Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Niger – October–November 2025 (No. 66) 12/01/2026
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Niger (October–November 2025) highlights a generally favorable situation for pastoral households at the end of the rainy season. Pasture availability is assessed as good to very good across most monitored areas, supported by above-average vegetation cover. Surface water resources remain largely sufficient for livestock watering, despite localized shortages, notably in Gouré and Tchintabaraden. Livestock body condition is overall satisfactory, reflecting these favorable environmental conditions. From an economic perspective, rising livestock prices combined with a generalized decline in cereal prices have improved livestock-to-cereal terms of trade, benefiting herders in most regions. However, the bulletin also reports a slight deterioration in the security context, characterized by increased livestock theft, intercommunal conflicts, and armed incidents in certain areas. As the transhumance period approaches, these security challenges may heighten tensions around natural resource access and pose risks to pastoral livelihoods.

Mapping corruption risks in the education sector in Guinea 12/01/2026
Summary :
This report by the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning examines corruption risks in Guinea’s education sector, focusing on three critical areas: public procurement, school infrastructure construction, and the management of textbooks and school feeding programmes. Despite the existence of a formal regulatory framework, the study identifies widespread practices that undermine transparency, including bribery, manipulation of procurement procedures, weak oversight mechanisms, and limited technical capacity at the local level. School construction projects are frequently affected by political pressure and non-compliance with the official school mapping system. The textbook supply chain is particularly vulnerable, with documented cases of fraud, poor contract enforcement, and large discrepancies between planned and actual distribution. School feeding programmes also face risks related to inflated prices, incomplete deliveries, and substandard food quality. The report concludes with a set of practical recommendations aimed at strengthening accountability, improving stock management systems, enhancing inspection capacities, and increasing community participation to reduce corruption risks in the education sector.

Civil Society in Democratic Transition in Mali: Resilience, Relay, or Readaptation? 24/02/2026
Summary :
This article analyzes the evolution of Malian civil society within the political transition initiated in 2020. Amid profound institutional reforms, the dissolution of political parties in 2025, and a perceived shrinking of civic space, civil society faces a strategic turning point. The study provides a typological mapping of actors (human rights organizations, youth movements, women’s associations, trade unions, religious organizations, think tanks, and diaspora groups) and examines their contribution to state refoundation reforms. It highlights tensions between collaboration and autonomy, support for transitional authorities and counter-power functions. The article also emphasizes major structural challenges: dependency on external funding, organizational weaknesses, internal fragmentation, and political ambiguities. Despite these constraints, civil society remains a key actor in social cohesion and civic participation. The analysis concludes that its future will depend on its adaptability, financial resilience, and ability to clarify its democratic positioning.
