#mechanisms
Draft continental #strategy on free movement developed
Free Movement of Persons is an integral part of the #African #integration and along with the African #Passport is one of the flagship projects of #Agenda #2063.
Pursuant to this goal of integration, in January 2018 the Protocol to the Treaty establishing the African #Economic #Community relating to free movement of persons, right of residence and right of establishment was adopted by the #AU Assembly. This was followed in March 2018 with the Agreement Establishing the African Free #Trade Area, the Protocol on Trade in #Goods, the Protocol on #Trade in #Services and the Protocol on Rules and #Procedures on the #Settlement of #Disputes.
As a follow up to this, the #AfricanUnion (AU) and the Regional Economic Communities ( #RECs ) have developed a draft joint continental strategy to accelerate the Right of Entry for the Protocol to the treaty establishing the African Economic Communities relating to the Free Movement of Persons, Right of Residence and Right of Establishment. The strategy aims to ensure that RECs and Member States popularise and promote the adopted African Passport as one of the key #mechanisms through which free movement of persons will be realised.

Excellent talk by Iain McGilchrist, with so many deep insights into how "mechanisms" destroy personal authenticity, common sense, spontaneity and humanity in our lives. Deeply true.
We must fight to maintain the remnants of unmechanised interaction. In our work, in our personal lives.
Mastodon to me is one small but important part of that battle.

With the usual #statistician’s caveat that #causality is really hard to sort out in data like this even with good #controls … yes, I believe this. And the #mechanisms aren’t hard to find, either.

Never used the bird, ran from the faceplant and tightly constrain other social. Watched #Explore here for a bit and found interesting and welcoming positivity. Hoping to find a community to exchange and discuss ideas.

Some of these everyday things in our life are #designed in extremely clever ways that simply #learning how it works can blow your mind. This #video is an example of that, and it #explains all of the #mechanisms involved in such a simple and intuitive way that anyone could understand it. Definitely one of the best #explainer #videos I've seen.
