It is the continent’s third longest river (4,200 kilometers), traversing nine countries—Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. The Niger River embodies the livelihoods and geopolitics of the nations it crosses. This river is not simply water, but is also an origin of identity, a route for migration and commerce, a source of potential conflict, and a catalyst for cooperation. As the regional population and economies grow, this life-giving resource will require integrated water resources management to address sustainably the increasing aspirations and needs of the people of the Basin. Regional cooperation among the nations sharing the Basin is crucial to optimizing sustainable economic development while ensuring environ- mentally sound management. Over previous decades, the Niger River Basin countries have focused more on unilateral water resources develop- ment than on the potential benefits of cooperation. Recently, however, the Basin countries have renewed their commitment to address sustainable management and development of the Basin’s resources through an improved framework and a Shared Vision process. In doing so, they are setting an important path for cooperative water resources planning, management, and development that could serve as a model for water resources management for Africa’s many shared rivers. From the Guinea highlands, through the Office du Niger in the Inland Delta, to the Niger Delta, the greatest opportunities will come from managing efficiently the water resources on which millions of people depend for their livelihoods, taking into consideration the range of demands, associated infrastructures, and ecological complexity. As in all river basins, different groups of users have conflicting priorities and preferences. Thus, it is important to understand how the river and its resources are used in order to avoid conflict and promote cooperation. This overview of the potential of the Niger River’s water resources discusses the hydrographic system—the river and its tributaries, hydrology, vii viii FOREWORD climate, and water quality and use. It attempts to capture the full spectrum of the Niger ecosystem’s values and benefits and to support the integra- tion of science and decision making, and, as such, can serve as a tool for transboundary cooperative management of shared water resources. The final chapter discusses the criteria for success that will be required to broker agreement for the cooperative development and management of the river. The book is presented as a contribution to support and foster the Shared Vision process for integrated management and development of this majestic river, for the benefit of the people of the Niger River Basin. Michel Wormser Sector Director Private Sector and Infrastructure Africa Region Acknowledgments This book intends to contribute to the Niger River Basin Shared Vision process. Having devoted much of his academic career to the study of the Niger River, Jean-Claude Olivry has produced an extensive study, based on his own research and a compilation of existing information. The study by Jean-Claude Olivry forms the background for this book. Drawing from his work, a team comprising Ousmane Dione, Martha Jarosewich-Holder, and Katherin Golitzen prepared chapters 1–3. The concluding chapter has been written by Inger Andersen (Director, Water, Environment, Social and Rural Development Unit, Middle East and North Africa Region), with input from the World Bank team, and provides a discussion of the criteria for suc- cess in water resources development in the Basin. The team would like to thank the Niger Basin Authority for its cooper- ation and support, namely Mohammed Bello Tuga (Executive Secretary), Ousmane Diallo (Environmental Specialist), Oumar Ould Ali (Chief Hydrologist), Robert Dessoussi (Hydrologist), and the Niger Basin Authority Focal Points within the nine member countries. The team also extends its thanks for reviews, input, suggestions, and comments received from Johan Grijsen, Amal Talbi, Esther Monier-Illouz, and cartographer Jeff Lecksell. The team is grateful for the technical input and peer review of Alessandro Palmieri, Lead Dam Specialist, Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development Network, World Bank. In addition, the team has benefited greatly from advice and guidance provided by David Grey, Senior Water Adviser, Africa Region, World Bank. Finally, the team expresses its appre- ciation to the government of the Netherlands for funding the translation and publication through a grant from the Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership Program. ix Executive Summary This book comprises two distinct elements. The first, and major, part of the book (chapters 1–3) is a unique and essential compilation of technical infor- mation and data on the entire Niger River system. It presents a compre- hensive overview of the physical environment and hydrological functions of the watershed, thus providing the necessary background for examina- tion of the challenges of resource management and development potential. The second part of the book (chapter 4) presents the fundamental challenges that the nine countries1 of the Basin face and are now addressing. Introduction The river is described in the first three chapters as a single hydrologic system, yet it has largely been developed unilaterally, in spite of the existence of a convention and a river basin organization. Chapter 4 presents a descrip- tion of the path that the political leaders of the Basin have chosen to take and a discussion of what is needed to achieve their goals. It is the combi- nation of these elements—the hydrology and geography of the river system with the economic opportunities,

  • Algeria–Mali Trade: the Normality of Informality
    101137 DEMOCRACY Public Disclosure Authorized AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ERF 21st ANNUAL CONFERENCE March 20-22, 2015 | Gammarth, Tunisia 2015 Public Disclosure Authorized Algeria–Mali Trade: The Normality of Informality Sami Bensassi, Anne Brockmeyer, Public Disclosure Authorized Matthieu Pellerin and Gael Raballand Public Disclosure Authorized Algeria–Mali Trade: The Normality of Informality Sami Bensassi Anne Brockmeyer Mathieu Pellerin Gaël Raballand1 Abstract This paper estimates the volume of informal trade between Algeria and Mali and analyzes its determinants and mechanisms, using a multi-pronged methodology. First, we discuss how subsidy policies and the legal framework create incentives for informal trade across the Sahara. Second, we provide evidence of the importance of informal trade, drawing on satellite images and surveys with informal traders in Mali and Algeria. We estimate that the weekly turnover of informal trade fell from approximately US$ 2 million in 2011 to US$ 0.74 million in 2014, but continues to play a crucial role in the economies of northern Mali and southern Algeria. Profit margins of 20-30% on informal trade contribute to explaining the relative prosperity of northern Mali. We also show that official trade statistics are meaningless in this context, as they capture less than 3% of total trade. Finally, we provide qualitative evidence on informal trade actors and mechanisms for the most frequently traded products. JEL classification codes: F14, H26, J46. Keywords: informal trade, Algeria, Mali, fuel, customs. 1 The authors would like to thank Mehdi Benyagoub for his help on this study, Laurent Layrol for his work on satellite images, Nancy Benjamin and Olivier Walther for their comments and Sabra Ledent for editing.

  • Recent Food Price Developments in Most Vulnerable Countries
    RECENT FOOD PRICE DEVELOPMENTS IN MOST VULNERABLE COUNTRIES - ISSUE NO 2, DECEMBER 2008 - This price watch bulletin covers the quarterly period from September to November 2008 . The objective of the bulletin is to provide early warning information on price changes of staple food commodities and their likely impact on the cost of the food basket. Price changes are determined for each country on a quarterly basis. Highlights: • Prices still remain significantly higher compared to last year and long term averages, especially in Eastern and Southern Africa, Asia and Middle East. Overall, the impact on the cost of the food basket remains relatively high. • However, in most of the 36 countries monitored, prices of main staple food commodities have slightly declined over the last three months. • West Africa: Staple food prices were generally stable during the last quarter, except in Benin and Senegal where prices have continued to rise-albeit at a lower rate. The year on year price changes remain higher than changes from long term averages. • East and Southern Africa: The region shows a mixed picture. Half of the countries are still experiencing upward price trends, with significant maize price increases observed in Malawi and Kenya. Prices remain very high compared to their long run averages, especially in the Horn of Africa. The situation remains alarming in Zimbabwe due to hyperinflation . • Asia and Selected Countries: Prices have either remained stable or declined, implying that the cost of food basket in these countries has declined more when compared to other regions such as Africa. However, they remain significantly higher in comparison to the long run averages.

Common consumption goods have eluded majority of the less privileged Nigerians. In cognizance of this, aggrieved youths take up arms in agitation for a fair share of the wealth that accrued to the federal government from the natural endowments of their local communities. The Borgu resettled communities are not exonerated from the politics of neglect and deprivations other regions are amplifying to the global community. Borgu produces electricity, but they do not have light, no quality schools, good access roads and efficient health facilities in spite of the sacrifices they make for national development. The paper recommended among others that good roads, electricity, health facilities and schools be provided for the people of Borgu.
