Pour les Mauritaniens, l’éducation et la santé sont les deux plus importants problèmes du pays 29/11/2024
Summary :
According to an Afrobarometer survey published in August 2023, Mauritanians consider education (42%), health (42%), and poverty (40%) as the main problems that the government must address. More than half of citizens (55%) have sought health care in the past 12 months, while 33% have used public education services. Access to education is considered easy by 80% of respondents, but access to medical care is divided (51% easy versus 49% difficult). Corruption remains an obstacle, with 43% of users having paid bribes to obtain identity documents, and around 30% to access health, police, or education services. Citizens express general dissatisfaction with government performance in maintaining infrastructure and providing basic services, including health, education, and drinking water.

Institutionalized Corruption in Côte d’Ivoire 14/10/2025
Summary :
This article analyzes the psychological, social, and cultural determinants that underpin the normalization and institutionalization of corruption in Côte d’Ivoire. It argues that corruption is not merely the consequence of institutional weaknesses, but is sustained by cultural logics: a redistribution logic of acquired wealth, which motivates influential actors to share benefits with their kin; a logic of lucrative positions, where public offices are viewed as profit-making opportunities; and social learning of corruption, whereby individuals mimic corrupt behaviors observed among superiors. The paper also discusses the notion of imitative resourcefulness, in which people replicate corruption practices perceived as normal in the system. Based on qualitative interviews with civil servants, the study reveals that for many, corruption has become a routine part of state functioning.
