Substantive Democracy Tested by Electoral Democracy and New Wars in Africa 16/04/2025
Summary :
The article explores the shortcomings of electoral democracy in Africa, often limited to formal processes with little impact on citizens' lives. It advocates for substantive democracy, focused on human dignity, reducing inequalities, and ensuring effective participation. The author highlights that post-electoral crises and armed conflicts, termed "new wars," weaken institutions and hinder democratic consolidation. He calls for rethinking the political contract by integrating inclusive policies and strengthening societal resilience against security challenges.

rends and factors associated with anemia among women of reproductive age in Mali 18/09/2025
Summary :
This article examines the trends and determinants of anemia among women of reproductive age in Mali using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 2001 to 2018. Findings reveal persistently high anemia prevalence despite some fluctuations: a decrease between 2001 and 2006 followed by an increase in later years. Key associated factors include age, educational attainment, socioeconomic status, rural versus urban residence, and number of children. The analysis highlights the strong influence of poverty and unequal access to healthcare in sustaining the problem. The authors recommend multisectoral interventions addressing nutrition, female education, and health service delivery improvements as crucial to reducing anemia and mitigating its adverse impact on maternal and child health.

Artificial Intelligence and the All-Too-Real Slowdown in Human Development Progress 08/07/2025
Summary :
The WATHI podcast discusses a UNDP report highlighting an unprecedented slowdown in human development progress since 2020, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. It points out that only two African countries—the Seychelles and Mauritius—rank in the very high Human Development Index (HDI) category, while eight others (Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa, Gabon, Botswana, Libya, and Morocco) fall into the high HDI group. Meanwhile, 22 African nations are in the low HDI category, with Chad, the Central African Republic, Somalia, and South Sudan at the very bottom. The podcast also considers the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in this context: a potential driver of progress, yet part of a complex debate on whether it can help reverse the current slowdown.

National Program for the Acceleration of Girls’ Education and Well-Being 08/09/2025
Summary :
The article entitled “National Program for Accelerating Girls’ Education and Well-Being, Government of Benin, July 2024”, authored by UNICEF and published in July 2024 on Unicef.org via WATHI, outlines a bold initiative to eliminate educational disparities and promote girls’ well-being. It begins with a global overview, noting that 244 million children aged 6–18 are out of school (including 118.5 million girls), while highlighting the importance of SDG target 4.5 and sexual and reproductive health. Then, it details the situation in Benin: low girls’ enrollment rates, regional disparities, insufficient school infrastructure, gender-based violence, limited access to reproductive health services, and challenges in transitioning from school to employment. The article underscores the persistent obstacles and underscores the need for a strengthened national program to ensure inclusive education for girls.
