    Nigeria

    Over the last 20 years, poor rural
    farmers in Nigeria have seen the benefits of community
    organization as a tool for local economic development under
    the National Fadama Development Project series. They have
    witnessed improvements in rural areas that have embraced a
    more inclusive and participatory model of local economic
    decision making. Many communities have come together under
    the umbrella of new institutional arrangements for

    The housing finance market in Mali
    remains small and under developed. Few banks currently offer
    a full mortgage product with Banque Malienne de Solidarite,
    Mali Housing Bank (BHM), Bank of Africa, and EcoBank being
    the main lenders although at minimal levels. The total
    annual housing need in Mali based on the household formation
    rate amounts to 82,500, split between 51,100 urban units and
    31,400 rural units. Overall some social housing is

    The effects of climate change, from
    changing precipitation patterns to rising seas, will
    exacerbate the coastal erosion already affecting West
    Africa, increasing the exposure and vulnerability of the
    people and assets located there. Given the importance of the
    coastal zone to the region as a whole, it is critical that
    policy makers consider the effects of future climate change
    in the decisions they make today. Regional cooperation is

    Prior to the political and security
    crisis of 2012, Mali, a large landlocked country in West
    Africa already ranked among the poorest countries in the
    world. In early 2012, the vast northern regions fell under
    the control of extremist forces, while a coup d’état in
    Bamako threw the country into political instability and
    turmoil. A strong international military response in early
    2013 prevented further destabilization, though part of the

    Coastal erosion is a naturally occurring
    process that is accelerated by human impacts. Artificial
    stabilization of the shoreline, the deterioration of natural
    formations, the construction of infrastructure, the
    extraction of materials, and the proliferation of dams
    deprive fragile coastal areas of important sediment
    deposits, which leads to erosion. Degradation of the
    shoreline reduces the natural protection of coastal areas to

    A project in Burkina Faso has given a clear demonstration of what supporting family farms can achieve in terms of poverty alleviation and rural development. One important success factor was the transfer of land to farmers, accompanied by a secure land-tenure policy adapted to their needs.

    Le développement de l’irrigation fait partie des stratégies prioritaires dans les pays du Sahel pour lutter contre la pauvreté et l’insécurité alimentaire. À l’heure où les gouvernements s’engagent, une fois de plus, à augmenter les superficies irrigables, il a semblé pertinent d’analyser, conformément aux lignes directrices de la CEDEAO, les résultats obtenus sur des grands périmètres aménagés dans les années 80 et 90 afin d’en tirer les leçons pour les aménagements futurs.

    The development of irrigation is one of the priority strategies in the Sahel countries to tackle poverty and food insecurity. At a time when governments are once again committing to increase irrigable areas, it seemed relevant to analyze, in line with the ECOWAS guidelines, the results achieved in large irrigated schemes developed in the 1980s and 1990s to draw lessons for future developments.

    In rural societies of low- and middle-income countries, land is a major measure of wealth, a critical input in agricultural production, and a key variable for assessing agricultural performance and productivity. In the absence of cadastral information to refer to, measures of land plots have historically been taken with one of two approaches: traversing (accurate, but cumbersome), and farmers' self-report (cheap, but marred by measurement error). Recently, the advent of cheap handheld GPS devices has held promise for balancing cost and precision.
