Canadian PM in Tanzania

Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a $105-million contribution to improve the health of children in Africa as he arrived in Tanzania Monday morning.

-


The Canadian-led project, Initiative to Save a Million Lives, will train 40,000 health workers and provide treatment for ailments from measles to malaria, with a focus on children and mothers.

-


The donation marks one-fifth of the cost of the $500-million project.

-


Other partners in the project include Microsoft founder Bill Gates, UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the World Bank and several other countries, including Norway.

-


Harper made the announcement after a luncheon with Tanzanian President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete.

-


"Once fully implemented, the initiative will save over 500 children's lives daily," he said. "Canada has the lead role."

-


Earlier, Harper was greeted at an airport by hundreds of dancers, musicians and soldiers on parade.

-


He then toured an elementary school classroom nearby where they sang for him and recited the names of animals in English.

-


Tanzania is one of Africa's most well-established democracies, but also one of its poorest. Since 1960, it has received more than $1 billion in Canadian aid money.

-


"One of the reasons the Prime Minister's Office says that Harper came here was to reward in a way that continued stability and good governance and really highlight the importance of that among developing countries," said CBC's James Cudmore, reporting from Dar es Salaam.

-


Harper's one-day visit to Tanzania is the last leg of his trip to Africa and follows the wrap-up of this year's Commonwealth summit in neighbouring Uganda.

Death To The New World Order

While lecturing at the elitist TED 2010 conference in Long Beach, CA, Bill Gates slipped a statement while speaking on the dangers of climate change and over population: “Vaccines?
