Be jumping on a stall all miked up. And last but not least will be having to pull to make that call tell giants what i think some would show us all the wonders of the capitol if you know me. As you can tell they were a lot on your agenda once again report takes us to west africa where the baath weight is one of the highest in the world this growing young population could drive the local economy i guess thats what many people think but how many children can cause a financial bottom for 5 years and farias Health Problems for women having federal 7 pregnancies in a row but Family Planning and contraceptive methods a state of subject in many of the conservative with the majority countries of the region however im fed a goal being slightly only be changing a growing number of young couples want to take control over how many children they will have and when every day in going south goes door to door visiting family some have the kind neighbor who she said. The district godmother or auntie as she wants to see change in her community. In the privacy of their homes she talks to women about sex and contraception the of the. So not every woman is able to go to the clinic and choose a contraceptive method. She needs her husband to agree and sometimes also her mother in law some women come to the clinic and say my husband wants me to take this specific method even if its not safe so we go and speak to the has meant to raise his awareness our role is to media. Yes you will have an mediators at a Grassroots Level makes a big difference says sophie put young to rate a midwife i came by it in the View Health Center 10 years ago the government launched this Outreach Program to make Family Planning a priority they hoped to decrease my turmoil and unit told that. According to the world bank the fertility rate dropped below for. Children per woman in 2016 it was the 1st time as illegals history the better rate is now 4. 00 lower than other countries in the region such as new j. Old nigeria and the queue outside sophies practice is always growing i dont know. If in 2009 when i started working here we had around 400 women a month who wanted contraceptives. Now we have up to 2500. 00 women a month. So the growth has been exponential. And massimo i did really well. I think its because of all the awareness campaigns the media the fundings also women now realize the benefits of spacing out pregnancies for their babies their husbands and for themselves. This mother of 3 comes here regularly to get the pale she doesnt want any more children she wants to make sure her kids get the best education possible. The 1st Family Planning i have peace of mind now i can do whatever i want without thinking of getting pregnant. In synagogue or on my auntie 5 percent of the population is muslim. Society here is conservative awful as part of a growing young generation of religious leaders who promote Family Planning for house trained more than 2500 moms across the country in assists that a koran advocates breastfeeding and space in our pregnancies. But when you read they had the author of the words of the prophets you can clearly see that he was against both pregnancy because he said they had terrible consequences for the newborns and for the mother. More and more mired couples are now using contraception but because sex outside marriage is posse that single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reProductive Health. And. The priority is to educate the youth pompons. You have to make them understand what is at stake when there is an unwanted pregnancy. What is at stake when they have an uncontrolled sexuality of the reason why. In a country like senegal must be a priority to. Progress has been made but. Health workers women and. Women across africa dont always have the freedom to make decisions over their own bodies often because of social pressure and tradition but Family Planning will play an increasing role in years to come because according to the wild bunk africas population is likely to double by 2050 meanwhile the resources are becoming. Phosphate debate our reporter aided him money because it said nigeria which is projected to become the most populous country in the world. Africas population is growing fast predictions say that by the year 2100 bill before point 5000000000 africans thats about a 3rd of the entire global population so were here in congo the most populous state in the most populous country in africa to find out how exactly that future we look for africa is my i want to begin with you should we trust these numbers are they accurate and where do they even come from for me the numbers because when you look at the investment like. I put into research and i think you have. To. Its something i have. Because. The numbers might not be extremely precise but we know that africans are going to increase and i want to come to zeina because youre an advocate for children and adolescents and specifically against Child Marriage and i want to find out from you why do you think africa. Are increasing in population where the rest of the world the trend seems like that decreasing when because there are some months. When the guts of the nation like population is booming and is increasing day by day and we are not doing anything about it in precisely do not increase our. Brains given by that a very young age and a booming of the population this is causing a lot of problem from. A so mr director general were hearing that resources a stretched thin are you feeling it when you are governing indeed it is very true that facilities stretched at the moment we have 3000000 children in public primary schools which means a little forms needed to my needs the education of these children under the government at the moment theres no top of these funds so if the government doesnt have money to take care of the people that it has right now how is nigeria going to take care of itself in the future zeinab i want to come back to you because i really want to get to the heart of this why then are we not we having 5. 7 children thats the average age of number of births per woman in nigeria compared to one point something in europe why are we still having so many children if its not working if we cant afford it because i think access to parmalee line and i think you are a Productive Health rights and we are growing to leave without any make i said in the post place and also undoubtedly some really joes unconscionable proctors that is a pet sin that also because of the deceased. Him of the not thats so him and so weighs the balance between religion culture and really just being rational family for lenin islam is at. When there are problems but it is not allowed when it is intentionally mad to check the wheel the idea of let me help 2 people or 3 people like how other people are doing in their culture is prohibited i want to understand to what degree do women have the agency not necessary for Family Planning but even to space their children actually i do think they have a lot of say because i just had a baby 5 months ago so i was like my husband and i decided to space you know to birth like lets go and check out the child space and you need to be so like 5 to 6 women i think 3 of them came on their own but the hospital said they have to bring their husbands or a written letter from him signed that he has agreed you know for them to do this piecing but i met a woman at the child spacing unit shes 39 and shes just tired she has 8 children so she doesnt want to you know do it anymore but the husband is and is insistent that she has to do it again what is going to happen to decide of women because a lot of them out there are tired they are sick but the husbands which are not even able to take care of them still wants them to keep giving birth why why is that. Line when you talk about these issues the most vulnerable in ones i guess because of the issue of gender equality its like when theyre talking about education because if it goes i educated all these issues will go down they are not even making any approach to have a bill and decide it be up tell right and so that it will address at least let these. School education ok let me come to the director general because you spoke directly to him that the idea of Free Education is really incompatible with whats happening right now because youre not even addressing things like Child Marriage indeed we assume things like child murders we have this. Arrangement where we give monies to parents of goes to allow them to continue their education or to secondary school level let me find out what is that what will a consequences if a parent is found to have given their child out for marriage when theyre too young of course theyre very extant laws where by if you refused to take your girl child to education. Process would be followed anything. About where did you lead legal process. Im not a lawyer so i dont know anything i thought it would be like a well known law but a moment like to come back to you. A lot me to ask what would happen if the government of Nigeria Today the federal government said that the problem of population growth is to begin nigeria and we now have to cap the number of children to one poem on what is is just an assumption. The question is based on assumption yes of course but im asking you is this something that you think could work in nigeria in cannes or even in africa it will work somewhere and it will not work somewhere. That. Is in line with their culture and believe will are soft and those that see it as negative will reject it while we were able to do one thing that is empower and creates awareness and late in the game change them education because besides people that are given by it so if you are a light in them and give them a line is that if you need this is the quinta point is that will happen if there is a population crisis in the country so its not the type of the number of children that you are going to be even better you can talk to the husband look im not able to get my to because of im not ready to go but because of my Health Condition because you can enlighten them even to people in the areas and once in the city that is my take so information for you is what would they mum is refusing but im not going to stay there because i dont want to start a war i wonder what do you think its been a very exciting debate here in cannes oh im edith kimani thank you for watching. What i make fighting debate thanks and thanks to all but. Now if you would like to watch the full version of this straight debate please have a local noise you tube channel we cant wait to read all your comments the rapidly growing population is also a challenge in mozambique where since 2005 the number of residents has increased by 30 percent and more people means more and more cars trucks on the route well bt of a daily struggle for many with the beacon as we follow to the streets of my but you know vision is on its way. Each morning before sunrise thousands of commuters cram into overcrowded mini buses in the outskirts of. The often have to wait for hours to get a free seat on one of these open trucks. Known locally as my loves because the passengers on the crowded transporters have to hang on to each other in order not to fall. In more and they are as a teacher who has to take this route each day with getting to work takes her 2 hours she has had enough of it. No. Fucking this is north of which Transportation System but you dont have any other option available but today at least im lucky because im sitting in the front seat well spent most of the days and in the back this is not safe for talk here put our lives in danger every day and that is not and which not only is public transport. It is also unsafe a number of Motor Vehicles registered in mozambique has grown by more than 50 percent in the past 5 years this has also resulted in increased bloodshed on the roads several 100 people are killed in traffic accidents to each. Driver. Has experienced many accidents. Over the one where it was the easiest story that keeps running through my mind you know the roads here are not ok once one of the drivers had to hit the brakes abruptly and all the people fell on the street all of them all of them fair which of course. But. In order to make the streets safe i have tried to ban the use of open trucks in the past but the day they stopped operating tens of thousands of people failed to get to work bringing the city to a standstill authorities were forced to withdraw the decision. But safe alternatives are on their way to a Software Developer is your body talk has been well. Immobility designed to get you to work on time and without stress. On its name where i work in sort of useful. Against dark people there. Is a service that is going to help was on beacon swear to transport most people are suffering every morning waiting for tuxes scrambling for my loves you there might be a but there we are going to solve this problem i am going to make. Some. Connects motorists have empty seats never be a cold with passing just wanted to catch a lift into town. Payment is done by a mobile money platforms such as mtesa one kilometer of the journey costs about 3. 00 euro cents. This is not too expensive the public transport system costs around 20 louis and flat but it means that i have to go through so much trouble in the morning i have to fight for my place in the taxi so for me its much better to pay a bit more for better and more Reliable Service this is much more efficient than the taxi speak of. The founders of quid i want to revolutionize the private transport sector and provide a more dignified mode of transportation however the service is still in its infancy so far there are only 4 drivers taking part in the service and about 50 paying passengers. Theres no money for publicity work. From home like all startups we are still a small enterprise we need to be patient for now and direct all our efforts into the right direction. Is to keep growing we expect to be able to transport about 1000. 00 People Per Day in diffuse. Now which change to a different will in kenya actually well known for its well in a letter but not necessarily its actually its not yet. With k 2 boarding taking off in east africa in the lead up to its debut in the next olympics. Next the children of nairobi were dreaming of becoming the worlds best. Does when they grow up. To me say again escaping helps me to be strong when i am on my schedule but i feel free when im moving on the board especially when im dropping into the ball and i come out i feel so good. 16 year old. Whenever she gets the chance. I. Grew up here. In my role being which provides shelter. For 100. 00 children but a speech box is the best part of least the children think so. Because that must get. The park opening 2014 its not just the stuff of just fast speeds but also its largest the cooler selfconfidence theyve been able to express themselves theyve been able to pool so i feel ive had people from out there both open up and appreciate it but when he says when she watches the children skate and she sees just troubled past neglect and abandonment. She sees a brighter future. As often as i dream of going to the olympics one day and introducing women. Showing them things shouldnt be afraid of skating because nothing is impossible you just have to have to move around and be feeling and have enough confidence confident to not let them hopes to make a living with skateboarding one and when she wants to build a whole from there will be underprivileged children. And im sure in the dream house well thought really be escaped. Now from east africa to west africa were traveling to talk its time for im outta my. Today go on to ask how to see and to share his passion about the togas capital with us. Im glad hes so sculptor of giants ill introduce you to my beautiful city one of my sources of inspiration i hope you like it. At the soul was born into a capital ronnie which is home to more than 1700000 people. Voted on the border with ghana of the coastal city of course not only miles and miles of beaches but its also home to the leading container port in west africa but the city does not profit much from it as it is mainly used for transfer shipments the majority of the population in from one treat. Their man is a police and these sense of trance quality is also noticeable in a studio located in the neighborhood of the coming. War this is why i communicate with the would i like to bring new life to the dead my sculptures can be up to 4 metres tall i use my artworks to talk about a feeling in my heart my goal is to give something new to the world. That 20 year old artists never picks up from living trees one serving nature is very important to the end sculptor also incorporates Recycled Materials into his act whats to make people aware of the importance of protecting the environment like many cities in west africa a man has a problem with its width management this is very much i always feel shocked when i see people to rubbish on the street that is why i got a waste to include it in my work i even pay people to go to the. And collect trash for me here so. I do so also looks for inspiration beyond Environmental Issues he also gathers ideas from the local acts in china and historical treasures such as rome is old p. F. Which was built by the german colonial regime in the early 20th century. So here i think the old port is like a giant sculpture its like a museum where parents can tell their children about the colonial history of togo were new york. Was a German Colony until while one at which point it was taken over by britain and france in the commercial heart of rome a this Colonial Heritage blands with more than acting like the Peace Monument located into this culture takes its inspiration from the customs piece down.
