    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Freetown, Sierra Leone – The center strives to capitalize in-country Civil Society Organizations with existing data to endorse for and improve gender equality and enable researchers and the media to monitor and analyze women’s participation and representation in public leadership.

    “This launch notes the advent of the EJS Center Data Hub, which is working towards giving data
    for the whole African Continent and aspires to be the exclusive destination for data on the current state of women’s leadership in Africa,” a release from the EJS center stated.

    According to the statement, accessing detailed and credible data on women’s public leadership has been questioning. And this urged the establishment of the hub with a preliminary priority on the West African Countries Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Togo.

    “The hub provides data on women’s representation in the legislative, executive and judicial branches of their respective countries. It collates data collected by teams of interregional researchers, which is not readily available on any other public databases. The Hub also features
    detailed insights on the representation of women in cabinets, on high courts, gender quotas and
    gender-sensitive legislation.”

    The Center speculates that, in a bid to champion for considerable representation of women in decision-making bodies in public governance, the public and CSOs must adequately comprehend
    the current statistics of women that are in leadership positions.

    EJS Center’s Executive Director, Dr. Ophelia I. Weeks, said: “Only when we know where we stand can we chart a path forward. The EJS Center’s Data Hub is the first tool that focus specifically on the
    Former President of Liberia Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the founder of the EJS Center, added: “Data can be transformative. I sincerely hope the Center’s Data Hub will draw people’s awareness to the low representation of women leaders in public leadership and also empower both men and women globally to take action to ensure equal representation at all levels.” Erstwhile President of Liberia who doubles as the founder of EJS Center noted.

    Current Outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Disease- Coronavirus advisory information, World Health Organization & United States, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

    Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.

    Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

    Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

    Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. Source- WHO
