Download or read book PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN written by David HouŽto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.

Download or read book Privatising the State written by Béatrice Hibou and published by C. HURST & CO. PUBLISHERS. This book was released on 2004 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privatisation is supposed to bring about the retreat of the state. But what happens when the state privatises itself and even its core functions - tax collection, internal security, customs - are auctioned to the highest bidder? Does this imply a weakening of the state? Or, rather, does it lead to a scrutiny and control? The contributors to this work examine these phenomena in the former Second and Third World (Central and Eastern Europe, China and other parts of Asia and Africa) highlighting the very different ways in which continuing state interference and privatisation are implemented. What we are witnessing, according to this study, is not the eclipse of the state under the impact of globalisation but the end of the relatively short era of the development state and its commanding role. privatisation does not necessarily lead to a weakening of state control; it leads to new, and often more informal, forms of interference and influence, and it is these that are the book's central theme.

Download or read book Partenariats public prive pour les services d eau urbains written by Philippe Marin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux responsables gouvernementaux ainsi qu'aux bailleurs de fonds et aux autres parties prenantes dans les services d'eau urbains. Il analyse les résultats enregistrés par plus de 65 grands Partenariats public-privé (PPP) du secteur de l'eau (représentant plus de 100 millions d'habitants desservis) mis en œuvre dans différentes régions du monde sur une période de 15 ans, du point de vue de l'accès à l'eau, de la qualité du service, de l'efficacité opérationnelle et du niveau des tarifs. Il vise à mieux comprendre comment résoudre les multiples problèmes que pose la fourniture de services d'eau et d'assainissement dans les villes des pays en développement (PED). La population urbaine desservie par des opérateurs privés de services d'eau dans les PED n'a cessé de grossir depuis 1990. Pour bon nombre d'entre elles, les progrès constatés en matière de service et d'efficacité confirment l'intérêt des PPP. La mise en œuvre de PPP pour les services d'eau dans les PED a rarement été une tâche facile, et ils ne doivent pas être considérés comme la seule voie de réforme possible. Néanmoins, il ressort de cette analyse de données factuelles qu'un partenariat bien conçu entre les secteurs public et privé dans un PED peut être efficace pour redresser une compagnie des eaux peu performante. Le principal objectif ne doit plus être d'attirer des capitaux privés mais d'utiliser des opérateurs privés pour améliorer la qualité et l'efficacité des services. Un cercle vertueux se crée alors, par lequel la compagnie des eaux améliore sa situation financière et devient progressivement capable de financer une part plus importante de ses besoins d'investissement.--Résumé de l'éditeur.
