The objective of this paper is to analyze the external environment of the Ivorian banking sector to identify relevant factors that may affect it somehow. To do so, we use the Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological and Legal (PESTL) basic framework as inspiration to implement our analytical process. We conduct our analysis by looking at factual elements and secondary data collected from trustworthy institutions. On the one hand, it appears that Côte d’Ivoire is a well-positioned country with numerous endowments, important investments opportunities, and a relatively open market. Banks can take advantage of the country’s development trend by managing and channeling the inflow of money. On the other hand, socio-political unrests, regional issues, and corruption are threats. Moreover, the strategic role of this country seems to be a significant factor to consider in relation to competition, political actions, and bank regulation.

The Town

In the border town of Niablé, smuggling is omnipresent. The operation of this activity is based on the one hand, on social cultural relationship between neigh boring populations, and on the other hand on monetary disparities between Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Without denying the truth fullness of such an activity, smugglers, organized in a highly hierarchical system operate according to a strict behavioral code where one’s given word and mutual confidence are the sole modus operandi. It permits them to bring goods of diverse natures (oil products, food, pharmaceuticals, second-hand clothes drinks, etc.) in Niablé. Thus, this activity seems to be a real opportunity for these smugglers, longing for the improvement of their welfare. Besides, the smuggling allows its actors to contribute to the town’s blossoming. Such a perception of smuggling gives an idea of the animation going on in this border town. In a word, though we want it or not smuggling participates in the socio-spatial change of the town even if sometimes, it stands as an obstacle to its development. Through this contribution, we are willing to show the operation of smuggling and its influence on the town of Niablé.

The One

On the African continent, the use of Internet and social media has been growing at an incredible speed in the past decade. Social media have thus been used in an array of instances such as election periods, natural disasters, and political crises. However, previous research on social media has barely taken a look at the use of social media during war. By investigating on the use of Twitter during the post electoral crisis in Côte d’Ivoire in 2010/2011, this study wants to emphasize the potential of social media for the development of democracy in the context of crisis, war, and limited media freedom. Through a content analysis of Twitter and qualitative expert interviews with Ivoirian bloggers, this study found that Twitter was mainly used for political debate and crowdsourcing information. The crisis turning over to a civil war, the network was used in particular by a small group of active citizens and bloggers, operating as technically versed opinion leaders, to provide humanitarian help for the population caught in the crisis. Results further showed that mobile devices played a crucial role for the use of Twitter within the country and indicated that the post electoral crisis considerably contributed to the discovery of Twitter in Côte d’Ivoire. A central finding is that Twitter, on the one hand, was used for diffusing false information and expressing verbal violence and, on the other hand, it served to verify information and throwback rumors.

The Dougbafla gold deposit is located in the West-Central part of Côte d’Ivoire at about 240 km from Abidjan, on the Birimian greenstone belt of Fettèkro (West African craton). The lithologies of this deposit can be divided into three lithotectonic units which correspond to volcanic, sedimentary, and plutonic assemblages metamorphosed in the shale facies. Hydrothermalism, on the one hand, caused a pervasive alteration of the primary paragenesis marked by sericitic, silica, and carbonate alteration. On the other hand, it causes a vein alteration materialized by quartz veins. These hydrothermal alterations induced two types of gold mineralization in the Dougbafla deposit. These are: (i) disseminated gold and sulphide mineralization in the granophyre associated with sericite, silica and dolomite alteration in which no quartz vein has been reported; this type however is controlled by the intrusion of granophyre and (ii) a quartz vein mineralization controlled by deformation.

Le 20 novembre 1989, l’Assemblée Générale de l’Organisation des Nations unies a adopté, à l’unanimité, la Convention relative aux droits de l’enfant . Une éducation aux droits de l’enfant semble être alors essentielle, en ce sens qu’elle permet à l’enfant en tant qu’être vulnérable et dépendant, d’acquérir des connaissances sur ces droits. Ainsi, cette étude se propose d’une part, de mettre en exergue les contenus d’enseignements relatifs au thème des droits de l’enfant dans le programme scolaire de l’école primaire en Côte d’Ivoire. D’autre part, elle met en relation le contenu de cet enseignement et les représentations des instituteurs interrogés à ce sujet. Une analyse de contenu des guides maître et des entretiens semi directifs réalisés avec 12 instituteurs montrent que, si les droits des enfants sont pris en compte dans le curriculum formel, nous notons une divergence de point de vue dans la perception chez ceux-là même qui sont chargés de les dispenser.   On November 20, 1989, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Education of the child’s rights seems, therefore, to be very essential because it helps the child, as a vulnerable and dependent being, to acquire knowledge about these rights. This paper focuses, on the one hand, on highlighting the teaching content relating to the theme of the rights of the child in the school curriculum of primary school in Côte d'Ivoire. On the other hand, it focuses on the content of this teaching and the representations of the teachers questioned in this subject. A content analysis of the master guides and of the semi-structured interviews carried out with 12 teachers show that if the rights of children are taken into account based on the formal curriculum, a divergence of viewpoint would be mentioned through the perceptions of those who are even in charge of teaching them.

Constant Source

In Côte d'Ivoire, as elsewhere in the French-speaking world, the French language is characterized by a constant movement on the lexical and semantic level. This situation, which testifies to the dynamism of French in a foreign context, is a constant source of thought for linguists. The present study focuses on the statement Old Father, this is your little one, a recurring expression in the Ivorian conversational landscape. Using the tools and methods of structural grammar and grammar of meaning, the analysis brings out the referential dimension, the meaning and the sense effects subsequent to the use of this utterance.The study shows that, contrary to the standard meaning which indicates a simple presentation of individuals in the same discursive environment, in the Ivorian context, the statement evokes two opposite social classes: on the one hand, the category of old fathers and the other that of the little ones. In addition, the statement covers several values: the comparison of two social classes involved, the evocation of a fake filiality, the axiological values of self-pity and of request.

Negative Impacts

The present article is the result of investigations to try to understand the persistence of illegal artisanal gold mining in Côte d'Ivoire where the phenomenon, although illegal, continues to grow for about twenty years. Relying on the case of the Yaouré area, the study was conducted mainly from the consultation of secondary data and groups and key informant interviews. Survey data indicate that the illegal artisanal gold mining activity is a very lucrative business in which many players involved at various levels and with specific roles, are catered for at financially. The presence of people from the modern environment supposed to fight against clandestine gold mining continues certainly an explanatory factor for the persistence of this illegal activity itself. Other causes for the development of illegal gold mining are the poor sales of traditional agricultural products (cocoa and coffee) and ignorance of the negative impacts of this activity on the biophysical and human environment by most of those involved in the sector. It is clear from this study that ultimately illegal artisanal gold mining in the Yaouré, and certainly also in Ivory Coast, is a total social fact; Also, the fight against this phenomenon, to give the expected results, must not be limited to sporadic acts of repression against well diggers and other ore washers, weak link in the chain of illegal production of gold.

Territory Management

Currently, the urban spreading out is the core issue of all the territory management policy. In Côte d'Ivoire, it is particularly the main cause of over-mobility at the level of the displacements of proximity. This situation leads us to find out the real reasons for this generalized mobility among the concerned populations. Based on an inquiry strip, this study sets a broad map of the mobility and the spatial practices of the moving populations of four urban outskirts of Daloa: Bribouo, Sapia, Zaguiguia and Wandaguhé. The inquiry confirms the complexity and diversity that characterize the mobility practices by the so-called new-urban populations. On the one hand, the mobility of the urban outskirts populations are based on an unlimited number of factors such as: working life, social life, everyday life and depend on a large number of factors like: sex, residing duration, social status, community charges and finally differ from one individual to another. On the other hand, these populations are mainly in keeping with their movements on the scale of their villages and the whole city of Daloa.

The purpose of the article is to study, generalize and systematize the factors of development of small and mediumsized enterprises in Ivory Coast and identify the relationship between them and the regional competitive strategy and position. This study therefore examines the difficulties and problems of small and mediumsized enterprises in Côte d'Ivoire on the one hand, based on empirical data, and on the other, from the perspective of regional competitiveness, its components and planning. SMEs can and should become drivers of the region's developmentwith appropriate policies. For example, improved water supply and a welldeveloped licensing policy for production facilities will allow companies in the Ivory Coast to significantly increase their profitability. The deterioration of access to Finance leads to a significant decrease in business sales. In addition, political stability

During the decades 1990-2010 that followed the introduction of the multiparty system in 1990, the educational environment in particular the academic institutions in Côte d’Ivoire were greatly affected by the recurrence of student union violence. With the "new departure" which marks a new dynamics of the universities by a break with the practices which have begun their normal functioning based on the effect of giving them their luster from before, we have noted the survival of this violence. The aim of this study is to discover, on the one hand, the perception that student unionists have about violence and, on the other hand, to analyze the stakes involved in the systematic use of violence by these unionized students during the two decades of 1990- 2010 to understand the survival of this phenomenon in the context of "new departure". To achieve this, we have chosen the six (06) unions that have marked the history of student violence the more during the period 1990-2010. With the aid of semi-directive interviews, we have collected the data which reveal the perception that violence for the trade unions is a legitimate and legal act according to their own statute and internal regulations. It shows that there is a congenital link between trade unionism and politics. Therefore, trade unionism cannot be exercised without politics. Under the stakes, it appears that violence is an indicator of trade union dynamism for political positioning; that it confers power by the domination of public spaces such as universities.
