The One

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.

Therapeutic Alternatives

Mosquitoes have developed resistance, hence the need for anti-malarial medicines. This resistance calls for therapeutic an interest to therapeutic alternatives, including the medicinal plants. An ethnopharmacological survey was conducted amongst 15 Traditional Healers, recommended by the National Program for the Promotion of Traditional Medicine using semi-structured interviews in the city of Bouna. The ethnobotanical survey conducted in 2019 has enabled the identification of 32 plant species belonging to 30 genera and grouped into 19 families. The most represented families were Fabaceae (5 species) Anacardiaceae (4 species), Annonaceae (3 species), Rubiaceae, Zingiberaceae, Asteraceae, and Combretaceae with 2 species each. The species were mostly trees (63.63%). Leaves were the most frequently used parts of the plants (44.4%). The results of our investigations show that the most used mode is the decoction (42.22%). The oral route (60%) is the most used mode of administration. These species complete the non-exhaustive list of medicinal plants that the populations of Cote d'Ivoire use. It was found out that, people in this area commonly use medicinal plants with trust they have built on the curative outcome witnessed. However, this creates a further work to test for the antiplasmodial activity and to develop of Traditional Improved Medicines (MTAs).

Loranthaceae are hemiparasitic vascular plants that develop on other woody species. They are used in traditional medicine to treat various pathologies. The present study is a contribution to the knowledge of the medicinal potential of Loranthaceae used in care by Agni Sanwi of Aboisso and Maferé, in the South-East of Côte d'Ivoire. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted with 50 herbalists and 17 traditional healers using semi-structured interviews. Three (3) species (Globimetula braunii, Phragmanthera capitata and Tapinanthus bangwensis) divided into 3 genera used to treat 35 diseases were identified. They have been cited in the formulation of several remedies. Malaria, typhoid fever, diarrhea and fontanelle were the most commonly reported conditions. Leaves and leafy twigs are the main organs used. The decoction has been predominant in the acquisition of remedies. The drink was the most cited as a method of administering treatments. The Frequency of Citations (FC) of the Loranthaceae employed in the care and medicinal Informant Agreement Ratio (med.IARs) of the respondents were determined. T. bangwensis had the highest FC (95.52%) and med.IARs (0.73). The therapeutic potentials of Loranthaceae have been highlighted and deserve to be popularized through complementary phytochemical investigations.

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 World

WHO is in charge of the fight against smoking and its consequences in the world. This institution makes recommendations to its member states in order to help them contain the scourge of smoking. The present study therefore evaluates the level of integration of these various recommendations of the WHO in the context of the fight against smoking in Côte d’Ivoire. It starts from the observation that the fight against smoking in Ivory Coast has produced for several years mixed results. From a methodological point of view, the approach adopted in this study is essentially qualitative. It consisted of conducting semi-structured interviews, a quantitative thematic content analysis and a bibliographic synthesis. Through this approach, we have achieved results that highlight the inadequacy of the legal framework and tobacco control tools in Côte d’Ivoire and the weakness of financial resources allocated to the fight against smoking in this country.

Conflicts Of Jurisdiction

This study identifies and analyses the factors that determine jurisdictional conflicts prevailing in the decentralization process in Côte d’Ivoire. To achieve these objectives, we interviewed, using semi-structured interviews, resource persons in the departments of Alépé, Grand-Bassam, Guiglo and the District of Abidjan. From these interviews, it appears that conflicts of jurisdiction are classified into two categories: vertical conflicts and horizontal conflicts. The vertical conflicts arise between central structures of Government and local authorities. Horizontal conflicts occur between local authorities. Usually caused by structural realities, these conflicts are fueled and poisoned by economic and especially political factors.

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.

Processing And Storage

The present study was carried out to inventory medicinal plants storage conditions on the markets of Abidjan district. A survey was conducted from August to October 2015 in three settings of the district of Abidjan (Abobo, Adjame and Yopougon). A total of 350 sellers of medicinal plants were interrogated using semi-structured interviews. The respondents were predominantly female (98.9%), aged between 30 and 60 years. The supply of medicinal plants in the markets was done by the wholesalers (86%) who themselves harvested plants in different forests or savanah of Côte d’Ivoire. The majority of sellers (73%) did not apply any measure of hygiene in storage. These people in 99.4% of case were not trained on good storage practices. Sale places were accessible to rodents and exposed to dust caused by traffic jamp. The presence of mud (9.1%) and garbage (23.1%) was noted in the immediate surrounding of the displays. These practices of processing and storage of medicinal plants were similar in all the visited settings. These storage conditions may constitute a hazardous risk for the consumer and justify the degradation of medicinal plants on the markets.

The One

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.

Self Testing

Since 2019, the ATLAS project, coordinated by Solthis in collaboration with national AIDS programs, has introduced, promoted and delivered HIV self-testing (HIVST) in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Senegal. Several delivery channels have been defined, including key populations: men who have sex with men, female sex workers and people who use injectable drugs. At project initiation, a qualitative study analyzing the perceptions and attitudes of key stakeholders regarding the introduction of HIVST in their countries and its integration with other testing strategies for key populations was conducted. The study was conducted from September to November 2019 within 3 months of the initiation of HIVST distribution. Individual interviews were conducted with 60 key informants involved in the project or in providing support and care to key populations: members of health ministries, national AIDS councils, international organizations, national and international non-governmental organizations, and peer educators. Semi structured interviews were recorded, translated when necessary, and transcribed. Data were coded using Dedoose© software for thematic analyses. We found that stakeholders' perceptions and attitudes are favorable to the introduction and integration of HIVST for several reasons. Some of these reasons are held in common, and some are specific to each key population and country. Overall, HIVST is considered able to reduce stigma; preserve anonymity and confidentiality; reach key populations that do not access testing via the usual strategies; remove spatial barriers; save time for users and providers; and empower users with autonomy and responsibility. It is non-invasive and easy to use. However, participants also fear, question and doubt users' autonomy regarding their ability to use HIVST kits correctly; to ensure quality secondary distribution; to accept a reactive test result; and to use confirmation testing and care services. For stakeholders, HIVST is considered an attractive strategy to improve access to HIV testing for key populations. Their doubts about users' capacities could be a matter for reflective communication with stakeholders and local adaptation before the implementation of HIVST in new countries. Those perceptions may reflect the West African HIV situation through the emphasis they place on the roles of HIV stigma and disclosure in HIVST efficiency.
