Dialogue between miners and agropastoralists to reduce conflicts 10/01/2023

Summary :
In the article “Dialogue between Miners and Agropastoralists to Reduce Conflicts” published in January 2023 by Inter‑réseaux Développement Rural, Chec Ibrahima Ouattara, Bénazir Ilboudo, and Marie Hur describe the pilot Gold for Climate project in Burkina Faso . Amid rising tensions caused by mining activities—land appropriation, water use, and corridor closures—the project creates consultation platforms involving mining companies, agropastoralists, and local authorities . These dialogues aim to boost agropastoral resilience, preserve traditional grazing practices, and foster social cohesion in a climate-affected setting. Tools include compensation mechanisms and regular participatory meetings. While the initiative shows promise, the authors highlight challenges such as ensuring durable dialogue structures and embedding these approaches within municipal governance in mining areas.

The gender quota as a government technique in Burkina Faso: a mixture of new instruments and political inertia 29/01/2025
Summary :
The article The gender quota as a government technique in Burkina Faso: between change of instruments and political inertia, written by Abdoul K. Saidou and published in Afrique Contemporaine (n°275, 2023/1), analyzes the application and the limits of the gender quota policy in Burkina Faso. Despite the adoption in 2009 of a law imposing a quota of 30% of female candidates in municipal and legislative elections, its impact has remained limited. The article highlights the political resistance and circumvention strategies put in place by the parties, in particular the effect of these quotas. The 2020 reform, which introduced new incentive instruments (such as a financial bonus for parties respecting quotas), did not allow for significant representation of women. The author thus underlines the political inertia and the systemic obstacles which slow down the effective application of this policy.

Perceptions de la place et du rôle des acteurs religieux dans le jeu électoral du Sénégal 18/11/2024
Summary :
The report by the Tombouctou Institute, in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, examines the role of religious actors in the Senegalese electoral process. Historically, these figures have contributed to political stability, particularly during recent crises. However, their influence on current electoral choices is questioned, especially with the rise of social networks and the evolution of relations between religious leaders and young people. The study, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, reveals that while the Senegalese confer the peacemaking role of religious leaders, they are increasingly skeptical about their direct impact on electoral decisions. Young people, in particular, question the credibility of political instructions emanating from religious leaders, preferring neutral mediation promoting dialogue and transparency in the electoral process.
