    Ancienne colonie française d’Afrique de l’Ouest, la population du Burkina Faso est estimĂ©e Ă  18 450 495 d’individus vivant essentiellement d’une Ă©conomie rurale et agricole de subsistance. L’économie burkinabĂš est fortement dominĂ©e par le secteur Ă©conomique informel Ă  90% (INSD, 2016). Depuis son indĂ©pendance en 1960, le Burkina Faso a initiĂ© plusieurs rĂ©formes et politiques pour rendre le systĂšme Ă©ducatif plus performant et adaptĂ© aux besoins des populations. Les rĂ©formes les plus rĂ©centes sont l’adoption et la mise en Ɠuvre de la Loi d’orientation de l’éducation de 2007 et l’adoption du Programme de DĂ©veloppement StratĂ©gique de l’Education de Base (PDSEB) couvrant la pĂ©riode de 2012 Ă  2021. PilotĂ© par trois ministĂšres Ă  savoir le MinistĂšre de l’Education Nationale, de l’AlphabĂ©tisation et de la Promotion des Langues nationales (MENAPLN), le MinistĂšre de l’Enseignement SupĂ©rieur, de la Recherche Scientifique et de l’Innovation (MESRSI) et le MinistĂšre de la Jeunesse et de la Promotion de l’Entrepreneuriat des Jeunes (MJPEJ), le systĂšme Ă©ducatif burkinabĂš est structurĂ© en quatre types d’éducation (formelle, non formelle, informelle et spĂ©cialisĂ©e), son ambition Ă©tant de produire des jeunes citoyens burkinabĂš responsables, productifs et crĂ©atifs. Cependant, le systĂšme Ă©ducatif burkinbĂš est demeurĂ© embryonnaire et peu dĂ©veloppĂ© malgrĂ© les diffĂ©rents efforts dĂ©ployĂ©s par le Gouvernement et ses partenaires. En effet, une forte proportion de burkinabĂš n’est pas instruite et l’analphabĂ©tisme constitue un sĂ©rieux problĂšme de dĂ©veloppement avec une forte prĂ©valence au sein de la population adulte (15 ans et plus). Le taux d’alphabĂ©tisation est estimĂ© Ă  34,5 % en 2014, le taux brut de scolarisation est estimĂ© Ă  90,7 % pour le primaire et Ă  17,6 % pour le secondaire au titre de l’annĂ©e scolaire 2017/18, constituant de sĂ©rieux handicaps pour la mise en Ɠuvre des politiques Ă©ducatives, notamment de qualitĂ© et accessible pour tous (INSD, 2018 ; UNESCO, 2017). La mise en Ɠuvre du Plan dĂ©cennal de dĂ©veloppement de l'Ă©ducation de base (PDDEB) a permis l’amĂ©lioration des indicateurs au niveau du primaire (47,4% en 2001 Ă  88,3% en 2011), dans le post primaire et le prĂ©scolaire (1,44% en 2001 Ă  3% en 2010). Avec un taux de scolarisation de 79,6% en 2011, le Burkina Faso n’a pas atteint l’éducation pour tous en 2015 tel que mentionnĂ© dans le cadre d’action de Dakar adoptĂ© lors du sommet mondial sur l’éducation qui s’est tenu en 2000. Se basant sur des sources de donnĂ©es provenant de travaux existants, le prĂ©sent rapport propose d’abord une description du systĂšme Ă©ducatif burkinabĂš avant d’examiner l'adĂ©quation entre le systĂšme Ă©ducatif et les besoins des populations

    Universal primary and secondary education is a key target of the Sustainable Development Goals. While substantial gains have been made at the primary school level, progress towards universal secondary education has slowed, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we aimed to determine perceived barriers of secondary schooling in rural Burkina Faso, where secondary school completion is among the lowest globally (<10%). We conducted a two-stage qualitative study using semi-structured interviews (N = 49). In the first stage, we sampled enrolled students (n = 10), out-of-school adolescents (n = 9), parents of enrolled students (n = 5), parents of out-of-school adolescents (n = 5) and teachers (n = 10) from a random sample of five secondary schools. In a second stage, we interviewed key informants knowledgeable of the school context using snowball sampling (n = 10). Systematic analysis of the pooled sample was based on a reading of interview transcripts and coding of the narratives in NVivo12 using the diathesis-stress model. Recurring themes were classified using a priori developed categories of hypothesized barriers to secondary schooling. Major reported barriers included school-related expenses and the lack of school infrastructure and resources. Insufficient and heterogeneous French language skills (the official language of instruction in Burkina Faso) were seen as a major barrier to secondary schooling. Forced marriages, adolescent pregnancies, and the low perceived economic benefits of investing in secondary schooling were reported as key barriers among young women. Our results guide future interventions and policy aimed at achieving universal secondary education and gender equity in the region

    What explains gender inequalities in HIV/AIDS prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from the demographic and health surveys

    Abstract Background Women are disproportionally affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The determinants of gender inequality in HIV/AIDS may vary across countries and require country-specific interventions to address them. This study aimed to identify the socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics underlying gender inequalities in HIV/AIDS in 21 SSA countries. Methods We applied an extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition approach to data from Demographic and Health Surveys and AIDS Indicator Surveys to quantify the differences in HIV/AIDS prevalence between women and men attributable to socio-demographic factors, sexual behaviours, and awareness of HIV/AIDS. We decomposed gender inequalities into two components: the percentage attributable to different levels of the risk factors between women and men (the “composition effect”) and the percentage attributable to risk factors having differential effects on HIV/AIDS prevalence in women and men (the “response effect”). Results Descriptive analyses showed that the difference between women and men in HIV/AIDS prevalence varied from a low of 0.68 % (P = 0.008) in Liberia to a high of 11.5 % (P < 0.001) in Swaziland. The decomposition analysis showed that 84 % (P < 0.001) and 92 % (P < 0.001) of the higher prevalence of HIV/AIDS among women in Uganda and Ghana, respectively, was explained by the different distributions of HIV/AIDS risk factors, particularly age at first sex between women and men. In the majority of countries, however, observed gender inequalities in HIV/AIDS were chiefly explained by differences in the responses to risk factors; the differential effects of age, marital status and occupation on prevalence of HIV/AIDS for women and men were among the significant contributors to this component. In Cameroon, Guinea, Malawi and Swaziland, a combination of the composition and response effects explained gender inequalities in HIV/AIDS prevalence. Conclusions The factors that explain gender inequality in HIV/AIDS in SSA vary by country, suggesting that country-specific interventions are needed. Unmeasured factors also contributed substantially to the difference in HIV/AIDS prevalence between women and men, highlighting the need for further study

    MalgrĂ© la croissance dĂ©mographique importante des pays africains et leur population jeune, ces pays parviennent difficilement Ă  tirer pleinement profit de cet avantage en raison du manque d’opportunitĂ©s d’emploi pour les jeunes. Les systĂšmes Ă©ducatifs sont Ă©galement considĂ©rĂ©s comme inadaptĂ©s aux besoins du marchĂ© du travail. Cet ouvrage examine le systĂšme Ă©ducatif, l’orientation scolaire et professionnelle ainsi que leur contribution Ă  l’insertion socioprofessionnelle des jeunes dans trois pays d’Afrique francophone (Burkina Faso, Cameroun et Togo), dans le contexte de la promotion de l’entrepreneuriat et du travail dĂ©cent
