## Quotes

* By sharing our experiences, successes, challenges and by speaking with one voice, not only will we learn from one another but will be heard by others. Together, we must create a resilient future for Africa that safeguards our environment, supports our communities, and that drives sustainable development and climate action.
* It is a privilege to join you today. Let me start by congratulating the World Meteorological Organization for launch the fifth series of the Annual Report on the State of the Climate in Africa, with contributions from the African Union Commission, the Africa Development Bank, Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) and other partners.
* The ECA is pleased to have also contributed to this robust report that offers a comprehensive overview of our climate situation, making it easier to identify trends and challenges, policy opportunities for action and innovative solutions to mitigate the climate crisis that profoundly affects our continent.
* Africa is on the front lines of fighting climate change and is impacts; from rising temperatures to shifting rainfall patterns, and other extreme weather events. As a consequence, key sectors like the agricultural sector, which employs over 60% of Africa’s population, is under threat. Crops are failing, and livestock is suffering as climate variability disrupts traditional farming practices, jeopardizes food supply and economic stability of nations, who are already grappling with high poverty and levels.
* Through the report, policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders are provided with essential data and analysis to help them make informed decisions and to act swiftly and effectively. It presents vital information on climate indicators, impact assessments, adaptation strategies, and policy considerations, creating a centralized resource to guide national and regional initiatives. With accurate and timely information, we can develop targeted policies that address the specific needs of our communities.
# John Winthrop

John Winthrop (12 January 1587/1588–26 March 1649) was a Puritan lawyer who led the first large wave of immigrants from England into the New World on the ship Arbella. He was a major contributor to the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629, envisioning it as a "city upon a hill". He was the third governor of the colony. Winthrop was extremely religious, and a fervent subscriber to the Puritan belief that the Anglican Church had to be cleansed of Catholic ritual. He played a role in the banishment of Anne Hutchinson from the Massachusetts Bay Colony as the primary prosecutor and judge.

## Quotes

* For we must consider that we shall be a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world.
** A Model of Christian Charity, a sermon delivered onboard the Arbella (1630)
* We must delight in each other, make other's conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body.

# Four Noble Truths

The Four Noble Truths are the Essence of Gautama Buddha's Teachings, which say that suffering is caused by ignorance, and can be overcome by following these teachings.

## Quotes

* 1. Dukkha: Suffering exists: Life is suffering. Suffering is real and almost universal. Suffering has many causes: loss, sickness, pain, failure, and the impermanence of pleasure.
* 2. Samudaya: There is a cause of suffering. Suffering is due to attachment. It is the desire to have and control things. It can take many forms: craving of sensual pleasures; the desire for fame; the desire to avoid unpleasant sensations, like fear, anger or jealousy.
* 3. Nirodha: There is an end to suffering. Attachment can be overcome. Suffering ceases with the final liberation of Nirvana (Nibbana). The mind experiences complete freedom, liberation and non-attachment. It lets go of any desire or craving.
* 4. Magga: In order to end suffering, follow the Eightfold Path

## Quotes

* A bigger problem is the value of research to society, especially to the communities from which the data is collected. Because research is conceptualized without input from African researchers and other stakeholders, it ends up being of academic value only, without taking into account how the results could help shape policy and practice.
* In addition, the fact that we are an independent research institution, rather than a government-run organisation, makes it harder to forge and maintain long-term relationships with policy makers, especially those in government.
* am affected by the dysfunction in the global health system whereby problems and their solutions are defined by ‘experts’, who don’t have any lived experiences and who have a poor understanding of the local context.
* The reason why inequalities persist is because we pay lip service to equity. The sustainable development goals (SDG) framework and its various instruments have equity as a key feature. As a result, equity is prominent in global commitments and national health policy framework – but only on paper.
* As a researcher, it is much more difficult to make a case as to why certain areas are worth addressing, when the global health community is focused largely on the few pet issues that are deemed worth funding and investigating
* The gratification from healing someone’s pain or saving a life of someone near death is indescribable. Having said that, Africa needs scientists, tens of thousands of scientists that can help in identifying the problems that cause ill health among the continent’s people, and lasting solutions to those problems.

## Quotes

* A large number of programs of the Church in Africa still depend largely on the conditions of the donors. This state effectively threatens the autonomy and propriety on one hand, on the other there is the threat of putting into place projects or structures that are not right for the local Church and recipients. For this, mutual trust and understanding by both parties is necessary in order to avoid tainted gifts.

Many proverbs express and show these statements. From this value of fihavanana, theological reflection on truths of the Christian revelation has been done with adjustments, purification and the necessary overcoming.
** Archbishop Armand RAZAFINDRATANDRA, Archbishop of Antanarivo, Madagascar (1994) The African Synod
* The new Pontiff, as he has said himself, will act in continuity with his predecessor Pope John Paul II, that is, he will continue along the path of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, the implementation of Vatican II, the search for peace and security for all. The latter is particularly dear to the hearts of Africans, victims of decades of war for which the international community finds it hard to provide suitable solutions.

## Quotes

* Our communion with the universal Church is fundamental but it is not a real communion without uniting our differences. We promote a "communion in diversity". What is important is for our experiences to be recognised and respected. The Bishops personally and in collegiality know how to understand in the culture of Madagascar what is compatible with the Gospel. Moreover we want our local Church to bring to Catholicism the graces of her witness.

## Quotes

* I felt like we were accomplices in this war of sorts. People say we do not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends. I did not want to accept that it was beyond hope.’
* I would often see women who had had four or more Caesarean sections with no living child – they continued exposing themselves to the danger until they had a baby,’
* It’s been called the ‘silent killer’ because many women cannot feel the danger sign that their blood pressure is rising until it’s too late.

* The challenge is you might not be funded to do everything they ask you to do, but sometimes you find things that are easy to integrate without necessarily spending much.
