Full textThe aim of the thesis is to contribute to the design of a new development strategy in West Africa, on the basis of the experience of the economic community of West Africa’s member-states. The study is comprised of three components. In the first component relating to the global evolution, are examined the historical and geopolitical dynamics of the sub-region and the analysis of the crisis of structure and operation vicious circles. As concerns the second component, it deals with the present policies being implemented, namely, adjustment policies and initiatives to overcome the socio-economic impasse. Seven hypotheses on the implications of structural adjustment are tested through case-studies. The last component, corresponding to the alternative, contains the proposal of an integral human development strategy in the sub-region, based on the valorization of human, material and financial resources, the development of integrated channels of development, the agro-industrial and artisanal integration, the setting up of new methods and criteria of management, as well as new forms of co-operation. A new method for evaluating achievements bound to a set of indicators is also proposed

Full textThis Ph.D. dissertation empirically investigates the optimality of a single currency in ECOWAS. It is subdivided into 4 chapters and is part of a dynamic approach to the theory of Optimum Currency Area (OCA). Chapter 1 shows that the traditional theory of OCA has not made it possible to make a credible and decisive judgement on the ability of West African states to form an OCA. In addition, it highlights the ambiguity of the results obtained in previous empirical works. However, these works are dated and the majority of them are static and omit the structural changes likely to occur in the area. Chapter 2 analyzes the degree of asymmetry of shocks within ECOWAS. We show that the economies of the region are marked by relatively high degrees of asymmetry. However, we stress the need to take into account the dynamic aspect of shocks, since a monetary union considered from the outset as costly can over time become beneficial. Chapter 3 identifies the determinants of synchronization of business cycles in ECOWAS. We show that bilateral trade and financial integration are determinants of the synchronization of business cycles in the region. In addition, we show that single currency increases the synchronization of business cycles through bilateral trade. Chapter 4 explores income and consumption smoothing patterns among ECOWAS. We show that official development assistance and gross savings smooth out asymmetric shocks between ECOWAS countries. Moreover, we show that even if the degree of risksharing has increased over time, it has remains limited. Thus, the creation of a supranational fiscal could provide an additional tool to mitigate asymmetric shocks in the region

Therefore, a policy of regional economic integration appears to them as a necessity on the way to reach the stage of economical and political independance. The goals defined by ecowas' treaty (article two) consist in promoting cooperation and development in all economic areas and especially, in industry, transport, currency and finance, agriculture. . .

Full textThe search for improving the liberalization process of the movement of goods and capitals in the ecowas considering the current but yet unachieved example of the eec, has revealed that, despite the ideological differences, the west African states are unanimous in perceiving integration as the only way to favor development. The outer factors that have shaped the present face of the ecowas are linked not only to the submission of the community to the constraints of the international economic law (gatt, imf) but also to the maintenance of the European influence over each state's law and over the communal law. The inner factors searched within the written law of the two treaties (eec, ecowas) have unveiled resemblances in the circulation principles of each convention. The idea about creating an ecowas currency area - in order to solve the problems of currency inconvertibility, to eliminate the restrictions on exchanges transactions, and to promote the free movement of capitals - has yet to be fulfilled. Accordingly, the eec system seems interesting. The compulsive effect of the European law (rule of primacy, direct effect, immediate applicability) - if also recognized in the ecowas law and adapted to the latter's conception - would give it a constraining effect which would compel the member states to apply the communal law. The function of the community court, which is not yet actual, will be vital for controlling the application of the communal law and by extension of its powers, the ability of individual and legal entities to act before the. . .

Full textAfter experimenting with different development strategies since 1950, developing countries came to consider economic integration as the best means of overcoming obstacles to their development. The first attempts at economic integration in black Africa took place on the eve of the decolonization movement and became increasingly frequent after 1960. This was a euphoric era characterized by the proliferation of economic interest groups throughout Africa. West Africa presents a distinct phenomenon in this respect. Its socio-economic scene has since been enriched by inter-governmental economic and political institutions of a very diverse nature. We can note the three leading instances of regional economic integration: CEAO, CEDEAO, MRU. These various endeavours are sure proof of the value which the states set by economics groupings. They represent a systematic rejection of inward looking policies and also show the clear desire for cooperation between neighbouring states. This study first analyses the impact of this proliferation of economic interest group and the different integrating mechanisms of the two leading communities and the aims to make an assessment of economic integration in West Africa. The essential conclusion of this study is that integration policies among west African states involving these many organisations have been far from successful : they have reached a dangerous impasse. This study therefore also aims to propose new means of cooperation

Full textFrom more than thirty years, the French West African states have been trying to achieve the integration of their economies. An analysis of the different attempts at integration shows a shifting tendency towards the liberal reference model. By introducing more varied reponses based on progressivity, selectivity and flexibility towards the question of customs deregulation, and by arranging the distribution of costs and advantages according to the principle of compensatory equity, the organised exchange zone (OEZ), on the recommendations of the CEAO, is challenging the free-trade rules adhered to bu the UDAO and the UDEAO. Unfortunately, this evolution, more sensitive to local differences and the gradual reduction of development inequalities, does not completely show through in the integration mechanisms: legal adjustments show a backward trend towards the reinforcement of unilateralism, whilst economic instruments, although innovative, remain so ineffectual that they cannot claim to represent the ideal of solidarity. This hiatus which is slowing the development of the integration process has a negative effect on its results, which have failed to reach the defined objectives. It is necessary to eliminate such an obstacle even more so since regional integration has become more important than ever. This will be possible through the emergence of a true central community axis and the establishment of genuine community practices

Full textFor more than three decades, third world countries have opted for regional integration as a mean to achieve economic development. Relying strongly, although in an irrelevant way, on the european pattern, they have establis-hed regional groupings so as to be in a better position to defend their interests at the international level. The andean group in latin america and waec in west africa are two subregional economic organizations in the developing world. A lot of similarities exist between these two groups. Both have experienced a rapid development during the years following their creation, then they faced institutional crises which led them into functional lethargy. We have identified the sources and reasons of these legal and institutional dysfunctions. After conducting a field survey among officials coping daily local realities and abovementioned dysfunctions, we submit proposals for a better use of legal and institutional resources so as to give a new impetus to the regional integration process

Full textThis study attempts to understand the logic and the rationality of the phenomenon of regional economic integration in Africa. It tries to answer to some fundamental questions such as: why do African countries go into the process of regional economic integration? Who does the integration? Who are the beneficiaries? Our work takes into account the international environment which influences the process of the regional economic integration in Africa. The international system contributes to mold the economic, social and political structures of African countries, which determine the results of different African experiences of regional integration. In this prospect we survey the contradictory movement of integration marginalization of African countries in the world economic, and the international economic crisis. At last, this study attempts also to draw up a balance-sheet of the regional economic integration in Africa through an evaluation of the results of UDEAC and CEAO which are considered as models. On the whole, it appears that the balance-sheet of the regional economic integration in Africa is very slight

Full textThe countries of sub-saharan africa continue to be ravaged by famine inspite of the efforts of the countries of the north and international governmental and non governmental agencies to transfer food aid to them. In front of this serious situation, the countries of the economic community of west africa (ceao) have developed a rhetorical arguments to explain the situation. Factors of population, drought insufficient food aid from the international community, and especially imperialism have been cited at different moments as the causes of famine. The principal limitation of such extraverted arguments is that they ignore the role of the local political actors. Consequently, the food crisis in these states is considered as the result of a combination of political economic and structural constraints flowing from colonial strategies, and implementation since independence of hardly adapted developement plans conceived by foreign advisers. The incoherence of these policies has created a situation necessary for the audacity of the politicians. A comparative analysis of these policies as action systems and especially the case study of the people's republic of benin illustrate clearly a certain nomber of characteristics that explain the origin of famine in africa. The policies praticed since independence and which have developed over time bring into play two types of actors with divergent interest. There is first of all the modernising state that defines the strategies and structures development in the name of a certain ideological scheme. By means of these policies, the state lives-off the peasant. There is on the other hand, the peasant, the producer that is ignored during the process of decision making, and working on a different value system, regards the actions of the state as a means of ideological control. The psychological blockage that results from such a situation reveals the lack of democracy in the structures created by the state. Definitely, the phenomenon of hunger which is the result of a syndrom of inter related causes is not a fatality. It does

Pharmaceutical regulation optimization involves taking into account other reglementary functions not sufficiently regulated and in an active cooperation between both organisations reinforced by African Union intervention. This permits to build an approach including the creation of a west african agency for medecine and the implementation of inovatives sources of funding, whith the ultimate goal to promote access of populations to good quality medecines

Full textWest African states have made economic integration the preferred way to deal with the challenge of economic development in an increasingly competitive international context. Thus, through regional and subregional organizations, the protection of the free movement of competition has become a community issue.West African regional economic integration has therefore been seized by competition law. From this, we note emerging competition rights in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Each of these organizations has therefore put in place a competition law in its economic area. As a result, given the composition of UEMOA and ECOWAS, these Community rights are intended to be applied to the Member States of the Union which are also part of the Community. The features of the coexistence of these Community competition law in West Africa deserved to be examined in order to evaluate their application, to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of these rights. This comparative study intends to highlight the contain of these rights, reveal their specificities, while showing their lacks. It’s necessary to rethink or even reform some aspects of these rights to improve their applications, basis for a better protection of free competition in West Africa

Full textThe international protection of foreign Investments within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) requires establishing the competence of the latter to ensure the security of the property of economic operators who are nationals of third States in its area. Thus, it has been shown that through its instruments for achieving regional integration, this community organization could be led to ensure the security of foreign investments. But, although ECOWAS’s willingness to assume such a function is great, the analysis shows that it has certain shortcomings which are intrinsically linked to the difference in nature between Community law and the Conventional law of investment. In this view, it was urgent to find other supplementary and even complementary instruments in the community protection of foreign investments within the community. These instruments have been localized in General International Law both through its substantive rules as in its procedural mechanics. However, while the protection afforded by ECOWAS law to the properties of foreign investors has been found to be ineffective, that of the international law, on the other hand, seems excessive to the point of being detrimental to host States, as long as it requires leveling. On examination, the observer might have the feeling that there is a tug of war between International law and Community law in securing the assets of foreign economic operators. This observer will then note that the law of the protection of foreigners enters a new era. Indeed, for a long time limited in the bilateral framework between the State of origin and the host States of the investment, the issue of securing foreign investments has acquired such acuity in the economic life of the State entities that it is tends to become a community affair. Finally, i twill be appreciated that, while the purpose of conventional investment law is the protection of foreigners, it may, in some respects, be a stimulus to good governance

Full textThe Bretton Woods’s institutions evoke Asian Newly Industrialized countries’s (NIC) experiment to justify liberal policies lied down to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries. However, in their enforcement, they occult the part of « strategic » protection measures in the success of these countries opening. Within the framework of the setting up of ECOWAS’s Common External Tariff (CET), the question of the role of the protection measures in the insertion of this zone to the world trade arises with acuity. With VAR and VECM models and the Asian NIC’s experiment, we use a cliometric approach and show in three chapters the role of the protection measures in the success of the aforesaid Asia’s countries opening. The first chapter shows that opening is a driving force behind growth and convergence. Nevertheless, it reveals that the poor countries would gain to resort to « strategic » protection measures in their insertion to the world economy. The second chapter shows that the NIC of Asia resorted enormously to « strategic » protection measures. With the developpementalist economists, one notes that government’s presence cannot be regarded as neutral. Finally, the third chapter supports, with CHELEM’s data, that the successful insertion of the Asian’s NIC to the world economy would be explained by their resort to « strategic » protection measures. The test of ELG assumption with VAR and VECM models shows the interest to take account of protection measures in the appreciation of opening’s contribution to growth. On the basis of these elements, we formulate a proposal of policy to ECOWAS’s countries. It hinges on the role that these countries must grant to « strategic » protection measures in the setting up of their CET, in order to open up more effectively to exchanges

Full textComprehensive understanding of the nature of the causal relationship between energy consumption and income that has a significant implication for development policy decisions is crucial. This is particularly true since the lack of access to modern energy services is recognized as a serious hindrance to economic and social development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. By employing both qualitative and quantitative assessment approaches and used primary andsecondary data and information, our dissertation topic addresses the interrelated challenges of energy, development and environmental sustainability. To uncover the temporal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth, we apply recently developed panel unit root and panel cointegration techniques for estimatingthe long-run relationship between GDP and the total energy consumption as well as the electricity andoil price on the one hand and other hand, that of HDI for a subsample ofcountries in sub-Saharan Africa, the ECOWAs. Our conclusion is that the government should make long-run energy consumption policy to lower the effect from economic development to energy consumption through: -improving of energy access, security of supply, while addressing the impacts of Climate Change, by developing Sub-Saharan Africa potential of renewable energy resources (hydro-small, micro, optimization and expansion of electric pool - biomass and solar as well as biofuel…) improving energy efficiency both from demand side management (energy saving in households, businesses and administrations; deployment of energy saving appliances and equipment) and supply side (improve the technical efficiency of enterprises in energy supply)

Full textThe events which shake one and the other the countries of West Africa challenge us. The African west corroded by its regional abscesses presents an extremely complex situation which led many States as well as African organizations to take initiatives in order to find an exit with these problems. In spite of these initiatives, weaknesses of nature's structural, logistic, operational, financial however continue to block the development as of their capacities to face the conflicts in the area; added with this report the absence of a standing army force, from where need for the installation of a new strategy to come to end from the conflicts. The transfer of the forces armed to a level higher than that with national spaces is essential because the conflicts have today a tendency to a propagation and a diffusion out of the national borders. This prospect of total nature to regulate the conflicts is the only viable step if, West Africa wants to leave this swirl of insecurity in which it is. This armed force finds already its bases in the total concept of a mechanism of prevention and management of the conflicts and, its legitimacy within the regional and international organizations. Its creation is possible, but only if the African western countries manage to set up a model of organization and operation adapted while profiting from the co-operation of the Western countries

Africa should wrestle against markets segmentations and built up supranational economic areas. In this aim economical integration, has been set up by western African countries as a way for development, in as the frame of a single markets allows elimination of monopolies. African states involved in this integration process overcome the restricted areas in the view to create a free competition space. Nevertheless, this free competition might be disturbed by anti-competition practices, to be regulated. Coming to a competitive surrounding, main target for West African unions (such as UEMOA and CEDEAO), won't be affordable apart from adopting rules leading to a true competition. Effectiveness of community competition law will be mainly linked to its implementation and its cohesion with the economical frame where is applied the free competition i.e the common market. Western Africa will reach economic development by setting up a competition policy and economical efficient policy. The thesis underlines the necessary interaction between un efficient common market and original competitions policy in western Africa thru legal instruments for building up the markets and competition protection

Since its inception, the organization has observed a clear principle of non-interference in its member-states” internal affairs. But since then, the recrudescence of coups that affected political stability in various member-states and economic development for the sub-region, have led the organization to operate a change in its doctrine and missions. Indifferent to the political regimes of its member-states, and their effect on Human rights protection, ECOWAS has been increasingly involved in conflict prevention and anti- constitutional changes in power. For ECOWAS, coups fall under its mission to promote and preserve sub-regional collective security. Since the 1993 revision of the Lagos Treaty that saw its creation, ECOWAS pays close attention to the inner working of its member-states” institutions, the legality and constitutionality of power transfers as well as the protection of Human rights. This dissertation deals with the instruments developed by the sub-regional organization to prevent and counter anti- constitutional power transfers. It pays attention to the progresses made as well the tools missing from ECOWAS’ legal arsenal. At last, this dissertation offers a set of proposals designed to improve the organization’s capacity to prevent and respond to coups threatening its member- states political stability and the region’s security

Full textIndependence in 1960 placed the United Nations at the center of the debate on development while worldwide a scientific and technical revolution was taking place. Innovation, which was supposed to reduce the technological gap between countries, integrated development issues. At the same time, the UN embraced issues of natural resources exploitation while West Africa was characterized by a dependence on oil and foreign investment. This alchemy led to the emergence of the first solar institutes in Senegal, Mali and Niger, among others. This orientation was confirmed at the Stockholm conference where the idea of an eventual - inappropriate - nuclear development in West Africa was dropped. The States then started creating a regional solar center, alongside private Western companies that carried out the projects and sold their equipement in the region. A new dependency emerged, inciting the West African countries to build an utopian New International Economic Order which happened to be a failure. This led African countries into determining an endogenous, self-centered development based on industrialization. Thus, several States worked on this industrialization of their solar and wind energy sectors, before being caught up by economic difficulties linked to the second oil shock and the global debt crisis. The States then carried their industrial ambitions on a regional scale without them ever seeing the light of day. Setback which, after thirty years of development of new energies, now appears like as many missed opportunities

Full textThis thesis aims at analyzing the nature and scope of attempts at institutionalizing a regional security regime within the framework of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The end of the Cold War and globalization led to changes in the nature of conflicts and modified the parameters for the UN and the Great Powers in the area of peacekeeping. The multiplication of internal and regional conflicts led to the emergence of new security actors who put an end to the monopolization of peacekeeping and security operations by the traditional actors like the UN. From 1990 on, a progressive "securization" of non-military stakes (political, social, economic and environmental issues) took place in West Africa under the auspices of CEDEAO, with the goal of creating a security community. Based on empirical evidence of CEDEAO interventions in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau among others, we analyze why and how the regionalization of peace operations produced transformations, notably the crafting of an integration policy and the reformulation of security stakes in the region. Such reflection leads us to comprehend CEDEAO not only as a region, but also as a security actor in the field of International Relations. Drawing upon diverse approaches (functionalist, constructivist, and realist) we not only explore the regional security regime construction process in an empirical and institutional perspective, but also analyze difficulties, lessons learned and actor strategies in the field of peace operations. Since peacekeeping is traditionally an open field with many competing actors, we also investigate into the coordination of their interventions

Full textFrench local authorities and those of countries of CEMAC and ECOWAS were given under the principle of free administration, new competences to lead actions abroad as a decentralized cooperation. If interstate cooperation allowed to lay the foundations of community law, the decentralized cooperation can help to stimulate and strengthen integration. That such cooperation is intra-European or intra-African, the role played by local authorities is crucial, in spite of the fundamental attributes of states in matter of diplomacy and sovereignty. Inspired design doctrinal and French experiences of decentralized cooperation the territorial francophone African States have the assets to help boost African community integration. However battle for peace, democracy, local development, the right governance and the struggle against poverty always require more efforts at sub-regional level. That’s why, the issue of decentralized cooperation demands responses based on a big complementarity and a synergy between all the actors namely citizens, local powers, traditional authorities, lay people, central powers and community institutions

Full textThe African continent is distinguished by the proliferation of organizations with an integrative vocation. These organizations adopt acts that are binding on the Member States as well as on community structures and which are intended to be applied to individuals. In this context, Community courts are called upon to play a central role in the integration process.It appears, however, that the Community jurisdictions of Africa in general and of West and Central Africa in particular still play a rather unclear role, hence the trampling of the integration process.What factors hinder the full effectiveness of these jurisdictions and what improvements could be made to make them engines of regional integration? To answer these questions we are interested both in the vertical relationship involving jurisdictions, Member States and Community institutions, as well as in the horizontal relationship, that is to say with national courts on the one hand and Community courts on the other. A restructuring as well as a re-reading of the different lines of law are then proposed

Full textThe framework of Geweke (1982, 1984) improved by Chen et al. (2008)is used in this thesis to conduct Granger causality between finance and growth in the context of West Africa. We adopt the time - and frequency- approaches to bring out instantaneous causality and dependence by employing vector autoregressive models. In this work, we propose p-values computations more suitable for small sample size. Empirical investigations examine, successively, causal links between finance and growth, the impact of inflation on these links, and the conditional relationships between growth and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to financial development and economic openness

Full textThe understanding of the tandem of sustainable development and investment treaty has long been seen in terms of contradiction. Indeed, although there is a consensus on the importance of investments as a vehicle for Sustainable Development, the only international instruments specifically dedicated to them [investment treaties] generally pay little or no attention to this objective; they are designed with the sole aim of ensuring high protection for investors and their investments. Over the past decade, however, new models of investment treaties have emerged in African regional organizations with the sole aim of promoting investments that support sustainable development. However, this paradigm shift, which now advocates the compatibility of the legal regime of transnational investment with social and environmental requirements, raises some questions. Among these is the question of how the commitment to sustainable development is concretely reflected in these regional treaties. The issue is crucial, especially when one considers the difficulties surrounding the analysis of Sustainable Development, a concept and objective that is both multidimensional and evolving. In that regard, the study of ECOWAS and SADC instruments reflected the consideration of Sustainable Development at two levels. First, adaptation, through the amendment of the traditional clauses of investment treaties (Part I). Secondly, innovation, through the introduction of provisions which had not previously existed in Treaty practice (Part II)

Full textThis thesis aims to develop a performance assessment methodology of power generation systems based on biomass gasification in a rural area case in developing countries. The general methodological framework of this thesis is described in the approaches as follow: (i) defining performance assessment criteria, (ii) selecting methods or models for assessing the criteria, and (iii) choosing the method of analyzing the reliability of the assessment. Based on this methodological framework, a methodology for the assessment of electricity generation by biomass gasification systems in West Africa is developed. Fourteen assessment criteria are defined by taking in account technical, economic, environmental and social aspects. Models are developed for the calculation of each criterion considered. The models are then applied to carry out a performance assessment of the electricity generation by biomass gasification project in Burkina Faso. Twelve (12) system configurations are studied to satisfy the same load profiles. Simulation results allowed identifying from the point of view of the operator and the consumers the configurations which give better valorization of biomass available with an affordable electricity cost and which offer to operator a relative flexibility to adapt to changes in electricity demand

Full textBenin shares nearly 2000 km of borders with Nigeria, Togo, Niger and Burkina Faso. Cross- border dynamics, which are particulary important, highlight both the irrelevance of hastily- drawn colonial boundaries-barriers and of models of regional integration in West Africa. On the borders of neighbour states, economically, ethnically and culturally homogenous cross- border territories relativize the concept of border-line, without, however, eliminating institutional, administrative and political differences. These “floating” territories, characterized by an “in between” syndrome, have extraordinary potential for integration that could be feth implemented more in a decentralized administrative context. The question is that of strategies and modalities of regional integration in West Africa. The absence of political will cannot suffice to explain the emptiness of integration processes. This dissertation offers perspectives for defining a new matrix in international relations and public policies, in addition to traditional approaches to analyzing regional integration mechanisms in West Africa. The great challenge is to find ways for communities and identities that transcend national borders to flourish in a bottom-up logic, without ethnic fact or autonomous local dynamics being seen as challenging the sovereignty of states and their prerogatives. The deep cultural unity of the region is a fundamental asset for public action. Because it is only rooted in its culture and its history, the African can reinvent for himself a homeland free from national borders. Hence the relevance of cross-border cooperation, an attempt to endogenise integration mechanisms, an attempt to put local development at the service of regional integration. It should characterize a second strategic development of ECOWAS. Created on 28 May 1975 in Lagos, ECOWAS intended to break with colonial balkanization and to provide the region with an integrated economic and social area. As early as 1990, the organization took an overtly political turn with soaring internal conflicts and its peacekeeping interventions. Cross-border cooperation, which is a new concept in West Africa, should give ECOWAS a second hope

Full textThe review of public financial systems of WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union) States has shown that these systems evolved in the contemporary context of the new public financial governance. The concern for transparency, sincerity, responsibility and efficiency, the cardinal principles of the new public financial governance, allowed WAEMU States under the aegis of the Community Commission to renew the normative and institutional basis of their public financial systems. The new standards introduce a public financial management results-oriented with greater stakeholders accountability. They reinforce the budgetary supremacy of the Minister of Finance while investing the budget department of a pioneering programmatic role in budgetary matters and financial control of an evaluation function of public spending. They put into perspective the work of Parliament and the courts of accounts of States that should ensure the efficiency of public spending at the heart of their actions.The implementation of new public financial standards changes the architecture and the budgeting method that moves from a means approach to a results approach. A set of technicality and rigor now surrounds budgeting with programming documents and design mechanisms need more requirements. The mechanisms and management tools for the financial management of the States have also changed. The introduction of managerial responsibility necessitated the implementation of management tools borrowed from the private sector. But the analysis of sociological realities and internal capacities of the States reveals that corruption, not deliberate application of the texts and the qualitative and quantitative shortage of human, material and information resources are blocking the functioning of public financial systems. Similarly, instead of the "tailor" the new standards still seem to be the '' ready to wear '' and do not always reflect the sociological realities of the States. Therefore, this thesis proposes to move from imitation to institutional innovation. She makes endogenous consolidation of public financial systems a condition for success that goes by, among others, the establishment in the States of fiscal biannuality ; MPs profiles, the authorizing committee in the ministries, solidarity accountability of the accountant and of the authorizing, and establishing a moral responsibility through involvement of traditional chiefs and religious denominations discipline financial

Full textGeneral speaking, humans rights are recognized in all cultures in the name of dignity that is attributed to humans. Africa recognize privileges to men to preserve their pride and respect women in their home work. Beyong the domestic sphere, woman have difficulty to get more rights and freedom. The awareness of head of state and governement of the situation, gave some regional rules to protect women rights in the african countries. Our assignment in this study is to devellope theories and practics witch are for or against women right évolution in west Africa, specialy in Ivory Cost and in Mali states where national laws are ambiguous as to women rights protection. We note that women rights changes according to religion convictions, culture, the traditional practice in each country. This situation is also favored by the legislative deficit that need to be repared. It is aloso apparent that women rights promotion and garanted in war situation that Africa states know continualy and in where women and children are the favorit targets. So lets try to find how to integrate women rights protection to african costums
