Économique et Monétaire Ouest Africain/West African Economic and Monetary Union v SUMMARY Catholic Relief Services (CRS) commissioned this study to ensure expertise in the area of governance for the SUR1M (Scaling Up Resilience for Over One Million people in the Niger River Basin of Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali) project proposal submitted to DFID, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development. This study, undertaken by Agence Corade, was conducted from April 7 to May 16, 2014. The objectives were to i) contribute to the governance section of the SUR1M project proposal, ii) analyse governance issues in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger by focusing on the links between decentralization and improved management of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) by local government, and iii) make conceptual recommendations to strengthen the SUR1M project proposal. Decentralization and Local Governance Frameworks Legal and structural frameworks for decentralization policies have been effectively established in all three countries. The current local governance codes (General Code of Local Authority) were adopted in Mali in 2012, in Burkina Faso in 2004, and in Niger in 2010. Each country has established a government Ministry of Decentralization and a Local Government Association at each level of local authority. Mali even included the establishment of elected bodies as part of its 1999 communalized integration plan. Similar structures have only been operational in Burkina Faso since 2006 and in Niger since 2011. Evaluation of the Decentralization Process This evaluation of the decentralization process uses criteria as adapted from those found in the strategic objectives of the decentralization policy strategies in the three countries. These strategic objectives include i) transfer of authorities1 and resources, ii) social and political ownership of decentralization, iii) performance of the local governments in local project management, iv) support mechanisms for local institutions, and v) steering and coordination of the decentralization process. 1 Transfer of “authorities” refers to shifts of ability and responsiblity from the national governments to the com- munes in areas such as human and financial resources and technical support. In all three countries, specific authorities include basic education (primary school), literacy and preschools, water and sanitation, health, etc. vi Social Ownership of the reform should result in an understanding of the reform by citizens at both an individual and collective level. This should lead to significant improvement in civic consciousness and increased participation by the population in decision-making and local governance. This type of participation is still very low in the three countries even though, for example, in Burkina Faso, the rate of participation in the 2012 local elections reached 75%. The rate for the participation of women in the management and decision-making in local governance is also very low in all three countries. In Burkina Faso, which boasts the best numbers in terms of female participation, the percentage of women on the local Municipal Councils in 2009 was only 26%. This rate dropped to 21% after the elections of December 2012. In Mali, in 2009, the rate was only 8.6%. Political Ownership is measured by the State’s commitment and ability to lead regulation and support decentralization. While all three countries have judicial resources and institutional frameworks to implement ambitious reforms of public management, the low level of transfer

INTRODUCTION Why do rich people seeking reductions in their tax burdens, who have the ability to influence Congress directly through lobbying and campaign contributions, sometimes resort to grassroots populist methods? And why do non-rich people sometimes join the rich in their anti-tax movements? These are the puzzles Isaac William Martin sets out to solve in Rich People’s Movements.1 Martin’s historical research—much of it based on original sources to which scholars have previously paid little or no attention—reveals that, far from being a recent innovation, populist-style movements against progressive federal taxation go back nearly a century, to the 1920s. Although Martin identifies various anti-tax movements throughout the past century, he strikingly concludes that there has been “substantial continuity from one campaign to the next, so that, in some * Pamela B.

  • Commune De Tondikiwindi – Département De Ouallam Région De Tillaberi, Niger
    Profil des moyens d’existence des ménages Commune de Tondikiwindi – Département de Ouallam Région de Tillaberi, Niger Zone agro-pastorale avril 2012 1. DESCRIPTION GENERALE DE LA ZONE Situé dans la partie nord de la région de Tillabéri, dans le département de Ouallam, la commune de Tondikiwindi appartient à la zone agropastorale du Niger. Sa position géographique est située entre les latitudes 15° 20 ; 14°16 nord et 1° 10 et 2° 25 est. Tondikiwindi est entouré d’un massif rocailleux d’où son appellation en langue Zarma qui signifie « entouré de pierres ». Tondikiwindi rassemble 120 402 habitants sur une superficie de 11 092 Km2 dans 87 villages administratifs. Sa population est composée de Zarma (99%), de Peuhl, de Touareg, d’Haoussa et d’Arabes. Au total, le département de Ouallam compte 260 villages administratifs dont la majeure partie fut établie il y a une centaine d’années, à la recherche de terres de cultures, de pâturages et de points d’eau. Comme le montrent les cartes ci-dessous, le département est limité par trois autres départements de la région (Filingué à l’est, Kollo au sud et Tillabéri à l’ouest) et partage sa frontière nord avec la République du Mali. Le relief de cette commune est une vaste étendue de plateaux et de collines. On y remarque aussi la présence de quelques plaines pénétrées par des vallées relativement boisées. Les ressources forestières, fauniques et halieutiques connaissent des états de dégradation très avancés depuis plus d’une dizaine d’années et continuent de l’être ; conséquences de l’action anthropique et des aléas climatiques.

  • Food Insecurity Situations, the National Society (NS) Has Better Equipped Branches, Has Trained More Volunteers and More Technical Staff Are Recruited at Headquarters
    DREF operation n° Niger: Food MDRNE005 GLIDE n° OT-2010000028- NER Insecurity 23 February, 2010 The International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. CHF 229,046 (USD 212,828 or EUR 156,142) has been allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Red Cross Society of Niger in delivering immediate assistance to some 300,000 beneficiaries. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: This DREF aims to mitigate the food shortage due to bad harvests last year affecting about half of the population (7.7 million) of Niger. The DREF is issued to respond to a request from the Red Cross Society of Niger (RCSN) to support sectors of food security and nutrition for about Red Cross supported Graham bank in Zinder. 300,000 people with various activities including cash for work, water harvesting and environmental protection actions, seeds and stock distribution, and support to nutrition centres. This operation is expected to be implemented over 2 months, and will therefore be completed by 23 April, 2010; a Final Report will be made available three months after the end of the operation (by July, 2010). An emergency appeal is in preparation to extend the activities until the harvest time in October or November, 2010.
