  • Online Appendix to “Can Informed Public Deliberation Overcome Clientelism? Experimental Evidence from Benin”
    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.

  • The House of Oduduwa: an Archaeological Study of Economy and Kingship in the Savè Hills of West Africa
    The House of Oduduwa: An Archaeological Study of Economy and Kingship in the Savè Hills of West Africa by Andrew W. Gurstelle A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Carla M. Sinopoli, Chair Professor Joyce Marcus Professor Raymond A. Silverman Professor Henry T. Wright © Andrew W. Gurstelle 2015 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I must first and foremost acknowledge the people of the Savè hills that contributed their time, knowledge, and energies. Completing this dissertation would not have been possible without their support. In particular, I wish to thank Ọba Adétùtú Onishabe, Oyedekpo II Ọla- Amùṣù, and the many balè,̣ balé, and balọdè ̣that welcomed us to their communities and facilitated our research. I also thank the many land owners that allowed us access to archaeological sites, and the farmers, herders, hunters, fishers, traders, and historians that spoke with us and answered our questions about the Savè hills landscape and the past. This dissertion was truly an effort of the entire community. It is difficult to express the depth of my gratitude for my Béninese collaborators. Simon Agani was with me every step of the way. His passion for Shabe history inspired me, and I am happy to have provided the research support for him to finish his research. Nestor Labiyi provided support during crucial periods of excavation. As with Simon, I am very happy that our research interests complemented and reinforced one another’s. Working with Travis Williams provided a fresh perspective on field methods and strategies when it was needed most.

  • Benin• Floods Rapport De Situation #13 13 Au 30 Décembre 2010
    Benin• Floods Rapport de Situation #13 13 au 30 décembre 2010 Ce rapport a été publié par UNOCHA Bénin. Il couvre la période du 13 au 30 Décembre. I. Evénements clés Le PDNA Team a organisé un atelier de consolidation et de finalisation des rapports sectoriels Le Gouvernement de la République d’Israël a fait don d’un lot de médicaments aux sinistrés des inondations La révision des fiches de projets du EHAP a démarré dans tous les clusters L’Organisation Ouest Africaine de la Santé à fait don d’un chèque de 25 millions de Francs CFA pour venir en aide aux sinistrés des inondations au Bénin L’ONG béninoise ALCRER a fait don de 500.000 F CFA pour venir en aide aux sinistrés des inondations 4 nouveaux cas de choléra ont été détectés à Cotonou II. Contexte Les eaux se retirent de plus en plus et les populations sinistrés manifestent de moins en moins le besoin d’installation sur les sites de déplacés. Ceux qui retournent dans leurs maisons expriment des besoins de tentes individuelles à installer près de leurs habitations ; une demande appuyée par les autorités locales. La veille sanitaire post inondation se poursuit, mais elle est handicapée par la grève du personnel de santé et les lots de médicaments pré positionnés par le cluster Santé n’arrivent pas à atteindre les bénéficiaires. Des brigades sanitaires sont provisoirement mises en place pour faire face à cette situation. La révision des projets de l’EHAP est en cours dans les 8 clusters et le Post Disaster Needs Assessment Team est en train de finaliser les rapports sectoriels des missions d’évaluation sur le terrain dans le cadre de l’élaboration du plan de relèvement.

  • Nigerian Journal of Rural Sociology Vol. 20, No. 1, 2020 INFORMATION
    Nigerian Journal of Rural Sociology Vol. 20, No. 1, 2020 INFORMATION NEEDED WHILE USING ICTS AMONG MAIZE FARMERS IN DANGBO AND ADJOHOUN FARMERS IN SOUTHERN BENIN REPUBLIC 1Kpavode, A. Y. G., 2Akinbile, L. A. and 3Vissoh. P. V. Department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, University of Ibadan, Nigeria School of Economics, Socio-anthropology and Communication for Rural Development, University of Abomey Calavi, Benin Republic Correspondence contact details: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study assessed Information needed while using ICTs among maize farmers in Dangbo and Adjohoun in southern Benin Republic. Data were collected from a random sample of 150 maize farmers. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics used were Chi-square, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and t-test at p=0.05. The results showed that farmers’ mean age was 43±1 years and were mostly male (88.0 %), married (88.0 %), Christians (67.3%) and 48.7% had no formal education. Prominent constraints to ICTs use were power supply ( =1.80) and high cost of maintenance of ICTs gadget ( =1.58). The most needed information by farmers using ICTs was on availability and cost of fertilisers insecticides and herbicides ( =1.20) and availability and cost of labour ( =1.16). Farmers’ constraints (t=2.832; p=0.005) significantly differed between Dangbo and Adjohoun communes. The information need of farmers in Dangbo and Adjohoun communes (t=0.753; p=0.453) do not significantly differ. The study concluded that the major barriers facing ICTs usage were power supply and high cost of maintenance of ICTs gadget; and there is the need for information on agricultural inputs.
