18.09.2007 Nel momento in cui il Senato affronta la discussione sulla riforma della legge sulla cooperazione allo sviluppo, la rete europea "Azione per la salute globale", di cui AIDOS e CESTAS sono i referenti italiani, ha presentato oggi a Roma "Allarme salute", il dossier sulla salute nei paesi più poveri. "Malgrado gli impegni politici assunti a livello mondiale nel settore sanitario, la cooperazione italiana, come anche quella europea e internazionale, resta molto distante dagli obiettivi dichiarati: non solo i finanziamenti stanziati sono insufficienti, ma lo scarso coordinamento e la mancanza di continuità riducono notevolmente l'efficacia degli interventi" - affermano le associazioni. Tra gli errori da evitare, "i grandi ospedali che tanto attraggono e commuovono i donatori privati, ma che poco cambiano nelle condizioni delle popolazioni più povere".

Giornata mondiale dell'alfabetizzazione 2007 - da Unesco
08.09.2007 Nel mondo un adulto su cinque è ancora oggi analfabeta e nei due terzi dei casi si tratta di donne: sono infatti circa 774 milioni gli adulti che non possiedono le nozioni minime di scrittura e lettura. E' soprattutto negli Stati Arabi che l'analfabetismo raggiunge punte massime: ben il 44%, una percentuale che supera anche quella dell'Africa subsahariana (39%). E più di 72 milioni di bambini non sono scolarizzati mentre un numero ancora maggiore frequenta la scuola irregolarmente o l'abbandona. Sono i dati forniti dall'Unesco in occasione della Giornata mondiale dell'alfabetizzazione 2007. "E' il momento giusto per prendere in esame la sfida mondiale dell'alfabetizzazione - scrive nel suo messaggio il Direttore generale dell'Unesco Koïchiro Matsuura. Le associazioni, tra cui Amref e Vis, in sintonia col tema della giornata, pongono l'accento sulla relazione tra alfabetismo e salute rinnovando il loro impegno nel settore.
