Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La situation alimentaire de l'Afrique subsaharienne est alarmante : l'insécurité alimentaire progresse et aucun retournement de tendance n'est prévu dans les prochaines décennies. La persistance de l'insécurité alimentaire est analysée ici comme la conséquence de la gestion des incertitudes par les acteurs clés : producteurs, commerçants, État, bailleurs de fonds. Mieux comprendre les déterminants de cette insécurité suppose une étude fine des relations complexes que nouent ces acteurs entre eux.
Download or read book La s curit alimentaire en questions written by Nicole Stäuble Tercier and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Afrique subsaharienne, le nombre de personnes souffrant de sous-alimentation a presque doublé en 20 ans et représente 40 % de la population. Depuis les années quatre-vingt, le secteur agricole en Afrique traverse une crise qui concerne aussi bien le secteur vivrier que le secteur d'exportation. En outre, le transfert en Afrique de la " Révolution verte asiatique " reste problématique : l'environnement naturel y est plus contraignant (climat, sols et irrigation) et les variétés à haut rendement (blé et riz) ne sont pas cultivables en Afrique tropicale. Lors du Sommet mondial de l'alimentation (World Food Summit) en novembre 1996, la FAO a réitéré " sa volonté de parvenir à la sécurité alimentaire pour tous [...] et de réduire de moitié le nombre des personnes sous-alimentées, d'ici à 2015 au plus tard ". Si actuellement la FAO envisage une " Nouvelle révolution verte et durable ", cette proclamation suscitera des doutes tant que la réflexion sur les causes de la faim ne l'emportera pas sur le débat entre deux positions divergentes : les déficits alimentaires sont dus soit à une production insuffisante, soit à une répartition injuste de cette production. Selon ces paradigmes, l'alternative fondamentale concernant la sécurité alimentaire reste toujours la même : faut-il privilégier la production agricole ou accorder la priorité à la réduction de la pauvreté et à l'amélioration de l'accès aux ressources alimentaires ? Le symposium intitulé " Dilemmes alimentaires - Food controversies ", organisé en novembre 1997 par la Société suisse d'études africaines, a repris ces thèmes et débats pour les projeter sur les réalités africaines. Il a tenté de dépasser les divergences existantes en mettant à disposition une plate-forme pour une discussion constructive entre les positions des différents acteurs concernés.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se restaurer dans la rue est une habitude chez les ouvriers au Gabon : à midi, ils se dirigent vers des unités de restauration installées à la périphéries des entreprises et tenues principalement par des femmes. Certaines d'entre elles viennent vendre leurs plats, d'autres préparent sur place. Ce commerce s'inscrit dans le secteur informel de l'alimentation et prend une dimension particulière puisqu'il offre aux ouvriers des aliments prêts à être consommés et peu chers, ainsi que la possibilité de s'ouvrir aux autres.

Download or read book Women and Trade written by World Bank;World Trade Organization and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.
Download or read book Food Systems in Africa written by Gaëlle Balineau and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid population growth, poorly planned urbanization, and evolving agricultural production and distribution practices are changing foodways in African cities and creating challenges: Africans are increasingly facing hunger, undernutrition, and malnutrition. Yet change also creates new opportunities. The food economy currently is the main source of jobs on the continent, promising more employment in the near future in farming, food processing, and food product distribution. These opportunities are undermined, however, by inefficient links among farmers, intermediaries, and consumers, leading to the loss of one-third of all food produced. This volume is an in-depth analysis of food system shortcomings in three West African cities: Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Rabat, Morocco; and Niamey, Niger. Using the lens of geographical economics and sociology, the authors draw on quantitative and qualitative field surveys and case studies to offer insightful analyses of political institutions. They show the importance of “hard†? physical infrastructure, such as transport, storage, and wholesale and retail market facilities. They also describe the “soft†? infrastructure of institutions that facilitate trade, such as interpersonal trust, market information systems, and business climates. The authors find that the vague mandates and limited capacities of national trade and agriculture ministries, regional and urban authorities, neighborhood councils, and market cooperatives often hamper policy interventions. This volume comes to a simple conclusion: international development policy makers and their financial and technical partners have neglected urban markets for far too long, and now is the time to rethink and reinvest in this complex yet crucial subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.

Download or read book Topics in Audiovisual Translation written by Pilar Orero and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-10-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late twentieth-century transition from a paper-oriented to a media-oriented society has triggered the emergence of Audiovisual Translation as the most dynamic and fastest developing trend within Translation Studies. The growing interest in this area is a clear indication that this discipline is going to set the agenda for the theory, research, training and practice of translation in the twenty-first century. Even so, this remains a largely underdeveloped field and much needs to be done to put Screen Translation, Multimedia Translation or the wider implications of Audiovisual Translation on a par with other fields within Translation Studies. In this light, this collection of essays reflects not only the “state of the art” in the research and teaching of Audiovisual Translation, but also the professionals’ experiences. The different contributions cover issues ranging from reflections on professional activities, to theory, the impact of ideology on Audiovisual Translation, and the practices of teaching and researching this new and challenging discipline.In expanding further the ground covered by the John Benjamins’ book (Multi)Media Translation (2001), this book seeks to provide readers with a deeper insight into some of the specific concepts, problems, aims and terminology of Audiovisual Translation, and, by this token, to make these specificities emerge from within the wider nexus of Translation Studies, Film Studies and Media Studies. In a quickly developing technical audiovisual world, Audiovisual Translation Studies is set to become the academic field that will address the complex cultural issues of a pervasively media-oriented society.

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.
