Apr 27, 2011 Senegal: Music to Fight Malaria
Music may seem an unlikely way to fight malaria. But Senegal's
highly successful program has relied not only on medical
expertise but also on the star power of Youssou N'Dour and a
national song competition called "Xeex Sibbiru" (Let's Beat
Malaria). Support from prominent figures in the society,
including religious leaders as well as music stars, has helped
to dramatically increase prevention and treatment coverage.
Dec 7, 2006 Africa: Balancing Act Internet News
"In less than two years, the bandwidth of traffic on Internet
services provided by Senegal's telecom Sonatel has doubled. By
today, Internet services provided by Sonatel are the most
extensive in sub-Saharan Africa, second only to those in South
Africa, a country of much bigger resources." - Balancing Act

Sep 16, 2004 West Africa: Locust Invasion
"The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has appealed to the
international community for $100 million to help contain this
locust invasion, the worst which West Africa has seen for 15 years.
But everywhere, too little is being done too late. The FAO has so
far received only a third of the money needed." - UN Integrated
