Racialized immigrants becoming part of the city : connecting migration, space and race : commentary to van Liempt
2023
Building on Ilse van Liempt’s (2023) lecture, this commentary addresses the connection and shift between forced displacement and local emplacement by addressing what becoming part of the city means for racialized immigrants. By bringing forward the notion of racialization I hope to contribute to a growing body of literature discussing how malleable and productive the concept of race – albeit erased and relegated to the past – keeps on shaping conversations about and across Europe. Connecting migration, space and race offers a particularly rich context in which to have this discussion because, as all three elements are mutually constructive, addressing them together exposes some of the compl…
Éducation et développement
1999
Education and development This chapter deals with the relationship between education, economic growth and development. It provides a review of the literature on recent work aimed at explaining economic growth differences worldwide linked with various national educational policies. It questions the grounds for the weak relation observed in Subsaharan Africa. It concludes that in many instances, educational policies are inappropriate and have not led to a sufficient accumulation of human capital. Several educational policy recommendations are subsequently provided for enhancing educational access within existing budgetary constraint.
La povertà rurale in Africa Sub-sahariana: il caso del Dipartimento della Lekie in Camerun
2021
Questo articolo mette in rilievo le caratteristiche della povertà rurale in Africa sub-sahariana in generale, e nel Dipartimento della Lekie in Camerun in particolare. Il suo interesse sta nel fatto che per meglio combattere la povertà, bisogna innanzitutto capire la sua vera natura e le sue particolari caratteristiche sul territorio d’intervento. Questo studio mira dunque a offrire alla comunità scientifica nonché a vari portatori d’interesse un quadro di riferimento per la definizione di politiche economiche efficaci contro la povertà sul territorio del Dipartimento della Lekie. L’indagine svolta sul cosiddetto territorio ha rilevato, tramite un’analisi descrittiva, che le popolazioni del…
Une éducation pour tous de qualité : une analyse statistique sur les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne
2015
Cette étude est la première analyse comparative de la qualité de l'éducation en Afrique subsaharienne basée sur une trentaine de pays. La fusion des deux évaluations existantes en Afrique subsaharienne (SACMEQ et PASEC) permet de disposer d'indicateurs comparables pour vingt-neuf pays. Nous nous proposons d’ajuster ici l’objectif initial de la Scolarisation Primaire Universelle (SPU) à un objectif plus restrictif de Scolarisation Primaire Universelle de Qualité (SPUQ), où la majorité des élèves terminent le cycle primaire en ayant acquis un socle minimum de connaissances et de compétences en lecture et en mathématiques. Il ressort de cette analyse que certains systèmes éducatifs ayant améli…
Developing Lower secondary education: a rural issue and challenge for sub-saharan Africa
2010
The ongoing progresses of coverage of primary education in Sub-Saharan African Countries are inevitably to impact lower secondary education in a significant manner. Beyond the need for all countries to identify a global policy to deal with the problem, it is important to understand that expansion of coverage of lower secondary education will concern rural populations since coverage is generally already relatively high in cities while it is lagging noticeably in rural settings; many schools will need to be built and operate in a near future. A basic characteristic of rural schools is that most of them enroll only a limited number of students and, in current circumstances tend to cost signifi…

Abstract. During the summertime, dust from the Sahara can be efficiently transported westwards within the Saharan air layer (SAL). This can lead to high aerosol loadings being observed above a relatively clean marine boundary layer (MBL) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. These dust layers can impart significant radiative effects through strong visible and IR light absorption and scattering, and can also have indirect impacts by altering cloud properties. The processing of the dust aerosol can result in changes in both direct and indirect radiative effects, leading to significant uncertainty in climate prediction in this region. During August 2015, measurements of aerosol and cloud properties …

Abstract. Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, affecting the radiation balance, cloud properties, biogeochemical cycles, regional circulation and precipitation, as well as having negative effects on aviation, solar energy generation and human health. Dust size and composition has an impact on all these processes. However, changes in dust size distribution and composition during transport, particularly for coarse particles, are poorly understood and poorly represented in climate models. Here we present new in situ airborne observations of dust in the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) and the marine boundary layer (MBL) at the beginning of its transatlantic transport pathway, f…

La dimension rurale des scolarisations dans les pays d'Afrique au Sud du Sahara : situation actuelle et défis pour le développement de la couverture …

08065; Texte présenté lors du séminaire de l'Iredu, 28 octobre 2008. Ce texte est une version réduite d'un texte de 76 pages portant le même nom.; Dans cette étude, nous avons examiné sous divers aspects la situation de l'éducation en milieu rural, et cela dans un nombre aussi grand que possible de pays d'Afrique sub-saharienne à faible revenu. Les domaines analysés ont été de façon principale i) la scolarisation des ruraux (quelle est l'ampleur de leur retard par rapport aux urbains, et dans quels processus se construit ce retard le long du système éducatif ?) ii) l'organisation et le coût des services éducatifs en milieu rural, notamment au niveau du premier cycle de l'enseignement second…
