Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs Although the number of total cases is still increasing, particularly in the epicentre of the epidemic in Macenta/Nzerekore, and in Kerouane (Kankan region), nine prefectures initially “red” (i.e. active) with Ebola cases are considered “green”, after 42 days without any new case of Ebola, and therefore considered Ebola free (see below map from the WHO sitrep of 12 Nov 2014). Guinea CO SITUATION REPORT 12 November 2014 However, since the beginning of the epidemic (in March 2014), 24 prefectures and the capital city of Conakry have been affected, representing a total population of 8.9 million (83 percent of the total national population estimated at 10.6 million – see details below). Estimated Affected Population (calculated based on districts affected and total population in these districts) Start of humanitarian response: June 2014 Total Male Female Total Affected Population (population in the 24 affected districts+ Conakry city) 8,872,551 4,322,664 4,550,107 Children Affected (Under 18) 4,258,920 2,074,869 12,184,051 Children Under Five 1,774,550 864,529 910,021 Children 6 to 23 months 532,365 259,359 273,006 Pregnant women 399,274 N/A 399,274 Additional context specific data: Total national Population (estimated from RGPH3, 2014). 10,628,972 5,142,088 5,486,884 Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination The UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) is coordinating the response of the UN system, in collaboration with the government, under the National Ebola Coordination body. The National Coordination body is divided into several commissions, including the Commissions of Communication, Surveillance, Treatment and care, Logistics, Security, etc., and covers most sectorial clusters. Prefectural (district) coordination mechanisms, with a Prefectural Coordinators nominated by central administration, are being setup progressively, with a structure that mirrors the national one, and with, in most cases, the same actors at national and prefectural levels (UN and NGOs field offices staff, prefectural services staff, etc.). The National Coordination body also recommends that political and administrative authorities (prefects / secretaries and health authorities at prefectural level), and local elected officials (mayors) ensure the implementation of Community Watch Committees (CWC) in communities, with technical and financial support from partners. Humanitarian Strategy The UNMEER strategic response plan, with contribution from all UN agencies intervening in the response, is organised under the following Strategic Objectives known as STEP: SO1. Stop the outbreak; SO2. Treat the infected; SO3. Ensure Essential Services ( Food, Nutrition, WASH, Logistics, Emergency Telecommunications, Education, Protection including Child Protection and GBV, Livelihoods, Early Recovery...); SO4. Preserve Stability. UNICEF contributes to all the UNMEER SOs, with particular focus on supporting the government to set up 41 Community Care Centers (CCC) and to support 2,560 “comités villageois de veille” (Community Watch Committees - CWCs – or community surveillance and social mobilisation committees). Summary Analysis of Programme Response UNICEF is supporting the new national strategy with the setup of an integrated approach, with: Community Care/Transit Centers (CCCs/CTCs) - Centres de Transit Communautaires – CTComs in French; Community Watch Committees (CWCs) – Comités Villageois de Veille (CVVs in French); and Community mechanisms of child protection. (see below the schematic presentation of the integrated approach): Guinea CO SITUATION REPORT 12 November 2014 Priority areas for CCCs/CTComs are along the borders with Liberia and Sierra-Leone (see blue coloured areas in the map below), but CWCs/CVVs (and Community mechanisms of child protection) are also planned in most of the affected prefectures. Guinea CO SITUATION REPORT 12 November 2014 Health The CCCs/CTComs model was discussed with the Ebola National Coordination body, and views of partners integrated in the final version. A teleconference was also held with Liberia and Sierra Leone to share experiences and ideas around the CCCs. One of the functions of the CCCs/CTComs will be to ensure continuity of community-based health and essential interventions for families (Community integrated management of infant and maternal health – without contact, distribution of treated mosquito nets and nutritional/food support). A meeting was organized last week with the Guinean Red Cross to discuss the terms of a partnership for training hygienists and managers of the CCCs/CTComs. WASH UNICEF launched the tender process for drilling 15 boreholes along the border with Sierra Leone, in the prefectures of Kindia and Forécariah, and for the installation of ten drinking fountains in Conakry. Supplies for 200,000 family WASH kits are being delivered to UNICEF warehouse in Conakry by local producers, and distribution to beneficiaries will be starting soon. Education A meeting was held with the Guinean Federation of Parents of Students and Friends of the School (FEGUIPAE), to identify axes of partnership in the perspective of the reopening of schools, as per the wish of the government. UNICEF will support FEGUIPAE for mobilizing parents around two key elements of hygiene in schools, namely: o Supply of water for schools without water points (currently only 18 percent of primary schools have water points); o Digging of latrines for schools that do not have latrines (about 33 percent of primary schools have no latrines). UNICEF launched a call for tenders towards international firms for the development of a radio education programme with national broadcast, as an alternative to normal schooling, in case the school reopening (still in the plan of the government) continues to be delayed. Child Protection Partnership agreements are in preparation with Save the Children, Plan Guinee, Enfance du Globe, Monde des Enfants (MDE) and Child Fund for the provision of psychosocial support to children orphaned by EVD and women widowed by EVD in the prefectures of Macenta, Guéckédou, Yomou, Lola, Kissidougou, Nzerekore and Conakry. Communications for Development (C4D) Pre-positioning of CVVS is crucial for the acceptance by communities of the CCCs/CTComs. A partnership agreement with the Coalition of National Council of Civil Society Organisations (CONSCG) is being prepared to roll out the first CVVs at the locations planned for the CCCs/CTComs (see map at the top).

    Vol-4 Issue-5 2018 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Biogas potential assessment of animal waste in Macenta prefecture (Republic of Guinea) Ansoumane SAKOUVOGUI1, Mamadou Foula BARRY1, Mamby KEITA2, Saa Poindo TONGUINO4 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 1,2 Higher Institute of Technology of Mamou - Guinea 3Department of Physics, Gamal Abdel Nasser University of Conakry - Guinea 4Higher Institute Agronomic of Faranah - Guinea ABSTRACT This study focuses on the evaluation of the biogas potential of animal wastes in Macenta Prefecture. The census of the three types of herds living in 14 sub-prefectures and the urban commune of Macenta was carried out, of which: 13386 cattles, 17418 pigs and 20005 laying hens. The assessment of daily waste by type of animal was made .The results were 4.23 kg/day of dung per cow; 2.41 kg/d and 2.21 kg/d of pig slurry respectively in semi- improved and local breeding; 0.013 kg/day of droppings per hen. These values made possible to estimate the daily quantities of waste by type of livestock: cow dung (56622.78 kg), pig manure (40967.38 kg) and chicken manure (260.065 kg). The total daily biogas potential of the waste is therefor of the order of 8969.606 m3, distributed as follows: 6164.427 m3 for cow dung; 2332.117 m3 for pig manure and 473.063 m3 for chicken manure. This potential is distributed by locality and livestock types. Keywords: Evaluation, Potential, Biogas, Waste, Animal. 1. Introduction Biogas is a colorless and flammable gas produced by anaerobic digestion of animal, plant, human, industrial and municipal waste.

    REPUBLIC OF GUINEA Work – Justice – Solidarity Ministry of the Economy, Finances and Planning Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper PRSP–2 (2007–2010) Conakry, August 2007 Permanent Secretariat for the Poverty Reduction Strategy (SP-SRP) Website: www.srp-guinee.org.Telephone: (00224) 30 43 10 80. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This document is the fruit of a collective effort that has involved many development stakeholders: executives of regionalized and decentralized structures, civil society organizations, development partners, etc. Warm thanks to all of them. The government would particularly like to acknowledge the grassroots organizations and civil society actors who, despite the difficulties that affected the implementation of the PRSP-I, have renewed their confidence in its action. The lessons learned from the implementation of the PRSP-I have helped in the design and preparation of the document. For this, the government again thanks the development partners who have accompanied it in this exercise and provided technical and financial contributions (EU, GTZ, SCAC, Canadian Cooperation), as well as the team of national experts who carried out field work with dedication and professionalism. Furthermore, without the painstaking work carried out in 2005 and 2006 as part of the process of refining the regional PRSPs, it certainly would not have been possible to prepare this document. The same is true of the work done, mainly in 2006, to evaluate needs aimed at reaching the MDGs. In this regard, we thank the United Nations System, and in particular the UNDP, for its exceptional contribution. Finally, the government extends its most sincere thanks to all those, both named and unnamed, who participated in this collective work.

Initially confined to the forest area, it quickly spread to neighboring regions and districts – often transmitted during traditional burial rites in which highly contagious corpses were handled. Due to the inadequate initial response, the virus quickly crossed national borders into Liberia and Sierra Leone. An appropriate response requires interventions based on the key levers of control and treatment: identification, referral and effective treatment of cases in Ebola treatment units (ETU) and the effective training and equipment of health workers; tracing and monitoring of every person known to have had physical contact with an infected person and isolation of those who develop symptoms; safe burials; active surveillance to identify new transmission chains; and communications campaigns to raise awareness of the dangers, signs and symptoms of EVD. Community members must be enlisted to support the efforts of the health and sanitation systems.
