Inklusive Bildung in Ghana: Zugänge und Herausforderungen

Inklusion weltweit – aktueller Stand aus Ghana

Dieser Länderbericht verschafft einen Gesamtüberblick zum Thema inklusive Bildung in Ghana. Kinder mit besonderem Förderungsbedarf sind im ghanaischen Bildungssystem vielerlei Herausforderungen ausgesetzt, deren Ursprünge und Auswirkungen gezielt beleuchtet werden. Trotz gewisser Förderungsansätze der Regierung für inklusive Bildung mangelt es weiterhin an der vollständigen Umsetzung dieses Zieles. Das KAS-Büro in Ghana strebt die Förderung von jungen Menschen mit besonderen Bedürfnissen in ihrer zukünftigen Arbeit an. Zuletzt werden Empfehlungen zur Gewährleistung einer inklusiven Bildung im Land, die wesentlich für die Erreichung der 2030 Agenda ist, diskutiert.

What does the withdrawal of the Bundeswehr mean for Mali and the Sahel region?

Less room for manoeuvre for the UN mission MINUSMA and declining stability foreseeable

Due to the ongoing problems with Mali's military government, the German government has decided to withdraw the Bundeswehr from the Sahel country by May 2024 at the latest. But there is discussion about whether Germany's largest foreign mission could end even earlier.

Republic of Moldova: Political and Social Impact One Year after the Start of the War in Ukraine

Leaving Moscow's Sphere of Influence: A Tough Battle

The pro-European reform forces won the elections in Moldova in 2020 and 2021. Since then, they have been trying to extricate the country from Moscow's sphere of influence in times of war in Ukraine and thus under the most difficult conditions imaginable. Receiving EU candidate status in June 2022 was a milestone on this path. But Moscow will not let Moldova go without a fight. Even if it does not currently look like a military confrontation, there are many other means for the Russian leadership to torpedo the small country's reform path towards the EU. But the Republic of Moldova is fighting back.

Russia: Nuclear Dangers and Risks of Escalation

The global security situation is extremely tense. Disputes are hardening and the global conflict between liberal democracies and authoritarian systems is intensifying. The war in Ukraine is not just a war between two former Soviet republics, but a systemic conflict. The assessment of the risks of escalation is a matter of debate. UN Secretary-General António Guterres tells the UN General Assembly in New York: "I fear the world is not sleepwalking into a major war - I fear it is doing so with its eyes wide open". In a speech to both chambers of the Russian parliament on 21 February 2023, Vladimir Putin did fall short of the expectations of Russian hardliners calling for an even more brutal war in Ukraine, not shying away from calls for the use of tactical nuclear weapons. However, Putin announced the unilateral freezing of the "New Start" nuclear disarmament treaty.

Selbstbestimmtes Leben? Die Situation von Menschen mit Behinderungen im Senegal

Inklusion weltweit – aktueller Stand aus dem Senegal

Ca. 6 Prozent der Bevölkerung im Senegal leben mit einem Handicap. Unter anderem sind Landminen eine der Ursachen für Versehrtheit, aber auch Unfälle und die schlechte Gesundheitsvorsorge. Stigmatisierung ist immer noch ein Teil der tief verankerten Vorurteile in der Gesellschaft. Gesetze und Konventionen existieren, aber die Umsetzung ist eine Mammutaufgabe.

Deportation to freedom

Nicaragua remains a state of injustice

Surprisingly for the public, but also for those affected themselves, the Nicaraguan regime released 222 political prisoners to the United States on February 9. However, the supposedly good news has a bitter aftertaste: The deported prisoners were deprived of their citizenship and all the respective rights. In the future, the international community must continue to demand the granting of human rights and a return to democratic processes.

Latin American women fight for their place in party politics

Quotas and quarrels

It was not only at the last CDU party conference that women's quotas were passionately debated. The question of how to achieve an adequate representation of women in the political arena is also driving Latin American parties. This is especially true for centre-right parties, which are looking for their own answers to the clearly audible feminist movements in the region.
