  • Cholera Country Profile: Senegal
    WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control Last update: 5 February 2007 CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: SENEGAL General Country Information: The Republic of Senegal is located south of the Senegal River in western Africa. Senegal is bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, and Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south. Senegal became independent from France in 1960. In 1982, Senegal joined with Gambia to form the nominal confederation of Senegambia, but the foreseen integration of these two countries was never carried out, and the union was dissolved in 1989. Senegal remains one of the most stable countries in Africa, in spite of internal turmoils in Casamance where since 1982 a separatist group (Movement for the Democratic Forces of the Casamance) and government forces regularly clash. Furthermore, Senegal has a long history of participating in international peacekeeping. Economically Senegal made an important turnaround, during 1995-2001, with real growth in GDP averaging 5 % annually. Senegal exports mainly: fish, groundnuts (peanuts), petroleum products, phosphates and cotton. Cholera Background History: The first cases of cholera were reported in 1971-1972 (644 SENEGAL NOTIFIED CHOLERA CASES/DEATHS/CFR FROM 1971 to 2006 35000 25 cases) when the current pandemic hit the African continent.

Read Full License Page 1/14 Abstract As an active participant of global health cooperation in west Africa, the Republic of Senegal is one of the major recipients of international development assistance. Yet, funding and actions from different donors and implementing organizations are fragmented, which is one of the reasons that Senegal is failing to outstand its health performance disproportionally. This report provides an overview of Senegal’s population health status and health system performance and pinpoint areas that should be prioritized for focused global health assistance. Undernutrition and neonatal disorders were found to have posed the highest and most urgent risks on the public health of Senegal. This is intensied by the severe shortage of health human resources, vast disparity of resources between rural and urban areas, and unsatisfactory health

  • 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.
