  • Statistiques Du TONKPI
    8 954 192 310 85 717 élèves élèves élèves Avant-Propos La publication des données statistiques contribue au pilotage du système éducatif. Elle participe à la planification des besoins recensés au niveau du Ministère de l’Education Nationale, de l’Enseignement Technique et de la Formation Professionnelle sur l’ensemble du territoire National. A cet effet, la Direction des Stratégies, de la Planification et des Statistiques (DSPS) publie, tous les ans, les statistiques scolaires par degré d’enseignement (Préscolaire, Primaire, Secondaire général et technique). Compte tenu de l’importance des données statistiques scolaires, la DSPS, après la publication du document « Statistiques Scolaires de Poche » publié au niveau national, a jugé nécessaire de proposer aux usagers, le même type de document au niveau de chaque région administrative. Ce document comportant les informations sur l’éducation est le miroir expressif de la réalité du système éducatif régional. La possibilité pour tous les acteurs et partenaires de l’école ivoirienne de pouvoir disposer, en tout temps et en tout lieu, des chiffres et indicateurs présentant une vision d’ensemble du système éducatif d’une région donnée, constitue en soi une valeur ajoutée. La DSPS est résolue à poursuivre la production des statistiques scolaires de poche nationales et régionales de façon régulière pour aider les acteurs et partenaires du système éducatif dans les prises de décisions adéquates et surtout dans ce contexte de crise sanitaire liée à la COVID-19. DRENET MAN / Statistiques scolaires de poche 2019-2020 : REGION DU TONKPI 2 Présentation La Direction des Stratégies, de la Planification et des Statistiques (DSPS) est heureuse de mettre à la disposition de la communauté éducative les statistiques scolaires de poche 2019-2020 de la Région.Ce document présente les chiffres et indicateurs essentiels du système éducatif régional.

Ghana covers an area of 238,500 km2. The country is relatively well endowed with water: extensive water bodies, including Lake Volta and Bosomtwi, occupy 3,275 km2, while seasonal and perennial rivers occupy another 23,350 square kilometers. Ghana's population is about 23.8 million (2009)1 and is estimated to be increasing at a rate of 2.1% per annum. Life expectancy is 56 years and infant mortality rate is 69 per thousand life births. Ghana is classified as a developing country with a per capita income of US$ 1098 (2009). Agriculture and livestock constitute the mainstay of Ghana’s economy, accounting for 32% of GDP in 2009 and employing 55% of the economically active population2. Agriculture is predominantly rainfed, which exposes it to the effects of present climate variability and the risks of future climate change.

  • 61 6 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT 6.1 the Baseline for the Study of Physical, Social and Economic Information Is Based on the Following
    6 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT 6.1 IINTRODUCTION The baseline for the study of physical, social and economic information is based on the following sources of information: • documentary review of the scientific literature and publicly available information; • a scoping mission carried out the week of November 12, 2018 and a mission of study of the initial state carried out the week of November 26, 2018 were carried out by the international consulting company ERM (mobilization of three international consultants) and at the support of the local expertise of the Ivorian consulting firm ENVAL (mobilization of four national consultants); • a rapid 3-day biodiversity survey conducted by two ENVAL consultancy flora experts and two wildlife experts, including a national expert from ENVAL and a senior biodiversity expert from ERM; and • public consultations and guided interviews carried out as part of the project during the scoping and baseline studies, supervised by a social expert from ENVAL and an ERM consultant. The reports of the consultations held the week of November 26, 2018 in the villages of Taboth, Sassako Begnini, N'Djem, Avagou, Adoukro and Abreby are presented in the Appendix. At the time of finalizing this report (February 2019), ERANOVE plans to complete the baseline studies in order to refine the assessment of the sensitivity of the natural and human environment in the Project area. This will include: • additional studies on biodiversity (search for presence or absence of chimpanzees in swamp forest areas in the north of the zone, in particular);
