The Impact

Based on data from the Households Living Standard Survey (ENV2015), we analyze the impact of credit on poverty status stability (ex-post and ex-ante poverty) and then study the regional gaps between poverty and vulnerability to poverty in the rural environment in Côte d'Ivoire. We slightly modified the model of Chaudhuri et al. (2002) to estimate the vulnerability to poverty and consider the poverty index as our measure of poverty. We construct a latent variable that is equal to the square of the gap between poverty and vulnerability to poverty and then use a tobit model to estimate the influence of credit on that variable. Our results show that credit makes poverty status unstable by widening the gap between ex-post and ex-ante poverty (poverty and vulnerability to poverty). We also find that the regional distribution of poverty is different from that of vulnerability to poverty in the rural environment in Côte d'Ivoire.

Vulnerability To Poverty

Many studies have revealed the importance of taking the ex post and former poor into account in designing sustainable poverty reduction policies. With data from the 2015 household standard of living survey (ENV2015), we use the Chaudhuri, Jalan and Suryahadi model (2002) to measure the vulnerability to poverty of rural households in Côte d’Ivoire. Our work reveals that 34% of households are vulnerable while 25% are poor. The analysis of the influence of certain factors on this vulnerability was based on a tobit model. We come to the conclusion that farm and trade households are more vulnerable than those in industry and services. Also, households with a head of at least secondary education are less vulnerable than those whose head is at most at the primary level. Finally, contrary to many studies, we find that access to credit has a bad influence on the vulnerability of rural households to poverty. The origin and use of these rural credits would explain this last relationship.

The Impact

Abstract Writing about Zophopetes cerymica (which they considered more common) and P. laufella combined, Mariau and Morin (1974) state that attacks can be on palms of all ages, including young palms recently planted out. At this age, defoliation of the plants delays their subsequent development. Outbreaks on older trees are rarer, and the damage often less important; these attacks are generally localized at the edge of plantations. Mariau et al. (1981) add that the highest fronds are the most often damaged. Herder et al. (1994) refer to regular outbreaks of P. laufella on oil palm in southern Côte d'Ivoire. There are no more substantive reports on the impact of the feeding damage by these hesperiids.

The Impact

In Côte d'Ivoire, the S2 strain of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) predominated in the forested zones, including the “rice belt” to the west, in each of the cropping systems where rice was grown. The S1 strain occurred more frequently in the northern Guinean savanna, and only S1 isolates were found further north in the Sahelo-Soudanian zones. In mixed infection, S2 dominated over S1 both in viral capsid and RNA contents under temperature regimes encompassing those observed in savanna and forested zones of Côte d'Ivoire. There was no evidence of interactions in virus accumulation between the West African strains S1 or S2 with the more distantly related East African strain S4. Field trials emphasized the impact of RYMV, which induced yield losses of 40 to 60% in several widely grown cultivars of Oryza sativa indica and O. sativa japonica. We report the high resistance of the O. indica cv. Gigante under field conditions which was apparent with all the S1 and S2 isolates tested. Responses to RYMV infection of several cultivars were isolate dependent. With most differential cultivars, responses were not strain specific, with the exception of the O. japonica cv. Idsa6, in which the S2 isolates always induced higher yield losses than the S1 isolates.

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.

The Impact

The armed conflict that ravaged Côte d'Ivoire after the post-election crisis in november 2010 was sparked by several factors (land disputes, armed uprising of september 2002, tribal militias conquest of state power). In the regions of Guémon and Cavally that formed the epicenter of the war, intercommunal land disputes were instrumental in the outbreak of the war. These tensions between peasants have long caused confusion in the far west forest and contributed in part to the social division between indigenous and migrant communities. This qualitative study based on the phenomenological approach and firstly analyses the dynamics of these communal land disputes before the post-election crisis of 2010. Then, it situates the impact of these conflicts in the social division between communities.

The Impact

Since thirty years, four Australian Acacias species are introduced and studied in Anguédédou Research station. The station research is located in evergreen forest in the south of Côte d'Ivoire. The objective of the introduction of these species, is to rehabilitate degraded grounds and fallow after growing. The study aims at appreciating the impact of Acacia species on floristic diversity and the regeneration of forest species. For collecting data, we use quadrat method (35 x 50 m and 6 x 6 m).This method permitted the inventory of 212 species on 1.05 ha. Among these species, 1.89 % are Ivorian endemic species and 11.32 % are endemic of West African flora. The flora under the different species of Acacia are relatively diversified and dense. The majority of plant inventoried under Acacia species have small diameters. The highest specific richness average per plots (36 m2) were noted in the 11 years old parcels of Acacia mangium (26.20±2.34) and 27 years old parcels of Acacia auriculaeformis (25.40±2.34) and Acacia crassicarpa (30.60±2.34). The mean values of diameters (dbh ≥ 2.5 cm) fluctuate from 2.94±0.56 cm for the 8 years old stands of Acacia mangium to 8.09±0.56 cm for the 27 years old settlements of Acacia crassicarpa. The results show that leguminous trees can be used for recolonization of the deforested areas in order to rebuild quickly their plant biodiversity.

Conflits Armes

The "new conflict" that emerged in the 90s, mainly in developing countries, is a major obstacle to improving health. Quantitative studies of the impact of armed conflict on maternal health indicators are still fragmentary and scarce. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the 2002 and the 2010 conflicts on maternal health in Côte d'Ivoire. In this study, we choose a particular type of health care service with assisted delivery in a health center. We use the parametric difference using the difference method to estimate our parameter of interest. Also, we use the propensity score technique and the standard error bootstrap technique to regulate some double difference hypotheses. In making our estimates, we use survey data including the MICS 2000 and 2006 and EDSCI 2012. Our results show that, globally, the crisis of 2002 had a negative effect on the use of assisted delivery in the CNO zone (Center North and West) (-0,708). The same is true for the post-election crisis (-0,514). On the other hand, in South and Abidjan zone, the 2002 crisis had no significant effect, while that of the 2010 crisis had a positive effect (+0,628). The conflicts of 2002 and 2010 therefore constituted a major impediment to access to maternal health care services for households living in CNO zone.
