CONSEIL SUPÉRIEUR DE LA COMMUNICATION C.S.C. Réguler dans la transparence, l’équité et en toute indépendance ANNUAIRE DES MÉDIAS DES JOURNALISTES ET DES ORGANISATIONS SOCIOPROFESSIONNELLES DES MÉDIAS DU NIGER Impression : Imp. N.T.I - Tél. : 20 73 92 18 DES MÉDIAS DES JOURNALISTES ET DES ORGANISATIONS SOCIOPROFESSIONNELLES DES MÉDIAS DU NIGER Édition 2020 Annuaire des médias, des journalistes et des organisations socioprofessionnelles des médias du Niger 1 L’annuaire des médias, des journalistes et des organisations socioprofessionnelles des médias du Niger a été élaboré par une équipe du CSC composée de : - M. Mamane Abdou DJAFFAROU, Conseiller, membre du CSC ; - M. Souleymane ANZA, Secrétaire Général du CSC ; - M. Laoual Sallaou ISMAEL, Conseiller Technique du Président du CSC ; - Mme Mélé KARIMA Adamou Salao, Directrice de la communication, de la documentation, des archives et de la publication du CSC - M. Maliki KARIMOUN, Directeur des Infrastructures Techniques et des Autorisations ; - Mme Samir KADIDJA Barmou, Chef service Communication et Relations Publiques du CSC ; - M. Brah SOULEYMANE, Représentant de la Maison de la Presse. 2 Annuaire des médias, des journalistes et des organisations socioprofessionnelles des médias du Niger Avant-propos ’avènement du pluralisme politique, au début des années 90, a entraîné la perte du monopole Lde l’Etat sur les moyens de communication et subséquemment la libéralisation du paysage médiatique nigérien. C’est ainsi que plusieurs journaux, radios et télévisions privés ont vu le jour, à l’initiative des professionnels ou des opérateurs économiques. L’élargissement du paysage médiatique s’est poursuivi inexorablement, en dépit des péripéties qui ont émaillé le processus démocratique. Ce pluralisme médiatique a permis de renforcer la liberté de la presse, de la communication audiovisuelle, d’expression, d’opinion et le droit des citoyens à l’information. Ce faisant, la presse nigérienne dans sa diversité a contribué à la consolidation de la démocratie et de l’Etat de droit. Dans cette entreprise, le Conseil Supérieur de la Communication a opéré un choix : celui de dresser un état des lieux réel et actuel des médias nigériens. De ce fait, s’agissant de la presse écrite, seuls les journaux ayant paru en 2019 et 2020 et qui ont effectué le dépôt légal auprès du CSC ont été inventoriés. Quant à l’audiovisuel, seules les radios et télévisions qui émettent régulièrement au cours de la même période ont été recensées. En ce qui concerne les journalistes, seuls ceux détenteurs de la carte de presse de journaliste professionnel délivrée par le CSC, entre 2019 et 2020, figurent sur le répertoire. Cet aperçu a été complété par une liste des organisations socioprofessionnelles des médias (associations, unions, syndicats, réseaux etc.) L’élaboration de cet annuaire procède de la volonté du CSC de faciliter aux usagers leurs relations avec les médias et les journalistes, en mettant à leur disposition un outil de référence. Elle découle également du souci de disposer d’une base de données initiale des médias et des journalistes, qui peut être mise à jour périodiquement, en fonction de l’évolution du secteur. Cet annuaire des médias et des journalistes est le fruit du partenariat avec la coopération danoise, par le biais du projet « Gouv DDH Gouvernance Droit de l’Homme », mis en œuvre par OXFAM IBIS. Que tous ces partenaires techniques et financiers trouvent ici l’expression de la profonde gratitude du CSC. En espérant que cet annuaire facilitera davantage vos interactions avec les médias et les journalistes nigériens, je vous souhaite un très bon usage.

    88 Le Tazartche Ou Autopsie D'un Coup D'etat

    LE TAZARTCHE OU AUTOPSIE D’UN COUP D’ETAT CONSTITUTIONNEL PROGRAMME AU NIGER Abdoulaye SEIDOU Département de Sociologie Université Abdou Moumouni de Niamey (Niger) E-Mail: [email protected] Résumé L'article tente de décrypter le phénomène politique inédit au Niger, appelé Tazartché. Ce slogan signifie «continuité» ou «prolongation» en haoussa, la langue majoritaire. Il est utilisé par les partisans de l'ex- Président de la République, Tandja Mamadou, comme une invite à rester au pouvoir au-delà de son mandat légal. Il a muté en «coup d’Etat constitutionnel», assimilable, dans sa démarche, au bonapartisme. Quelles sont les causes de ce phénomène? Quelles en sont les péripéties? Quel en est l’épilogue? Tels sont les principaux questionnements de la problématique. L'étude, est une exploitation de divers documents (textes juridiques, journaux, émissions radiophoniques et télévisées…), d’entretiens avec des personnes (favorables ou opposées à l’entreprise) et de données d’observation. Elle analyse les discours et les actes des différents protagonistes (pouvoir, opposition politique, société civile, communauté internationale). Elle esquisse une explication des stratégies, multiples et multiformes, mises en œuvre par les différents camps pour parvenir à leurs fins. Ce travail montre que la confiscation du pouvoir d’Etat par des voies non démocratiques n’est pas l’apanage des militaires. Son intérêt scientifique réside dans l’examen du contexte (relative stabilité politique) de manifestation de l’opération et de la nature de ses initiateurs (animateurs et bénéficiaires de la démocratie). Cette contribution s’inscrit dans une approche nouvelle d’appréhension de la problématique de la lutte pour le contrôle du pouvoir d’Etat en Afrique, particulièrement au Niger.

Ali Yedan1* and Danni Abdoulaye Oumarou2 1Ph.D. in Economics, Economic Commission for Africa. 2Ingenieur Statisticien Economiste, Institut Danni Search, Niamey, Niger. Accepted 27 November, 2018 ABSTRACT This paper aims to assess the impact of the parents' education on the progeny schooling using the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data of Niger. It focuses on verifying whether the mothers' education better impacts the children schooling, and therefore measures the intergenerational efficiency of the pro girls schooling policies in the case of Niger. The results prove that the education of female today could lead to a significant increase in the education of the children of tomorrow. However, this rise is slightly (or even not significant according to econometric models) lower than the rise due to the education of male. Furthermore, having both parents educated and uneducated have respectively strongly positively and negatively significant impact on the probabilities that their children go to school. Therefore, with the goal of an education system dynamically efficient, there is a necessity not to neglect the endeavors and political decisions for male in Niger. Any prioritization of one sex over the other is not justified in a mid or long-term vision, especially females' one over males. Keywords: Parental education, intergenerational impact, prioritization, probability of schooling. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected]. INTRODUCTION Niger is a West African country which population is education on the progeny schooling.

In 2004 voters elected Mamadou Tandja to a second five-year presidential term in an election that international observers deemed generally free and fair. The ruling coalition of the National Movement for the Development of Society (MNSD) and the Democratic and Social Convention (CDS), joined by four other parties, won a majority of national assembly seats. President Tandja's second--and final, due to constitutional limits--five-year term was due to expire on December 22, 2009; however, he organized a controversial referendum that established the Sixth Republic and allowed him to remain in office for three additional years and that eliminated the term-limits provision, although this provision was specifically prohibited from revision in the 1999 constitution. To consolidate the power needed to approve these changes, President Tandja dissolved the National Assembly and the Constitutional Court, modified the electoral code, restricted basic freedoms, curtailed press freedom, and granted himself emergency powers to rule by decree and executive order. In 2007 the Tuareg rebel group Nigerien Movement for Justice (MNJ) launched a series of attacks against military and strategic installations in the north.

    Improving the Quality of Education for Children from Rural Communities in Niger

    Improving the quality of education for children from rural communities in Niger April 2014 to March 2015 FINAL REPORT YEAR 3 0F A 3 YEAR PROJECT Background In Niger, over one million children do not go to school, of whom three quarters are girls. As a result, less than a third of the adult population can read or write. This is a significant cause of poverty; Niger is now the world‟s least developed country. Poverty itself then further prevents the provision of education, as families are forced to send their children to work rather than to school to earn much needed money, and teachers often lack vital training and resources. A group of students examine the hygiene kits at Pétel Kollé School, Bankilaré. The Project Photo: Daouda Mounkaila/Timidria.
