  • THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC and Small Arms Survey by Eric G
    SMALL ARMS: A REGIONAL TINDERBOX A REGIONAL ARMS: SMALL AND REPUBLIC AFRICAN THE CENTRAL Small Arms Survey By Eric G. Berman with Louisa N. Lombard Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies 47 Avenue Blanc, 1202 Geneva, Switzerland p +41 22 908 5777 f +41 22 732 2738 e [email protected] w www.smallarmssurvey.org THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC AND SMALL ARMS A REGIONAL TINDERBOX ‘ The Central African Republic and Small Arms is the most thorough and carefully researched G. Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

  • Difference-Based Analysis of the Impact of Observed Game Parameters on the Final Score at the FIBA Eurobasket Women 2019
    Original Article Difference-based analysis of the impact of observed game parameters on the final score at the FIBA Eurobasket Women 2019 SLOBODAN SIMOVIĆ1 , JASMIN KOMIĆ2, BOJAN GUZINA1, ZORAN PAJIĆ3, TAMARA KARALIĆ1, GORAN PAŠIĆ1 1Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina 2Faculty of Economy, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina 3Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT Evaluation in women's basketball is keeping up with developments in evaluation in men’s basketball, and although the number of studies in women's basketball has seen a positive trend in the past decade, it is still at a low level. This paper observed 38 games and sixteen variables of standard efficiency during the FIBA EuroBasket Women 2019. Two regression models were obtained, a set of relative percentage and relative rating variables, which are used in the NBA league, where the dependent variable was the number of points scored. The obtained results show that in the first model, the difference between winning and losing teams was made by three variables: true shooting percentage, turnover percentage of inefficiency and efficiency percentage of defensive rebounds, which explain 97.3%, while for the second model, the distinguishing variables was offensive efficiency, explaining for 96.1% of the observed phenomenon. There is a continuity of the obtained results with the previous championship, played in 2017. Of all the technical elements of basketball, it is still the shots made, assists and defensive rebounds that have the most significant impact on the final score in European women’s basketball.

  • The Madagascar and Indian Ocean Islands Hotspot Ecosystem Profile Summary
    The Madagascar and Indian Ocean Islands Hotspot Ecosystem Profile Summary 1 About CEPF Established in 2000, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a global leader in enabling civil society to participate in and influence the conservation of some of the world’s most critical ecosystems. CEPF is a joint initiative of l’Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. CEPF is unique among funding mechanisms in that it focuses on high-priority biological areas rather than political boundaries and examines conservation threats on a landscape scale. From this perspective, CEPF seeks to identify and support a regional, rather than a national, approach to achieving conservation outcomes and engages a wide range of public and private institutions to address conservation needs through coordinated regional efforts. CEPF’s first phase of investment in this hotspot ran from 2001 to 2006 and totaled US$4.25 million. A consolidation phase of US$1.4 million followed, though it was delayed due to the country’s political situation and ran from 2009 to 2012. CEPF’s investments achieved significant results, particularly by helping to establish more than 1 million hectares of new protected areas, improving the livelihoods of communities near several protected areas, and by developing a direct link between improving livelihoods and preserving biodiversity. CEPF’s support enabled the participation of a broad range of stakeholders—many of whom had never had the opportunity to operate independently—and also enabled more well-known organizations to take risks to undertake conservation efforts with uncertain outcomes.

  • Madagascar 2012
    Madagascar 2012 www.africaneconomicoutlook.org Madagascar The political crisis continued to affect Madagascar economically and socially in 2011 and gross domestic product (GDP) grew by a weak 0.6%. It should grow faster in 2012, by 2.4%, and in 2013, by 4.5%. The political crisis also slowed (and in some cases stopped) most public sector reforms. However, the budget deficit was contained at 1.3% of GDP in 2011 thanks to continuing spending austerity and should remain steady in 2012. Youth employment remains a big problem, with 5.9% of under-25s out of work, compared with an overall rate of 3.8%. Urban youths were more affected (8.9%) than those in the countryside (3.9%) but these low figures hide a rate of under-employment which is more explosive. The country has a national job support programme but the current political and institutional instability has prevented it from achieving its goals. Overview The political crisis continued in 2011, affecting the economy and society. Higher oil and food prices and poor rainfall also played their part and real GDP rose by only 0.6%, barely more than the 0.5% in 2010. The economy should expand, however, by 2.4% in 2012 and 4.5% in 2013, owing to hopes of a solution to the crisis after agreement on a road-map on 17 September 2011 and the strength of the mining sector. But the ongoing economic crisis in the euro area could undermine this momentum with a fall in demand for Madagascan goods and high unemployment in Europe that could reduce exports and affect the tourist industry.
