Email: [email protected] Problem and objectives Unhealthy environments are responsible for a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1, 2 The World Health Organization estimates that the global burden of disease from environmental factors is 24%, and these factors are responsible for 23% of all deaths each year. Preventing environmental risks could reduce the number of child deaths by nearly 4 million every year, mostly in developing countries.1 In African cities, infectious diseases like malaria, acute respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases contribute to a longstanding critical health situation.3 The growth of African cities in the last three decades as also led to profound changes in the local environmental context. Rapid population growth, combined with a lack of access to basic sanitation services (access to clean water, management of household waste and water, etc.) and poor housing conditions, have had a harmful effect on the health and wellbeing of urban populations.4 Understanding the links between environmental risk factors and public health is essential for the development of effective policies and programs, and ultimately to the future wellbeing of West African urban populations.

  • Adolescent Fertility Is Lower Than Expected in Rural Areas: Results from  African HDSS
    REPORT Adolescent Fertility Is Lower than Expected in Rural Areas: Results from African HDSS Clémentine Rossier, Bruno Schoumaker, Valérie Delaunay, Donatien Beguy, Aparna Jain, Martin Bangha, Alemseged Aregay, Baptiste Beck, Karim Derra, Modeste Millogo, Albert Nkhata Dube, Kone Siaka, Marylene Wamukoya, and Pascal Zabre The adolescent birth rate (ABR) is an important indicator of maternal health, adolescent sexual health, and gender equity; it remains high in sub-Saharan Africa. While Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are the main source of ABR estimates, Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSS) also produce ABRs. Studies are lacking, however, to assess the ease of access and ac- curacy of HDSS ABR measures. In this paper, we use birth and exposure data from HDSS in six African countries to compute local ABRs and compare these rates to DHS regional rates where the HDSS sites are located, standardiz- ing by education and place of residence. In rural HDSS sites, the ABR measure is on average percent lower than the DHS measure, after controlling for ed- ucation and place of residence. Strong temporary migration of childless young women out of rural areas and different capacities in capturing temporarily ab- sent women in the DHS and HDSS could explain this discrepancy. Further comparisons based on more strictly similar populations and measures seem warranted.

  • September 11Th, 2018 Fertility Transition in Dakar, Nairobi And
    September 11th, 2018 Fertility transition in Dakar, Nairobi and Ouagadougou since the 1970s: a similar decline at all ages? Roch Millogo and Clementine Rossier Short abstract (n=156) The pattern of the African fertility decline remains in debate: while some researchers expect a transition similar to the declines in Europe, Latin America and Asia, where limitation practices and long- acting methods played a major role, others believe that the African transition will be different. This paper places itself in this debate: it aims to test Caldwell's prediction that African fertility declines will occur similarly at all ages, by the adoption of modern contraceptives also at all ages. We look at Dakar, Nairobi and Ouagadougou, three African urban contexts of relatively low fertility, where women have around three children in 2010-2015, using data available for these cities since the early 1970s. Caldwell et al.’s hypothesis that African fertility transitions will be characterized by similar fertility reductions at all ages is confirmed for these three cities, but contraception has not been the main strategy to expand the avoidance of childbearing in all cities and at all ages. Introduction While all other regions have already completed their fertility transition, SSA is the only part of the world that continues its transition at a slow pace: the average number of children remains high (5.1 2010-2015) (Casterline, 2001; Bongaarts et Casterline, 2013; UN, 2015). However, there is a wide disparity across the continent, with the decline being closely linked to wealth, urban residence, and especially high levels of education (Kravdal, 2002; Bongaarts, 2003; Gurmu and Macer, 2008; Shapiro and Gebreselassie, 2009; Assefa and Semahegn, 2016, National Academies of Sciences, Engeneering, and Medicine, 2016).

  • An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade
    High Trade Costs and Their Consequences: An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade Obie Porteous Online Appendix A1 Data: Market Selection Table A1, which begins on the next page, includes two lists of markets by country and town population (in thousands). Population data is from the most recent available national censuses as reported in various online databases (e.g. citypopulation.de) and should be taken as approximate as census years vary by country. The \ideal" list starts with the 178 towns with a population of at least 100,000 that are at least 200 kilometers apart1 (plain font). When two towns of over 100,000 population are closer than 200 kilometers the larger is chosen. An additional 85 towns (italics) on this list are either located at important transport hubs (road junctions or ports) or are additional major towns in countries with high initial population-to-market ratios. The \actual" list is my final network of 230 markets. This includes 218 of the 263 markets on my ideal list for which I was able to obtain price data (plain font) as well as an additional 12 markets with price data which are located close to 12 of the missing markets and which I therefore use as substitutes (italics). Table A2, which follows table A1, shows the population-to-market ratios by country for the two sets of markets. In the ideal list of markets, only Nigeria and Ethiopia | the two most populous countries | have population-to-market ratios above 4 million. In the final network, the three countries with more than two missing markets (Angola, Cameroon, and Uganda) are the only ones besides Nigeria and Ethiopia that are significantly above this threshold.

    The Ouagadougou Declaration and Plan of Action on Accelerating Prisons’ and Penal Reforms in Africa Recognising that there has been progress in raising general prison standards in Africa as recommended by the Kampala Declaration on Prison Conditions 1996 Recognising also the specific standards on alternatives to imprisonment contained in the Kadoma Declaration on Community Service Orders in Africa 1997; and on good prison administration set out in the Arusha Declaration on Good Prison Practice 1999 Noting the recognition given to these African standards by the United Nations as complementary to the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, the Declaration on the Basic Rights of Prisoners and the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for non-custodial measures (the 'Tokyo Rules') Mindful of the key role played by Africans in formulating an agenda for penal reform through the 1999 Egham Conference on 'A New Approach for Penal Reform in a New Century' Noting with satisfaction the important practical steps that have been taken to implement these standards at an African level through the activities of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and its Special Rapporteur on Prisons and Conditions of Detention Commending the practical measures that have been taken by prison authorities in African countries to apply these standards in their national jurisdictions Recognising that notwithstanding these measures there are still considerable shortcomings in the treatment of prisoners, which are aggravated by shortages of facilities and resources Welcoming the growing partnerships between Governments, non governmental organizations and civil society in the process of implementing these standards Emphasising the importance of a criminal justice policy that controls the growth of the prison population and encourages the use of alternatives to imprisonment The participants at the second pan-African Conference on Prison and Penal Reform in Africa, held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso between 18-20 September 2002, recommend: 1.
