However, agricultural development strategies are geared towards practices that do not meet the objectives of sustainability. This paper focuses on assessing the agro-ecological sustainability of the perimeters developed in the flood plain of Dangbo Commune and Adjohoun. In the Ouémé valley, this plain facilitates the development of a variety of hydro-agricultural developments whose agro-ecological sustainability of production conditions has been analyzed through the IDEA (Farm Durability Indicator) method. Field surveys carried out in eight 8 districts (Késsounou, Houédomey, Gbéko, Zounguè, Gangban, Kodé, Démè and Azowlissè) made it possible, using a questionnaire, to collect the qualitative and quantitative data from 254 operators of the agricultural hydro planning sites. 20 developed perimeters selected among the 66 were selected to evaluate their agro-ecological sustainability. The processing of the collected data is done according to the methods of determining the levels of sustainability. This sustainability, evaluated by thirteen indicators, thus grouping three components of the scale, yielded an average score of 58.72 out of 100.

  • ECOWAS Peace & Security Report
    ISSUE 10 | OCTOBER 2014 ECOWAS Peace & Security Report Politicians talk past each other as Togo’s 2015 elections approach Introduction While the presidential election in Togo is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, politicians have still not reached agreement on the implementation of the policy reforms of the 2006 Global Political Agreement. The events of recent months illustrate the seriousness of the political impasse on these issues, which are central to the governance of the country. While the presidential election in Togo is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, politicians have still not reached agreement on the implementation of the policy reforms of the 2006 Global Political Agreement. The events of recent months illustrate the seriousness of the political impasse on these issues, which are central to the governance of the country. On 30 June 2014, the National Assembly rejected the bill on constitutional and institutional reforms that had been tabled a week earlier by the Government.1 This bill proposed limiting the presidential term to two five-year periods, allowing a two-round presidential election, creating a Senate, reforming the Constitutional Court, defining the prerogatives of the Prime Minister and instituting new eligibility criteria for the presidency. This rejection reflects the failure of the so-called ‘Togo Telecom’ political dialogue, which ended in June 2014. The dialogue failed to reach consensus on the implementation of constitutional and institutional reforms, some of which concerned preparations for the 2015 election. For eight years, the conditions for implementing these reforms have regularly been put back on the agenda without any significant progress being observed.

  • Water Dynamics in the Seven African Countries of Dutch Policy Focus: Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Sudan
    Water dynamics in the seven African countries of Dutch policy focus: Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Sudan Report on Benin Written by the African Studies Centre Leiden and commissioned by VIA Water, Programme on water innovation in Africa Ton Dietz, Laurens Nijzink, Germa Seuren, Fenneken Veldkamp Leiden, September 2014 Water – Benin This report has been made by the African Studies Centre in Leiden for VIA Water, Programme on water innovation in Africa, initiated by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is accompanied by an ASC web dossier about recent publications on water in Benin (see www.viawater.nl), compiled by Germa Seuren of the ASC Library under the responsibility of Jos Damen. The Benin report is the result of joint work by Ton Dietz, Laurens Nijzink and Fenneken Veldkamp. We acknowledge the support by Joop de Schutter (JdS). Blue texts indicate the impact of the factual (e.g. demographic, economic or agricultural) situation on the water sector in the country. The authors used (among other sources) the ASC web dossier on water in Benin and the Africa Yearbook 2013 chapter about Benin, written by Eric Komlavi Hahonou (see reference list). Also the Country Portal on Benin, organized by the ASC Library, has been a rich source of information (see http://countryportal.ascleiden.nl)1. ©Leiden: African Studies Centre; September 2014 Political geography of water The République du Bénin, is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Togo to the west, by Nigeria to the east and by Burkina Faso and Niger to the north.

  • Floods in the Sahel: an Analysis of Anomalies, Memory, and Anticipatory Learning
    Climatic Change DOI 10.1007/s10584-009-9776-y Floods in the Sahel: an analysis of anomalies, memory, and anticipatory learning Petra Tschakert · Regina Sagoe · Gifty Ofori-Darko · Samuel Nii Codjoe Received: 24 September 2008 / Accepted: 30 October 2009 © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract This study explores the implications of recent extreme rainfall and flood events in the Sahel and the wider West African region for climate change adap- tation. Are these events merely a temporal nuisance as suggested by the lingering desertification discourse or will more climatic extremes characterize the region over the next century? After reviewing incidences of severe rainfall and projected future climate variability, the paper examines local flood knowledge and decision-making, drawing upon a case study in Ghana. The data demonstrate that a variety of response strategies to flooding exist; yet, knowledge of and access to climate forecasts and other learning tools are essentially absent. So far, floods have not triggered mass displacement although cumulative environmental deterioration is likely to cause environmental refugees. The paper recommends to lay to rest the desertification narrative, consider the possibility of both floods and droughts, and mobilize local memory for anticipatory learning and practical adaptation. 1 Introduction In a seminar at Penn State, one of the authors proposed the possibility of a flooded Sahel, essentially as a counter image to a tornado-stricken Los Angeles and Manhattan under ice as shown in the 2004 movie “The Day After Tomorrow.” The audience had considerable difficulty envisioning such a scenario. Typically, people associate the Sahel—a 2,400 mile long semi-arid tropical savanna belt south of the Sahara from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea—with drought, food aid, starving P.

  • Caracterisation Des Activites De Peches Dans La Commune De Adjohoun Au Sud-Est Du Benin
    Activités de pêches dans la commune de Adjohoun. 375 CARACTERISATION DES ACTIVITES DE PECHES DANS LA COMMUNE DE ADJOHOUN AU SUD-EST DU BENIN E. O. ALLAGBE, I. YABI, F. B. YABI Université d’Abomey-Calavi BP: 922, Abomey-Calavi, Bénin Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] RESUME La pêche continentale revêt une importance capitale pour les populations riveraines des cours et plans d’eau dans la mesure où elle contribue à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle sans oublier les revenus monétaires et les autres utilités socioculturelles. Le présent article vise à analyser les caractéristiques actuelles des activités de pêche dans la Commune d’Adjohoun. L’approche méthodologique est axée sur l’observation, les entretiens structurés et semi-structurés. L’échantillon est constitué de 187 pêcheurs et de 5 personnes ressources. Les données collectées concernent la typologie des engins et techniques de pêche en relation avec les saisons hydrologiques. Au total, douze (12) différents engins et techniques ont été identifiés dans la pêche cueillette. La nasse (61,88 %) et les filets dormants (44,28 %) sont les plus utilisés. L’analyse factorielle des correspondances (AFC) montre qu’à chaque période hydrologique correspond l’utilisation des techniques de pêche appropriées. La pêche à senne, la pêche à épervier sont plus utilisées en période de crue alors que les trous à poisson, le système acadja, la capture par harpon sont utilisées en période de décrue ou d’étiage. En ce qui concerne les pisciculteurs, ils exploitent des étangs aménagés (87,5 %), des bassins (37,5 %), des bacs hors-sol (25 %) et le vivier (12,5 %) pour l’élevage des espèces comme Clarias gariepinus, Oreochromis niloticus et Heterotis niloticus.

    Bad panorama for Benin – Page 1 Flooding in the west side of Africa – Page 2 Earthquake in Nepal – Page 3 Terrible situation in the Carib – Page 4 Vol. # 17 September 15, 2008 The World Health Organization is expecting heavy storms in the Benin area, which could leave 500,000 people displaced by flooding if there is not a good evacuation plan. There re several areas which can result affected: Cotonou, Dasso and Ouinhi districts. Representatives from WHO’s Cotonou office, Benin’s Ministry of Hygiene, Public Health and Social Affairs, and the municipality of Cotonou, Benin’s largest city, wrote after their 15 August visit to flooded areas in and around Cotonou that an evacuation and relocation plan is urgently needed because heavier storms are expected in September and October. “People should be evacuated if the water level approaches their windows,” the report warned. Storms during the last week of July 2008 tore down mud and straw homes, polluted rivers, and washed away roads in the central Benin communities of Sagon, Tohoue, Dasso, Ouinhi and Za-Kpota. Earlier this month storms affected 7,000m people according to the Red Cross of Benin. People who have been displaced are taking shelter with families and friends. Since 30 July there are reports of almost 192 cholera cases. UN agencies are working with the mayor’s office of Countou district to pump out water and clear roads in the capital. WHO medical advisor Edouard Comlanvi said that some northern sections of Cotonou are still under water. “The district of Vossa is completely under water.
