REPUBLIQUE DE GUINEE MINISTERE DE LA SANTE ======= BUREAU DE STRATEGIE ET DE DEVELOPPEMENT ======= Division Information Sanitaire et Recherche ======= Section Statistique et Information Sanitaire (SSIS) ANNUAIRE STATISTIQUE SANITAIRE 2017 PREFACE Le Ministère de la Santé, pour assurer le suivi des indicateurs de performances de son système de santé, a mis en place un système National d’information sanitaire (SNIS). Ce dispositif comporte les aspects en rapport avec la capacité du système de santé, les ressources, le processus, les produits, les résultats de santé (couverture des prestations de service essentielles) et l’impact de la charge de morbidité des principales pathologies. La présente édition de l’annuaire statistique sanitaire montre le portrait de notre système de santé au cours de l’année 2017 à travers les différents indicateurs retenus pour le suivi de la politique nationale de santé. Il donne le niveau des indicateurs par structure de santé (DPS, DRS, CMC, hôpital préfectoral, régional et national). Les résultats montrent des insuffisances à prendre en compte dans la mise en place des reformes sur le plan de l’équité d’accès et les résultats des interventions en général. Je saisis cette occasion pour remercier les partenaires techniques et financiers qui ont contribué de façon substantielle à la production de ce rapport et à l’amélioration de l’état de santé de nos populations. J’invite tous les acteurs du système de santé et l’ensemble des utilisateurs de faire bon usage de ce document qui constitue la référence officielle du département en matière de statistiques sanitaires.

College of Humanities and development study, China Agricultural University PO box 100083, Beijing Haidian, Qinghua DongLu, P.R. China 2. Higher agricultural and veterinary institute of Faranah, Republic of Guinea, 3. Institute of Development studies (IDS). Mzumbe University, Morogoro, Tanzania * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Rice occupies a special place in West African food systems. It differs from other basic foodstuffs in the rapid growth of its consumption and the resulting increased dependence on the global market. Imports represent on average half of the consumption of rice over the past two decades. This cereal has become a major issue in the formulation of food policies in Guinea. This research focused on qualitative data collected by using participatory approaches. Historical profile, map of area, polarization diagram, Venn diagram, Semi structured interview (ISS), Transect, Seasonal calendar, Life line, polarization grid, analysis grid of constraints, and pyramid of the constraints were tools engaged. This research was carried out to list and analyze all the constraints related to rice growing and its rise in Faranah prefecture from the perspectives of different stakeholders engaged in rice production. Specifically it aimed to identify the main constraints and challenges related to rice production, analyze these constraints and challenges in terms of profitability and income of rice actors and propose solutions to improve rice production and income of farmers.

China 2.Higher agricultural and veterinary institute of Faranah, Republic of Guinea 3.College of Engineering, China agricultural University Abstract Africa’s inability to achieve rice self-sufficiency is the result of major constraints in the entire chain of the rice production industry. The study aims to carry out the participatory diagnosis analysis for rice income sector in order to stimulate the yield improvement to stabilize food security. The study was carried out in rural commune of Banian through eleven villages. Data were collected through intensive survey of randomly selected 343 respondents using gross margin analysis and descriptive analysis whiting participatory method. The diagnosis included the producers and rice processors (buyer-steamers and shellers). Assessing these three producer categories, it was indicated that the net income of rice farmers is 140, 313 and 772 US$/ha based on the small, medium and large farming scales respectively and 1.13, 1.14 and1.21 respectively as average benefit cost ratio (BCR) of each producer category.
