  • Calcium Phosphate of Kolda Reasons to Invest?
    CALCIUM PHOSPHATE OF KOLDA REASONS TO INVEST? Phosphates have been the main mineral used in Senegal with a good contribution to the country's GDP. For example, the use of phosphates began in 1949 for aluminum Thiès. Besides this western part, there is a deposit in Matam in the north, some indices in the central region (Kaolack, Fatick, Diourbel, Louga, Kaffrine) and southern (Kolda and Ziguinchor). This paper aims to study the host country, its legal framework and geological order to justify the exploitation and utilization of calcium phosphate in Kolda. CALCIUM PHOSPHATE OF KOLDA OVERVIEW OF SENEGAL Situated in the extreme west of the African continent, Senegal is located between 12 ° 8:16 ° 41 north latitude and 11 ° 21 and 17 ° 32 west longitude. The country is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mauritania to the north, La ré gion dé Mali to the east, Guinea Bissau Guinea to the south and the KoldaThé région of southeast.

  • Livelihood Zone Descriptions
    Government of Senegal COMPREHENSIVE FOOD SECURITY AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS (CFSVA) Livelihood Zone Descriptions WFP/FAO/SE-CNSA/CSE/FEWS NET Introduction The WFP, FAO, CSE (Centre de Suivi Ecologique), SE/CNSA (Commissariat National à la Sécurité Alimentaire) and FEWS NET conducted a zoning exercise with the goal of defining zones with fairly homogenous livelihoods in order to better monitor vulnerability and early warning indicators. This exercise led to the development of a Livelihood Zone Map, showing zones within which people share broadly the same pattern of livelihood and means of subsistence. These zones are characterized by the following three factors, which influence household food consumption and are integral to analyzing vulnerability: 1) Geography – natural (topography, altitude, soil, climate, vegetation, waterways, etc.) and infrastructure (roads, railroads, telecommunications, etc.) 2) Production – agricultural, agro-pastoral, pastoral, and cash crop systems, based on local labor, hunter-gatherers, etc. 3) Market access/trade – ability to trade, sell goods and services, and find employment. Key factors include demand, the effectiveness of marketing systems, and the existence of basic infrastructure. Methodology The zoning exercise consisted of three important steps: 1) Document review and compilation of secondary data to constitute a working base and triangulate information 2) Consultations with national-level contacts to draft initial livelihood zone maps and descriptions 3) Consultations with contacts during workshops in each region to revise maps and descriptions. 1. Consolidating secondary data Work with national- and regional-level contacts was facilitated by a document review and compilation of secondary data on aspects of topography, production systems/land use, land and vegetation, and population density.

Department of Geography King’s College London Background research for HPG Report 13 February 2003 HPG BACKGROUND PAPER Abstract The Casamance is the southern limb of Senegal and an area rich in agricultural and forest resources. Since 1982, it has witnessed a separatist rebellion by the Mouvement des forces démocratiques de la Casamance (MFDC). This case study focuses on the ‘war economy’ established during the period of serious conflict (since 1990), principally in Ziguinchor region, and based mainly on natural resources such as timber, tree crops and cannabis. Members of the MFDC guerrilla group, Senega- lese forces and civilians, together with elements from neighbouring Guinea-Bissau and The Gam- bia, are implicated. However, the majority of Casamançais suffer because of exclusion from pro- ductive resources and regional economic crisis resulting from the conflict. The war economy may also be obstructing the current peace process, with vested interests profiting from ongoing, low- level conflict, at a time when donors and agencies are returning. This case study therefore aims to describe the war economy in terms of the actors and commodities

  • “Inside” Stories of Genealogical Purity and Slave Ancestry from Southern Senegal (Kolda Region)
    Marriage is the Arena: “Inside” Stories of Genealogical Purity and Slave Ancestry from Southern Senegal (Kolda region) ALICE BELLAGAMBA* Abstract The choice of a marriage partner is one of the contexts in which racial ar- guments about the human difference between slave and master descendants are more likely to manifest themselves in contemporary Senegal. By draw- ing on oral history and ethnography from the Fulfulde-speaking context of the Kolda region, this article explores the dynamics that spark up when girls and boys hope to marry across the boundary between the two social catego- ries. The discussions that follow provide an occasion to share recollections associated with the history of slavery and the slave trade across different generations. They also reveal concrete worries about the extension, solidity and development of family and political solidarities in post-slavery Senegal. Keywords: Senegal, Marriage, Family Networks, Slave-descendants, Fulbe. Introduction When Léopold Sédar Senghor, the first president and “father” of the Sen- egalese nation, used the emotionally charged term “race”, he addressed the long history of domination through which external slavers and European colonizers stripped Africans of their freedom and dignity. Processes of ra- cialization and experiences of anti-black racism developed at the frontier between Africa and the rest of the world. From his perspective, Africans had to react by rediscovering and appropriating the universal values associated with their own “race” (Aberger 1980, pp. 276-277; Mabama 2011, p. 6). In line with the common wisdom that sees “race” as a typical (and high- ly contested) Western concept emerging out of the history of the Atlantic slave trade and the late nineteenth century conquest of Africa, Senegalese public opinion continues to share Senghor’s perspective.
