This issue of the Zambia Social Science Journal ranges in scope from a historical account of African traditional midwives in colonial Ghana to election regulations and law in Zambia and, finally, to residential solid waste generation in Uganda. The first article, African Traditional Midwives and the Transformation of Midwifery in Colonial Ghana, by Nana Akua Amponsah, explores the contest between African traditional midwives and colonial health officials in the changes in midwifery practices from the mid-1920s to the end of colonial rule in Ghana. Amoponsah shows that, while there were no open confrontations between the two sides, African traditional midwives contested the colonial attempt to displace them from their work through the social and economic nature of their work, and managed to frustrate the colonial governments agenda of reconstructing reproduction in the country. In the second article, The African Charter on Democracy and Governance: An Elections Checklist on Zambia, OBrien Kaaba discusses how Zambia, a state party to the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance (ACDEG), measures up to its standards, taking Article 17, which is the main provision governing the conduct of elections, as an example. Kaaba demonstrates that Zambia falls short of the benchmarks set in the Article and should, therefore, begin to work to reform its laws and institutions in order to comply with the standards of the ACDEG. In the final article, Margaret Banga examines Determinants of Residential Solid Waste Generation in an African City: The Case of Kampala. Bangas study identifies the variables that influence per capita residential solid waste generation in Kampala, using data from 468 households. Using the parameter estimates from the model, Banga estimates the quantity of residential solid waste that is generated. The results show that per capita residential solid waste generation is positively driven by per capita income, payment for door-to-door solid waste collection services, and whether a household lives in a house with a yard, and that it is negatively influenced by household size and age composition.
