  • DRENET KATIOLA : Statistiques Scolaires De Poche 2019-2020: Région Du Hambol 1 AVANT-PROPOS
    DRENET KATIOLA : Statistiques scolaires de poche 2019-2020: Région du Hambol 1 AVANT-PROPOS 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 KATIOLA : Statistiques scolaires de poche 2019-2020: Région du Hambol 2 PRESENTATION 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.

  • FERDI-WP266-Civil Conflict and Firm Recovery: Evidence from Post
    Pap ing er rk o W s fondation pour les études et recherches sur le développement international e D i 266May c e li ve 2020 o lopment P Civil conflict and firm recovery: Evidence from post-electoral crisis in Côte d’Ivoire* Florian Léon Ibrahima Dosso Florian Léon, Research Officer, FERDI. [email protected] Ibrahima Dosso, Consultant, World Bank, PhD Student, Université Clermont Auvergne, CERDI. [email protected] Abstract This paper examines how firms recover after a short, but severe, external shock. Thanks to a rich firm-level database, we follow surviving formal enterprises before, during and after the 2011 post-electoral crisis in Cˆote d’Ivoire. Main findings are summarized as follows. First, recovery was rapid in the first year but imperfect: three years after the shock, firms did not reach their previous level of productivity. Second, we show a wide heterogeneity in recovery across firms (within the same industry). Young and local firms were more able to rebound after the crisis. In addition, credit-constrained firms were less resilient, highlighting the importance of access to credit in post-crisis periods. Finally, the recovery was higher for labor- intensive firms but firms relying more on skilled workers and managers faced a lower rebound. Key words: Political violence; Firm; Recovery; Africa; Labor. JEL Classification: D22; L25; N47; O12. * We would like to thank the National Institute of Statistics for sharing data with us. We also thank Pierrick Baraton, Luisito Bertinelli, Arnaud Bourgain, Joël Cariolle, Lisa Chauvet, Boubacar Diallo, Marie-Hélène Hubert, Jordan Loper, Patrick Plane, Laurent Weill and Alexandra Zins, as well as participants at African Development Bank (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire) and CERDI (Clermont-Ferrand, France), and audiences at JMA (Casablanca, Morocco) and AFSE Conference (Orléans, France), for their helpful advice.

A travers le cas pratique de la région des populations de la Nawa, au Sud-Ouest du pays, la présente étude socio-anthropologique vise à tester la portée sociale de cette innovation technologique dans le système d’enregistrement des faits d’état civil en général, et particulièrement, la dimension des naissances et décès. Elle s’est déroulée de Février à Mai 2018 et a mobilisé un échantillon de deux- cent-cinq (205) participants, constitués d’autorités administratives, coutumières et populations des localités cibles. Cette population d’enquête a été choisie selon les techniques d’échantillonnage accidentel et de choix raisonné et investiguée à l’aide de questionnaires et de guides d’entretien. Les résultats ont révélé que la plupart des populations ont marqué leur adhésion aux nouveaux mécanismes de déclaration des naissances et décès dans les délais en ce sens que, désormais, c’est l’institutionnel qui converge vers le social (ou l'administration de l'état civil qui converge vers les populations) par l’entremise des Points de Collecte Communautaires (PCC) et Points de Collecte Sanitaires (PCS), chose qui autrefois, n’existait pas.

  • The Trial of Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé at the ICC
    Open Society Justice Initiative BRIEFING PAPER The Trial of Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé at the ICC JAJ January 2016 Laurent Koudou Gbagbo, former president of Côte d’Ivoire, faces charges at the ICC for crimes against humanity committed in the aftermath of contested presidential elections in 2010. Charles Blé Goudé, Gbagbo’s Youth Minister and long-time supporter, is facing similar charges. The two will be tried together before the ICC for allegedly conspiring to keep Gbagbo in office by any means necessary—including by committing crimes against humanity. 224 West 57th Street, New York, New York, 10019, United States | TEL +1-212-548-0600 | FAX +1-212-548-4662 | [email protected] BRIEFING PAPER GBAGBO AND BLÉ GOUDÉ 2 The Defendants Laurent Koudou Gbagbo is the former president of Côte d’Ivoire. Prior to assuming the presidency in 2000, Gbagbo was a historian and a political dissident. After secretly founding the Front Populaire Ivoirien (Ivorian Popular Front (FPI)) as an opposition party to President Felix Houphouët-Boigny’s one-party rule, Gbagbo spent most of the 1980s in exile in France. Gbagbo returned to Côte d’Ivoire in 1988 to compete against incumbent Houphouet-Boigny in the 1990 presidential race, the country’s first multi-party elections. Though defeated for the presidency, Gbagbo later won a seat in the National Assembly. Amid ongoing political and ethnic unrest throughout Côte d’Ivoire, Gbagbo won the highly contentious and violent 2000 Ivorian presidential elections. Gbagbo remained president until 2010, when he was defeated in a highly contentious presidential election by Alassane Ouattara.

  • Interrupting Seasonal Transmission of Schistosoma Haematobium and Control of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis in Northern and Cent
    Tian-Bi et al. BMC Public Health (2018) 18:186 DOI 10.1186/s12889-018-5044-2 STUDYPROTOCOL Open Access Interrupting seasonal transmission of Schistosoma haematobium and control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in northern and central Côte d’Ivoire: a SCORE study protocol Yves-Nathan T. Tian-Bi1,2*, Mamadou Ouattara1,2, Stefanie Knopp3,4, Jean T. Coulibaly1,2,3,4, Eveline Hürlimann3,4, Bonnie Webster5, Fiona Allan5, David Rollinson5, Aboulaye Meïté6, Nana R. Diakité1,2, Cyrille K. Konan1,2, Eliézer K. N’Goran1,2 and Jürg Utzinger3,4* Abstract Background: To achieve a world free of schistosomiasis, the objective is to scale up control and elimination efforts in all endemic countries. Where interruption of transmission is considered feasible, countries are encouraged to implement a comprehensive intervention package, including preventive chemotherapy, information, education and communication (IEC), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and snail control. In northern and central Côte d’Ivoire, transmission of Schistosoma haematobium is seasonal and elimination might be achieved. In a cluster-randomised trial, we will assess different treatment schemes to interrupt S. haematobium transmission and control soil-transmitted helminthiasis over a 3-year period. We will compare the impact of (i) arm A: annual mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel and albendazole before the peak schistosomiasis transmission season; (ii) arm B: annual MDA after the peak schistosomiasis transmission season; (iii) arm C: two yearly treatments before and after peak schistosomiasis transmission; and (iv) arm D: annual MDA before peak schistosomiasis transmission, coupled with chemical snail control using niclosamide. Methods/design: The prevalence and intensity of S.
