National NTD Program Overview Benin’s administrative and financial capital is Cotonou. In 1999, the country’s six political and administrative departments were reorganized into a total of 12 departments (Alibori, Atacora, Atlantique, Borgou, Collines, Couffo, Donga, Littoral, Mono, Ouémé, Plateau, and Zou). These departments (hereafter referred to as regions) are further subdivided into a total of 77 communes (hereafter referred to as districts), which are composed of a total of 546 arrondissements (boroughs, hereafter referred to as sub- districts) and 5,295 villages (population size can vary from 500 to 2,000). The Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for the initiation, planning, implementation, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the country’s health programs, with plans laid out in its National Health Development Plan, the current version of which covers the period 2017–2021. Facilities at the central (first) level of the health pyramid includes the Hubert Koutoukou Maga National University Hospital, the National Hospital of Respiratory Medicine, the National Psychiatric Center, the Gerontology Center, the Lagune Mother and Children’s Hospital, the Entomological Research Center, and the National Medical Laboratory, all located in Cotonou. At the intermediate level of the health pyramid, the country’s reorganization into 12 regions became effective in February 2017 with the nomination of a Departmental Director of Health for each region. Each region is subdivided into zones sanitaires (ZS - health zones). Each region is comprised of between two and four ZS for a total of 34 ZS across Benin. Each ZS is made up of one or more districts. Each health zone is supervised by a health zone head doctor (Médecin Coordonnateur de zone sanitaire [MCZS]) and is intended to consist of a network of first-line health facilities (village health units, stand-alone maternity wards, clinics, sub-district health centers), and private health facilities, all of which are supported by a health zone referral hospital (Hôpital de Zone [HdZ]). As of mid-July 2018, each of the 34 health zones has a focal point for neglected tropical diseases (NTD), based in one of the districts that make up their health zone. At the ZS level, the MOH has designated nurses to serve as NTD focal points; additionally, “Chargés de la Recherche et d’Appui à la Mobilisation Sociale” (C/RAMS) are in charge of social mobilization activities. The districts are the implementation units for public health activities. District Medical Officers are in charge of leading the activities implemented at this level and they also supervise nurses who are in charge of the sub-districts affiliated to that district. The health care sector also includes humanitarian organizations

  • GIEWS Country Brief Benin
    GIEWS Country Brief Benin Reference Date: 23-April-2020 FOOD SECURITY SNAPSHOT Planting of 2020 main season maize ongoing in south under normal moisture conditions Above-average 2019 cereal crop harvested Prices of coarse grains overall stable in March Pockets of food insecurity persist Start of 2020 cropping season in south follows timely onset of rains Following the timely onset of seasonal rains in the south, planting of yams was completed in March, while planting of the main season maize crop is ongoing and will be completed by the end of April. The harvest of yams is expected to start in July, while harvesting operations of maize will start in August. Planting of rice crops, to be harvested from August, is underway. The cumulative rainfall amounts since early March have been average to above average in most planted areas and supported the development of yams and maize crops, which are at sprouting, seedling and tillering stages. Weeding activities are normally taking place in most cropped areas. In the north, seasonal dry weather conditions are still prevailing and planting operations for millet and sorghum, to be harvested from October, are expected to begin in May-June with the onset of the rains. In April, despite the ongoing pastoral lean season, forage availability was overall satisfactory in the main grazing areas of the country. The seasonal movement of domestic livestock, returning from the south to the north, started in early March following the normal onset of the rains in the south. The animal health situation is generally good and stable, with just some localized outbreaks of seasonal diseases, including Trypanosomiasis and Contagious Bovine Peripneumonia.

    M. Mandarino/Istituto Euromediterraneo, Tempio Pausania (Sardinia) Land07-1Book 1.indb 97 12-07-2007 16:30:59 Demarcation conflicts within and between communities in Benin: identity withdrawals and contested co-existence African urban development policy in the 1990s focused on raising municipal income from land. Population growth and a neoliberal environment weakened the control of clans and lineages over urban land ownership to the advantage of individuals, but without eradicating the importance of personal relationships in land transactions or of clans and lineages in the political structuring of urban space. The result, especially in rural peripheries, has been an increase in land aspirations and disputes and in their social costs, even in districts with the same territorial control and/or the same lines of nobility. Some authors view this simply as land “problems” and not as conflicts pitting locals against outsiders and degenerating into outright clashes. However, decentralization gives new dimensions to such problems and is the backdrop for clashes between differing perceptions of territorial control. This article looks at the ethnographic features of some of these clashes in the Dahoman historic region of lower Benin, where boundaries are disputed in a context of poorly managed urban development. Such disputes stem from land registries of the previous but surviving royal administration, against which the fragile institutions of the modern state seem to be poorly equipped. More than a simple problem of land tenure, these disputes express an internal rejection of the legitimacy of the state to engage in spatial structuring based on an ideal of co-existence; a contestation that is put forward with the de facto complicity of those acting on behalf of the state.

Two types of red palm oils are produced with the fruits of the palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). These are the standard palm oil and flavored quality palm oil whose different production technologies are purely traditional. This study aims to make a technological study of the different technologies used to produce "zomi" flavored palm oil in the high production areas in Benin. For this reason, a questionnaire was used to ask each of 220 "zomi" producers in four (4) departments.

    Online Appendix to “Can Informed Public Deliberation Overcome Clientelism? Experimental Evidence from Benin” by Thomas Fujiwara and Leonard Wantchekon 1. List of Sample Villages Table A1 provides a list of sample villages, with their experimental and dominant can- didates. 2. Results by Commune/Stratum Table A2.1-A2.3 presents the results by individual commune/stratum. 3. Survey Questions and the Clientelism Index Table A3.1 provides the estimates for each individual component of the clientelism index, while Table A3.2 details the questions used in the index. 4. Treatment Effects on Candidate Vote Shares Table A4 provides the treatment effect on each individual candidate vote share. 5. Estimates Excluding Communes where Yayi is the EC Table A5 reports results from estimations that drop the six communes where Yayi is the EC. Panel A provides estimates analogous from those of Table 2, while Panels B and C report estimates that are similar to those of Table 3. The point estimates are remarkably similar to the original ones, even though half the sample has been dropped (which explains why some have a slight reduction in significance). 1 6. Estimates Including the Commune of Toffo Due to missing survey data, all the estimates presented in the main paper exclude the commune of Toffo, the only one where Amoussou is the EC. However, electoral data for this commune is available. This allows us to re-estimate the electoral data-based treatment effects including the commune. Table A6.1 re-estimates the results presented on Panel B of Table 2. The qualitative results remain the same.

  • Indirect Exposure to Colonial Education and Intergenerational
    The Strength of Weak Ties: Indirect Exposure to Colonial Education and Intergenerational Mobility in Benin ⇤ Leonard Wantchekon† April 12, 2019 Abstract We use historical micro-level data from the first regional schools in colonial Benin to esti- mate the e↵ect of education on social mobility over three generations. Since school location and student cohorts were selected quasi-randomly, the e↵ect of education can be estimated by comparing the treated to the untreated living in the same village as well as those from villages with no school (Wantchekon et al. [2015]). We find positive treatment e↵ects of education on social mobility across three generations. Surprisingly, the e↵ect is strongest for descendants of grandparents who were exposed to education only through their social networks (the untreated living in villages with a school). We interpret this result as evidence of “the strength of weak ties” (Grannoveter [1977]). Finally, exploring the underlying mechanism of our results, we find that mobility from the first to the second generation is driven by parental aspiration, which is sustained by the risk attitudes and mobility of the third generation. ⇤This paper was prepared for the NYU Development Research Institute success project. I would like to thank James Hollyer, James Feigenbaum, James Habyarimana, Nathan Nunn, Dozie Okoye, Marc Ratkovic, Matthew Salganik, Stellios Michalopoulos, Marcella Alsan, and conference participants at ASE (SIER), Brown, George Washington University, NYU, Princeton, Toulouse School of Economics, Stanford University, and World Bank for comments. I would also like to thank the research team of Institute for Empirical Research in Political Economy (IERPE) in Benin, especially Romuald Anago, Kassim Assouma, Benjamin Dji↵a, Andre Gueguehoun, and Clement Litchegbe, for leading the data collection.

To control the disease in an area, it is important to know the geographical distribution. In this study, spatial distribution of porcine cysticercosis in southern Benin was performed. By using the number of partial organ seizures at meat inspection, the study has revealed high risks of porcine cysticercosis in administrative districts of Aplahoue, Dogbo, Klouekanme and Lokossa. The proportion of seizures ranged from 0.06% for neck muscles to 0.69% for tongues.
