Comprehensive Livestock Driven Typology for Food and Nutrition Security in Mali

To guide the selection and design of appropriate interventions for increasing the production and consumption of animal-sourced foods, in this paper we propose a spatial typology based on a comprehensive food and nutrition security (FNS) framework for livestock in Mali. This framework has four dimensions or pillars, i.e. potential, availability, access and utilization. Using data for each of the four dimensions, efficiency and average performance in terms of livestock production, access and utilization are estimated at sub-national levels. Whereas nutritional status will be used to set priority levels, measure of efficiency is used to guide locations where appropriate investments in livestock will produce more benefits in terms of food security, employment and poverty alleviation. To assess production potential for the livestock sector, we use the stochastic frontier framework (SFF) which allows for the estimation of both livestock efficiency and its drivers

Modelling the Economy-Wide Impact of Technological Innovation and Mapping Agricultural Potential: The case of Burkina Faso

In this study, we develop an economy wide model for Burkina Faso to assess the most promising opportunities for technological innovations to enhance maize production and productivity and their economywide effects. We simulate the implementation of two agricultural technological innovations using a customized Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. One innovation is an improvement of famers’ efficiency, i.e. operating on the production frontier (typology scenario). The other shifts the frontier itself and involves the introduction of a new cultivar (crop scenario). The model has been made agriculture-focused through the following features: separate agriculture and non-agriculture labor markets, separate urban and rural representative household groups, including welfare analysis and the imperfect integration of land markets, i.e. the land market is split into agroecological zones (AEZs). The CGE model is a single-country, multi-sector, multi-market model and solved for multiple periods in a recursive manner, ten years in the case of Burkina Faso. The CGE model is calibrated using a 2013 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). The SAM has several interesting features with regards to agricultural modelling and highlights the focus crops for Burkina Faso and particularly maize, which is the focus crop of this study. The results showed prospects of gains for the economy with the introduction of technological innovations in the maize value chain in Burkina Faso. Welfare analyses performed showed welfare gains for all household profiles studied. In other words, the introduction of innovations in the maize value chain seems to be pro-poor. Finally, the study found that a total increase of about 2% of public expenditure in this sector over 10 years is required to achieve the simulated results

L'agriculture de décrue au gré de la variabilité des politiques publiques sénégalaises

Introduction Sur les rives de la moyenne vallée du fleuve Sénégal, la culture du sorgho de décrue a assuré la base de la subsistance des populations pendant quelques millénaires (fig. 1). Or, dès l’indépendance, le gouvernement sénégalais a opté pour une politique de modernisation de l’agriculture qui prévoyait le remplacement de cette agriculture de décrue par une riziculture irriguée intensive. Après la construction de deux grands barrages régulateurs, à Manantali en amont et à Diama en ava..

The impact of trade liberalization on Senegal: An assessment of the potential impacts of an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) on Senegalese Households using a Single country CGE analysis

This study developed a single country computable general equilibrium (CGE) model including a Household disaggregation in order to measure the potential impacts of two scenarios, the first on full liberalization and the second on the potential implementation of Economic partnership agreement (EPA) between European Union and Ecowas. The classical indicators of poverty and inequality were also computed in addition to the equivalent variation measure in order to capture the effects of the implementation of these policies on Senegalese households. The results show that the EPA scenario seems to be more beneficial in term of welfare variation than the full liberalization scenario. However, the urban households seem to benefit more. The analysis of the inequality indicators shows whatever the scenario considered a decrease of the income inequality. However the EPA scenario again seems to be more beneficial. Lastly, concerning the poverty indicators, the two scenarios envisaged did not seem to reduce poverty

The Impact of domestic remittances on Households' Income Distribution in a context of Global Food Crisis

This paper aims to assess how internal urban-rural remittances can soften macroeconomics shocks in a developing country. This question is of particular interest given the recent food prices crisis between 2007 and 2008 and this paper is particularly interested in evaluating if internal remittances can alleviate income inequalities linked to agricultural prices variation. This study has two objectives: to design a computable general equilibrium model introducing micro-founded internal transfers in order to capture all the redistributive channels and, as a result, to measure the potential impact of these internal transfers. We choose to focus on Senegal and we build an original single-country CGE model that reproduce public redistribution policy and internal transfers, both calibrated on a recent social accounting matrix dated from 2006. We base our work on three important Senegalese householdsísurveys: ESAM I (1995), ESAM II (2002) and ESPS (2005) which provide speciÖc data on disaggregated households, such as spending and income structures, internal transfers and some data on migration. Using all data available, this original model is supposed to recreate all theoretical mechanisms of redistribution, like public transfers as well as private transfers and their interactions
