  • The Potential of Kuznets Cycle Model in the Analysis of Economy of Sub-Saharan Africa
    UDC 330.552: 339.9 The Potential of Kuznets Cycle Model in the Analysis of Economy of Sub-Saharan Africa ZOIA SOKOLOVA1 ABSTRACT. The article covers the peculiarities of economic development of the two countries of Sub-Saharan Africa – Ghana and Senegal from 1970 to 2013. The trends of their GDP and GDP per capita were analysed. The question of how these indices are affected by changes in population, structure of production, flows of foreign direct investment (FDI) and official development assistance (ODA), as well as the number of employees by economic sectors and indicators distribution of income was investigated. Comparing with other investigations much attention was paid to the trends of remittances from citizens abroad to Ghana and Senegal in addition to these factors. It is revealed that ODA was more important for two countries during a period of slow growth, and during the period of rapid growth of FDI and the growth of GDP, the flows of FDI and ODA were more significant in Ghana, and remittances and SDT – in Senegal. Services are significantly superior in the structure of production of two countries. Among the different types, financial and insurance services are predominant in Ghana and Senegal. The share of agriculture in the structure of production of two countries decreased somewhat during the specified period, while the share of industry increased, which occurred at the expense of the mining sector and construction. It has been determined that there are cycles of ups and downs associated with restructuring of production in the economic processes of Ghana and Senegal. It has been established that not only the human factor, as determined in the conclusions of Kuznets S., but also capital, are important for the growth of their production.

Buffett Foundation, addresses the challenge of providing long term access to clean water and sanitation, as well as protecting and managing ecosystem services and watersheds, for the poorest and most vulnerable people dependant on those services. Water provision under GWI takes place in the context of securing the resource base and developing new or improved approaches to water management, and forms part of a larger framework for addressing poverty, power and inequalities that particularly affect the poorest populations. This means combining a practical focus on water and sanitation delivery with investments targeted at strengthening institutions, raising awareness and developing effective policies.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract That Most Perfidious Institution is a study of Africans - slaves and slave owners - and their central roles in both the expansion of slavery in the early nineteenth century and attempts to reform servile relationships in the late nineteenth century. The pivotal place of Africans can be seen in the interaction between indigenous slave-owning elites (aristocrats and urban Euro-African merchants), local European administrators, and slaves themselves. My approach to this problematic is both chronologically and geographically comparative. The central comparison between Senegal and the Gold Coast contrasts the varying impact of colonial policies, integration into the trans-Atlantic economy; and, more importantly, the continuity of indigenous institutions and the transformative agency of indigenous actors.

    Dynamic Effects of an Economic Partnership Agreement: Implications for Senegal Cissokho Lassana Suffolk University [email protected] [email protected] Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association Annual Meeting, Corpus Christi, TX, February 5-8, 2011 Copyright 2011 by [authors]. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. Dynamic E¤ects of an Economic Partnership Agreement: Implications for Senegal Cissokho Lassana Su¤olk University December 4, 2010 Abstract In this paper, I use a dynamic recursive computable general equilibrium to evaluate, for the economy of Senegal, the dynamic e¤ects of an economic Partnership Agreement between West African countries and the European Union. In the simulation, the liberalization scheme is designed in a way similar to the interim agreement signed by Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana. The e¤ects described are the shifts from the baseline numbers. I found that the production of agricultural goods will decrease, a¤ecting employment negatively, particularly in unskilled labor, since this sector is very labor intensive. In fact, employment drops at around 0.2 percent a year, during the simulation period (2012-2030). GDP grows on average by 1.9 percent a year. The e¤ects of the economic partnership agreement closely mirror the results of a free trade agreement between Senegal and the European Union, implying that a customs union between West African countries is not necessary to reap of the bene…t of the former. 1 Introduction West African countries and the European Union (EU) are a step closer to establishing of a new framework for their trade relationship: an economic partnership agreement (EPA), consistent with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

  • Conservation Agriculture in Senegal: Comparing the Effects of Intercropping and Mulching on Millet Yields
    Conservation agriculture in Senegal: comparing the effects of intercropping and mulching on millet yields Patrick J. Trail Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Crop & Soil Environmental Sciences A. Ozzie Abaye, Chair Thomas L. Thompson Wade E. Thomason January 30th, 2015 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Sahel, Senegal, Millet, Cowpea, Mungbean, Intercropping, Mulch, Conservation Agriculture Copyright 2015, Patrick J. Trail Conservation agriculture in Senegal: comparing the effects of intercropping and mulching on millet yields Patrick J. Trail Abstract Situated on the western edge of Africa’s harsh Sahel region, Senegal faces a number of agricultural production constraints. Limited rainfall, poor soil fertility, and insufficient agronomic inputs all contribute to low yielding millet production systems. This study was initiated to assess the potential for intercropping either cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) or mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) into traditional pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) cropping systems. During the 2013 and 2014 growing seasons two varieties of cowpea (upright and viney), and one variety of mungbean (upright) were grown in monoculture and subsequently intercropped with millet to evaluate the potential for increasing millet and overall yields. Millet was also planted with a mulch (2 t/ha of neem leaves) to test the effectiveness of increased ground cover on millet yields. In addition to yield data, soil moisture and plant NDVI data were also collected. Millet grain yields increased when intercropped with either cowpea or mungbean compared to millet that was grown alone, with grain yield increases of up to 55%.

  • Society. Given the Current Climate of Anti-Intellectualism
    The Senegal 2000 Research Program; Momar Coumba Diop Abstract This article is an overview of the principal accomplish­ ments of the research program known as the "Senegal 2000 project," which undertook an examination and analysis of Senegalese state and society at the dawn of the new century. A team of social scientists and historians of different generations, nationalities, and disciplinary back­ grounds worked together over a period of years to produce an impressive series of works, presented mostly in the fotm of edited volumes published by CODESRIAEditions Karthala, on Senegalese economy, politics, culture, and society. Given the current climate of anti-intellectualism and persistent pressures to narrow social science research agendas, tbjs overview of the Senegal2000 project serves to rugWight some of the real issues at stake in today's era of political, economic, and social restructuring in Senegal and in West Africa. 1n doing so, it frames some of the dilemmas and choices that are faced by those who, in their diverse ways, are shaping tbe future of tills region. Tbe author is Momar Coumba Diop, a principal coordinator of tbe Senegal 2000 project, and current director of the Centre de Recherches sur les Politiques Sociales (CRE­ POS), BP 6333, Dakar-Etoile, Senegal. ;This article is reprinted, with permission, from the fall 2004 issue of the newsletter of the West African Research Association (WARA). Our original objective was to publish all the research results by the year 2000.
