<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Levelling
the Field: Improving Opportunities for Women" is a new policy report
jointly produced by the World Bank’s Gender Innovation Lab and The ONE
Campaign. The report contributes to the debate on poverty and agriculture
by comprehensively documenting the gender gaps and by prioritizing ares for
actions to help policymakers makes decisions that will sensibly improve the
well-being of their constituents. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is a
growing recognition of agriculture's potential to spur growth and reduce
poverty in Africa. Agriculture accounts for one-third of the continent's gross
domestic product (GDP), and two-thirds of its citizens rely on the sector for
their incomes. Investments in agriculture will hence not only improve
productivity and the continent's ability to feed a growing population, but will
also lift families out of poverty. Over 90 percent of sub-Saharan Africa's
extreme poor are engaged in agriculture, and growth originating in the sector
is 2-4 times more effective at directly reducing poverty than growth
originating in other sectors. Yet agriculture in Africa has not fulfilled its
potential, suffering from a lack of investment and insufficient attention from
policy-makers. <b>A key hindrance to agricultural development and broader
growth is a wide and pervasive gender gap in agricultural productivity. Women
comprise nearly half of the labor force in Africa's agriculture sector, and
more than half in several countries, but on the whole they produce less per
hectare than men.</b> Existing evidence from small-scale studies across
the continent documents the numerous disadvantages that women face in accessing
the same resources, training, markets and opportunities as men. They also face
ingrained norms and institutional barriers that further widen the gap. Tackling
the barriers that hold back the productivity of female farmers could both
enhance gender equality and usher in broader economic growth. The African Union
has declared 2014 to be the 'year of agriculture and food security', bringing
much needed attention to the sector's potential to transform the continent.
This is an opportunity not only to revitalize the agriculture sector, but to
rally African governments and development organizations to commit to concrete
policy action to redress the inequalities within the sector, and in so doing to
reap greater rewards from future investments.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">With the
debate on the post-2015 development framework in full swing, the third
international Chronic Poverty Report addresses </span>one key
question: what needs to be done to get to (or close to) zero extreme poverty by
2030 – the new goal for global poverty reduction?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The report
is the first produced by the Chronic Poverty Advisory Network (CPAN), the
successor to the Chronic Poverty </span>Research
Centre (CPRC), which produced the first two Chronic Poverty Reports. Drawing on
ten years of research by the CPRC and others,
and on recent policy guides from CPAN, it presents new analysis of what it
takes to sustain escapes from poverty; of
countries that have succeeded in tackling chronic poverty; and new projections
of poverty in 2030.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">It presents
a tripartite challenge to the world: to get close to zero extreme poverty
countries need to tackle chronic </span>poverty,
stop impoverishment and ensure that those who manage to escape from poverty
sustain their escapes (the poverty ‘tripod’).
It also raises the spectre that there may remain a billion people living in
extreme poverty in 2030 unless existing policies
are implemented robustly and new policies and political commitments are up and
running by 2020.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The bulk of
the report focuses on the policies needed to get to zero. While there are many
such policies, any country </span>could and
should be able to generate a selection of the key policies that will work with
the national grain, and the report offers a device –
the impoverishment index – to help countries determine the priorities that will
carry their citizens out of poverty.</div>

Diets are increasingly important in a world of economic growth and rising incomes. And two concerns, in particular, are emerging: the effect of diet on health; and the demands made by changing diets on agriculture. The impact is most marked in the developing world, where we now see both the fastest acceleration in over-consumption and the greatest continuing toll of under-consumption.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Among the trends featured in this report:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Over one third of all adults across the world – 1.46 billion people – are obese or overweight.Between 1980 and 2008, the numbers of people affected in the developing world more than tripled, from 250 million to 904 million. In high income countries the numbers increased by 1.7 times over the same period.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Diets are changing wherever incomes are rising in the developing world, with a marked shift from cereals and tubers to meat, fats and sugar, as well as fruit and vegetables.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While the forces of globalisation have led to a creeping homogenisation in diets, their continued variation suggests that there is still scope for policies that can influence the food choices that people make.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Future diets that are rich in animal products, especially meat, will push up prices for meat, but surprisingly, not for grains. This suggests that future diets may matter more for public health than for agriculture.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There seems to be little will among public and leaders to take the determined action that is needed to influence future diets, but that may change in the face of the serious health implications. Combinations of moderate measures in education, prices and regulation may achieve far more than drastic action of any one type.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It contains revised estimates of the number of
malaria cases and deaths, which integrate new and updated under-5 mortality
estimates produced by the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality
Estimation, as well as new data from the Child Health Epidemiology Reference
Group. Besides, it highlights the progress made towards global malaria targets

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Global efforts to control and eliminate malaria
have saved an estimated 3.3 million lives since 2000, reducing malaria
mortality rates by 45% globally and by 49% in Africa, according to the "World
malaria report 2013" published by WHO.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">An expansion of prevention and control measures
has been mirrored by a consistent decline in malaria deaths and illness,
despite an increase in the global population at risk of malaria between 2000
and 2012. Increased political commitment and expanded funding have helped to
reduce incidence of malaria by 29% globally, and by 31% in Africa.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The large majority of the 3.3 million lives
saved between 2000 and 2012 were in the 10 countries with the highest malaria
burden, and among children aged less than 5 years – the group most affected by
the disease. Over the same period, malaria mortality rates in children in
Africa were reduced by an estimated 54%.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The report shows that despite the progress in
the last 12 years, the absolute numbers of malaria cases are nt going down as

cases of malaria (uncertainty interval: 135 – 287 million), which caused
approximately 627 000 malaria deaths (uncertainty interval 473 000 –

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Malaria prevention suffered a setback after its
strong build-up between 2005 and 2010. The new WHO report notes a slowdown in
the expansion of interventions to control mosquitoes for the second successive
year, particularly in providing access to insecticide-treated bed nets. This
has been primarily due to lack of funds to procure bed nets in countries that
have ongoing malaria transmission.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In sub-Saharan Africa, the proportion of the
population with access to an insecticide-treated bed net remained well under
50% in 2013. Only 70 million new bed nets were delivered to malaria-endemic
countries in 2012, below the 150 million minimum needed every year to ensure
everyone at risk is protected. However, in 2013, about 136 million nets were
delivered, and the pipeline for 2014 looks even stronger (approximately 200
million), suggesting that there is real chance for a turnaround.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There was no such setback for malaria
diagnostic testing, which has continued to expand in recent years. Between 2010
and 2012, the proportion of people with suspected malaria who received a
diagnostic test in the public sector increased from 44% to 64% globally.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Access to WHO-recommended artemisinin-based
combination therapies (ACTs) has also increased, with the number of treatment
courses delivered to countries rising from 76 million in 2006 to 331 million in
2012.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite this progress, millions of people
continue to lack access to diagnosis and quality-assured treatment,
particularly in countries with weak health systems. The roll-out of preventive

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">International funding for malaria control
increased from less than US$ 100 million in 2000 to almost US$ 2 billion in
2012. Domestic funding stood at around US$ 0.5 billion in the same year,
bringing the total international and domestic funding committed to malaria
control to US$ 2.5 billion in 2012 – less than half the US$ 5.1 billion needed
each year to achieve universal access to interventions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Without adequate and predictable funding, the

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Au royaume du micro, le principe est
simple : les clients des institutions de microfinance (IMF), souvent des
microentrepreneurs, font des microcrédits pour financer des activités
génératrices des revenus et sortir de la pauvreté. Une fois les projets en
marche, ils remboursent les IMF, le système fonctionne. Mais que se passe-t-il
si l’emprunteur tombe malade, ne peut plus travailler ni rembourser son
crédit ? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

particulier en Afrique, l’accès aux soins est un vrai casse-tête. Manque
d’infrastructures, de médicaments et surtout de moyens. Selon Jacques Attali, avec
des systèmes de santé et d’assurance maladie très précaires, voire inexistants,
« un foyer peut devoir investir jusqu’à 50% de son revenu quand l’un de
ses membres tombe malade », c’est qui veut dire retour à la casse départ
de la pauvreté et mise en danger du système de la microfinance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nous recherchons des histoires, des expériences, des
recherches, des idées et des expertises qui dressent le portrait complexe et
stimulant des TIC pour le développement, l'éducation et la formation en
Afrique, sous le thème général suivant <b>« Frontières Ouvertes sur
l´Avenir »</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Riche en ressources et dotée d’une population jeune,
l'Afrique peut, à présent, regarder l'avenir avec confiance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">À une époque où, même dans certaines des économies les plus
avancées du monde, les diplômes et les qualifications ne peuvent garantir
l’accès à l’emploi, comment les Africains peuvent-ils acquérir les compétences
nécessaires leur permettant, non seulement de réussir sur le marché local, mais
aussi de façonner et diriger le marché mondial ? Comment créer un environnement
qui récompense l'entrepreneuriat et encourage l'innovation africaine ? Comment
inciter les partenariats productifs entre gouvernements et secteur privé ? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les investisseurs internationaux se tournent désormais vers
ce continent qui offre un grand potentiel. Aussi, l´Afrique se voit-elle
confrontée au débat important sur la manière de tirer le meilleur parti de ce
nouveau climat d’opportunités et de <i>bâtir ainsi</i> un nouveau
récit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La majorité des Africains ne pourra profiter pleinement des
avantages de la croissance économique que si certains défis, encore
persistants, sont relevés : il faudra, avant tout, parvenir à résoudre le
problème des barrières artificielles entravant le commerce, gérer et anticiper
les changements, s'assurer que l'investissement étranger respecte bien les
objectifs de développement durable et enfin, s’assurer que l'éducation, le
développement des compétences et le leadership soient au centre des priorités.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At the 2000
UN Millennium Summit, the largest ever gathering of world leaders pledged to
work together to help the world’s poorest people. They agreed on a set of
targets that became known as the <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Millennium_Development_Goals" target="_blank">Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)</a>. The
deadline they set themselves to meet these was 31 December 2015.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With just
over two years until the <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Millennium_Development_Goals" target="_blank">MDGs</a> expire, how much progress has been made and what
should happen next?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There have
of course been successes: the world has already met the first MDG target of
halving the world’s population living in extreme poverty (on less than USD 1.25
per day). But 1.2 billion people are still living in extreme poverty and
vulnerability remains high. At the same time, problems in measuring poverty
present barriers to effective policy making.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Progress
has also been uneven – not all countries, regions, age groups, social sectors
or genders have benefited equally from the advances that have been made. <b><i>The
truth is, the quality of life has not improved for all.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This
December, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
will launch their new report on <i>Ending Poverty</i>. To coincide with
this, Intelligence Squared will host a panel of experts to discuss the key
issues that the report raises. How should we measure poverty? What can we learn
from local solutions for tackling poverty? How can the fast progress made by
middle-income countries like China provide lessons for Africa? How can we be
“smarter” about how we use aid flows? How do we ensure that the next set of
goals will be not just about “getting to zero” poverty, but about staying
there?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On 5
December, thought-leaders from the world’s leading development think tanks, the
OECD, civil society and national governments will offer different perspectives
on these questions, and discuss what an international development framework
could look like beyond 2015.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Se recentrer sur les citoyens<i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ce blog de Martine Durand, Chef Statisticien et Directrice de la Direction des Statistiques de l'OCDE, fait partie du focus de Wikiprogress pour le mois de novembre sur le nouveau rapport <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/How%E2%80%99s_Life%3F_2013_Measuring_Well-Being" target="_blank">Comment va la vie?</a></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mesurer le bien-être est d’autant
plus important aujourd’hui, que nos économies et sociétés sont nombreuses à
être frappées par la crise financière mondiale. Afin d’en comprendre les
conséquences sur la vie des citoyens et de développer des stratégies visant
ceux qui en ont le plus souffert, il est nécessaire de regarder bien au-delà de
la production économique ou des marchés financiers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <b>La crise financière
mondiale a réduit le bien-être matériel des individus</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">De nombreux travailleurs ont
perdu leur emploi depuis le début de la crise en 2007 et les niveaux de revenu
ou de richesse de nombreux ménages ont stagné, voire baissé. Depuis le début de
la crise, près de 15 millions de personnes supplémentaires sont aujourd’hui
sans emploi dans la zone OCDE. Le nombre de personnes sans emploi depuis plus
d’un an a atteint les 16 millions. De plus, entre 2007 et 2010, la pauvreté
(relative) de revenu a augmenté dans la plupart des pays de l’OCDE, notamment
parmi les enfants et les jeunes. L’insécurité économique et la pression
financière croissantes ont particulièrement affecté les ménages à faible revenu
et les moins instruits. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>La confiance envers les
institutions a baissé</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">D’autres dimensions du bien-être
des citoyens ont également souffert de la crise. La satisfaction à l’égard de
la vie a considérablement baissé dans les pays les plus sévèrement touchés,
tels que la Grèce, l’Italie et l’Espagne. Dans ces pays, les niveaux de stress
et de préoccupation tels que constatés par les individus ont augmenté de manière
considérable.. Le capital politique des pays a été sévèrement ébranlé :
seuls 40% des citoyens de l’OCDE font confiance à leurs gouvernements nationaux
– soit le niveau le plus bas depuis 2006. Dans les pays les plus touchés par la
crise, les citoyens ne sont qu’entre 1 et 3 sur 10 à faire confiance à
leur gouvernement, un ratio qui a été divisé par plus de moitié depuis le début
de la crise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>De nouvelles formes de
solidarité et d’engagement sont apparues</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dans certains pays, les réponses
à la crise ont dépassé la sphère politique publique et ont pris la forme d’une
solidarité interpersonnelle plus importante avec des formes variées de
participation civique à l’échelle des communautés locales. Malgré une plus
grande difficulté à procurer de l’aide financière, un nombre croissant de
personnes ont déclaré apporter leur soutien non financier aux autres et avoir
offert de leur temps pour aider des personnes dans le besoin au sein de leur
communauté. Les familles ont également été des sources de soutien à la fois
financier et en nature. Elles ont aussi été un filet de sécurité important, par
exemple pour les jeunes éprouvant des difficultés dans leur recherche
d’emploi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Les indicateurs de bien-être
offrent une nouvelle perspective pour l’élaboration de politiques</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les indicateurs de bien-être
peuvent apporter une perspective nouvelle et plus large aux décideurs
politiques sur les dimensions qui comptent le plus pour les citoyens. Certaines
de ces dimensions telles que l’emploi, la santé ou l’éducation sont depuis
longtemps inclues dans leur programme. Mais d’autres indicateurs, mesurées à
l’échelle individuelle ou à celle des ménages, ainsi que leur
distribution au sein des groupes de la population, peuvent offrir un nouvel
aperçu de la qualité de vie des citoyens. Cette nouvelle édition de <i>Comment
va la vie</i> explore en détails deux problématiques du bien-être qui
peuvent apporter un nouvel éclairage pour le développement des
politiques publiques : les inégalités de bien être entre les hommes et les
femmes et le bien-être sur le lieu de travail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Les femmes et les hommes
peuvent-ils tout avoir?</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Comprendre dans quelle mesure le
bien-être varie au sein de la population, et pourquoi, est essentiel afin
d’élaborer des politiques plus ciblées et efficaces. Malgré de larges progrès
vers une plus grande égalité entre les hommes et les femmes ces dernières
décennies, le genre reste un déterminant important de l’inégalité de bien-être
dans de nombreux pays. Mais contrairement à l’impression que dresse un portrait
uniquement économique de la situation, la question de l’égalité entre les sexes
n’est pas uniquement une question de femme. Les femmes vivent en moyenne plus
longtemps que les hommes dans les pays de l’OCDE, par exemple, et elles sont
généralement plus instruites. Cependant, les femmes déclarent un état de santé
moins bon que celui des hommes ; ont de moins bonnes perspectives
professionnelles ; et ont moins de connexions sur lesquelles compter
lorsqu’elles cherchent un emploi. Les femmes ressentent également plus
d’émotions négatives que les hommes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Le bien-être au travail:
l’importance des emplois de qualité</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pendant longtemps, les priorités
politiques se sont principalement concentrées sur la création d’emplois,
l’objectif étant de proposer un travail à chaque personne souhaitant
travailler. Cependant, la plupart des individus passent une grande partie de
leur vie au travail et ce qui se passe sur le lieu de travail est donc un
élément essentiel de leur bien-être. Avoir un bon travail, ou un travail de qualité,
ne se limite pas à un salaire élevé ou une carrière dynamique; il s’agit
également de travailler dans un environnement propice à l’épanouissement
personnel et dans lequel les employés se sentent impliqués. L’autonomie au
travail et des objectifs de travail clairement définis conditionnent
l’engagement des employés et influent sur leur bien-être. Des pratiques
d’encadrement respectueuses ainsi que le soutien de ses collègues sont
également importants. Dans ces conditions de travail, il est plus aisé de gérer
la pression ainsi que d’assumer des emplois plus exigeants émotionnellement.
Ces conditions favorisent également une bonne santé physique et une meilleure
productivité. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Se concentrer sur les priorités
des citoyens, et améliorer les indicateurs existants ou en développer de
nouveaux capables de mesurer le bien-être et le progrès, voici la direction à
suivre pour atteindre des vies meilleures, aujourd’hui et demain. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ce blog d’Ousmane Aly DIALLO,
fait partie de la série de Wikiprogress sur la <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Category:Personal_security" target="_blank">Sécurité Personnelle</a>. Il résume
les principaux points du récent Index

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L’indice mondial de l’esclavage est un nouvel indicateur développé par
la Fondation australienne Walk Free. Cet index classe 160 pays du monde selon 3
facteurs : la prévalence estimée de l’esclavage moderne au sein de la
population, la mesure du taux de mariages précoces et une mesure de l’intensité
du trafic de personnes (doubles flux, entrant et sortant) des États. Le score
final est pondéré afin de refléter la première dimension de l’index : la
prévalence estimée de l’esclavage moderne au sein de la population (95%).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L’esclavage apparait souvent comme une relique du passé, une
institution qui nous rappelle les raids durant les siècles précédents, le
commerce transatlantique avant d’être récemment glamourisé dans les productions
hollywoodiennes. Mais la réalité est là, claire et nette : près de 30
millions de gens vivent dans des conditions d’esclavage moderne, allant de la
mendicité forcée à l’esclavage de classe héréditaire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Des 10 pays du classement (ayant la plus forte prévalence de
populations sous condition d’esclavage), 5 sont d’Afrique : la <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Mauritania">Mauritanie</a> (#1), <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Benin">le Benin</a> (#7), <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Cote_D'Ivoire">la Côte d’Ivoire</a> (#8), <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Gambia">la Gambie</a> (#9) et <a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Gabon">le Gabon</a> (#10).
16.36% des 29.8 millions de gens sous condition d’esclavage viennent d’Afrique
subsaharienne, qui est l’endroit le plus probable du monde où on risque d’être
réduit dans cet état.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Le rapport définit l’esclavage
comme la possession et le contrôle d’une personne de façon à la priver
sensiblement de sa liberté individuelle dans l’intention de l’exploiter en l'utilisant, lui dictant sa conduite, en bénéficiant de ses aptitudes en la transfèrant contre son gré ou en l'éliminant tout simplement. Cette
exploitation se fait à travers la violence ou la menace de la violence, la
tromperie ou la contrainte. L’esclavage prend plusieurs formes en 2013 et peut
se manifester sous plusieurs noms. Le trafic humain, le travail forcé, les
conditions de travail similaires à l’esclavage (la servitude due à l’endettement,
mariage forcé ou servile, la vente ou l’exploitation des enfants, y inclus dans
les conflits armés), tous ces phénomènes se retrouvent dans la définition de
l’Indice Mondial de l’Esclavage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

140,000 et 160,000 mauritaniens sur une population de 3.8 millions sont en état
d’esclavage. Dans ce classement, se
reflète également les forts taux de mariage précoces et de trafic de personnes.
L’esclavage y est surtout sous forme domestique et traditionnelle: des adultes
et des enfants sont la pleine propriété de maîtres qui exercent leur domination
sur eux et sur leurs descendants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Benin">Le
Bénin</a> est le second pays africain dans ce classement. Le travail domestique
informel – mettant à contribution les enfants- est sa forme dominante, comme
dans toute l’Afrique de l’Ouest. À travers le système du Vidomegon, des filles
aussi jeunes que sept ans, sont engagées comme travailleuses domestiques en
échange de gîte et de subsistance. Une autre institution traditionnelle, le
Vudusi ou « esclavage dans les temples », des jeunes filles sont
offertes en sacrifices dans les temples et forcées de prendre soin de ces lieux
tout au long de leur vie, en courant le risque d’être abusé sexuellement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les lois et la
persistance de l’esclavage<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La majeure partie des États africains avec un fort taux d’esclavage
interne ont dans leur système judiciaire, des lois qui rendent ces pratiques
illégales. L’esclavage a été reconnue officiellement en 1980 suite aux contestations du mouvement « El
Hor » (« L’Homme libe » en hassanya) et rendue illégale et
criminalisée encore une fois en 2007 par le premier gouvernement de la période
post-Taya. Mais les poursuites criminelles envers les contrevenants sont rares,
malgré l’existence de ces lois. Depuis la mise en œuvre de la dernière loi en
2007, et malgré le nombre important d’accusations des victimes envers leurs
abuseurs, seule une condamnation a eu lieu selon le rapport.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L’inexistence d’une unité de justice ayant pour but l’application
des dispositions de cette loi et le manque de données étatiques solides sur
cette pratique constituent les principaux obstacles à l’éradication de cette
pratique. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">De même, au Bénin, l’existence d’une institution visant l’éradication
du travail des enfants et l’existence d’une législation criminalisant ce phénomène
ont eu peu d’effet. Une des raisons de ce manque d’efficacité suggérée est que
les 126 inspecteurs du travail s’intéressent seulement au secteur formel alors
que l’institution du Vudusi a surtout lieu dans le secteur informel. La
création d’un Office Central pour la Protection des Mineurs (OCPM) s’inscrit
ainsi dans le cadre de la lutte contre le travail des enfants par le gouvernement
béninois. Mais le manque d’une vision à long terme qui prendrait en compte
le bien-être de ces enfants vulnérables
diminue encore plus l’impact positif de ces mesures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Des tendances sont apparentes dans cet
Indice. L’esclavage apparaît plus comme un trait culturel dans les pays où il
se passe, et peut ne pas être considéré comme tel par les victimes et les
coupables. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">De plus, les femmes sont les plus touchées par cette
institution. Elles sont disproportionnellement représentées au sein des
populations en état de servitude. Une explication avancée est qu’elles sont
souvent dans la sphère domestique de leurs maitres qui sont bien souvent dans
des zones reculées, et difficilement atteignables par la justice de leurs
états.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sans l’accès à l’éducation et à des voies alternatives pour
subvenir à leurs besoins, beaucoup parmi ces populations pensent que c’est la
volonté de Dieu qu’elles soient dans l’état de servitude. En Mauritanie, comme
la majeure partie de la population servile est maintenue dans cet état d’analphabétisme,
ces populations ignorent souvent que selon la loi islamique, un musulman ne peut
pas réduire à l’esclavage un autre musulman. Le manque d’éducation est ainsi un
moyen pour perpétuer ces pratiques.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les conflits, la pauvreté extrême, les forts taux de
corruption et l’impact de l’exploitation des ressources naturelles pour
approvisionner les marchés internationaux sont autant de facteurs qui augmentent
les risques d’asservissement dans plusieurs pays africains. Comme susmentionné, l’existence de lois
punissant l’esclavage a eu peu d’effet sur la disparition de cette institution.
Sa perpétuation est principalement due à un manque d’unité d’exécution de ces
lois. La volonté politique sera ainsi déterminante pour la disparition de ces
pratiques.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

as a phenomenon of the past, reminiscent of raids during the 18<sup>th</sup>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most of the African countries with a high
prevalence of people under slavery has in their judicial system, a set of laws
that makes slavery illegal. In<a href="http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Mauritania" target="_blank"> Mauritania</a>, slavery was first recognized in 1980
following the emergence of the Haratine movement “El Hor” (“The Free Man” in
Hassanya) and further outlawed in 2007 by the first government of the post-Taya
period. But criminal prosecution rarely occurs despite the extant laws. Since the implementation of the law in 2007,
and though several victims had tried to take action against their masters, only
one conviction has been handed down, according to the report. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the
reasons suggested is that the 126 Labour inspectors investigates only on the
formal sector while the Vudusi system is present only on the informal sector.
The creation of the Central Office for the Protection of Minors (OCPM) is part

explanation is that they thrive more often in the domestic sphere of their

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Le plus récent <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/World_Development_Report_2014:_Managing_Risk_for_Development">rapport
mondial sur le développement</a> de la Banque Mondiale met l’accent sur les risques et leur gestion, de même que sur
l’impact desdits risques sur les enjeux de développement. Reconnaissant que
tous les risques comportent une dimension « opportunité », le rapport
souligne qu’une mauvaise gestion peut entraîner une régression et mettre à
néant des années de mesures progressives. Une autre conséquence de cette
mauvaise gestion des risques est la menace qu’elle constitue sur les structures
sociale et économique, à la base du progrès et du développement. Et dans la
plupart des cas, ce sont les plus pauvres qui subissent le plus ces chocs
exogènes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La gestion des risques constitue un puissant levier pour le
développement<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La gestion du risque est définie
comme le processus par lequel une entité fait face à des risques, s’y prépare
et établit des stratégies de contingence vis-à-vis de ses effets. Deux
objectifs doivent être au centre de la gestion du risque selon le
rapport :</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">La résilience,
la capacité des hommes, sociétés et pays à se remettre de ces chocs négatifs</span></span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Et la
prospérité, découlant d’une gestion adroite de ces chocs en pavant des
opportunités pour le développement</span></span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">De même, les prérequis pour toute
gestion de risque couronnée de succès sont l’acquisition de connaissances sur
les dangers, l’établissement de mesure d’absorption et l’obtention d’assurances
et de garanties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Selon ce rapport, les recherches
montrent que les bénéfices d’une gestion des risques en amont sont supérieurs
aux coûts engendrés par ne rien faire. La mauvaise gestion en outre entraine
des crises. Ainsi, la famine en 2011-12 en Somalie a causé 258,000 vies malgré
11 mois d’alertes répétées; les opportunités d’une intervention ont été ratées
par la communauté des bailleurs pour esquiver des contraintes sécuritaires et
politiques.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gérer des risques signifie en
outre, faire l’état des lieux, analyser différents risques et prendre des
mesures proactives pour réduire leur impact négatif. La définition des
priorités est d’une grande importance dans les pays en développement, à cause
des moyens limités dont ils disposent. « Ainsi,
un petit pays fréquemment sujet à des pluies torrentielles et exposé aux chocs
financiers internationaux doit prioriser et décider combien sera dépensé pour
la prévention des inondations et combien pour des mesures d’absorption contre
la volatilité financière ».<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La gestion des risques doit être
systémique<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Une autre dimension de la gestion
des risques abordée dans ce risque est sa nature systémique à même de contrer
les multiples effets des chocs exogènes. Différents paliers sociétaux et
politiques doivent être impliqués dans ce processus (des ménages à la
communauté internationale).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Au niveau des ménages, en mutualisant
les ressources par la protection des membres, en particulier les plus
vulnérables et leur permettant d'investir dans leur avenir.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Au niveau des communautés, par
les réseaux informels de soutien et de protection en aidant les gens à composer
avec les risques idiosyncratiques et la mise en commun des ressources pour
faire face à des risques communs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Au niveau des entreprises, par l’absorption
des chocs et l’exploitation de la dimension « opportunité » du risque
et <i>in extenso</i>, en contribuant à la
stabilité de l’emploi, des revenus et par plus d’innovation et de productivité.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les systèmes financiers à travers
l’épargne, l’assurance et le crédit et par une bonne gestion des défis de son
écosystème.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L'État dispose des moyens pour gérer les risques
systémiques aux niveaux national et régional, et de fournir un environnement
favorable pour les autres paliers tout en apportant un soutien direct aux
personnes vulnérables. La protection sociale (assurance et assistance), les
biens publics (défense nationale, les infrastructures, la loi et l'ordre), et
les politiques publiques (régulation, la gestion macro-économique) seront ses
principaux médiums.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La communauté internationale, en facilitant
la coordination des politiques et en appuyant les États dans la gestion des
risques.</span></li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En conclusion, le rapport
recommande <b>l’intégration de la gestion des risques intégrée programmes de
développement par les gouvernements</b> à travers la création d’agences nationales
de prévention des risques. La création d’une telle institution nécessitera un
changement de politique (une évaluation coordonnée et systématique des risques
aux niveaux national et international) pour des résultats optimaux. Le rapport
reconnaît qu’un changement significatif dans la façon de faire pourrait être
nécessaire à la mise en œuvre de cette recommandation. Cinq principes clés aux États
sont ainsi recommandés en état dans la mise en place de cette dernière
recommandation :<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les gouvernements ne devraient
pas générer de l'incertitude ou de risques inutiles</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les gouvernements devraient
fournir des mesures incitatives pour les personnes et les institutions afin qu’elles
fassent leur propre planification/préparation, tout en évitant d'imposer des
risques ou pertes sur les autres</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les gouvernements devraient
maintenir une perspective à long terme pour la gestion des risques en
construisant des mécanismes institutionnels qui transcendent les cycles
politiques</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les gouvernements devraient
promouvoir la flexibilité dans un cadre institutionnel clair et prévisible.Les gouvernements devraient
protéger les plus vulnérables, tout en encourageant l'autonomie et la
préservation de l’équilibre fiscal.</span></li>

World Bank Group focuses on the risk and its management, as well as its impact
on development issues. Opportunities are concomitant with risks and their
mismanagement can lead to a reverse of hard-won progress as well as an
endangering of the social and economic structure that was at its base. The
consequences of mismanaged risks may destroy lives, assets, trust, and social
stability. And more often than not, the poorest are hit the hardest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Having addressed the benefits of the management of risks, the report
calls for a systemic approach to counter exogenous shocks. Risk management requires
shared action and responsibility at different levels of society (from the
household to the international community). Their complementarity can be broken
down this way:</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> At the household level, by pooling resources, protecting its
members—especially the vulnerable— and allowing them to invest in their future.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Communities can provide informal networks of insurance and protection by helping people deal
with idiosyncratic risks and pooling resources to confront common risks.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enterprises
can help absorb shocks and exploit the opportunity side of risk and by extension, contributing to more stable employment, growing income, and greater innovation
and productivity.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The financial
system through savings, insurance,
and credit can provide useful risk management tools, while managing its own risks responsibly.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The state
has the scale to manage systemic risks at the national and regional levels,
to provide an enabling environment for the other systems to function, and to
provide direct support to vulnerable people. Social protection (insurance and assistance), public goods (national defense,
infrastructure, law and order), and public policy (regulation, macroeconomic
management) will be its main mediums.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The international
community, by enabling policy coordination, and giving support to states when they cannot absorb the impact of the risks they face.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US">In conclusion, the report calls for a <b>m</b></span><span lang="EN-US"><b>ainstreaming
risk management into development programs </b>by national government through the creation of national risk board. Such an institution will require a change in approach (a coordinated and systematic assessment of risks at the national and international levels) for more positive outcomes. The report recognizes that a susbstantial change in the way of doing might be required in the implementation of this recommendation. Five key principles to states are thus put forward:</span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Governments should not generate uncertainty or unnecessary risks</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Governments should provide the right incentives for people and institutions to do their own
planning and preparation, while avoiding imposing risks or losses on others</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Governments should keep a long-run perspective for risk management by building institutional
mechanisms that transcend political cycles</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Governments should promote flexibility within a clear and predictable institutional
framework</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Governments should </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">protect the vulnerable, while encouraging self-reliance and preserving

estimated to be suffering from chronic hunger, regularly not getting enough
food to conduct an active life. The MDGs are within reach for many developing

indicators that aim to capture the multidimensional nature of food insecurity,
its determinants and outcomes. This taxonomy gives a more nuanced picture of
the world states' food security status as well as impacting on the
implementation of targets and the establishment of effective policy measures by

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although their path have been different, the experiences of

commitment to mainstreaming food security and nutrition in public policies and
programmes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The report also highlights the impact of remittances, which
have globally become three times larger than official development assistance,

reduce poverty, leading to reduced hunger, better diets and, given appropriate

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La plus récente édition de la FAO sur <i>L'état de
l'insécurité alimentaire dans le monde </i> met à jour l’impact de l'insécurité alimentaire dans le monde ainsi que les progrès vers l’atteinte des <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Millennium_Development_Goal">Objectifs
du Millénaire pour le Développement (OMD)</a> et des Objectifs du Sommet
Mondial sur l’Alimentation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Près de 842 millions de personnes, une personne sur huit,
souffrait de faim chronique selon les estimations de l’étude. Elles ne disposaient
dans d’assez de nourriture pour mener une vie active selon l’étude. Malgré ces
chiffres, les OMDs restent toujours de portée pour bien des régions en
développement, même si on note des différences entre elles. Des efforts
importants et urgents doivent être faits pour réussir ce pari, cependant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Le rapport présente en outre une série d’indicateurs afin de
donner une vue d’ensemble de la nature multidimensionnelle de l’insécurité
alimentaire, de ses causes et de ses conséquences. La taxonomie donne une vue plus
nuancée de l’état de de la sécurité alimentaire des nations, tout en donnant
aux décideurs politiques des données afin d’implémenter des politiques éradiquant
la faim, l’insécurité alimentaire et la malnutrition. Si la FAO a sensiblement
amélioré cette année sa méthode d’estimation de la sous-alimentation, il lui reste
cependant à apporter d’autres améliorations et à parfaire les données dont elle
a besoin pour appréhender les effets des brusques variations des prix des denrées
alimentaires et des autres chocs économiques. Par conséquent, les estimations
de la sous-alimentation ne prennent pas en compte l’ensemble des effets sur la
faim des brusques hausses des prix de 2007–2008, ni le ralentissement de l’économie
que connaissent certains pays depuis 2009, à plus forte raison les récentes
hausses des prix. On a également besoin d’autres indicateurs pour pouvoir
évaluer de façon plus complète la sous-alimentation et la sécurité alimentaire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">À partir des indicateurs des dimensions de la faim (disponibilité,
accès, utilisation et la stabilité), le rapport analyse les expériences variées
de 6 pays en développement que sont : le <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Bangladesh" title="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</a>, le
<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Ghana" title="Ghana">Ghana</a>, le
<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Nepal" title="Nepal">Népal</a>, le
<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Nicaragua" title="Nicaragua">Nicaragua</a>, le
<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Tajikistan" title="Tajikistan">Tadjikistan</a> et
l’<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Uganda" title="Uganda">Ouganda</a>.
Progrès et revers s’entrecroisent. Le <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Bangladesh">Bangladesh</a>, le <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Ghana">Ghana</a> et le <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Nicaragua">Nicaragua</a> ont diminué de
moitié la prévalence de la sous-alimentation depuis les années 1990. Bien que
plusieurs facteurs expliquent ces avancées, le rapport met l’accent sur l’engagement
des différents gouvernements successifs dans ces pays à promouvoir le
développement rural à long terme et la réduction de la pauvreté dans leurs
politiques publiques.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Le <a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Nepal">Népal</a>,
bien qu’ayant longtemps eu à faire face à des conflits internes est maintenant
sur la voie d’atteindre le premier OMD. Par contre, il est peu probable que le<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Tajikistan"> Tadjikistan</a> et l’<a href="http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Uganda">Ouganda</a> atteignent ces
objectifs. Des réformes agraires non poursuivies et une faible productivité
agricole étant, respectivement, les raisons principales.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les transferts de fonds des populations immigrées (qui sont
trois fois plus importantes que l’aide au développement) ont eu un impact
positif sur la pauvreté et la sécurité alimentaire. En effet, le rapport conclut
à partir des données recueillies que ces transferts de fonds peuvent aider dans
l’éradication de la pauvreté, dans la diminution de la faim, dans la promotion
de meilleurs régimes d’alimentation et si encadrées par des mesures politiques appropriées,
sur les investissements dans les exploitations agricoles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les trajectoires différentes de ces pays permettent de voir
l’impact des interventions favorisant la nutrition et la protection sociale
dans la diminution de l’insécurité alimentaire. La croissance économique est
nécessaire mais elle n’est pas suffisante pour accélérer la réduction de la
faim et de la malnutrition. Les politiques visant à augmenter la productivité agricole
et le développement rural. Des sources alternatives de financement comme les transferts de fonds et
un engagement intégral dans la sécurité alimentaire, la nutrition sont autant
de voies pour enrayer ce fléau.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
