All publications are available in the library of the African Studies Centre in Leiden, The Netherlands. Many are accessible full text in the library's online catalogue at catalogue.ascleiden.nl. Clicking on the title of an article or edited work in ASA Online brings you via the ASCLink to the full text if available (subject to access restrictions). Coverage ASA Online covers edited works (up to 50 in each issue) and journals in the field of African studies. Some 260 journals are systematically scanned from cover to cover. Just over half are English-language journals and just under a quarter are French, with the remainder either German, Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian or Portuguese. Almost 50 percent of the journals are published in Africa. Periodicals not scanned are newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines, current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters. All articles in ASA Online are available in the online catalogue of the ASC library at catalogue.ascleiden.nl, which also includes articles from journals not covered by ASA Online. Not selected for inclusion in either ASA Online or the ASC library catalogue are articles shorter than three to four pages, articles whose subject is marginal to the ASC library's collection profile, articles in the field of literature dealing with only one work, purely descriptive articles covering current political/economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, and review articles and book reviews. Contents and arrangement Each issue of ASA Online contains up to 350 entries. Entries are arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa and within regions, by country. A preliminary, International section, contains entries whose scope extends beyond Africa. Each entry provides a bibliographic description together with English-language descriptors from the ASC African Studies Thesaurus and an abstract in the language of the original document. Clicking on a descriptor launches a subject search in the online catalogue of the ASC library. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of ASA Online contains a geographical, subject and author index. All refer to entry number. Entries included in more than one country section are listed in the geographical index under each country. The subject and author indexes list the entry only once, the first time it appears. Within ASA Online it is possible to navigate and search directly from the geographical, subject and author indexes to the corresponding entry. iii EDITORIAL POLICY The subject index is intended as a first and global indication of subjects with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Each issue of ASA Online also includes a list of periodicals abstracted, indicating which journals and issues have been covered in that particular number. A list of all the periodicals scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the ASC website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/.

    30th April 2015 DRUM COMMODITIES LIMITED (DCL) – COUNTRY REPORT SENEGAL 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Republic of Senegal, named after the river that runs along its northern border, is the most western country in Africa. It has a population of just over 14 million and a GDP of $37.72 billion according to 2013 estimates. Map of Senegal (Wikipedia) 1.2 The country has a land area of 196,722 km2 and borders The Gambia (740 km), Guinea (330 km), Guinea-Bissau (338 km), Mali (419 km) and Mauritania (813 km). It has a coastline running 531 km along the North Atlantic Ocean. 1.3 The capital of Senegal is Dakar. Dakar is also one of Senegal’s 14 regions, with the others being: Diourbel, Fatick, Kaffrine, Kaolack, Kedougou, Kolda, Louga, Matam, Saint-Louis, Sedhoui, Tambacounds, Thies and Ziguinchor. 1.4 The national currency is the CFA franc (XOF). At the date of this report, the exchange rate was around 610 XOF to 1 USD. GDP growth is 2.8% (World Bank, 2013). 1.5 The official language of Senegal is French, with approximately one third of the population French speaking. Although it is the official language, it is spoken only by an educated minority, and Wolof has become a ‘lingua franca’ in towns, markets, schools, and interethnic marriages. 1.6 The literacy rate is 49.7%, with 61.8% being male and 38.7% female. 1.7 The unemployment rate is 48% and the percentage of the population living below the poverty line is 54 % (2007).

  • Ngaire Woods the IMF Has Found It Extremely Difficult to Facilitate
    Ngaire Woods in The IMF and Low-Income Countries (edited by James Boughton and Domenico Lombardi, Oxford University Press, 2008). Governance matters: the IMF and Sub-Saharan Africa Ngaire Woods Introduction The IMF has found it extremely difficult to facilitate successful economic growth, development, and policy reform in Africa. This is puzzling from the outside because on the face of it the IMF looks very powerful vis-à-vis African countries. It has considerable resources, knowledge, and expertise compared to its interlocutor agencies on the ground. Borrowers in Africa are among the least likely to have access to alternative sources of finance. And the institution has now worked with African countries for a long time. But after two decades of engagement, the IMF’s main borrowers in sub-Saharan Africa are still deeply affected by the institution and yet seem no closer to the promise of economic growth. This chapter argues that the IMF’s failures in Africa cannot be divorced from the governance of the institution. At the Board level, developing countries have insufficient voting power to give them appropriate incentives to engage meaningfully in deliberations and decisions. The Executive Board of the IMF is dominated by the wealthiest economies who command more than 40% of votes of the organization. By contrast, sub-Saharan African countries, who account for a quarter of the membership of the IMF, have just over 4 percent of the vote. Belgium (population 10 million) has more votes than Nigeria, Ethiopia, Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique and South Africa combined (total population around 300 million). Although the IMF’s Board typically does not resort to voting, voting power and quotas strongly underpin calculations as to when a decision has been reached (typically described as `consensus’).

Mustapha_01 1/5/09 15:48 Page 13 2 Senegal since 2000 Rebuilding Hegemony in a Global Age TARIK DAHOU & VINCENT FOUCHER Senegal is often seen as a model of democracy in Africa. The changing character of Senegalese political life since independence has been paralleled by just as many changes in the literature about it. Initially most work tended to focus on the long history and rooted character of Senegalese democratic culture. This was essentially an urban-based political history centred on the lives of an enlightened class of évolués, African elites with a French education. In various shades, subse- quent authors described how the powerful Muslim brotherhoods functioned as mechanisms for political integration in the countryside: in exchange for agricultural services and other resources channelled to client marabouts, the party-state could count on the votes of the disciples attached to these marabouts (Copans 1980; Coulon 1981).

  • Ajami Scripts in the Senegalese Speech Community
    AJAMI SCRIPTS IN THE SENEGALESE SPEECH COMMUNITY Fallou Ngom BOSTON UNIVERSITY Wolofal (from Wolof: Wolof language or ethnic group and ‘-al’: causative morpheme) is an Ajami writing (a generic term commonly used to refer to non-Arabic languages written with Arabic scripts) used to transliterate Wolof in Senegal. It results from the early Islamization of the major Muslim ethnic groups in the country, especially the Pulaar, the Wolof and the Mandinka. Although Senegal is considered to be a French-speaking country, ironically over 50% of the Senegalese people are thought to be illiterate in French. French literacy is restricted to the minority educated group mostly found in urban areas. Because the literacy rate in French is very small in the country, especially among older people, Wolofal remains a major means of written communication among people who are illiterate in French and who have attended Qurʾānic schools. It is used by these people to write letters, run their informal businesses and read religious poems and writings. This paper is based upon fieldwork conducted in Senegal in the summer of 2004. It discusses the orthographic system of Wolofal (com- pared to Arabic) and provides a sociolinguistic profile of communities in which it serves as major means of written communication.1 1. Introduction I traveled to Senegal in the summer of 2004 to collect historical and cultural texts and religious poems and to take digital images of Wolof, Pulaar and Mandinka Ajami manuscripts used in major Senegalese Muslim communities. My goal was to collect as many texts and digital images as possible of these types of Ajami writings and to visit com- munities where they are typically used.
