L’investissement agricole est une condition nécessaire pour développer et organiser le secteur agricole en Afrique. Le potentiel agricole Africain présente des opportunités à saisir en termes d’intensification de production et structuration des chaines des chaines de valeurs agricoles. Bien que diversifié (issu de plusieurs sources publiques, privées et étrangères), l’investissement agricole demeure faible. Le basculement vers une agriculture moderne et intensive doit nécessairement passer par l’élaboration d’une politique agricole globale qui prend en considération plusieurs volets (irrigation, utilisation des inputs et organisation des circuits) et aboutit à la fin à une production agricole suffisante capable d’assurer la sécurité alimentaire de la population et à un secteur agricole actif et bien intégré dans l’économie des pays africains.

    Faut-il se réjouir et/ou se féliciter de l’émergence, enfin, d’un accord annoncé autour du conflit libyen, dans un monde dont on nous dit que tout y est volatile, incertain, complexe et ambigu ? Ou, faut-il raison garder et attendre pour juger de la résilience des institutions nées des accords et du vote de Genève, face aux assauts de la Volatilité, de l’Incertitude, de la Complexité et de l’Ambiguïté ? Si on adopte la dernière attitude, il serait plus réaliste de saluer l’effort de ...

    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 ...

    While the economic recovery around the world remains uneven, fragile, and unbalanced across sectors, financial markets are generally doing very well, thanks! In the United States, only half of the unemployment caused by the pandemic last year has been reversed, while stock markets continued to boom. Of course, this largely reflected the extraordinary support given by monetary authorities since March last year. As in the period after the 2007-08 global financial crisis, voices have ...

    The new president of the United States has already issued over 40 executive orders, reversing many of Donald Trump’s most contentious policies. Biden’s arrival will likely help heal internal and international divisions. His policies are also likely to boost U.S. economic growth in the short-run and make it more equitable and sustainable. However, numerous obstacles could delay and dilute the impact of the new administration. President Joe Biden has assembled a strong and highly exp ...

    Regional integration in Africa is seen as a priority by many of the continent’s policymakers and economic stakeholders. With all Africa now signed up to the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), the challenge now is to implement a continental market for goods and services and establish the foundations of a continental customs union. Many on the continent see the AfCFTA as an investment, economic-diversification, and job-creation blueprint that will shape the future of A ...
