  • Engaging with the Private Sector for Urban Onsite Sanitation Services Lessons from Six Sub-Saharan African Cities

    Engaging with the Private Sector for Urban Onsite Sanitation Services Lessons from Six Sub-Saharan African Cities

    Engaging with the Private Sector for Urban Onsite Sanitation Services Lessons from six sub-Saharan African cities January 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BMGF and DFID Partnership Cities Project: an initiative to address the challenges of onsite sanitation services for the urban poor In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), over 300 million people use unimproved sanitation facilities (JMP 2017). The rapid pace of urbanization experienced across the continent poses a key challenge to urban authorities, who often struggle to match the rate of expansion with increased services. The extent of networked, and often poorly performing sewerage services is very limited in many African cities, with only around 9% of the urban population connected in SSA. Onsite sanitation prevails, particularly in low-income areas. Onsite sanitation is often deemed in sector policy to be a ‘private’ rather than a ‘public’ good. Households are therefore generally expected to invest in their own facilities, often with limited attention from governments on associated services, such as emptying, transport and treatment of fecal sludge (FS). Another common challenge is that governments do not consider pit toilets, which are widespread in many cities, to be an acceptable solution for urban areas. Fecal Sludge Management (FSM) in many African cities is characterized by unregulated private operators, poor quality services, particularly for low-income areas, and a lack of investment in infrastructure across the sanitation value chain. In 2013, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Department for International Development of the UK Government (DfID) launched the Partnership Cities Project. This project sought to find solutions to sustainable onsite sanitation services, aiming to support investments in infrastructure, build partnerships between key actors at city-level, and showcase new service delivery models.
  • The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA)

    The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA)

    The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA) Moving Forward Financing for Africa’s Infrastructure I. Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships for infrastructure transformation 1. We, African Heads of State and Government, Ministers and representatives of African countries, Regional Economic Communities, leading business, investment and private sector organizations, development finance institutions as well as development partner institutions, met in Dakar, Senegal on 15 June 2014 at the Financing Summit for Africa’s Infrastructure, to build and strengthen innovative synergies between the public and private sectors towards mobilizing pan-African and global financial investments for infrastructure development in the continent. 2. The Dakar Financing Summit was held under the distinguished leadership of His Excellency Macky SALL, President of the Republic of Senegal and Chairperson of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). The Summit was preceded by a Preparatory Forum on 14 June. 3. Noting that infrastructure development remains a key driver and a critical enabler for sustainable growth in Africa, we reaffirm that the current favourable economic landscape in the continent provides unique opportunity to collectively address the infrastructure deficit by financing critical national and regional high impact projects. Addressing Africa’s infrastructure gaps will help in creating the economic pre-conditions needed for longer-term growth enshrined in the goals of African Union and NEPAD. 4. Acknowledging Africa’s steady growth in the past decade, its much improved macro-economic performance and public finance management which helped in withstanding the impact of the global economic crisis, we re-emphasize the paramount need for the growth impact to be geared towards social inclusiveness and competitiveness through infrastructure modernization.

    FS METEOR Reise 65, 2. Fahrtabschnitt Dakar-Las Palmas 1

    FS METEOR Reise 65, 2. Fahrtabschnitt Dakar-Las Palmas 1. Wochenbericht, 04.07-11.07.05 Auf unserer Meteorreise M65/2 sollen Muster des Massentransportes am NW-Afrikanischen Kontinentalhang untersucht werden. Arbeiten sind vor allem in zwei Gebieten geplant. Ziel der Arbeiten südlich von Dakar (Senegal) ist es, ein Modell zu entwickeln, das die Transportdynamik vom Flachwasser in die Tiefsee an einem Canyon-dominierten Ozeanrand beschreibt. Im Bereich des Cap Timiris Canyons (Mauretanien) soll durch eine Analyse der Sedimenttransportbahnen und der zeitlichen Variabilität lokaler sedimentärer Prozesse die Entstehungsgeschichte des Canyons gezielt untersucht werden. Dinoflagellatenzysten werden im gesamten Arbeitsgebiet analysiert. Zusätzlich werden vor Cap Blanc Verankerungsarbeiten durchgeführt. Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, haben sich für diesen Abschnitt Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Amerika, England, den Niederlanden, Marokko, ein Beobachter aus dem Senegal sowie Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter des DFG Forschungszentrums Ozeanränder der Universität Bremen an Bord der Meteor eingeschifft. Als der Großteil der Gruppe am 02.07. abends in Dakar ankam, waren die Container bereits an Bord, so dass wir am 04.07. im Laufe des Vormittages planmäßig auslaufen konnten. Vorbei an der Ile de Gorée, heute Weltkulturerbe und früher Umschlagstelle von Menschen, bevor sie als Sklaven über den Atlantik verschifft wurden, begann das wissenschaftliche Programm nach Verlassen der 3-Meilen-Zone mit dem Anschalten der hydroakustischen Systeme der Meteor. Ursprünglich wollten wir auch Arbeiten vor Guinea-Bissau durchführen, für die wir leider keine Forschungsgenehmigung erhalten haben. Daher haben wir in der ersten Woche den nicht minder interessanten Kontinentalhang südlich von Dakar bis zur Grenze Guinea-Bissaus mit seismischen und hydroakustischen Methoden kartiert, deren Ergebnisse auch als Grundlage für die Auswahl von Kernstationen dienten.

During the reporting week, there was an incident involving a response team performing burial activity in Butembo. This came barely days following a widespread community strike (“ville morte”) in Beni and several towns, and an earlier armed attack in Beni. These incidents severely disrupted most outbreak control interventions. Meanwhile, EVD cases have been confirmed in new areas with worse insecurity and in close proximity to the border with Uganda.

    Investing in Peace and the Prevention of Violence in the Sahel-Sahara: Third Regional Conversations

    Investing in Peace and the Prevention of Violence in the Sahel-Sahara: Third Regional Conversations SEPTEMBER 2018 Introduction Regional security responses to violent extremism in the Sahel-Sahara are necessary, but have been limited in their scope and efficacy. This is in part because they have historically addressed the symptoms of violence rather than the holistic range of factors that incite and foster it. Violence and violent extremism are complex phenomena that vary from one region to another and demand contextually specific solutions. In order to transform the conditions deemed conducive to violent extremism, regional players at every level must On June 24 and 25, 2018, the third commit to serious investment in peacebuilding and peaceful coexistence. Regional Conversations on the Prevention of Violent Extremism in The ongoing need for a forum for exchanging ideas and developing the Sahel-Sahara took place in multilateral approaches to violence prevention in the Sahel-Sahara motivated Algiers, Algeria. This event was co- the International Peace Institute (IPI), the United Nations Office for West organized by IPI, the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS), the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign (UNOWAS), the Swiss Federal Affairs (FDFA), and the African Union’s African Centre for the Study and Department of Foreign Affairs Research of Terrorism (ACSRT) to organize the third round of Regional (FDFA), and the African Union’s Conversations for the Prevention of Violent Extremism, with support from African Centre for the Study and the government of Algeria. This meeting was officially opened by the Algerian Research on Terrorism (ACSRT), with support from the government minister of foreign affairs and brought together more than seventy experts and of Algeria.
  • Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature

    Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature

    SocArXiv Preprint: May 25, 2020 Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature Yusuke Arima1* [email protected] Hideki Kikumoto2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Global suicide rates vary by country1, yet the cause of this variability has not yet been explained satisfactorily2,3. In this study, we analyzed averaged suicide rates4 and annual mean temperature in the early 21st century for 183 countries worldwide, and our results suggest that suicide rates vary with climatic temperature. The lowest suicide rates were found for countries with annual mean temperatures of approximately 20 °C. The correlation suicide rate and temperature is much stronger at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. In the countries with higher temperature, high suicide rates appear with its temperature over about 25 °C. We also investigated the variation in suicide rates with climate based on the Köppen–Geiger climate classification5, and found suicide rates to be low in countries in dry zones regardless of annual mean temperature. Moreover, there were distinct trends in the suicide rates in island countries. Considering these complicating factors, a clear relationship between suicide rates and temperature is evident, for both hot and cold climate zones, in our dataset. Finally, low suicide rates are typically found in countries with annual mean temperatures within the established human thermal comfort range. This suggests that climatic temperature may affect suicide rates globally by effecting either hot or cold thermal stress on the human body.
