It is a major meeting not to be missed! The International Network of Basin Organizations - INBO calls its Members and Observers to get mobilized and come to Marseilles to present their solu- tions, to exchange and discuss in order to develop and improve basin manage- ment and transboundary cooperation in the world. Since the 1990s, management at the level of basins of rivers, lakes or aquifers has experienced a quick development in many countries, which made it the basis of their national legislation or tested it in pilot river basins. The European Water Framework Directive of 2000 imposes, for example, good management of the national or international River Basin Districts to the 27 Member States and the candidate Countries of the European Union. The management of the transboundary basins of the 276 rivers and hundreds of aquifers is taken more and more into account within Commissions, Authorities or International Basin Organizations, which are being created or strengthened on all the continents. Significant progress has been made: basin management works when there is strong willingness of all the stakeholders! The Forum of Marseilles will be the opportunity of reporting on these progresses and presenting our solutions to face the difficulties which remain and to sign ”the World Pact for better Basin Management”. The International Forum Committee entrusted INBO, UNESCO, OECD, UNECE and the European Commission with the coordination of the targets which aim to “contribute to cooperation and peace”, to “improve Good Governance” and to “Develop Basin Management in Europe”, in partnership with all other interested Organizations. Our ideas are progressing, let’s get mobilized to make our solutions known in Marseilles in March 2012! www.inbo-news.org www.worldwaterforum6.org January 2012 - n° 20 INBO 20_Mise en page 1 25/01/12 09:42 Page2 The 6th World Water Forum "Time for Solutions" Marseilles - France - 12 - 17 March 2012 DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 DAY 5 DAY 6 Monday March 12 Tuesday March 13 Wednesday March 14 Thursday March 15 Friday March 16 Saturday March 17 Thematic and regional sessions 8.30 am / 10.30 pm Local and regional Local and regional Final synthesis High level authorities conference roundtables authorities closing session conference Parliamentarian conference Commitment day Thematic and regional sessions 11.00 am / 13.00 pm Opening ceremony Local and regional Local and regional High level authorities conference Closing ceremony roundtables authorities The international water community conference Parliamentarian conference is invited to participate in the Lunch Side events 6th World Water Forum - Time for Thematic solutions. and regional sessions “ Grassroots & Citizenship ” 2.30 am / 4.30 pm major events Here is how to join the ”change Local and regional Commitment Inspiring Ministerial Regional interpolitical authorities conference conference trialogues day makers” in Marseilles, March 12 to speeches Parliamentarian conference 17, 2012: Multi-stakeholder sessions and High Level Panels Send your solution for addressing the global water challenges to the 5.00 pm / 7.00 pm Local and regional Ministerial Regional interpolitical authorities conference conference trialogues Platform: Parliamentarian conference www.solutionsforwater.org 7.30 pm / 9.30 pm “ Grassroots & Citizenship ” major events Join one of the working groups in charge of identifying solutions Since 1997, the World Water Forums l the strengthening of the and generating commitments. have gathered all the stakeholders political process, through For this purpose, follow a 3-step concerned – at local, regional and significant commitments process: global level - around today’s water from parliamentarians consult the list of priorities and issues that cannot be undertaken and local and regional targets on: without all stakeholders gathered into a Authorities worldwide. worldwaterforum6.org; common framework and with shared The daily progresses will be select the target(s) related to your goals. summarized in the evening solution(s); Next March, 20 to 25,000 participants, multi-stakeholders synthesis contact the coordinator by e-mail 800 speakers, more 140 countries are sessions and the commit- with your proposal of solution(s). awaited for more than 400 hours of ments and declarations will be sessions of exchange and over 300 made at the end of the week.

    4 ONCHOCERCIASIS CONTROL PROGRAMME IN WEST AFRICA Expert Advisory Committee OCPIEACZ2 Twenty-second session OzuGINAL: FRENCH Ouagadougou. 4-8 June 2001 REPORT OF THE MEETING ON GROUND LARVICIDING OF BLACKFLIES DURING THE POST-OCP PERIOD - t I REPORT OF THE MEETING ON GROUND LARVICIDING OF BLACKFLIES DURING THE POST-OCP PERIOD 1. INTRODUCTION The meeting on ground larviciding was held at OCP/Ouagadougou on 22123 March 2001. Participants at the meeting included key technicians of the Programme involved in ground Iarviciding activities, representatives of hydrobiologists, the interim CPET and independent specialists (cf. List of participants in Annex 1 of this report). The objectives of this meeting, which was to ensure the application of recommendations made by EAC 21, were as follows: a) To discuss the efficacy of ground larviciding of blackflies in the post-OCP context; b) To address possible ecological problems relating to such activities; c) To ascertain progress made with respect to feasibility studies on ground treatment in target basins; d) To make concrete proposals for actions, which could re-state the protocols of on- going studies. Discussions centred mainly on the 5 river basins (tributaries of the Oti, Tinkisso, Niger, Mafou and Pru), on which transmission might not have been completely interrupted by 2OO2, but where larviciding will automatically cease due to the end of the Programme. 2. OPENING OF THE MEETING The Director of the Programme, Dr. Boakye A. Boatin, in his welcome address, called on participants to be open-minded during discussions, and to make relevant recommendations for the ground activities to be undertaken. Dr.

Risto Raiko Date 15.10.2017 Number of pages 256 Language English Abstract The status of energy supply and potential for exploitation of energy flows on the African continent in states between the ‘Maghreb’ in the north and borders of Re- public of South Africa is charted out. To facilitate the analysis of the energy situa- tion, the continent is divided into 6 sections and the energy sectors of each coun- try are sub-divided as well: Hydroelectric power, Oil & Gas, Mining, Agriculture, and Renewable energy resources. The first part contains the land facts pertaining to a particular country’s energy situation. The analytical part of the work draws upon data in Land facts section plus some fresh references to trace out the ener- gy belts of the continent and facilitate drawing of the energy maps. Calculations follow to estimate the densities of installed power and power poten- tial vis-à-vis each country’s total area.

    P’REPACE. A PRACTICAL and detailed knowledge of Tsetse-flies is essential for the material progress of a large part of Africa. How large a part is affected by these formidable insect-pests may be estimated by a glance at the Map which appears in this “ Handbook.” In order to settle the grave questions which are connected with the transmission of certain insect-borne diseases, it is not sufficient to know that a giveu insect belongs to the genus * Glosaina-or, in other words, is a Tsetse-fly-but, as indicated by the author in his Introduction, it may be of vital importance to know with certainty the species to which it belongs. ‘I. The study of the Tsetse-flies was greatly advanced by the ,+ appearance of Mr. Austen’s Cc Monograph of the Tsetse-Flies,” c: which was published by order of the Trustees of the British ii Museum in 1903. That work has been out of print for some time, and moreover our knowledge of the genus Glossina has considerably increased, during the interval. The present “ Hand- book,” by the same author, is an attempt to bring the subject up to date ; and it is hoped that it has been drawn up in such a way that, in addition to being a reliable contribution to systematic literature, it will prove useful to medical officers and others engaged in the struggle with disease in Africa.
