfGod #ef3life #lifetothefullest #faith #hope #love #god

The Kenyan government is under mounting pressure from the United States over its close ties with China. Influential lawmakers in Washington are furious over comments made by President William Ruto during a visit to Beijing earlier this year, where he said Kenya and China will be the "architects of a new world order." The remark was particularly upsetting for some in Washington, given Kenya's role as a Major Non-NATO Ally. Aggrey Mutambo, Africa editor at the Nation newspaper, joins Eric & Cobus from Nairobi to discuss how the Kenyan government is responding and what it's doing to maintain stable ties with both major powers.

Like what you hear? Support us at patreon.com/bionicplanet. Today's guest, Blue Carbon Pioneer James Kairo, brings us into the fascinating world of mangroves and their immense economic and ecological value. Our journey begins with a brief overview of mangroves, which, despite covering only 0.01% of the sea surface and just 1% of Kenya's land area, play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and coastal protection. I had the privilege of recording this episode on location at the world's first blue carbon project, Makoko Pomoja in Gazi Bay, Kenya. This project not only aims to restore degraded coastal areas but also emphasizes the importance of education and community engagement in conservation efforts. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Kairo highlights the multifaceted benefits of mangroves, including their role in shoreline protection, habitat provision for marine life, and their capacity to capture and store carbon dioxide. He explains how mangroves can sequester carbon at rates significantly higher than terrestrial forests due to their unique growing conditions in anoxic environments. We also discuss the challenges faced by mangrove ecosystems, particularly the pressures of climate change, over-exploitation for wood, and the impacts of shrimp aquaculture. Dr. Kairo emphasizes the need for innovative solutions that allow communities to benefit from mangroves without degrading them. This includes alternative livelihoods such as ecotourism and sustainable fishing practices. As we explore the concept of blue carbon, we touch on the importance of scientific research and data collection in demonstrating the value of mangroves. Dr. Kairo shares insights into the methodologies used to measure carbon sequestration and the significance of community involvement in carbon trading initiatives. In addition to Dr. Kairo, we are joined by Basco Juma, a Kenyan social entrepreneur and founder of the NGO Big Ship, who shares his experiences in promoting sustainable practices and community engagement in mangrove conservation. Together, they illustrate the collaborative efforts required to protect these vital ecosystems and the potential for scaling similar projects in other regions. As we wrap up the episode, we reflect on the broader implications of blue carbon initiatives for climate change mitigation and the importance of integrating local knowledge and community needs into conservation strategies. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role that mangroves play in our environment and the urgent need to protect them for future generations. Join us as we embark on this enlightening exploration of mangroves, blue carbon, and the innovative solutions being implemented to safeguard our planet's coastal ecosystems.

Time flies when you're having fun—and that couldn't be truer for Kenya, who has already spent her first four weeks in her new home.In this episode, we discuss how Kenya is settling in, transforming from a polite wanderer into a bold explorer.

Do you ever feel like you're chasing status, promotions, or recognition only to arrive and still feel unfulfilled? What if leadership wasn't about control, but about creative direction and truly designing a life and career that excites you?   In this inspiring episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen sits down with Vincent Wanga, dynamic design thought leader, brand strategist, creative executive, and author of The Art of Direction.
