Be heading to total to meet the cult of giants who i think so this was all the wonders of the capital if you know me. As you can tell being well 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 if thats what many people think but how many children can cause a financial bottom for 5 years and a Serious Health problems for women having several 7 pregnancies in a row but Family Planning and contraceptive methods a steered toward subject in many of the conservative with the majority countries of the region however in federal goal seems like the 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 side goes door to door visiting family some have the kind neighbor who she said. The district godmother or until 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. People 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 of our role is to media. Yes you will have an mediators have a Grassroots Level makes a big difference sophie put young to rate a midwife at him by then 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 newly told that. According to the world bank the fatality rates dropped below for. 5 children per woman in 2016 it was the 1st time is illegals history the better it 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. 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. 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 pail she doesnt want any more children as she wants to make sure her kids get the best education possible. Family planning i have peace of mind now i can do whatever i want without thinking of getting pregnant with her face. In synagogue or on my auntie 5 percent of the population is muslim. Society here is conservative most awful as part of a growing young generation of religious leaders who promote Family Planning for house train more than 2500 moms across the country he insists that a koran advocates Breast Feeding and space in our pregnancies. But when you read the hurdles 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 just considered topple single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reProductive Health. And. There because of the priority is to educate the youth compounds. 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 a reason why. In a country like senegal it must be a priority to. Progress has been made but theres still a long way to go Health Workers women and. Women across africa dont always have the freedom to make their physicians 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 resources are becoming scarce phosphate debate our reporter aided in money visited nigeria which is projected to be the most oculus 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 cannes or 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. Because when you look at the investment like you are putting into. I think you have. To. Its something i have thought about because. The numbers might not be extremely precise but we know that africans are going to increase and i want to come to sign up 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. Ns are increasing in population where the rest of the world the trend seems like that decreasing with because there are some months. Like population is booming and is increasing day by day and we are not doing anything about it in main judea precisely do not and increase our. Brains given by then 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 resource is a stretch thing 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 i needed to my needs the education of these children under the government at the moment the snow a ton 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 zine 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 yet because we lack as an access to partly plan and i think there are a Productive Health rights and we are growing press delete without any make i said in the post place and also dieties some really just unconscionable proctors that is a pity in that also because of the deceased my rage and the prime least him of the not thats so. So weighs the balance between religion culture and really just being rational primarily 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 c. 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 when 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 the husband 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 are out there they 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 or why is that. When you talk about these issues never been one that was because of the issue of gender equality it is like when they are talking about education because if it goes i educated all these issues will go down they are not even making any up or to have a bill to sign a bill. That it will address at least less does conclude the 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 are addressing things like child murders and we have this. Arrangement where we give monies to parents of goes to allow them to continue their education of to secondary school level let me find out what is that what will a consequences if a parent is found to have given that child out for marriage when theyre too young of course they have their extant laws rabbi 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 a like a well known law but in a moment like to come back to you. Allow 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 per woman one 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 well our soft touch see it as negative would reject its one who we were able to do one thing that hes in power and creates awareness and 1000 against change them education because the side people that i give in but so if you give them a when its not if you need this is the point is that will happen if there is a population crisis in the country so its not for you to have blood type of the the number of children that youre going to be given back to you can talk to the husband look im not eager to get my to because of im not ready to give but because of my Health Condition because you can enlighten them even to people in the areas and once and that is my take so information for you is what would the 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 in d. C. Thank you and thanks to all the panelists now if you would like to watch the full version of this straight debate please have a local know why you tube channel we cant wait to read all your comments there 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 and trucks on the route will be it is a daily struggle for many with them because as we found out on the streets of my but innovation 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 that getting to work takes her 2 hours she has had enough of it. Is not a witch 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 or put our lives in danger every day but that is not english not only is public transport. It is also unsafe the number of Motor Vehicles registered in mozambique has grown by more than 50 percent in the past 5 years and this has also resulted in increased bloodshed on the roads several 100 people are killed in traffic accidents and i put to each year. Driver. Has experienced many accidents. Over the one where it was a big 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 for the sheer force. Of law. In order to make the streets safe of course has 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 with 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 because there. Is a service that is going to help was on beacons way to transport most people are suffering every morning waiting for all scrambling for my loves you there might be a but then we are going to solve this problem and then not like. Something. Connects motorists have empty seats never be a cold with passing just wanted to catch a lift into town or back. 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 well 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 the only 4 drivers taking part in the service and about 50 pain 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 pay a day. Now with change to a different. Will in kenya actually well known for its well in a letter but not necessarily its. Not yet. With k 2 boarding taking off in east africa in the lead up to its debut in the next olympics d. W.

Whenever she gets to times. My role being which provides shelter and schooling for 100. 00 children but a skate park is the best part at least the children think so. Because out. Of the park opening 2014 its not just the stuff just fast speeds but also its largest the children have been selfconfident theyve been able to express themselves theyve been able to fulfil lives of people from outside their will to open up and appreciate them he says when she watches the children she sees just total cost of neglect and abandonment. She sees a brighter future. As a friend and i dream of going to the olympics one day and introducing other women. Showing them they shouldnt be afraid of skating because nothing is impossible you just have to have them move around and be feeling and have enough confidence confident enough. To make a living with skateboarding one day and when she wants to build a home for the iraqis underprivileged children. And im sure in the dream house well thought really be escaped.
