Agriculture constitutes a way of life for most of the coimtry's population ancl an occupation for most of its labor force, though, as has been indicated, it accounts for only slightly more than haLf of total national output. The four distinct geographic regions provide a variety of natural conditions for different types of agricultural activities, but there is little scientific knowledge Rbout suitability for varying types of crops, and there are certain natural disadvantages. Included among the la-tter are the uneven distribution of rainfalL during the year, the deforest- ation and soil exhaustion that have resulted from nomadic cropping and foLiage burning practices, and the isolation and difficulties of transport because of topographic conditions of certain areas such as the Forest Region. 2. Like most other countries of trcpical Africa, Guinea is not densely populated, and most landholdings consist of small individual plots cultivated for subsistence purposes, to which rights accrue because of use rather than because of legal titles. There is only a limited amnount of plantation agriculture on a small scale, for examp,le, in European-held banana and pineapple plantations, and in small government-owned plantations of tea and of cinchona (quinine) trees. Shortly following independence, an effort was made by the government to change the pattern of larid'olding to a collective system. This effort was organized in 1960 in connection with the Three-Year Plan, and was supposedly aimed at organizing most agricultural activities on this basis except for the tapades, the small in.dividually cultivated plots surrounding native households. Centers for Agricultural Modernization were set up in each of the administrative regions to provide equipment, agricultural requisites, training, and extension services. Loans were made by the Agricultural Development Bank to these centers to finance the acquisition of equipment. This effort petered out af'ter several years for lack of proper organization and trained staff. Host loans turned out to be uncollectable, and the Agricultural Develop- ment Bank sucPended these operations. The failure of the effort was undoubtedly due to its wide-ranging approach, instead of being carried out in stages through carefully worked out pilot projects. Except for some isolated cases of collective production activities operating under regional political functionaries, agricultural production is carried out almost entirely on an individual basis. There are, however, some cooperatives wILich deal only with commercial aspects of agriculture, including four European plawnters' coomeratives, and five regional banana cooperatives set u) in 1964, upon the collapse of the nationwide collective effort, to d-Lstribute fertilizers and packing materials and to arrange for transport under the aegis of the Office de la Banane et des Fruits. 3. Official agricultural planning activities and services are weak. The Ministry of Rural Economy, which has never received more than l percent of the national government's operating budget, has only about 1 headquarters officials in Conakry to carry out its efforts throughout the country. The small allocations and expenditures for agriculture under the Plans have already been noted. There are subordinate erployees concerned with agri- culture who work under the four regional ministers annd 29 regional governors. Other national ministries such as Economic Development, Internal Trade, and External Trade and Banking are concerned with certain aspects of agricultural activities, and there is coordination of these with the Ministry of Rural Economy at the policy level through the Council of Ministers.

  • Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States
    Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States Alexis Arieff Analyst in African Affairs Nicolas Cook Specialist in African Affairs July 16, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40703 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States Summary Guinea is a Francophone West African country on the Atlantic coast, with a population of about 10 million. It is rich in natural resources but characterized by widespread poverty and limited socio-economic growth and development. While Guinea has experienced regular episodes of internal political turmoil, it was considered a locus of relative stability over the past two decades, a period during which each of its six neighbors suffered one or more armed internal conflicts. Guinea entered a new period of political uncertainty on December 23, 2008, when a group of junior and mid-level military officers seized power, hours after the death of longtime president and former military leader Lansana Conté. Calling itself the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD, after its French acronym), the junta named as interim national president Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, previously a relatively unknown figure. The junta appointed a civilian prime minister and has promised to hold presidential and legislative elections by late 2009. However, some observers fear that rivalries within the CNDD, Dadis Camara's lack of national leadership experience, and administrative and logistical challenges could indefinitely delay the transfer of power to a democratically elected civilian administration. Guinea has never undergone a democratic or constitutional transfer of power since gaining independence in 1958, and Dadis Camara is one of only three persons to occupy the presidency since that time.

This idea rests upon the fact that local border actors, public and private, are the bearers of concrete proposals, cross-border zones are dynamic places, and national peripheries are at the center of regional construction. African organizations for inter-governmental cooperation, particularly ECOWAS1 and WAEMU2, currently support this idea by seeking to expand the scope of regional governance for the implementation of NEPAD3 and the economic partnership agreements with the European Union that were laid out at Cotonou. The project, “cross-border areas4”, currently pursued by the Malian government and neighboring countries represents another example of such initiatives.

  • Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment
    European Journal of Sustainable Development Research 2019, 3(3), em0087 ISSN: 2542-4742 Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment Souare Sidiki 1* 1 Gamal Abdel Nasser, University of Conakry, GUINEA *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Citation: Sidiki, S. (2019). Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment. European Journal of Sustainable Development Research, 3(3), em0087. https://doi.org/10.29333/ejosdr/5735 Published: March 21, 2019 ABSTRACT This study assesses the environmental impact of bauxite mining and the attempts at managing those impacts around the three different bauxite mining communities “zones” (Sangarédi, Boké, Fria) in the western Guinea. Mining sector is important to the country’s economy; it represents 75 to 85% of resources exports by year, especially bauxite and figures prominently in the government's development priorities, evidenced by the broad movement of reforms undertaken by the authorities since 2010. In this context, these reforms aim both to minimize the risks while maximizing the benefits of the mining activity. This implies among other things, a better distribution of income from the mine, strict compliance with environmental standards, to record activity in a sustainable development perspective. To better understand these reforms and scope, this research evaluates the existing framework and innovations of the new reforms in the context of sustainable development. The researcher conducted a data collection, a series of interviews with resource persons (The local communities, the Ministry of Mines, mining companies and NGOs working in the mining sector), to analyze the Environmental and Socio-economic impact of mine.

This brings the total number of people 4,350,633 with improved access to water to more than 62,700. In 2015, Children in affected areas more than 250 water points are planned to be constructed or rehabilitated.
