  • Bangui, Central African Republic
    CITIES IN CRISIS CONSULTATIONS - Bangui, Central African Republic MARCH 2016 INTRODUCTION Overview of Urban Consultations Bangui has been affected by violence and displacement over the past 4 years and currently hosts over 50,000 internally displaced people. By 2050 over 70% of the global population will live in urban areas. This accelerating urbanization trend is accompanied by an increasing vulnerability of cities to The crisis has put significant strain on municipal services, which have lacked the required resources and capacity to meet the evolving needs both natural and man-made disasters. More and more, humanitarian actors are of Bangui’s increasingly vulnerable population. As a consequence, the provision of basic services has become heavily reliant on international responding to urban crisis. They are however often badly equipped to understand humanitarian stakeholders. Due to a multiplicity of factors, linkages between humanitarian stakeholders and municipal actors have remained and effectively engage with cities’ complex socio-economic dynamics and weak, contributing to sub-optimal coordination and affecting the efficiency of humanitarian planning and targeting. With the recent elections governance structures. Recognizing these challenges, the World Humanitarian and a renewed hope for stability in the CAR, strengthening this linkage must become a priority in order to support the recovery effort and the Summit has mandated an Urban Expert Group to identify key recommendations for promoting better humanitarian response to urban crisis. re-establishment of municipal services. With a view of contributing to this discussion, IMPACT Initiatives and UCLG’s KEY FINDINGS Task Force On Local and Regional Government Disaster Response facilitated a series of consultations in six cities affected by natural or man-made disasters.

  • United Nations Nations Unies
    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs UN HUMANITARIAN CHIEF: “WE CAN SAVE LIVES IN DRC BUT CONFLICT MUST END” (Kinshasa /New York /Geneva, 9 March 2011): On the first day of her visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos, visited humanitarian projects in the North Kivu province, one of the worst affected by violence. Ms. Amos expressed her concern about the lack of protection for civilians, and emphasised the continuing need for humanitarian assistance. “The daily reality for many people in this province is immensely difficult. Armed men regularly attack villages, looting, raping, maiming, killing, kidnapping, and burning the villages before leaving,” Ms. Amos said. “This forces entire communities to live in a perpetual flight mode, relying on humanitarian assistance for their survival.” Since 2009, over half a million internally displaced people have returned to areas as they become more stable, but an even greater number have since been newly displaced elsewhere. Sexual violence, mostly committed by armed groups, remains a huge problem. Thousands of incidents are reported in North and South Kivu every year. “Sexual violence is only one symptom of a much deeper problem. Entire communities are being deprived of their right to a dignified life,” said Ms. Amos. Humanitarian operations are heavily affected by insecurity. In 2010, 200 incidents affecting humanitarian workers were recorded in the two provinces, compared to 179 during 2009. Over 80 per cent of these involved non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which are crucial partners of the United Nations in providing humanitarian aid.

  • An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade
    High Trade Costs and Their Consequences: An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade Obie Porteous Online Appendix A1 Data: Market Selection Table A1, which begins on the next page, includes two lists of markets by country and town population (in thousands). Population data is from the most recent available national censuses as reported in various online databases (e.g. citypopulation.de) and should be taken as approximate as census years vary by country. The \ideal" list starts with the 178 towns with a population of at least 100,000 that are at least 200 kilometers apart1 (plain font). When two towns of over 100,000 population are closer than 200 kilometers the larger is chosen. An additional 85 towns (italics) on this list are either located at important transport hubs (road junctions or ports) or are additional major towns in countries with high initial population-to-market ratios. The \actual" list is my final network of 230 markets. This includes 218 of the 263 markets on my ideal list for which I was able to obtain price data (plain font) as well as an additional 12 markets with price data which are located close to 12 of the missing markets and which I therefore use as substitutes (italics). Table A2, which follows table A1, shows the population-to-market ratios by country for the two sets of markets. In the ideal list of markets, only Nigeria and Ethiopia | the two most populous countries | have population-to-market ratios above 4 million. In the final network, the three countries with more than two missing markets (Angola, Cameroon, and Uganda) are the only ones besides Nigeria and Ethiopia that are significantly above this threshold.
