Refrigeration, the African way

She grows tomatoes, okra, carrots, and rocket lettuce, and also has small orchard of guava trees. In the hot weather of Darfur, Hawa used to lose half of the crops she hoped to sell each day in the market of Al Fashir, the capital city of North Darfur, because of inadequate storage facilities — and no electricity or refrigerator — in her small canteen, the shed made out of wood and palm leaves in which she displays her products to clients. But these days she is selling fresher produce and making bigger profit.

This is because of an ingenious device — the zeer pot — that was invented by a Nigerian teacher, Mohammed Bah Abba and introduced to Darfur last year. The zeer is a large pot inside which fits another smaller pot with a clay lid. Each zeer can contain 12 kg of vegetables, and costs less than US$2 to produce. Hawa was the first person to use the zeer technology in her canteen.

SMALL-SCALE PAPER BAG

Clark This process is for the manufacture of small, box-shaped paper bags (our specific process turns out one and three quarters kilo bags, but a similar process is possible for other sizes as well.) It is designed to make 500 bags per day with a labor force of 3 to 5 people. This method uses labor as much as possible, and simple machinery where necessary to provide speed.

I had a startlingly revealing conversation a few weeks ago with a taxi driver in Nairobi. During the course of our conversation, he told me that he used to be an auto mechanic and had quit to become a taxi driver. Dossiers : Économie.

Les résultats des travaux et recherches d’universitaires et des nombreuses ONG ont incité des pays comme le Burkina-Faso, le Mali, le Sénégal et bien d’autres à mettre au cœur des politiques de développement, des programmes spécifiques de premier plan pour mieux permettre aux acteurs du secteur informel de contribuer efficacement à la production nationale. Getting Biofuel from the World’s Garbage. There is plenty of garbage on this planet; in fact there is so much garbage that many developed countries are trying to dump their garbage on the lands of lesser developed countries, at a fee of course.

But does dumping garbage on other places solve the problem? On the contrary it spreads pollutions and diseases. In fact it is more dangerous to dump garbage in the less developed countries (because there are neither technologies available to process it nor enough awareness). Even creating landfills wastes precious resources. Step by Step: How I Built A Solar Generator For Less Than $300. Think Green - Think Waste Management. The Social Investment Business. Solar Electric Panels & Array Combiners. We stock a wide range of solar panels, ranging from the small 1-watt trickle charge panels, up to the very large Kyocera 315 watt PV panels.

Solar panels convert sunlight to electricity, and range in size from 1 watt to 300+ watts. Most solar panels up to 140 watts are 12 volt. Many solar panels over 140 watts are 21 to 40 volts - designed mainly for grid tie applications. However, almost any solar panel can be used for battery charging with the proper type of solar charge controller. Higher voltage solar panels can be used on battery charging systems when using MPPT controllers such as the Outback Power, Midnite Solar, Xantrex, and the Morningstar MPPT solar charge controls. All solar panels are rated in Watts. HelioVolt: Solar Innovation Powering a Sustainable World. Online Newsletter on Investing and Trading in Africa. Biogas.

IFC evaluates investment in Nigeria’s mobile money market « Mobile Money Africa. The International Finance Corporation may invest in the Nigerian mobile money industry if it is satisfied with the result of the due diligence it is currently carrying out on the industry.

Our correspondent gathered that the IFC was keen to play a major role in the country’s emerging mobile money ecosystem and was currently evaluating opportunities available therein. Areas currently being evaluated by the IFC include technology acquisition, e-Float management and agency network, according to investigation. The Principal Associate, Mobile Money Africa, Mr. Emmanuel Okoegwale, who spoke with our correspondent about the development, said a number of international development organisations had also expressed interest in the country’s fledgling mobile money landscape.

These organisations, according to him, are expected to play a major role in capacity building for mobile money operators in the country.
