Education for citizenship and curricular contextualization in Guinea-Bissau 01/12/2025
Summary :
The article “Education for Citizenship and Curricular Contextualization in Guinea-Bissau” explores how citizenship education can help build an inclusive, democratic society in Guinea-Bissau. The authors argue that beyond mere school access — which remains insufficient — the curriculum must be consciously structured around three core axes: the individual, the relational and the community. Through these dimensions, education should foster values, attitudes, and behaviors that uphold human rights, peace, gender equality, development education, environmental preservation, health education, and media literacy. The goal is to shape informed, responsible citizens capable of actively participating in communal life. The article also highlights the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to support these aims. In short, education should go beyond access: it becomes a tool for social inclusion and curricular justice.

Sahel: Working in Cocoa… to Cultivate Sesame 12/02/2025
Summary :
The article examines an economic and agricultural trend in West Africa: reinvesting income from working in cocoa plantations in Côte d'Ivoire into sesame and cashew nut cultivation in Sahelian countries. These crops provide a more profitable alternative to staple crops like maize and cassava. Cashew trees aid reforestation and soil fertility, while sesame, drought-resistant, fits well into local agricultural cycles. The rise of these crops improves farmers' economic conditions, promoting education and reducing rural exodus. However, labor migration to Côte d'Ivoire for cocoa farming, including child labor, remains a critical issue.

Multi-sectoral Surveillance Bulletin on the Regions of Timbuktu and Taoudénni 19/03/2025
Summary :
The Multisectoral Surveillance Bulletin for the Timbuktu and Taoudénni regions (Mali) for October-November 2024 highlights several major concerns: floods that have destroyed irrigated agricultural areas, rising rice prices, and an unstable security situation with 78 incidents reported (+21.87% compared to the previous two-month period). The agricultural situation is marked by a delay in off-season crops due to flooding. Livestock farming is improving thanks to sufficient pastureland in Timbuktu, although less favorable in Taoudénni. Access to water for livestock is generally satisfactory. Fisheries production is declining due to rising water levels. Acute malnutrition remains a concern, particularly affecting children and requiring an urgent response. Displaced populations continue to increase due to conflict, reaching 42,785 in Timbuktu and 2,899 in Taoudénni.

The Influence of Muslim Religious Leaders on Politics in Mali 12/06/2025
Summary :
The article “L’influence des leaders religieux musulmans sur la politique au Mali”, by Pape Abdou Ndour (Bah Traoré), published April 14, 2023 by WATHI, examines the growing political influence of Muslim religious leaders in Mali. Although Mali is officially secular, religious dignitaries have strengthened their role: they sway public opinion, direct voting behaviour, pressure the government, and can influence law adoption (such as the 2009 Family Code). The piece highlights figures like Mahmoud Dicko and the High Islamic Council, who played roles in political crises—organizing protests, mediating conflicts, and influencing constitutional reforms. The debate over secularism has resurfaced with a new constitution: some leaders advocate for an “Islamic” or multiconfessional state and oppose secularism. The author emphasizes the leaders’ roles as mediators, political influencers, and sometimes decisive actors in Mali’s political life.
