  • The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA)
    The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA) Moving Forward Financing for Africa’s Infrastructure I. Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships for infrastructure transformation 1. We, African Heads of State and Government, Ministers and representatives of African countries, Regional Economic Communities, leading business, investment and private sector organizations, development finance institutions as well as development partner institutions, met in Dakar, Senegal on 15 June 2014 at the Financing Summit for Africa’s Infrastructure, to build and strengthen innovative synergies between the public and private sectors towards mobilizing pan-African and global financial investments for infrastructure development in the continent. 2. The Dakar Financing Summit was held under the distinguished leadership of His Excellency Macky SALL, President of the Republic of Senegal and Chairperson of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). The Summit was preceded by a Preparatory Forum on 14 June. 3. Noting that infrastructure development remains a key driver and a critical enabler for sustainable growth in Africa, we reaffirm that the current favourable economic landscape in the continent provides unique opportunity to collectively address the infrastructure deficit by financing critical national and regional high impact projects. Addressing Africa’s infrastructure gaps will help in creating the economic pre-conditions needed for longer-term growth enshrined in the goals of African Union and NEPAD. 4. Acknowledging Africa’s steady growth in the past decade, its much improved macro-economic performance and public finance management which helped in withstanding the impact of the global economic crisis, we re-emphasize the paramount need for the growth impact to be geared towards social inclusiveness and competitiveness through infrastructure modernization.

  • FS METEOR Reise 65, 2. Fahrtabschnitt Dakar-Las Palmas 1
    FS METEOR Reise 65, 2. Fahrtabschnitt Dakar-Las Palmas 1. Wochenbericht, 04.07-11.07.05 Auf unserer Meteorreise M65/2 sollen Muster des Massentransportes am NW-Afrikanischen Kontinentalhang untersucht werden. Arbeiten sind vor allem in zwei Gebieten geplant. Ziel der Arbeiten südlich von Dakar (Senegal) ist es, ein Modell zu entwickeln, das die Transportdynamik vom Flachwasser in die Tiefsee an einem Canyon-dominierten Ozeanrand beschreibt. Im Bereich des Cap Timiris Canyons (Mauretanien) soll durch eine Analyse der Sedimenttransportbahnen und der zeitlichen Variabilität lokaler sedimentärer Prozesse die Entstehungsgeschichte des Canyons gezielt untersucht werden. Dinoflagellatenzysten werden im gesamten Arbeitsgebiet analysiert. Zusätzlich werden vor Cap Blanc Verankerungsarbeiten durchgeführt. Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, haben sich für diesen Abschnitt Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Amerika, England, den Niederlanden, Marokko, ein Beobachter aus dem Senegal sowie Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter des DFG Forschungszentrums Ozeanränder der Universität Bremen an Bord der Meteor eingeschifft. Als der Großteil der Gruppe am 02.07. abends in Dakar ankam, waren die Container bereits an Bord, so dass wir am 04.07. im Laufe des Vormittages planmäßig auslaufen konnten. Vorbei an der Ile de Gorée, heute Weltkulturerbe und früher Umschlagstelle von Menschen, bevor sie als Sklaven über den Atlantik verschifft wurden, begann das wissenschaftliche Programm nach Verlassen der 3-Meilen-Zone mit dem Anschalten der hydroakustischen Systeme der Meteor. Ursprünglich wollten wir auch Arbeiten vor Guinea-Bissau durchführen, für die wir leider keine Forschungsgenehmigung erhalten haben. Daher haben wir in der ersten Woche den nicht minder interessanten Kontinentalhang südlich von Dakar bis zur Grenze Guinea-Bissaus mit seismischen und hydroakustischen Methoden kartiert, deren Ergebnisse auch als Grundlage für die Auswahl von Kernstationen dienten.

Major issues and challenges include: The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has reached a critical juncture, marked by a precarious security situation, persistence of pockets of community resistance/ mistrust and expanding geographical spread of the disease. During the reporting week, there was an incident involving a response team performing burial activity in Butembo. This came barely days following a widespread community strike (“ville morte”) in Beni and several towns, and an earlier armed attack in Beni. These incidents severely disrupted most outbreak control interventions. Meanwhile, EVD cases have been confirmed in new areas with worse insecurity and in close proximity to the border with Uganda.

  • Investing in Peace and the Prevention of Violence in the Sahel-Sahara: Third Regional Conversations
    Investing in Peace and the Prevention of Violence in the Sahel-Sahara: Third Regional Conversations SEPTEMBER 2018 Introduction Regional security responses to violent extremism in the Sahel-Sahara are necessary, but have been limited in their scope and efficacy. This is in part because they have historically addressed the symptoms of violence rather than the holistic range of factors that incite and foster it. Violence and violent extremism are complex phenomena that vary from one region to another and demand contextually specific solutions. In order to transform the conditions deemed conducive to violent extremism, regional players at every level must On June 24 and 25, 2018, the third commit to serious investment in peacebuilding and peaceful coexistence. Regional Conversations on the Prevention of Violent Extremism in The ongoing need for a forum for exchanging ideas and developing the Sahel-Sahara took place in multilateral approaches to violence prevention in the Sahel-Sahara motivated Algiers, Algeria. This event was co- the International Peace Institute (IPI), the United Nations Office for West organized by IPI, the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS), the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign (UNOWAS), the Swiss Federal Affairs (FDFA), and the African Union’s African Centre for the Study and Department of Foreign Affairs Research of Terrorism (ACSRT) to organize the third round of Regional (FDFA), and the African Union’s Conversations for the Prevention of Violent Extremism, with support from African Centre for the Study and the government of Algeria. This meeting was officially opened by the Algerian Research on Terrorism (ACSRT), with support from the government minister of foreign affairs and brought together more than seventy experts and of Algeria.

  • LIBERIA MARKET PRICE MONITOR a Monthly Price Analysis of Food and Other Essential Commodities
    BULLETIN 27 July 2012 LIBERIA MARKET PRICE MONITOR A monthly price analysis of food and other essential commodities INTRODUCTION This 27th edition of the Liberia Market Price Monitor1 summarizes the price changes for commonly consumed staple foods as well as other essential non‐food commodities that have potential of being exchanged for food between May and July 2012. The Liberia Market Price Monitor aims to inform stakeholders on the changes in food price over time, at different locations and in different seasons; and on how prices of staples change relative to other local commodities that are key sources of income for vulnerable households. Highlights • Currently, retail prices of the basic staple, rice are substantially higher (22 percent) than the same period in 2011 in most parts of the country, though relatively stable since April 2012; • The refugee hosting county of Grand Gedeh continues to witness huge increases in prices of basic commodities including that of rice that rose up by 6 percent between May and July 2012. Palm oil and gasoline prices were up by 17 and 23 percent higher than the same period of last year. • World rice prices remain firm with a slight drop in July 2012, mainly attributed to good export availability and stable demand, though continued stock uncertainties may lead to global price volatility; • Meanwhile, the cereal market is already signaling the impact of the ongoing drought in USA heightening renewed threats of another round of global rise in food prices; • Casual laborers continue to experience decline in their food purchasing power as a result of the relatively high prices of imported rice with the worst affected county being Grand Gedeh due to double pressure on wage rate by the refugees; • Food security situation of the vulnerable households in parts of southeastern Liberia—mainly Grand Gedeh remains precarious as the region awaits the harvest season in the coming two months.
