Les Etats-Unis traversent une crise sanitaire et économique qui remettent en cause les enjeux du scrutin présidentiel du 3 novembre 2020. Au cœur de la tempête, Donald Trump, qui en refusant de prendre des mesures drastiques pour juguler la propagation du COVID-19, semblait ne pas avoir mesurer l’ampleur de la pandémie sur l’économie du pays et la population américaine. Dans la même veine, le candidat démocrate Joe Biden est plus que jamais dans l’obligation de rassembler les deux familles libérales et gauchistes du parti afin de fédérer d’office, le camp démocrate autour de sa candidature. Nous avons posé la question à Laurence Nardon, responsable du Programme Amérique du nord à l’IFRI

    The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed new vulnerabilities in social, infrastructure, and governance systems. In the first months of the pandemic, there was a genuine concern about the capacity of the Global South to contain the spread of the virus. African cities were particularly vulnerable, with some experts1, including the head of WHO2, predicting a catastrophe for the continent. Despite the structural and chronic challenges that African cities face, including informality, poverty, a ...

    This paper provides a preliminary assessment of COVID-19’s impact on Africa, focusing on the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, based on information available as of October 2020. We first identify the two key long-term issues of the SSA countries before the crisis: resource dependency and slow productivity growth. COVID-19 has hit SSA countries hard, causing human and economic destruction and wiping out economic progress from the last decade. Instead of growing at 2.9% in 2020, as ...

    Getting vaccines into the arms of the right people, those most at risk of dying from the disease, could radically reduce the death rate from COVID-19 within months. It would also normalise the situation in hospitals, trigger a swifter economic recovery than is widely anticipated, and dramatically reduce the need for borrowing by governments that future generations will have to repay. Vaccination has become even more urgent as new, more infectious strains of the virus have spread to ...

    Dès les premiers cas du Coronavirus relevés en Afrique, les prédictions les plus sombres ont été faites sur la catastrophe sanitaire à venir sur le continent, en raison d’un certain nombre de caractéristiques supposées favoriser la propagation de l’épidémie. Ces prévisions ont été démenties par la rapidité des ripostes des Etats et par divers autres facteurs. La progression de la Covid-19 en Afrique n’est pas le fait d’une dynamique unique mais plutôt de multiples profils de risques ...
