Discussion Spaces

Abstract: This paper frames the daily life of education outside of formal school, by considering two types of non-formal discussion spaces in Côte d’Ivoire. I argue that both traditional and modern learning were reinvented in the street in response to the Ivoirian political crisis through the proliferation of spaces called grins and agoras. At daily meetings, teenagers and adults gathered important information regarding the crisis and also learned how to be in a conflicted society, often through dialogic encounters between members of different generations, professions and experiences. In the post-conflict context, these spaces, and the dialogue within them, have evolved to meet the changing needs of participants, further highlighting the connection between learning in everyday life and the surrounding structures and systems.

Changements Climatiques

Les forêts classées du Nord de la Côte d’Ivoire connaissent un phénomène d’anthropisation accrue, notamment à la faveur de la crise sociopolitique de 2002 à 2011. A cela, s’ajoute l’effet des changements climatiques qui ont des conséquences sur la qualité de la biodiversité. Cette étude recherche, à travers l’analyse de paramètres floristiques et de la dynamique d’occupation du sol, des informations scientifiques fiables devant guider les orientations d’aménagement d’une forêt classée située dans la Région de la Bagoué, au Nord-Ouest du pays. L’étude de la dynamique de la couverture végétale de la Forêt classée est réalisée à travers une analyse diachronique des images satellitaires Landsat ETM de janvier 2002 et ETM + de mars 2016. L’appréciation des paramètres floristiques est basée sur l’interprétation des données d’inventaire floristique. Les résultats cartographiques montrent une régression des formations boisées passant de 81,75 % en 2002 à 71,19 % en 2016, soit un taux de régression annuel de 0,7 %. Concernant l’étude floristique, au total 281 espèces végétales, réparties entre 210 genres et rangées dans 71 familles, ont été inventoriées dans la forêt classée. Par cette flore, 18 espèces ont présenté un statut particulier, preuve de la valeur de conservation de cette formation végétale. Ce résultat pourrait servir pour la mise en place d’une forêt classée dans la Région de la Bagoué en Côte d’Ivoire. The classified forests of the north of Ivory Coast are experiencing an increased anthropization phenomenon, in particular thanks to the socio-political crisis from 2002 to 2011. In addition to this is the effect of climate change that has consequences on the quality of biodiversity. This paper focuses on the analysis of floristic parameters, the dynamics of land use, and reliable scientific information to guide the development orientations of a classified forest located in the Bagoué Region in the North-West. The study of the dynamics of the vegetation cover of the classified forest was carried out through a diachronic analysis of the Landsat ETM images of January 2002 and ETM + of March 2016. The appreciation of the floristic parameters is based on the interpretation of the floristic inventory data. The cartographic results show a regression of woodlands from 81.75% in 2002 to 71.19% in 2016, i.e., an annual rate of decline of 0.7%. Concerning the floristic study, a total of 281 plant species, divided between 210 genera and arranged in 71 families, were inventoried in the classified forest. Through this flora, 18 species presented a special status, which is a proof of the conservation value of this plant formation. This result could be used for the establishment of a classified forest in Bagoué Region of Côte d’Ivoire.

The Impact

The inclusion of education in post-conflict reconstruction in a transitional justice process goes far beyond physical construction and educational facilities to become part of national educational planning and policy. The issue of education in post-conflict periods is at the level of the national education system in general and of educational policies and strategies in particular. In Côte d’Ivoire, as in other countries emerging from violent conflict, even if the issue of education can be identified in the structural and direct causes of the occurrence of conflicts, it must be recognized that the impact of these conflicts on education remains considerable at different levels. Thus, taking account of its consequences in post-conflict reconstruction in the context of transitional justice is of great interest both for its contribution to economic growth and for the promotion of fundamental human rights and social cohesion. A full involvement of education in the transitional justice process is a real potential for mutual reinforcement in the reconstruction process. Practical synergies between education and transitional justice call for closer collaboration between education and transitional justice actors.

Bushmeat Trade

AbstractFor most Ivorian regions quantitative data on the exploitation of bushmeat by local communities are scarce. We studied hunting patterns around Dassioko Sud Forest Reserve, a remnant coastal forest in south-eastern Côte d'Ivoire, through a 6-month survey of nine restaurants, in three villages surrounding the Reserve. We collected quantitative and qualitative data on the bushmeat brought to restaurants, as well as the final price for which it was sold. We calculated mean prices over the study period and extrapolated to the whole year. A total of 376 mammals (98%) and eight reptiles (2%) were sold in the restaurants surveyed. Rodents and small antelopes represented 74% of the mammals sold, probably reflecting the fact that reproductive strategists persist more successfully in heavily hunted and/or agricultural landscapes, such as the area around the Reserve. Our conservative estimate of the total biomass of bushmeat harvested annually around the Reserve is c. 40,428.03 kg (c. 11,886 animals), with a monetary value of c. FCFA 47,728,516 (c. USD 93,485.75 ), yielding an annual income of c. USD10,387.31 per person, which exceeds the mean annual income of cocoa farmers (FCFA 466,032/USD 932) more than tenfold. Although the sustainability of the bushmeat trade in the surveyed area remains unknown, we showed that hunters predominantly used cable snares, the Reserve was significantly affected by hunting activities (c. 53% of the bushmeat originated there), and larger mammalian species had been extirpated. A lack of effective protection exposes the Reserve to multiple illegal activities, including hunting, a situation exacerbated by the political crisis in 2010.
