Democracy, Governance and Curbing Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
Location: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania
An international conference organized by the Master of Public Administration Program, in collaboration with The African & Caribbean Business Council.
While other regions of the world are making strides in improving the living standards of their citizens, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is still trapped in poverty with more than 40% of its 600 million people living below the internationally recognised absolute poverty level of US$ 1 per day. Several reports highlight corruption as one of the institutional and systemic problems responsible for keeping million of Africans under absolute poverty. In fact, the 2008 Transparency International report demonstrates a direct link between corruption and failure of societal institutions to effectively achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in SSA. It is a serious concern that the goals of halving poverty in SSA by the year 2015 from the level of 1990 will not be met.

Mahendra T. Bhati, MD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, will speak to the TMS Support Group of Chester County on December 11, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the West Chester United Methodist Church, located at 129 S. High Street in West Chester. The group serves as a support network for those who have been treated or are currently in treatment with TMS therapy. The informal meetings allow individuals to share their experiences with depression and TMS and they provide support to participants through their stories. The group also serves as a support system for family and friends who have experienced depression second-hand. The meetings also serve as a venue for those unfamiliar with TMS therapy to learn more the treatment from practitioners, as well as patients.
For more information about Dr. Bhati’s talk and the group, please call the sponsoring organization, the TMS Institute of Pennsylvania, at (610) –738-8671.
