This article describes how the 2002 military and political crisis in Côte d’Ivoire has led the path to a new negotiation process of improving the working relationships between staff members of SUCAF-CI (African Sugar Company in Côte d’Ivoire). Along with that crisis some problems arose and made the company senior staff to think of ways of solving them and also of taking control of the working environment. In so doing they resorted to new rules in Human Resources Management policy. Definitely, this study describes how significant the conflicts induced by the organizational change have been for all the company workers. It resulted in bringing the employees to adopt a new working habit in order to resist and keep up with that change. Essentially, negotiation will be the key word to resolve conflicts within SUCAF-CI and namely to bring all the workers around the table to draft a new social pact as part of a consensual HRM policy.

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.

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.

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.

Risky Behaviours

Background: In Côte d’Ivoire, the health situation, and particularly that of pregnant women, is very critical since the socio-political crisis which is facing this country. Indeed, the maternal mortality rate has passed in this country from 543 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births in2005 to 614 maternal deaths in 2011.Objectives: As most of the medical causes of maternal mortality are preventable, it is pertinent to identify and prioritise the factors of the non-use of prenatal care and those of its inadequate use, to identify their mechanisms of actions and to characterise women who are more adopted by the above-mentioned risky behaviours. These are the objectives of this study.Methods: The data used here are those from the Demographic and Health and Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (DHS-MICS) carried out in Côte d’Ivoire in 2011–2012. To achieve the study objectives, we used the multinomial logistic regression models.Results: It appears from the analyses that, all things being equal, the most important determinants of the studied behaviours are in order ethnicity, degree of modernity, the perception of the distance and the standard of living of the household. They explain about 60% of the total variation of the dependent variable. The women more concerned by risky behaviours are Mandé, Gour/Voltaïque and foreigners, non-modern, who difficultly have access to health centres and live in less fortunate households.Conclusion: Therefore, it should be important to educate and sensitise women with the above cultural characteristics, as well as their partners, on the risks associated with the non-use of prenatal care services, to improve their condition of life and their access to these services.

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.

Islamic Terrorism

The military and political crisis in Cote d’Ivoire is an illustration of the assertion that resistance is a concept embodying a multitude of meanings. The Ivorian parties have framed their civil war as the result of a conflict between several meanings of resistance. The presidential party claims to lead a nationalist resistance against neocolonial forces associated with the French government, as well as a Christian resistance against Islamic terrorism. The armed rebellion and the traditional political opposition contend that their actions are justified by a duty of resistance against ethnic and religious sectarianism, as well as Mr. Gbagbo’s despotic and unprincipled style of government. This article provides a critical analysis of current international efforts to resolve the Ivorian conflict, and particularly of the roadmap to peace adopted at Linas- Marcoussis, France, and later endorsed by the United Nations and other international actors as the appropriate framework for a peaceful and durable solution to the crisis. By presenting a set of principles and operational measures for an alternative conflict resolution strategy this article is focused on the creation of sustainable democratic institutions and their legitimization through a truly democratic process for writing and adopting a new Ivorian constitution. Whether or not in a post-9/11 world, conflicts such as those in the Cote d’Ivoire continue to be ignominiously ignored and marginalized by the United States is yet to be seen, but what this article proves is a need to establish a viable solution of lasting-peace for the region.

Ambivalent Relationship

Since the mid-2000s, certain expressions of hostility against homosexuality in Africa have received wide international media coverage. In different countries, one of the main targets of this hostility is gay mobilizations. At the same time, these expressions of hostility often promote the development of gay mobilizations. Thus, taken together, these opposing mobilizations form a system, as shown in the cases of Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa. Each of the two contexts presents specific local characteristics. In Senegal, the 2000s saw a rise in political Islam. In this context, the gay man gradually became a figure used variously in public debate, with power struggles within political and religious spheres influencing positions on homosexuality. In Côte d’Ivoire, the situation must first be understood through the political crisis affecting the country since the early 2000s and its ambivalent relationship with France, particularly since the post-election crisis of 2010–2011. In both countries, the opposing mobilizations are not limited to “social movements” in the strict sense but involve myriad heterogeneous actors (including at least one or more quasi-official gay groups) focused on a single problem, who sometimes work haphazardly and generally in opposite directions. Added to this heterogeneity of actors are their public positions which offer few clues to easily separate them into pro- and anti-camps. The fact remains that a disconnect often exists between the most prominent actors. However, this distinction is also ambiguous in that it subjects the opposing mobilizations to an interdependence: not only that the actions of one side can largely depend on another’s, but that another’s actions can also benefit actors. Finally, the controversies playing out in and dependent on specific national contexts are also largely constructed in relationship with the “international,” both as a context and an actor, and more generally as a reference figure.
