  • 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.

    PART VII CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TOGO The Project on Corridor Development for West Africa Growth Ring Master Plan Final Report Chapter 26 National Development Strategies for Togo 26.1 Exiting National Development Plans 26.1.1 Review of the “Strategy on Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion”- Stratégie de Croissance Accélérée et de Promotion de l’Emploi (SCAPE) 2013-2017 (1) Objectives of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The Strategy on Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion (SCAPE: Stratégie de Croissance Accélérée et de Promotion de l'Emploi) of Togo offers a development framework for the medium term to achieve the General Political Declaration of the government, and the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals, as well as the vision of the authorities to make Togo into an emerging country within 15 to 20 years, respectful of human rights and promoting the rule of law. As such, the Togolese Government considers that there are four major challenges in the medium term for the period 2013-2017 to ensure the take-off of the Togolese economy and move towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. These are the challenges of accelerating economic growth, employment and greater regional and international integration of the Togolese economy; the challenge of governance; the socio-demographic challenge; and the challenge of urban development, spatial planning and environmental protection. (2) Major Points of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The economic policy of the Government in the medium term for the period 2012-2016 focuses mainly on laying down and strengthening the foundations of the future emergence of Togo. For this, it moves towards establishing new priorities which are: • Acceleration of growth; • Employment and inclusion; • Strengthening Governance • Reduction of regional disparities and promoting grassroots development.

The area is characterized by the presence of abundant wildlife. Its southern part includes one of the most important wildlife reserves in West Africa: the Niger W Regional Park 291 , which covers 1 million hectares on the territories of Niger, Burkina Faso and Benin. Outside the area of the park, towards the River Sirba, herds of elephant, buffalo and warthog can be met with, as well as groups of lion, hyena and leopard, which makes the conduct of human activity problematic in the area. The region’s watercourses and pools were long infested with tsetse flies, causing blindness among humans and animals. This parasite was eradicated several decades ago. But previously, the presence of tsetse fly and poisonous snakes resulted in the relocation of many villages, or even their disappearance. 7.7. In human terms, the Say/Fada region is lightly populated. It is subject to constant regional transhumance. This is of three kinds: major transhumance, which consists of movements over very long distances, generally practiced by the Bororo and related Peulhs; minor transhumance, a movement over short and medium distances, generally carried out in order to exploit the pastureland beside rivers and pools; commercial transhumance, involving small flocks, for the purpose of increasing milk production and taking advantage of the pasturage provided by fallow croplands.

WERNER LAURIE, LTD., 8, ESSEX STREET, LONDON. 1918. *-' / E, Goodman & Son, The Phcenix Press, Taunton. PREFACE. E of the most curious and interesting features connected with the annexation of Togoland by Germany, the colonisation of the territory by its Teuton administrators, and its final surrender to the allied British and French forces, is the quietness and decorum that has characterised every incident and phase of the several processes. In July, 1884, a German Consul-General, named Nachtigal, ostensibly engaged in the capacity of Trade Commissioner to report to his Government upon the progress of German commerce in West Africa, unostentatiously unfurled the flag of the Fatherland in Bagida and Lome, and added an area of 33,700 square miles of Togoland to the 322,450 square miles of country in Damaraland and Namaqualand, which at that period constituted the extent of Germany's African Empire. This totally unexpected act of acquisition was accom- plished without fuss, and the fact was accepted by Downing Street and the Quai D'Orsay almost without protest. It is true that in the process of opening up the country slavery, if not abolished, was replaced by VI.
