Lesson 4.5
Accident Prone Practices and Safety Measures
 
• The most important sources of accident are electricity, poison, fire and explosives. Let us see the nature of these sources of accident and how you protect yourself from the accidents they cause.
 
Electricity
- Electricity is one of the modern technologies. It is a form of energy supplied in the form of electric current through wires for lighting, heating and driving machines
- All metallic and wet materials, including human body are conductors of electric currents. So we must be careful about electricity.
- We must not use materials that operate with electricity, we have to be careful not to touch bare wires.
 
Poison
- Poison is a chemical substance that causes death or harm if it is swallowed or absorbed into the body.
- In modern society poisons are manufactured and used for different purposes.
- Poisons are chemicals which exist in the form of solid, liquid or gas. People use chemicals for various purposes.
- Chemicals are poisonous when used outside the purposes for which they are made. They cause skin burning, blindness or death, to prevent such dangers, instructions are given on their packages or containers. The most common instruction says "keep away from children's reach".
- You should not try to check whether or not it is a poison either by tasting or touching, or smelling.
 
Fire
- Fire is a natural phenomenon. Early humans discovered fire long ago.
- They used fire for heating, cooking, lighting and above all to chase away dangerous animals.
 
Dangerous sources of fire
* Careless tossing of burning match sticks or smokes in a dry bush area.
* Keeping easily flammable materials around places where fire is used for domestic purpose.Petroleum products and dry woods are easily flammable materials.
* Kerosene burning stoves cause fire in residence and work places.
 
The following tips may be helpful for their safe use
 
-Place the burner on a flat level floor before you lit it up.
- Make sure that it has enough fuel before you lit it up or never pour fuel while the burner is burning. Nor should you pick it up while burning.
- Never try to put off the burner by puffing air on it.
- Instead, reduce the candle clothes to the minimum. It would go off by itself. If not add some water!
- Make sure the burner is in the kitchen rather than in living room
* When using electrically operated tools, such as heaters or boilers make sure that
- There are no uninsulated wires,
- No damp or wet around,
- When pulling the plug from sockets, take care. Support the socket with one of your hands and pull plugs with another.
 
Explosives or Mines
- Explosives are products of modern technology. They are also called mines.
- They have enormous destructive capacities.
- They are used as weapons of mass killing in wars.
- There are a lot of stories about explosion accidents. The victims were mostly children of your age..
- You should avoid touching strange objects.
 
Accomplishing your duties and responsibilities
As part of the community, you have to respect and obey these societal rules and regulations. Besides, you have to respect others’ rights in order to get your rights respected by others. You should respect all positive social norms in the community where you live. When you go to
school, you come across rules and regulations that you should respect. In general, as citizens, you have to respect the do’s and do not’s.
 
Lesson 4.6
Partnership Issues
 
• Today's world is confronted by vast and complex problems. The task of solving such problems is beyond the ability of a single country. Thus, their solution requires cooperation among countries affected by the problems.
• The problem could be environmental or natural, or societal related to peace violation. The joint effort to combat these problems or the capacity to deal with problems comes under partnership issues.
• The countries of Eastern Africa share many things in common. They share boundaries, population, mode of economic life and resources like rivers, lakes, natural vegetation and wildlife. They also share numerous problems. These include conflict, desertification, drought, famine and poverty. The task of finding solutions to such complex problems is beyond the capacity of a single country.
• The countries of Eastern Africa have to combine their efforts and resources in order to solve the problems. Similar effort is necessary to develop the resources they share.
 
Sub-Regional Organizations in Eastern Africa
- There are several such sub-regional organizations in Eastern Africa. Let us see two of such organizations in Eastern Africa.
 
Inter-Governmental Authority for Development (IGAD)
→ IGAD was formed in 1986.
→ One of the principal aims of the organization was to tackle the problem of drought.
→ Its name was then Inter-Governmental Authority for Drought and Development (IGADD).
→ Later on, the organization focused on broader issues of development. So it dropped “Drought” from its name.
→ Initially IGAD member countries were six. They were Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. With the admission of Eritrea as an independent state, number of IGAD member countries has become seven. However, Eritrea has recently withdrawn from IGAD.
→ This organization is launching, at present, a project against terrorism. This project is called IGAD Capacity Building Programmer against Terrorism (ICPAT).
→ Target is a result one tries to achieve.
 
The Nile Basin Initiative
 
→ Nile is the longest river in the world. The basin of this river covers the total area of more than
three million square miles.
 
→ This total area is shared among the eleven basin countries of Eastern Africa. They are Ethiopia, Burundi, Eritrea, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, Egypt, Northern and Southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These eleven countries are called the Nile Basin Countries.
 
→ The Nile basin countries do not contribute an equal amount of water to the Nile. For instance, Egypt doesn’t contribute any water to the river. Others’ contribution is also very small. But Ethiopia is the most important source of the Nile water. It contributes a total of 86% of the Nile water. The remaining countries contribute only 14% of the water of the Nile.
 
→ Egypt is by far the major consumer of the water. Next to Egypt, Sudan is another country fairly using the Nile waters. But Ethiopia and the other countries are the least users. Since the 1990s, there has been an attempt to change this condition. This attempt has been carried out through an organization known as Nile Basin Initiative (NBI
 
→ Members of NBI have formulated vision and common projects. The most important are hydroelectric power, water resources management, environmental conservation, capacity building and agricultural training. These are partnership targets for NBI countries.

Grade 6 S.S 3

→ EAC is a regional intergovernmental organization in Eastern Africa.
 
→ Initially, it was established by the governments of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in 1967. It then, included Rwanda and Burundi as members.
 
→ When founded, EAC was meant to coordinate some of the economic issues and trade activities of the member states.
 
→ Its aim is to promote cooperation and integration among member nations in such fields as science and technology, environmental and natural resource management, tourism and wildlife management as well as social and cultural activities.
 
Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)
 
→ COMESA is a broader and more active regional organization than EAC.
→ In its geographical coverage COMESA combines two sub-regions of the continent, namely Eastern and Southern Africa.
→ COMESA was set up in 1993 when nineteen Eastern and Southern African countries signed an agreement in Kampala, Uganda.
→ These countries, in their alphabetical order are Angola, Burundi, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
→ The aim of COMESA is to bring together the resources of member states in order to promote development efforts individually or collectively.
→ Member states wanted to cooperate in such fields as: trade, custom, transport, industry and agriculture.
