Throughout the year, WFP Benin worked on advancing its main development programme, while strengthening its capacity on emergency operations. The CSP was implemented through four strategic outcomes, and WFP intensified efforts to integrate gender into the design, implementation and monitoring processes, as evidenced by the Gender and Age Marker monitoring codes of 3 and 4 associated to the school feeding and crisis response programmes. Contributing towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 ‘Zero Hunger’, the number of people reached to improve their food security has increased to 718,418 beneficiaries (49 percent women and 51 percent men), which corresponds to 81 percent of the target set for 2020 and an increase of 11 percent compared to 2019 [1].

  • Political Impact of Decentralization in Africa
    Political impact of decentralization in Africa Political impact of decentralization in Africa Takuo IWATA ※ Abstract Decentralization is an outstanding phenomenon among the ongoing administra- tive and political reforms that have been undertaken in recent decades around the world, and it has had significant political effects in African countries. In addition, urbanization amplifies the political impact of decentralization. Decentralization and urbanization have expanded the economic and political gaps between local governments in urban and rural areas as devolution has progressed from the cen- tral government to local governments. Decentralization encourages international cooperation between African local governments and (non-)African partners. Decentralization and this international cooperation between local governments have significantly influenced local politics in Africa, and decentralization has changed the relationship between the state and local governments, and between the local government and residents. First, this paper briefly traces the history of decentralization in Africa. Second, it reflects on the impact of decentralization on African politics and international relations by focusing on local elections, decen- tralized cooperation, and political disputes in urbanizing local governments in Benin and Burkina Faso. It is an appropriate time to examine local governments to better understand the political and social transformations that are taking place in a decentralizing Africa. ※ Professor, College of International Relations,

Because access to water resources are central to the realization of many human rights, WaterLex’s activities use a human right based approach to water governance. WaterLex has a large network of partners in the North as in the South and receives the support of many experts such as the UN Special Rapporteur on the HuMan Right to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation. • SuMMary of the project to be funded Context: In 2010, adopting the new Water Code, Benin recognized the ‘right to water’ laying out clear legal obligations in this field (article 6). Since the first coMMunal elections in 2003, the coMMunes are responsible for the water and sanitation services. They are also responsible for the adoption of WASH sectorial plans. In Many places these sectorial plans are often neglected and not integrated into the Local DevelopMent Plans (PDC). The decentralization process faces Many obstacles including central governMent resistance, lack of funding for coMMunes and lack of coMpetence transfers. Project: This project is a pilot project of seven months (January 2013-July 2013).
