The World Food Programme (WFP) Innovation Accelerator identifies, nurtures and scales bold solutions to fight hunger globally; it is identifying and testing solutions in an agile way. At the moment there are 22 projects listed across 14 countries (LINK)

The European Retail Academy supports the penetration of Anti-Food Losses/-Waste activities around the world like via its special site Global Green University (LINK), its e-learning Food Waste Management (Download eBook), participation at the 1st pan-African Postharvest Loss Congress (News at ABF) and at the 3rd World Save Food Conference at the Interpack Exhibition in Duesseldorf/Germany coming on 4.05.17 (LINK).
 

In June 2017 there will be the 10th Astana Economic Forum (LINK) - initiated by Kazakhstan's President Nazarbayev - supported by G-Global, the Eurasian Club of Scientists, the Astana Club of Nobel Laureates and the European Retail Academy. In the same week EXPO 2017 is opened in Astana: a light-house for saving energy to become a more Green Economy.

For Prof. Dr. B.Hallier a "green economy" is a Global House of Harmony between Economics, Ecology and Ethics. Also the two terms "micro-credits" and "social business" play a major role in this concept: those two key-words had been also focused in the works of the Nobel Peace Laureates Prof. Dr. Wangari Muta Maathai from Africa (Laureate 2004) and Prof. Muhammad Yunus from Bangladesh (Laureate 2006) - Prof. Yunus at the photo together with Prof. M. Fedorov and Prof. B. Hallier at the Astana Economic Forum 2014. Africa and the Indian sub-continent have a lot in common, Hallier said - and they should be enabled by the World Community to feed themselves by stopping food losses and food waste.
 

In Nairobi/Kenya a slum-project is titled "Shangilia" - the translation stands for "Enjoy"! It all started in 1993 by the film "Don't Cry, Child of Africa" which reported about the fate of street-children. The main-actor Anne Wanjugu one year later created the Shangilia-project as a focus for vulnerable children beyond that film. In 2004 the Cap Anamur Club of German doctors bought some ground for a new school and sleeping accomodations for that project. in 2009 a special Shangilia Foundation was established in Germany to support the education under the supervision of Japheth Njenga.

In 2017 Shangilia was visited by German IKV-members in context with the joint Food Waste Awareness Exhibition together with the HAWA Artists in the Creativity Gallery of the National Museum of Kenya in Nairobi (Link: Flyer). The Group intends to build up art-courses for Shangilia over the next three years and to connect Food & Food for Thought. Sponsors are welcome!
 

Jointly the European Retail Academy, G-Global Development Community , G-Global Business Portal and Sumato Education will organize/promote a Global Education and Science Forum in September 2017 in Shymkent City/Kazakhstan.

The Forum is planned to develop recommendations for the Government of Kazakhstan and the Central Asian Countries and intends to launch major projects in education, research and science ( more info@innoker.org ) . Part of that initiative is also the Almaty Eurasian University Complex (www.european-retail-academy.org/AEUC ).
 

The G-Global communication platform was initiated by Kazakhstan's President S.Nazarbayev as a strategic bridge between the big global players and the developing countries : it serves all countries of the globe ! G-Global is also a tactical tool to promote the Green Economy like via the EXPO 2017 in Astana with the focus to save energy.

G-Global and ERA are connected by three links : the President of the Eurasian Club of Scientists, Murat Ratovich, is Board member of ERA; Prof.B.Hallier is member of the G-Global Developing Community; the Global Green University (www.european-retail-academy.org/GGU) was started as an idea of the World Economic Youth Forum in Astana in 2013 under the joint leadership of Prof.Dr.M.Fedorov and Prof.Dr.B.Hallier.
