    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

Water provision under GWI takes place in the context of securing the resource base and developing new or improved approaches to water management, and forms part of a larger framework for addressing poverty, power and inequalities that particularly affect the poorest populations. This means combining a practical focus on water and sanitation delivery with investments targeted at strengthening institutions, raising awareness and developing effective policies.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract That Most Perfidious Institution is a study of Africans - slaves and slave owners - and their central roles in both the expansion of slavery in the early nineteenth century and attempts to reform servile relationships in the late nineteenth century. The pivotal place of Africans can be seen in the interaction between indigenous slave-owning elites (aristocrats and urban Euro-African merchants), local European administrators, and slaves themselves. My approach to this problematic is both chronologically and geographically comparative. The central comparison between Senegal and the Gold Coast contrasts the varying impact of colonial policies, integration into the trans-Atlantic economy; and, more importantly, the continuity of indigenous institutions and the transformative agency of indigenous actors.

  • Conservation Agriculture in Senegal: Comparing the Effects of Intercropping and Mulching on Millet Yields
    Conservation agriculture in Senegal: comparing the effects of intercropping and mulching on millet yields Patrick J. Trail Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Crop & Soil Environmental Sciences A. Ozzie Abaye, Chair Thomas L. Thompson Wade E. Thomason January 30th, 2015 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Sahel, Senegal, Millet, Cowpea, Mungbean, Intercropping, Mulch, Conservation Agriculture Copyright 2015, Patrick J. Trail Conservation agriculture in Senegal: comparing the effects of intercropping and mulching on millet yields Patrick J. Trail Abstract Situated on the western edge of Africa’s harsh Sahel region, Senegal faces a number of agricultural production constraints. Limited rainfall, poor soil fertility, and insufficient agronomic inputs all contribute to low yielding millet production systems. This study was initiated to assess the potential for intercropping either cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) or mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) into traditional pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) cropping systems. During the 2013 and 2014 growing seasons two varieties of cowpea (upright and viney), and one variety of mungbean (upright) were grown in monoculture and subsequently intercropped with millet to evaluate the potential for increasing millet and overall yields. Millet was also planted with a mulch (2 t/ha of neem leaves) to test the effectiveness of increased ground cover on millet yields. In addition to yield data, soil moisture and plant NDVI data were also collected. Millet grain yields increased when intercropped with either cowpea or mungbean compared to millet that was grown alone, with grain yield increases of up to 55%.

  • Is GAFSP Reaching Small-Scale Food Producers in Senegal?
    Is GAFSP reaching small-scale food producers in Senegal? 1 Introduction: The GAFSP supported PASA Lou-Ma- Kaf in Senegal In Senegal, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty dropped from 55.2% in 2001 to 46.7% in 20111. Poverty remains high in rural areas (57.3%), where the majority of the 13 million Senegalese population lives. The deficit of productive jobs in rural areas is fueling an exodus of young people and women to urban centers both inside the country and abroad. Food insecurity remains high (16% of the population in 20142) and affects primarily farm households and poor families. Although contributing less than 13% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)3, the agricultural sector supports more than half of Senegal’s population. Less than 2% of the cultivated farmland is irrigated4. The livestock sub-sector employs about 3 million people and accounts for about 35% of the GDP in the agricultural sector5. Local grain production can cover only half of basic food needs, and the country imports 70% of its food6, particularly large quantities of white rice. The Food Security Support Project (PASA) in the regions of Louga, Matam and Kaffrine (Lou-Ma-Kaf) is receiving US$40 million from the public sector window of the multi-donor trust fund of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP). The Senegalese government’s contribution is US$5.8 million. This five-and-a-half-year project (2013-2018) aims to improve rural food security and incomes by facilitating access for small-scale producers, women, and their organizations to rural roads, agricultural and livestock infrastructures, as well as to technologies, services and specially adapted training.
