Ngomhla ziyi-12 kuMfumfu, sijoyine ngo-4:00 ntambama (CEST) | 5:00 pm I-EAT yokwethulwa kokuhlolwa kokugcina kohlelo lwe-LIRA 2030 kanye nemiphumela yalo ukuze kugqugquzelwe ucwaningo lwe-transdisciplinary. Joyina isethulo ngqo ngalesi sixhumanisi.
I-Leading Integrated Research for Agenda 2030 in Africa (LIRA) uhlelo olwasongwa ngo-2021, kodwa amaqembu e-Afrika yonkana ayaqhubeka nokushicilela futhi akhe phezu kocwaningo olungaphezu kweminyaka eyisithupha yokuphila kwalolu hlelo.
I-LIRA ixhase ucwaningo oluvela kososayensi abasebasha base-Afrika egxile ezisombululweni zesayensi ezinkingeni ezisheshayo zokusimama kwedolobha. Eyethulwe ngemuva kokwamukelwa kwe-Ajenda ka-2030 Yentuthuko Esimeme, i-LIRA ihlanganise nososayensi emazweni angama-22.
Iphrojekthi ngayinye yayixhumanisa ososayensi emadolobheni amabili ase-Afrika okungenani, ihlanganisa izazi ezinobuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene ukuze amaqembu akwazi ukuphenya izinkinga ezivela ezinhlangothini ezihlukahlukene.
Amathimba abhekelele ukuqondiswa kwezigwegwe abheke izinkinga kusukela ekuthuthukisweni kwezinga lomoya ukuya ekuhlanzeni imizila yamanzi yasemadolobheni nokusebenzisa amandla ahlanzekile emijondolo - ukudala indikimba ekhulayo yocwaningo eligcwalise izikhala zedatha, izinguquko zenqubomgomo ezinolwazi futhi lakha umphakathi wabacwaningi abasha abasebenza ngezinkinga eziphuthumayo.
Ithimba eliholwa ngu-Anita Etale eNyuvesi yaseWitwatersrand eNingizimu Afrika beligxile ekufinyeleleni amanzi. Amazwe amaningi e-Sub-Saharan Africa akhula ngokushesha, kodwa ukutholakala kwamanzi ngaphakathi kwekhaya kwehlile kuso sonke isifunda phakathi kuka-1990 no-2015, nengqalasizinda ekhona ingakwazi ukuhambisana nokwanda kwabantu basemadolobheni.
Lokhu kube yinkinga ethile eGhana naseNingizimu Afrika amanothi ethimba labacwaningi. E-Ghana, u-24% kuphela wemizi yasemadolobheni ekwazi ukuthola amanzi ngaphakathi ezindlini zayo - inani elikhuphuka lifinyelela kuma-36% kuphela enhlokodolobha, i-Accra. Njengoba ukukhula okusheshayo kwedolobha kulindeleke ukuthi kuqhubeke, iziphathimandla zingaphansi kwengcindezi ekhulayo yokuthola izixazululo.
Ukwelapha nokusebenzisa kabusha amanzi angcolile kungaba yisixazululo esisebenzayo kule nkinga. Kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi futhi kufinyeze umjikelezo, futhi ishibhile futhi kulula endaweni ezungezile kunokukhipha usawoti emanzini, osekusetshenziswa kakade eGhana. Ukusetshenziswa kabusha sekuyingxenye ebalulekile yengqalasizinda yamanzi e-Namibia, okube yi- iphayona ensimini, kanye neSingapore.
Kodwa inenkinga eqhubekayo: lokho abacwaningi abakubiza ngokuthi “isici esicasulayo.” Abantu abaningi bathola umqondo wamanzi asetshenziswe kabusha ubi, futhi bakhathazeke ngokuthi akuphephile ukuwaphuza. "Kuyanyanyisa futhi akucabangeki ukuthi ngiphuze amanzi abenomchamo nendlu yangasese phambilini," kusho omunye umphenduli etshela abacwaningi.
Lokho “kucasuka okungokomzwelo” kunzima ukukunqoba, ngisho nakulabo abaziyo ukuthi amanzi aphephile - njengonjiniyela nesikhulu endaweni yokuhlanza amanzi angcolile owatshela abacwaningi: “Ngeke ngiwaphuze.”
Lisebenzisa izinhlolovo, amaqembu okugxilwe kuwo kanye nezingxoxo, ithimba laqoqa idatha ebanzi ukuze liqonde izithiyo zokusebenzisa kabusha amanzi, nokuthi zinganqotshwa kanjani. Abakuthola kuyakhuthaza: ngolwazi olufanele nomongo, ithimba elitholile, abantu ababekade bengabaza umqondo wokusebenzisa kabusha amanzi bangaqiniseka ukuthi bawuzame. Imiphumela yabo inikeza isiqondiso kuziphathimandla zasemadolobheni mayelana nendlela yokwakha ukwethenjwa kwezakhamizi nokusebenzisa amanzi kabusha - okungase kube ithuluzi elibalulekile ekwenzeni ngcono impilo nentuthuko.
IQEMBU lakwa-Lira eliholwa nguGladman Thondhlana eNyuvesi yaseRhodes eNingizimu Afrika libheke enye inselele enzima yokusimama: ukonga kwamandla asekhaya.
Inkinga ngokwayo iqondile, abacwaningi bayaphawula: ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okungasebenzi kahle kulimaza imvelo - okukhathazayo kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika, lapho u-70% kagesi uvela emalahleni, nalapho ukutholakala kwesidingo kungabangela ukucisha kukagesi - futhi kubambezela intuthuko ngokuhlehla. -imindeni engenayo enezikweletu ezinkulu ngokungadingekile.
Ingxenye yesixazululo ukushintsha amaphethini okusetshenziswa kukagesi ukuze kuncishiswe ukusetshenziswa nezikweletu. Kodwa ngokuvamile uma iziphathimandla zizama ukwenza izinhlelo zokwenza lokho, azixoxi nabantu abazothinteka - okuyiphutha elibalulekile elenza leyo mizamo ingasebenzi kahle, abacwaningi bayaphikisana.
ithimba wasebenzisa izindlela eziningi ukuthola indlela yokungenelela ngempumelelo kakhulu. Bahlela imihlangano yokucobelelana ngolwazi, benza inhlolovo kumakhulu emindeni futhi bamisa imihlangano emiphakathini yaseNingizimu Afrika naseGhana ukuze baqoqe imibono yabo. Ngemva kokuqoqa idatha yokuqala, babize izingxoxo zokulandelela ukuze abantu ngabanye namaqembu omphakathi bakhulume ngokusetshenziswa kwamandla.
Laziswa ngocwaningo lwalo, ithimba lenze uhlu lwezindlela zokonga ugesi, futhi lazibeka esivivinyweni emiphakathini eminingi yaseNingizimu Afrika phakathi nezinyanga eziyi-11. Ekupheleni kwesikhathi socwaningo, imindeni isebenzisa isudi egcwele yezindlela zokonga amandla yonga ugesi ophindwe kasithupha kunesilawuli.
Ngaphandle kwezinzuzo ezisheshayo zezemvelo nezezimali, abacwaningi bayaphikisana, ucwaningo lugqamisa ukubaluleka kokubandakanya abantu ngabanye kumaphrojekthi okonga amandla nokugcizelela i-ejensi yabo kanye nesibopho somphakathi.
Okutholwe emaqenjini ka-Thondhlana kanye no-Etale kuyingxenye yocwaningo olukhulayo olukhiqizwa amaqembu e-LIRA, oluhlanganisa amaphepha angaphezu kwama-60, kanye nemifushane yenqubomgomo, izincwadi kanye neminye imithombo yezindaba - futhi osekwakhe isisekelo seziqu ze-master's kanye ne-postgraduate for the. isizukulwane esilandelayo sososayensi base-Afrika.
Lolo cwaningo luhlanganisa idatha eyingqayizivele yezinselele zokusimama kwedolobha, esetshenziselwa ukukhomba umsebenzi ekufinyeleleni Izinjongo Zokuthuthukiswa Okusimeme (ama-SDG). "Ikusasa lokuhlala emadolobheni ase-Afrika alinabo ubunye kodwa lihlukaniswa ngokwezimo zendawo," kuphawula umbiko wakamuva we-ISC.
Impumelelo ebaluleke kakhulu yephrojekthi, umbiko wakamuva we-ISC uyaphakamisa, ikhuthaza ukudalwa komphakathi ohlanganisa izwekazi lonke wezazi zeminyaka yangaphambi kwesikhathi ezithatha izinselele zokusimama kwedolobha.
Amakhulu ososayensi abahlobene nalo msebenzi “benze okungaphezu kwanoma yiliphi elinye iqembu ezwenikazi ukuthuthukisa kakhulu umthamo, ubuningi kanye nokufaneleka kocwaningo lwasemadolobheni ezwenikazi,” kubhala uSusan Parnell, uSihlalo weKomiti Lokweluleka Ngesayensi ye-LIRA.
Uhlelo lwe-'Leading Integrated Research for Agenda 2030 in Africa (LIRA 2030)', oluqaliswe yi-International Science Council (ISC) kanye neNASAC phakathi kuka-2016 no-2021, kube uhambo lwangempela lokufunda kwabaningi babambisene nabo.
Ukuthwebula imininingwane kanye nokutholakele kohlelo ekuphothulweni kwalo, ukuhlolwa kokugcina kwenziwa ithimba lamazwe ngamazwe labahloli Iqoqo Locwaningo Oluphendulayo, eyakhiwa ochwepheshe base-Afrika, eLatin America, eYurophu nase-Australia. Ngokomoya wohlelo lwe-LIRA, ithimba lokuhlola likhethe indlela yokuxoxisana neyokwakha ukuze liqhubeke nokufunda kulokho okwenzeka kubacwaningi bezemfundo, ozakwethu bocwaningo abavela emikhakheni eyahlukene nasemiphakathini, kanye nabaqalisi bohlelo.
Ngokokuhlola, i-LIRA 2030 yenze umehluko omkhulu ekuthuthukiseni amandla ocwaningo lokusimama kwe-transdisciplinary e-Afrika kanye nasekuthuthukiseni izimo ezingenasimeni emadolobheni ase-Afrika. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isimo sohlelo lwe-LIRA 2030 sinikeze ithuba lokufunda elithile ekuqedeni ucwaningo nokusebenzisana kwamanye amazwe kanye nokwazisa izindlela ezahlukene zokwazi, ukwenza kanye nokuba khona.
Ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngomthelela wohlelo lwe-LIRA 2030, sijoyine ukuze wethule i-inthanethi ngomhla ka-12 Okthoba ngo-4:00 ntambama CEST. ngqo ngalesi sixhumanisi sokusondeza.
