La Contribution des Partenaires Techniques et Financiers dans le Developpment Local: Cas des Communes des Sakassou et de Bouake (Cote d’Ivoire)

Les collectivités territoriales ont de plus en plus recours aux partenaires internes et externes de développement pour des appuis financiers. Les partenaires (Banque mondial, PNUD, UNICEF, JICA, AMF…) au développement contribuent à l’évolution d’un ou plusieurs secteurs d’activités par des appuis matériels ou financiers sous forme de dons ou de prêts remboursables. Ils sont considérés comme un palliatif aux financements des collectivités décentralisées impulsent le développement des communes ivoiriennes et plus particulièrement celles de Bouaké et de Sakassou. À cet effet, les communes de Bouaké et de Sakassou bénéficient des appuis budgétaires et de renforcement de capacité du personnel de la part des partenaires techniques et financiers. L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser les effets des partenaires techniques et financiers dans les communes de Bouaké et de Sakassou. Pour mener à bien notre étude, nous avons utilisés les données issues de la recherche documentaire et des enquêtes menées sur les espaces communaux de Bouaké et de Sakassou. Il ressort que les PTF ont contribué aux financements des équipements éducatifs (construction et équipement d’écoles primaires), de la santé (réhabilitation et équipement des centres de santé), de l’hydraulique (réhabilitation et équipement des pompes villageoises), ainsi que le renforcement de capacité des auteurs et du personnel pour une meilleure gestion des communes de Bouaké et de Sakassou.   Local authorities are increasingly turning to internal and external development partners for financial support. Development partners (World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, JICA, AMF, etc.) contribute to the development of one or more sectors of activity through material or financial support in the form of grants or repayable loans. They are seen as a palliative to the financing of decentralized authorities, and are driving the development of Ivorian communes, particularly those of Bouaké and Sakassou. To this end, the communes of Bouaké and Sakassou receive budgetary support and staff capacity-building from technical and financial partners. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of technical and financial partners in the communes of Bouaké and Sakassou. To carry out our study, we used data from documentary research and surveys carried out in the communes of Bouaké and Sakassou. We found that TFPs have contributed to the financing of educational facilities (construction and equipping of elementary school), health (rehabilitation and equipping of health centers), hydraulics (rehabilitation and equipping of village pumps), as well as capacity building of authors and staff for better management of the Bouaké and Sakassou communes

Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the past two centuries to explain LDG, but rigorous tests of the drivers of LDGs have been limited by a lack of high-quality global species richness data. Here we produce a high-resolution (0.025° × 0.025°) map of local tree species richness using a global forest inventory database with individual tree information and local biophysical characteristics from ~1.3 million sample plots. We then quantify drivers of local tree species richness patterns across latitudes. Generally, annual mean temperature was a dominant predictor of tree species richness, which is most consistent with the metabolic theory of biodiversity (MTB). However, MTB underestimated LDG in the tropics, where high species richness was also moderated by topographic, soil and anthropogenic factors operating at local scales. Given that local landscape variables operate synergistically with bioclimatic factors in shaping the global LDG pattern, we suggest that MTB be extended to account for co-limitation by subordinate drivers

Processus De Creation D’une Zone De Conservation De La Biodiversite Sur Le Barrage Hydroelectrique De Soubre, Sud-Ouest De La Côte D’ivoire

Cette étude a pour objectif de montrer l’importance de la participation des communautés locales à la réussite d’un projet de création de zone de conservation de la biodiversité. La mise en place de ladite zone a nécessité la formation des autorités et communautés locales sur les services écosystémiques. Cette formation a permis une meilleure implication des communautés à la gestion durable des ressources. Ainsi, 20 représentants ont servi de personnel d’appui pour les travaux d’aménagement et de restauration du site. L’état initial de la flore et la végétation a été évalué. L’analyse des données a mis en évidence la présence de 346 espèces végétales reparties en 262 genres et 89 familles. Parmi celles-ci il a été enregistré 50 espèces prioritaires pour la conservation. Au sein des espèces utilitaires de la région, 13 sont plus importantes. Cependant, six d’entre elles sont moins abondantes dans la zone de conservation de biodiversité. La caractérisation de la flore initiale a guidé dans le choix des espèces de reboisement pour la restauration. Ainsi, les espèces prioritaires pour la conservation et celles désignées importantes pour la population ont été privilégiées au cours de la restauration. Les résultats obtenus renseignent d’une part sur les outils d’acceptation sociale et les niveaux d’implication de la communauté locale d’un projet de mise en place d’une zone de conservation de biodiversité et d’autre part sur l’importance de la caractérisation de la flore initiale. This paper focuses on showing the importance of the participation of local communities in the success of a project to create a biodiversity conservation area. The establishment of this zone required the training of local authorities and communities on ecosystem services. This training allowed for a better involvement of the communities in the sustainable management of resources. Twenty (20) community representatives served as support staff for the development and restoration of the site. The initial state of the flora and vegetation was assessed. The analysis of the data revealed the presence of 346 plant species divided into 262 genera and 89 families. Of these, 50 priority species for conservation were recorded. Of the utilitarian species of the region, 13 are more important. Six of them are less abundant in the biodiversity conservation area. The characterisation of the initial flora guided the selection of reforestation species for restoration. Priority species for conservation and those designated as important for the population were favoured during the restoration. The results obtained provide information, on the one hand, on the tools for social acceptance and the levels of involvement of the local community of a project to set up a biodiversity conservation area and, on the other hand, on the importance of characterizing the initial flora

Floristic diversity and conservation value of the biodiversity refuge area of the Soubré hydroelectric dam (South-West of Côte d'Ivoire)

After the establishment of the biodiversity conservation area of the Soubré hydroelectric dam, scientific studies showing its value as a biodiversity reserve and its importance for the population were not implemented. As a result, no sustainable management strategy has been initiated. this study was conducted to make up for this shortcoming. It aims to assess its conservation value. The data collection methodology combined botanical inventories and an ethnobotanical survey. The analyse of data was based on the plant diversity and the importance of the area for local populations. Investigations show a rich flora of 346 species. There are 38 endemic species, 10 vulnerable and 8 locally threatened with extinction. This flora richness allows to attribute to the conservation area the High Conservation Value of category 1 (HCV 1). Among the species list, 84 are cited by the populations as useful plants. The use categories are, in order of importance, medicinal use, food use, Handicrafted use, timber. The organs sought are mainly the leaves in the practice of traditional medicine, the fruits in food and the stem in crafts, timber and firewood. Among useful species, 13 are very important for local population. Of these, 6 are less abundant in the area such as Ricinodendron heudelotii, Carpolobia lutea G. Don. The capacity for the area to serve as a refuge for useful species gives it the HCV 5. These results will allow the implementation of appropriate management
