  • Business Ethics As Field of Training, Teaching and Research in Francophone Africa
    Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Original Business Ethics as field of training, teaching and Article research in Francophone Africa Liboire Kagabo Department of African Languages and Literature, University of Burundi, Burundi ABSTRACT This article has been written within the framework of the Global Survey of Business Ethics 2010. It is seemingly the first attempt to investigate Business Ethics as academic field in Francophone Africa. After a discussion of methodological considerations, the article provides an overview of how Business Ethics is distributed in Francophone Africa. Even though, it is not well established in that part of Africa, some interesting data have been found in some countries like Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Rwanda and Senegal. Business Ethics has been investigated in three areas: teaching, training and research. In Francophone Africa, teaching Business Ethics does not seem to be a reality in traditional faculties of Economics, Management or Commerce. Training in Business Ethics, however, is a reality in Francophone Africa, notably with the non-governmental organizations that deal with political and economic governance, development, and women and gender issues. Research on Business Ethics can be found in journals, bulletins, consultancy reports, university term papers, seminars and colloquia as well as in books. Key words: Business Ethics, Teaching, Training, Research, Francophone Africa INTRODUCTION Madagascar. For the purpose of the survey some French speaking countries in West For the purpose of the Global Survey of Africa, namely Cameroun, Tchad, Niger, Business Ethics 2010, the world was divided Benin and Togo was however included in into nine world regions, one of which was the the West African region.

  • Land Reform in Burundi: Waiting for Change After Twenty Years of Fruitless Debate
    Dominik Kohlhagen [email protected] Land reform in Burundi: Waiting for change after twenty years of fruitless debate INTRODUCTION Burundi is a landlocked country in East Africa, neighboring Rwanda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo. With its 8,5 million inhabitants living on 28,000 square kilometres, it is comparable in size and inhabitants to Belgium or Catalonia. In Africa, it is the second most densely populated country after Rwanda. Its economy heavily depends on the agricultural sector and relies to a large extent on subsistence farming. Since independence from Belgium in 1962, Burundi has experienced several outbreaks of violence. Important interethnic massacres occurred in 1965, 1969, 1972, 1988 and 1991. Between 1993 and 2005, a civil war has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. At all these occasions, people were displaced or had to seek refuge in neighboring countries, leaving behind their land and livestock. Following a relative political and military stabilization, many refugees have recently returned to Burundi and are now trying to recover their land. Demands for land or compensation by returning refugees are currently adding to many other problems caused by land scarcity and inappropriate land laws. The current land code of Burundi, which was promulgated only in 1986, is mainly a compilation of former colonial laws and retained most of the shortcomings of preceding texts. Under the 1986 code, the country saw a significant increase in land conflicts and many illegal land allocations. A reform of the land code has been discussed by government officials and international donors since the 1990s. But up to now, all these discussions proved fruitless.

At its fifth meeting (Buenos Aires, 1985), the Conference of the Parties adopted Resolution Conf. 5.12, "Trade in Ivory from African Elephants", establishing new procedures for the control of international trade in ivory from African elephants. These procedures are collectively referred to as the "ivory export quota system", and the key element is the opportunity for establishment of an annual ivory export quota by each state having a population of African elephants and wishing to export raw ivory. 2. Non-Party producer states may also submit an export quota, and any non-Party wishing to import, export or re-export raw ivory must meet all requirements of the Resolution. Unless a non-Party has informed to the contrary, it is assumed to be not conforming with the requirements. 3. The Secretariat was directed to co-ordinate the implementation of the system including maintaining a central database, receiving annual quotas from producer countries and circulating them, preparing a manual of procedures for implementing the system and providing advice on the conservation status of African elephants. An implementation manual, "Ivory Trade Control Procedures", was written by the Secretariat and distributed to all Party and non-Party countries in November 1985. The report, "Establishment of African Ivory Export Quotas and Associated Control Procedures" prepared by Rowan B.
