Cette croissance assortie de fortes prévisions au cours des trois, voire quatre prochaines décennies, se fonde sur la démographique et l’urbanisation à grande échelle, l’exploitation de nouveaux gisements, de champs gaziers et pétrolifères d’une part; et d’autre part sur l'accroissement des échanges commerciaux intra régionaux et internationaux. L’on s’attend à ce que le secteur du transport ferroviaire, qui, grâce à sa politique d’efficacité énergétique, a permis de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de baisser le coût de la tonne au kilomètre, comparativement aux autres modes de transport, joue un rôle plus important encore dans le monde du transport des marchandises sur de longues distances, ainsi que dans les réseaux de transport en commun en milieu interurbain et urbain.

  • Customer Relationship Value in the Business-To-Business Railway Market of Southern Africa
    Customer Relationship Value in the Business-to-Business Railway Market of Southern Africa by Noanne Botha submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF ADMINISTRATION in the subject Business Management at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof Peet Venter November 2019 1 DECLARATION Name: Noanne Botha Student number: 55321049 Degree: DAdmin (Business Management) I declare that Relationship Value in the Business-to-Business (B2B) Railway Industry of Southern Africa is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ 19 November 2019 Signature: N Botha Date 2 ABSTRACT This study involves establishing imperative customer relationship value anteced- ents and mediators within the business-to-business (B2B) railway industry of Southern Africa and determining whether these relationship value antecedents and mediators will achieve customer retention as an outcome. The goal is to create a conceptual model for the B2B railway industry of Southern Africa, which will be done through reviewing well-established theories and past literature on the topics of relationship marketing, relationship value, and retention within the B2B industry. After an examination of the existing literature, a proposed concep- tual model will be developed and tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a sample of 265 B2B supplier companies operating in the Southern African railway market. The CFA represents the measurement model of this research, which proposes the relationship value antecedents, mediators, and their influ- ence on retention within the B2B railway industry of Southern Africa. Secondly, structural equation modelling (SEM) will be conducted, in order to test relation- ships with latent factors.

  • Swaziland Protected Areas PRODOC
    PROJECT DOCUMENT Kingdom of Swaziland United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility Strengthening the National Protected Areas System of Swaziland GEFSEC PROJECT ID: 5065; GEF AGENCY ID: PIMS 4932; AWARD ID: 00081957 Brief Description: Swaziland lies between latitudes 25° and 28° south and 31° and 32° east in the south eastern part of Africa. The country is a landlocked country covering an area of 17,364 km2, with South Africa in the north, west and south, and Mozambique in the east. Although Swaziland is small in size, it has great variation in landscape, geology, climate, ecosystems and species that make up the four physiographic regions. Despite the global significance of its biodiversity, Swaziland’s formal Protected Area (PA) estate is comprised of relatively small and vulnerable PAs, covering only 3.9% of the country and inadequately representing the countries varied ecosystems. There is therefore a need to expand the PA estate, while strengthening PA management competencies. This will in turn require the participation of a broad range of stakeholders, including private landholders, local communities and the tourism industry, to establish new State PA, private and community managed reserves. A landscape approach is needed, to strategically place these different PAs in proximity to one another, and manage land in immediately adjacent areas to reduce threats to biodiversity and improve connectivity between the PA sites. The long term solution is that Swaziland adopts a landscape conservation paradigm that allows a broader range of stakeholders to work together to manage biodiversity more effectively. Under this approach, PAs will be established and managed in critical biodiversity areas as clusters—different sites managed by the State, private landowners and communities in proximity to one another.
