1 Guinea Country Profile 1 Guinea Country Profile Generic Information: Guinea (pronunciation: ni), officially the Republic of Guinea (French: République de Guinée), is a country in West Africa. Formerly known as French Guinea (French: Guinée française), the modern country is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry in order to distinguish it from other parts of the wider region of the same name, such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea. Guinea has a population of 10.5 million and an area of 245,860 square kilometres (94,927 mi2). Guinea is a republic. The president is directly elected by the people and is head of state and head of government. The unicameral Guinean National Assembly is the legislative body of the country, and its members are also directly elected by the people. The judicial branch is led by the Guinea Supreme Court, the highest and final court of appeal in the country. Guinea is a predominantly Islamic country, with Muslims representing 85 percent of the population. Guinea's people belong to twenty-four ethnic groups. French, the official language of Guinea, is the main language of communication in schools, in government administration, in the media, and among the country's security forces, but more than twenty-four indigenous languages are also spoken. Guinea's economy is largely dependent on agriculture and mineral production. It is the world's second largest producer of bauxite, and has rich deposits of diamonds and gold.

Nous croyons aux vertus de la coopération décentralisée: elle est un moyen précieux pour favoriser les échanges entre peuples qui partagent les mêmes valeurs de solidarité internationale. En Guinée, Kouroussa est située à 582 km de la capitale, Conakry et à 83 km de Kankan, la deuxième ville du pays. Riche en eau et en or, il existe d’importantes activités minières sur le territoire. Chef-lieu de la préfecture, la ville a été érigée en commune urbaine en 1991. Le conseil communal, composé de 23 élus, que j’ai l’honneur de présider, a été installé le 29 octobre 2019 pour un mandat de 5 ans. Notre ambition est de renforcer notre capacité de mobilisation des ressources locales, d'ouvrir notre ville au monde et bâtir des projets de coopération sur les grands enjeux du développement durable. Nous souhaitons un partenariat qui profite à l'agriculture dont vit 90% de notre population. Une coopération qui favorise l’émergence d’une ville durable, les échanges d'idées, de savoirs et de savoir-faire. Les potentiels de rapprochement entre Kouroussa et les communes françaises ou étrangères sont inestimables notamment dans le domaine de la culture, de l'éducation, la santé, la démocratie participative, la promotion et la défense des droits des femmes et des 1 MOT DU MAIRE DE KOUROUSSA enfants.

  • UNMEER) External Situation Report 22 January 2015
    UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) External Situation Report 22 January 2015 KEY POINTS World Bank report forecast higher economic loses for affected countries SE Nabarro provides an updated ONR in global efforts to stop Ebola Border surveillance initiatives intensify Key Political and Economic Developments 1. In a World Bank Report prepared for the 2015 World Economic Forum in Davos, the Bank acknowledged progress made in slowing the EVD transmission rate, but cautioned that recent efforts have likely reduced the impact of Ebola on the African economy perhaps from USD 30 billion to USD 6 billion. The report noted that most of these losses are forecasted to hit the affected countries. 2. In Davos, Switzerland, Special Envoy David Nabarro provided an updated Overview of Needs and Requirements in the global efforts to stop Ebola. The financial needs for the first six month of 2015 amount to 1.5 billion USD. Almost 500 million USD is already available and the appeal is now for the gap of 1 billion USD. Response Efforts and Health 3. Between 14 and 16 January, UNFPA provided 100 dignity kits (a kit contains a mattress, a set of hygiene supplies and a set of IPC supplies) to 100 female Ebola survivors and widows in Bomi County, Liberia. Similarly, 150 dignity kits were provided to survivors and widows in Grand Cape Mount County. Prior to this, UNFPA had provided expanded kits to 1,000 survivors of Ebola and SGBV in 21 districts in 10 counties. The expanded kits also include food items (500 bags of rice (25 kg), 6,000 energy drinks and non-food items (beddings and clothes)).

  • Use of Sentinel Sites for Community-Based Surveillance in Guinea
    REFLECTION Ebola Transmission Prevention Two Years into the Post-Ebola Period: Use of Sentinel Sites for Community-Based Surveillance in Guinea INTRODUCTION The Ebola outbreak of 2014–16 in West Africa has been called a “public health emergency of international concern” by the World Health Organization, one of only four such emergencies in the last decade. Much of the world was mobilized to assist the three most- affected countries—Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone—to stop the spread of the virus and implement measures to prevent Ebola resurgence. In March 2014, the first Ebola cases were confirmed in the eastern region of Guinea, with the virus quickly spreading across the borders with Liberia and Sierra Leone. By the time the outbreak was contained, there had been 28,616 cases in the three countries; in Guinea alone, there were 3,814 cases, of which 2,544 resulted in death (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).1 The epidemic caused global concern as individuals with Ebola traveled to and were identified in seven countries across three continents. International travel around the world was significantly affected, and transmission concerns triggered policy decisions by countries seeking to protect their citizens. Sentinel site committees in 60 communities across Guinea meet weekly to monitors the health and well- being of Ebola survivors.

MCHIP supports programming in maternal, newborn and child health, immunization, family planning, malaria, nutrition, and HIV/AIDS, and strongly encourages opportunities for integration. Cross-cutting technical areas include water, sanitation, hygiene, urban health and health systems strengthening. MCHIP brings together a partnership of organizations with demonstrated success in reducing maternal, newborn and child mortality rates and malnutrition. Each partner will take the lead in developing programs around specific technical areas: Jhpiego, as the Prime, will lead maternal health, family planning/reproductive health, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT); JSI—child health, immunization, and pediatric AIDS; Save the Children—newborn health, community interventions for MNCH, and community mobilization; PATH—nutrition and health technology; JHU/IIP—research and evaluation; Broad Branch—health financing; PSI—social marketing; and ICF International—continues support for the Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) and the Malaria Communities Program (MCP).
