Where and how does donor support to Mailan Chiche PFM reform contribute most effectively to results? To answer these questions, an evaluation of PFM reforms has Idrissa Ouedraogo been carried out, primarily based on country studies of Burkina Faso, Ghana and Malawi. An international quantitative study and a literature review were also undertaken. This report presents the findings of the study in Burkina Faso The findings from the three country studies are summarised in a separate synthesis report, concluding that results tend to be good when there is a strong commitment at both political and technical levels, when reform designs and implementation models are well tailored to the context and when strong, government-led coordina- Evaluation of Public tion arrangements are in place to monitor and guide reforms. Donor funding for PFM reform has been effective in those countries where the context and mechanisms were right for success, and where external funding was focused on the Government’s own reform programme. The Financial Management Reform willingness of some Governments to fund PFM reforms directly shows that external funding may not be the deciding factor, however. Donor pressure to develop comprehensive PFM reform plans has been a positive influence in countries receiving Budget Support, but attempts to overtly influence either the pace or the content of in Burkina Faso, 2001–2010 PFM reforms were found to be ineffective and often counter-productive. Key lessons for donor agencies are thus to focus on where the right preconditions exist, to align to government programmes and, under all circumstances, to ensure that aid works in favour of the PFM system and not against it. Final Country Case Study Report The evaluation has been commissioned jointly by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Danish International Development Assistance (DANIDA).

  • INSTITUTIONAL RESILIENCE and INFORMALITY the Case of Land Rights Mechanisms in Greater Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
    INSTITUTIONAL RESILIENCE AND INFORMALITY The Case of Land Rights Mechanisms in Greater Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Julie Touber Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Julie Touber All rights reserved ABSTRACT INSTITUTIONAL RESILIENCE AND INFORMALITY The Case of Land Rights Mechanisms in Greater Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Julie Touber Land informality, or the absence of clear property rights, has been identified as a strong cause for lower economic development performance. In Africa, despite the presence of a formal institutional setting of property rights and established laws, the practice of land rights has favored a persistent informal institutional regime. This dissertation addresses the reasons for the persistence of land informality in the presence of formal laws in the case of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. Using process tracing, I dissect the processes of land conflict resolutions within the formal and informal institutions in order to pinpoint reasons for such prolong informality. I identify a very coherent and organized institutional set within the customary institutions, and the ambiguous relationship these institutions have with formal institutions. The inability of the formal institutions to resolve the informality issue is not the result of incompetence; it is the result of survival mechanisms from both the informal and formal institutions. Informality is the effect of the layered institutional setting and persists because of the resilience of survival mechanisms.

  • Blaise Compaoré
    Blaise Compaoré Burkina Faso, Presidente de la junta militar (1987-1991) y de la República (1991-2014) Duración del mandato: 15 de Octubre de 1987 - de de Nacimiento: Ziniaré, provincia de Oubritenga, región de Plateau-Central, 03 de Febrero de 1951 Partido político: Congreso por la Democracia y el Progreso (CDP) Profesión : Militar Resumen En Burkina Faso, un masivo y fulminante levantamiento popular puso término el último día de octubre de 2014 a la larga presidencia de Blaise Compaoré, en el poder desde 1987. La revuelta de los airados ciudadanos burkineses, saldada con la renuncia y fuga del dirigente, y la toma del Ejecutivo por el Ejército bajo la promesa de una transición consensuada con los partidos de la oposición, tuvo como espoleta el intento abusivo por Compaoré de, repitiendo la maniobra estrenada en 2000, enmendar la Constitución para poder optar a un nuevo mandato electoral, que habría de ser el quinto consecutivo tras los ganados en las urnas en 1991, 1998, 2005 y 2010. Sin embargo, la súbita Primavera Burkinesa, expresión de un malestar general incubado por largo tiempo en este país subsaheliano hundido en los rankings mundiales de desarrollo humano, se estaba gestando al menos desde las protestas de 2011. Con la caída de Compaoré, autócrata de maneras gentiles y discurso benigno que dosificaba la represión de los detractores más molestos (muerte del periodista Norbert Zongo en 1998) y que cultivaba con destreza la respetabilidad internacional, desaparece uno de los más veteranos e intrigantes hombres fuertes del continente negro, en su caso aliado privilegiado de Francia y Estados Unidos, así como "buen alumno" del FMI y el Banco Mundial.

  • Les Représentations Des Catholiques Au Burkina Faso Et Au Sénégal
    État et minorités religieuses: les représentations des catholiques au Burkina Faso et au Sénégal Ismaila Kane Thèse soumise à la faculté des études supérieures et post-doctorales dans le cadre des exigences du programme de doctorat en science politique École d'Études Politiques Faculté des Sciences Sociales Université d'Ottawa © Ismaila Kane, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii RÉSUMÉ Les rapports entre État et minorités religieuses constituent un grand enjeu dans le monde d'aujourd'hui qui est traversé par des crises politiques et sociales dont le soubassement est confessionnel. Beaucoup d'auteurs se sont intéressés à cette problématique mais, paradoxalement, peu se sont vraiment concentrés leur analyse sur les minorités, leur ressenti et les perceptions de leur situation. La présente thèse se propose d'étudier les représentations des minorités catholiques dans deux pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest: le Burkina Faso et le Sénégal. Ces deux pays sont également situés au Sahel qui connaît des bouleversements politiques en raison de la résurgence de l'islam politique, ce qui légitime d'autant plus une étude sur les minorités religieuses de cette région. En outre, les communautés catholiques au Burkina Faso et au Sénégal sont peu étudiées en science politique. Cette thèse révèle des représentations centrales pour chacun de deux pays. Au Burkina Faso, les catholiques se représentent l'État comme un ensemble d'institutions qu'ils dominent tandis qu'au Sénégal, les catholiques se représentent l'État comme un ensemble d'institutions qui sont dominées par les musulmans et desquelles ils sont marginalisés. La présente étude montre aussi des représentations périphériques relativement convergentes.
