Full textAbstract:
L'enquête examine le milieu socio-économique d'une communauté rurale afin de déterminer les processus interactifs entre les activités quotidiennes, les conceptions de l'identité culturelle, la dynamique de globalisation et la politique nationale bissauguinéenne. Employant les outils de l'ethnographie, du recensement, de l'entretien, de l'observation participante et une fine analyse de l'histoire locale, la recherche décrit le village de Kassumba du sud de la Guinée Bissau divisé entre les populations nalous, premiers occupants, majoritaires et islamique et les immigrés balantes animistes et s'attache à l'examen de l'appréhension des économies sociales et politiques, et à celui des modifications des stratégies économiques des unités domestiques. L'enquête montre que la coopération économique entre Nalu et Balante jouent un rôle important dans une vie quotidienne confronté aux transformations de l'environnement régional et national. Examiner, comprendre et rendre compte des alternatives potentielles du développement économique est essentiel lorsque l'on constate que les projets de développement ont pour leur majorité rien amélioré de la vie en Afrique. L'ethnographie montre comment les luttes pour le pouvoir, les privilèges et les ressources relèvent du contexte des réalités historiques et politique, et non des différences ethniques ou religieuses comme il est parfois suggéré. L'enquête permet d'établir un modèle démontrant comment la société civile rurale peut s'appuyer sur la diversité économique et comment les programmes alternatifs de développement doivent travailler de l'intérieur. Le texte de cette thèse se veut une contribution à la réflexion politique, à l'histoire locale et à l'ethnographieThis study examines the socio-economic milieu of a rural community in order to observe the unfolding negotiations between everyday activities, conceptions of cultural identity, globalization, and national politics. Through the use of ethnographic methods including surveys, interviews, local histories and participant observation, the researcher describes the southern village of Kassurnba divided between Islamic Nalu landowners and the majority, spiritist Balanta immigrants in order to dernonstrate how they understand their political economy, rneet subsistence needs, and modify household livelihood strategies. This study finds that Nalu and Balanta economic cooperation plays an important role in their daily lives when faced with rapidly changing national, regional, and global environments. Understanding potential avenues of economic growth in the underdeveloped world is relevant, since development projects in Africa for the majority has not improved lifeways and livelihoods. This ethnography illustrates how the struggles over power, privilege, and resources are attributable to contexts of historical realities and political economy, not ethnic or religious difference as sorne have suggested. This study also serves as a model demonstrating how rural civil society can rely on economic diversity and each other as an "alternative" development strategy working primarily from the inside, while being bombarded by political unrest and outside global pressures. This thesis is intended to be a policy paper, local history, and ethnography

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and EconomicsThis project consists of a business plan for a cashew processing factory in Guinea-Bissau. A company will be created to implement the project with the objective to sell whole white cashews to the general cashew market of the Netherland. To do so the company will have to acquire the ISO 22000 certification and fulfill the Dutch importers quality and quantity standards. In the second year the company will either sell the cashews as certified organic products or expand the factory capacity. The financial projections were made and both strategies (enter organic niche market or expand) will result in a positive NPV project with an IRR of 61% and 63% respectively. In terms of long run objectives the company will continue to expand. Besides implementing a sustainable and profitable project this new company will surely have a social-economic impact.

Full textAbstract:
In Guinea-Bissau stehen sich zwei unterschiedliche Bodenrechtssysteme gegenüber: das auf gemeinschaftliche Nutzung ausgerichtete, lokal verankerte "traditionelle" Bodenrecht (Gewohnheitsrecht) und das an Privateigentum orientierte "moderne" staatliche Bodenrecht. Privatbesitz an Grund und Boden war bis in jüngste Zeit kaum ein Konfliktfaktor. Das änderte sich aber recht bald nach der Unabhängigkeit, nachdem die Regierung auf internationalen Druck hin in den 1980er Jahren die Wirtschaft liberalisierte und Tausende von Hektar Land binnen kurzer Zeit in Privateigentum übergingen. Die Dissertation analysiert Vorgeschichte, Verlauf und Bedeutung der Bodenkommerzialisierung für die kleinbäuerliche Ökonomie und rurale Gesellschaft in Guinea-Bissau. Lokale Landrechtsvorstellungen und Landnutzungssysteme sowie die Agrarproduktion in den Untersuchungsregionen Biombo und Gabú werden dargestellt. Die in zwei längeren Forschungsaufenthalten 1997 / 1998 in Guinea-Bissau erhobenen Daten (hauptsächlich Interviews mit ländlicher Bevölkerung, teilnehmende Beobachtung) bestätigen, dass Kleinbauern das Rückgrat afrikanischer Gesellschaften bilden und sie durchaus flexibel und fähig zu Innovationen in bezug auf die Landnutzung und Lösung von Bodenkonflikten sind. In Guinea-Bissau hat die Bodenprivatisierung zu einem Cajuboom geführt. Heute ist das kleine Land weltweit fünfter Cajunussexporteur, doch extrem abhängig von dieser Monokultur. Die negativen Folgen der Bodenkommerzialisierung für die kleinbäuerliche Landwirtschaft und ihre Sozialstruktur überwiegen. Die komplizierte Landbetitelung und die Verteidigungsstrategien der Kleinbauern gegen die neuen Grundbesitzer, die Ponteiros, werden genauer untersucht. Schliesslich analysiert der Verfasser die im Zuge massiver Bodenprivatisierung entstandenen Landkonflikte und präsentiert einige Vorschläge für alternative Landbetitelungssysteme, die sowohl das „traditionelle“ wie auch das „moderne“ Bodenrecht berücksichtigen.Two different legal systems of land rights face each other in Guinea-Bissau: a) the locally based “traditional” land rights (customary law) which are orientated on common land use and b) the private property-oriented “modern” state land laws. Private ownership of land until recently was hardly a conflict factor. However, that changed soon after independence, when the government liberalized the economy due to international pressure and thousands of hectares of land passed over to private ownership within a short time frame. This thesis analyzes the historical background, the process and the importance of individual land tenure (private ownership) for the rural economy and society in Guinea-Bissau. The author presents local land tenure conceptions’, land use systems and the agricultural production in two regions, Biombo and Gabú. The data (mainly interviews with rural population, participant observation) of two extended research stays 1997 / 1998 confirm that small farmers are the backbone of African societies and that they are quite flexible and able to innovation with respect to land use and the resolution of land conflicts. The individualization of land tenure has led to a boom in cashew tree cultivation. Today Guinea-Bissau is the world’s fifth largest exporter of cashew nuts, but also extremely dependent on this monoculture. The negative consequences of private land tenure on the smallholder agriculture and social rural structures prevail, because often land is acquired for speculative interests, bank security etc. The complicated titling of individual land property and the defence strategies of small farmers against the new landowners, the Ponteiros, are discussed in depth. Finally the land conflicts that result from the massive land privatisation are analyzed and the author elaborates possible alternative arrangements to the current titling of land properties, considering both the “traditional” and the “modern” land tenure system alike.

Full textAbstract:
In Guinea Bissau, one of the third most underdeveloped countries, there are many areas that are hard to reach by any other kind of vehicles than motorcycles – cars struggle with the poor road conditions. This means that many smaller communities, that are at a considerable distance from a larger road or city, become isolated and vulnerable. When the water pumps break down, one of the main issues in the repair process is that the pump mechanics simply struggle to transport their tools and spare parts to these areas. The consequence is that the water pumps are left broken and out of use and people go back to using the water holes instead, where the water normally is of significantly worse quality and often contaminated. This leads to sickness, diseases and loss of workforce in the entire country. This project aims to develop a prototype of a monotrailer that can be used by the pumpmechanics in Guinea Bissau. A monotrailer is a transport vehicle which is attached behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles have very limited loading options, but with a monotrailer the possibilities can be extended. The road conditions are rough, the area of usage is hard to define and the manufacturing possibilities are limited. Given this, the challenges of this project is to develop the monotrailer in a way that it can be manufactured on site and fulfil its purpose. The project has been carried out in both Stockholm aa well as in Guinea Bissau and is acooperation between KTH and Unicef Wash Section.I Guinea Bissau, som är ett av världens tredje mest underutvecklade länder, finns många landområden som är svåra att nå med något annat fordon än motorcyklar – vägarna är så undermåliga att bilar har stora svårigheter att ta sig fram. Det innebär att många mindre samhällen och byar som ligger på betydande avstånd från en större väg eller stad, blir isolerade och lätt hamnar i en sårbar position. När vattenpumpar i byarna går sönder, har det visat sig att ett av de största problemen kring reparationsprocessen är att pumpmekanikerna helt enkelt har svårt att transportera sina verktyg och reservdelar till dessa platser. Påföljden blir att vattenpumparna står oanvända och befolkningen återgår till att hämta vatten i vattenbrunnarna, där vattnet är av betydligt sämre kvalitet och ofta kontaminerat. Detta ledertill ohälsa, sjukdomar och bortfall av arbetskraft i hela landet. Detta projekt syftar till att utveckla en prototyp av en monotrailer för bruk av pumpmekaniker i Guinea Bissau. En monotrailer är ett transportfordon som fästs bakom en motorcykel. Motorcyklar har väldigt begränsade lastmöjligheter och med en monotrailer kan dessa utökas. Vägförhållandena är tuffa, användningsområdet för monotrailern är svårt att definiera och tillverkningmöjligheterna är begränsade. Givet detta, ligger därför utmaningen i detta projekt att utveckla monotrailern så att den går att tillverka på plats och fyller sitt syfte. Projektet har utförts både i Stockholm och på plats i Guinea Bissau och är ett samarbetemellan KTH och Unicef Wash Section.

Full textAbstract:
Studying people and wild animals based only on their strict and present-day interactions is not enough to develop a comprehensive understanding of social constructions of animal species. People encounter other species (and other people) from within particular historical, social, ecological and economic settings. In 13 months of fieldwork, I adopted a multi-disciplinary perspective, using qualitative ethnographic tools alongside quantitative ecological and interviewing approaches to seek for an in-depth understanding that provides access to multiple views about nature and nature conservation. In southern Guinea-Bissau, space and its history, magic and religion, changes in the landscape and environment, local livelihoods and trade, as well as local relations of power for accessing resources, all shape the social and cosmological terrain of the interactions between people and other living and non-living things. On the one hand, magical territories, the role animal figures play in witchcraft, local knowledge and its management, all portray nature as part of society, both as an element and an actor in society. On the other hand, when nature conservation initiatives based on fines and fences are emphasised, the social appropriation of nature envisions people and nature as separate, even antagonistic entities that negotiate each other’s existence. Land is the most important component of livelihoods as it is tightly connected to labour allocation and knowledge exchange. Therefore, by constraining people’s access to land, nature conservation policies are largely seen as affecting local people’s ability to secure their livelihoods. Consequently, constraints and benefits bestowed by conservation are negotiated locally through complex mechanisms of storytelling, witchcraft, meetings, and protests. These all play a role in challenging standing agreements, as well as expressing social tension and marking out morality. The chimpanzee, the flagship species of Cantanhez National Park, appears as a multi-faceted character capable of shape-shifting into various forms and signifiers that challenge existing power asymmetries, including those inherent within local nature conservation.

Full textAbstract:
In Guinea-Bissau (GB) the Guinea baboon (Papio hamadryas papio) is threatened by hunting pressure. Along with local extinctions, these practices may be inducing long-term genetic changes and disrupting underlying social structure. In this study, the bushmeat trade in GB was evaluated for the first time and the effect of hunting practices on the genetic diversity and population structure was investigated. By following the bushmeat trade at urban markets, we found baboons to be the third most traded primate species. Male baboon carcasses were sold at a price 60% higher than any other primate due to their larger body mass. Semi-structured interviews conducted with hunters revealed a preference towards male baboons and recent difficulty in finding this primates species. Non-invasive DNA sampling in southern GB and two different genetic markers (fourteen microsatellite loci and a fragment of the mitochondrial control region) suggested substantial levels of genetic diversity and recent genetic contact between different populations. However, geographic distances had a weak effect on population structure and the genetic discontinuities found were not related with landscape features. A contact zone was identified. Here, gene flow seems to be unidirectional and admixed individuals were in higher proportion. Hunting pressure may have induced recent contact between genetically differentiated individuals, which now co-exist in the same social unit. Additionally, the sex-specific patterns of gene flow and the composition of social units were compared with a non-hunted Guinea baboon population, using a molecular sex determination protocol and thirteen microsatellite loci. GB displayed a lower ratio of males within social units, which are formed in some cases by unrelated individuals. The clear female-biased dispersal pattern displayed in Senegal was less intense in GB, where gene flow seems to be mediated through both sexes. The aforementioned contact zone resulted from male immigration. Male baboon dispersal in GB could be the result of flight behaviour or a consequence of an altered sex ratio induced by hunting practices. The GB baboons displayed signs of a disrupted population and its future conservation requires specific actions to reduce or eliminate this activity.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study aims to approach illicit market activity, particularly transnational organ-ised crime, from a political-economy point of view. The study of illicit market activity is characterised by various and often ambiguous concepts and approaches. The benefits of a political-economy approach include the provision of an alternative view of the illicit, combin-ing aspects from these various approaches. The study of the Global Political Economy (GPE) examines the relationship between authority, mostly in the form of states, and markets. This thesis looks at the relationship between the state and illicit markets. It does so by using the concept Illicit Global Political Economy (IGPE), which is defined as concerning the social, political and economic arrangements affecting the global systems of illicit production, ex-change and distribution, and the mix of values reflected therein. States, illicit markets and criminal actors are considered here as interdependent and interrelated parts of the IGPE spe-cifically, and the overall GPE. Within this relationship several „roles‟ of the state are identi-fied: the state as a creator and regulator of the illicit, through its legislative and executive au-thorities; the state as a locale of the illicit, as home, host, transhipment or service state for transnational criminal activities; the state as a victim of the illicit, for example, through the inherent nature of crime denying the state´s jurisdiction over its territory and also through the use of violence or corruption by criminals; and the state as a facilitator for illicit activity, meaning that certain characteristics of states can enable illicit activity. This thesis is primarily concerned with the last role of the state. It is argued that certain characteristics of states, par-ticularly weak and transitional states, enable the state´s exploitation by criminal actors. In the framework provided by Phil Williams (2002) seven of these characteristics are referred to as capacity gaps, which can result in functional holes, possibly enabling illicit activity. The pri-mary research question of this thesis is, consequently: Is the role of the state as a facilitator in the IGPE enabled by the existence of capacity gaps and functional holes? The West African state of Guinea-Bissau has been chosen as a case study for its role as a transhipment state in the global cocaine trade. In the first part of the analytical process of this thesis, the global cocaine trade and its historical development are described and analysed for the social, political and economic arrangements affecting it. This highlights the im-portance of taking into account these arrangements for a full understanding of the illicit. Addi-tionally, an analysis of the political-economy of Guinea-Bissau provides the necessary back-ground for understanding the second part of this thesis´ approach. Here, the state of Guinea-Bissau is examined firstly for the existence of capacity gaps and functional holes. If they are found to exist, whether and how they are being used by cocaine traffickers is examined. It was found that six out of seven capacity gaps exist in Guinea-Bissau, most of which are being used by the cocaine traffickers. The involvement of the military in the drug trade in combina-tion with its apparent extra-judicial standing is found to be of particular importance for the cocaine traffickers. This analysis allows for the research question to be answered positively. Moreover, the thesis can be considered to generally affirm the usefulness of a political-economy approach to analysing the illicit and affirms specifically the usefulness of the con-cept of the IGPE.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingstudie poog om onwettige markaktiwiteite, spesifiek transnasionale georganiseerde misdaad, uit 'n politiek-ekonomiese standpunt te benader. Die studie van die onwettige word gekarakteriseer deur verskeie en dikwels dubbelsinnige konsepte en benaderings. Die voordele van 'n politiek-ekonomiese benadering sluit die voorsiening van 'n alternatiewe beskouing van die onwettige dus 'n kombinasie van aspekte van die verskillende benaderings. Die studie van Globale Politieke Ekonomie (GPE) fokus op die verhouding tussen gesag, meestal in die vorm van die state en markte. Hierdie tesis fokus op die verhouding tussen die staat en onwettige markte. Dit word gedoen deur gebruik te maak van die konsep Onwettige Globale Politieke Ekonomie (OGPE), wat gedefinieer kan word as die sosiale, politieke en ekonomiese reëlings wat die globale sisteem van onwettige produksie, wisseling en dustribusie affekteer, en die vermenging van waardes wat daardeur gereflekteer word. State, markte en kriminele akteurs word hier beskou as afhanklike en onderliggende dele van die OGPE, spesifiek, en die algehele GPE. Binne hierdie verhouding kan daar verskeie „rolle‟ van die staat geïdentifiseer word: die staat as skepper en reguleerder van die onwettige deur die wetgewende en uitvoerende gesag; die staat as lokaliteit van die onwettige, as tuiste, gasheer, oorskeping of diens staat vir transnasionale georganiseerde misdaadaktiwiteite; die staat as slagoffer van die onwettige, byvoorbeeld deur die inherente natuur van misdaad wat die staat se jurisdiksie oor sy grense ontneem asook deur die gebruik van geweld of korrupsie deur kriminele; en die staat as fasiliteerder vir onwettige aktiwiteite, wat beteken dat sekere eienskappe van die staat onwettige aktiwiteite moontlik maak. Hierdie tesis fokus spesifiek op laasgenoemde rol van die staat. Daar word geargumenteer dat sekere eienskappe van state, meer spesifiek swak en oorgangstate, dit makliker maak vir kriminele akteurs om die staat uit te buit. In die raamwerk wat voorgestel word deur Phil Williams (2002) word daar sewe van hierdie eienskappe geïdentifiseer en verwys na as kapasiteitsopeninge wat funksionele gapings kan veroorsaak, en so onwettinge aktiwiteite moontlik maak. Die primêre navorsingsvraag van hierdie tesis is gevolglik: Word die rol van die staat as fasiliteerder in die OGPE moontlik gemaak deur die teenwoordigheid van kapasiteitsopeninge en funksionele gapings? Die Wes-Afrika staat Guinee-Bissau dien as gevallestudie vir sy rol as oorskeep staat in globale handel in kokaïen. In die eerste gedeelte van die analitiese proses van hierdie tesis, word globale handel in kokaïen en die historiese ontwikkeling daarvan beskryf en geanaliseer vir die sosiale, politieke en ekonomiese reëlings wat ‟n impak daarop het. Dit bring die belangrikheid van die inagneming van hierdie reëlings, indien die onwettige verstaan wil word, na vore. 'n Addisonele analiese van die politieke ekonomie van Guinee-Bissau verskaf die nodige agtergrond- informasie om die tweede gedeelte van hierdie tesis se benadering te verstaan. Hier die staat Guinee-Bissau word eerstens ondersoek vir die teenwoordigheid van kapasiteitsopeninge en funksionele gapings, en tweedens hoe dit gebruik word deur kokaïen smokkelaars. Die studie vind dat ses vanuit die sewe kapasiteitsopeninge wel in Guinee-Bissau voorkom en gebruik word deur smokkelaars. Die wederregtelike rol van die landmag, wat gewoonlik die smokkelaars ondersteun, is vir die smokkelaars baie belangrik. Hierdie analiese laat dit toe dat die navorsingsvraag positief beantwoord word. Verder, in hierdie tesis word die bruikbaarheid van 'n politiek-ekonomiese aanslag tot die onwettige en die spesifieke teoretiese fondasies daarvan bevestig.

Mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Cooperação InternacionalA dissertação pretende abordar a temática do Papel da Mulher no Microcrédito na Guiné-Bissau: É uma vantagem esta ser a figura central neste processo? Mais de metade da população guineense é composta por mulheres, que desempenham um papel fundamental na tradição familiar. As mulheres são responsáveis pela família e gestão da casa, educação dos filhos e muitas vezes executoras de actividades económicas tais como a agricultura ou a pesca. São simultaneamente agentes de educação e agentes económicos. No entanto, as mulheres representam um grupo muito fragilizado, mais vulnerável e propenso à pobreza, pelo que são necessárias medidas para diminuir essa realidade e torná-las agentes económicos e com poder social. Assim o principal objectivo desta dissertação é mostrar como o papel da mulher é fulcral numa das medidas a ser implementadas para essa mudança, que é o processo de atribuição de microcréditos às comunidades com menos acessos a recursos, na Guiné-Bissau. Demonstrando as funções e os papéis sociais da mulher no processo de microcrédito, será possível entender a vantagem da mesma no sucesso deste sistema.
This dissertation aims to address of the Role of Women with regards to Microcredit in Guinea-Bissau. Questioning whether it is advantageous to be the central figure within this process? More than half of the Guinean population consists of women, who play a key role in the family tradition. Women are responsible for the management of both family and home, educating their children and often executing economic activities such as agriculture or fishing. They are both educational and economical agents. However, women represent a very fragile, vulnerable part of the population. Political policies are needed to assist women to take their rightful place with society, both economically and socially. Thus the main objective of dissertation is to show how the role of women is one of the key measures to be implemented for this change, by allocating microcredits to communities with less access to various resources in Guinea-Bissau. Demonstrating the functions and roles of women in micro processes, we can understand the advantage of providing women with much needed capital to enhance both themselves and their respective communities.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the establishment, breakdown and re-establishment of political order in Guinea-Bissau by examining the evolution of the shape and character of its political elite bargains from independence to the outbreak of the civil war in 1998. While there are a variety of scholarly approaches that focus on the structural conditions under which violent conflict is prone to erupt in underdeveloped countries, this thesis adopts an interactional approach to better appreciate how Guinea-Bissau's political elite bargains have evolved and how these developments explain the outbreak of conflict at a given time. It takes off from and develops North et al's (2009) framework on limited access orders and the Crisis State Research Centre's approach to state fragility and resilience and contributes to the study of political elite bargains by proposing that a social boundary analysis is central for assessing degrees of a bargain's inclusivity/exclusivity and for better understanding what lead to changes in the bargains shape and character. It suggests that as relationships are both the 'glue' and the 'scissors' underpinning every elite bargain, the analysis of their evolution is key to problems of order and disorder. Applying this method of analysis, it provides a detailed examination of how elite relationships in Guinea-Bissau have changed over time based upon extensive documental research and interviewing with key actors and informants. It explains which, why and how different political identities have emerged, gained and decreased in political relevance, and how their interactions have shaped subsequent interaction and produced political change.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to explore how some of the findings from behavioural economics and the social capital literature can apply in the case of electricity access in developing countries with a focus on solar off-grid electrification. And specifically on solar home systems and solar hybrid mini-grid electrification in rural Guinea-Bissau. Specifically, I am drawing from studies looking at the role of discounting anomalies on technology adoption and recurring payments, the role of trust on technology adoption and the role of computational limitations and the use of simplification strategies on the accuracy of frequency and expenditure reporting in surveys. This exercise aims to inform electrification policy in developing countries, demonstrate instances where insights from behavioural economics and social capital can enrich our understanding of the underlying barriers and drivers of electrification access, but also demonstrate how some selected case studies can help to strengthen empirical findings from other contexts. Chapter 1 provides an introduction on the issues surrounding electrification access in developing countries and introduces the research motivation and the research objectives of this thesis. This chapter also discusses the relevant gaps in the literature, how this thesis attempts to address them and the contribution to knowledge. Finally, the research location is introduced. Chapter 2 presents the results of a stated preference study that uses a choice experiment to estimate willingness to pay for a solar home system, and the trade-off between different repayment schemes and maintenance responsibilities, in the region of Bafatá in Guinea-Bissau. Results suggest that preferences are driven both by income constraints as well as self-control problems, excessive discounting and self-reported trust for a number of actors. Chapter 3 explores the main determinants in the decision to connect to a solar hybrid mini-grid, in the semi-urban community of Bambadinca in Guinea-Bissau, with a focus on social capital as expressed in trust. Connections are driven largely by the socio-economic background of the households and prior energy use patterns. However, there is evidence that social capital as expressed in self-reported trust for one’s neighbours, also has a positive effect on connections through facilitating the informal expansion of the grid, whereby households use their neighbours’ infrastructure to connect to the service. Chapter 4 explores how the technology of prepaid meters can help researchers acquire more insight regarding the accuracy of survey responses and the response strategies used. More specifically, this chapter tests the accuracy of reported energy expenditure in surveys, when using differently defined recall periods, namely a ‘usual’ week versus a ‘specific’ (i.e. last) week. We compare real expenditure data for prepaid meters for electricity, from a solar hybrid mini-grid operating in the semi-urban community of Bambadinca in Guinea-Bissau, with answers from a survey where respondents are asked to state their expenditures, randomly, in different recall periods. Overall, our results show that respondents tend to over-report the level and frequency of their energy expenditures, but reporting is more accurate when the ‘specific’ period rather than when the ‘usual’ period is used. Chapter 5 investigates the role of self-control problems on prepayment patterns for electricity provided by a solar hybrid mini-grid installed in the semi-urban community of Bambadinca in Guinea-Bissau. Prepayment patterns are found to be mostly driven by income constraints and equipment in use however there is evidence that individuals with self-control problems as well as individuals being charged with an additional time-varying tariff (a higher tariff between 7pm to 12am) resort to smaller refill levels possibly as a strategy to consume less electricity at home. Chapter 6 provides concluding remarks.

Full textAbstract:
Nas últimas décadas assistimos a um avanço dos estudos feministas, que têm trazido importantes contributos para garantir a integração e igualdade de género nas várias áreas, revelando ser uma corrente inovadora por completar e dinamizar a análise, estudo e compreensão da questão de género em especial relativamente à paz e aos conflitos. Até há pouco tempo, os assuntos relacionados com as Mulheres e a Paz não eram temas prioritários e nem eram motivos de discussão da política internacional permitindo que durante anos fossem cometidas atrocidades contra as mulheres, sem que a Comunidade Internacional desse por isso. Atualmente, as mulheres começaram a assumir um papel mais influente nos processos de reconstrução da paz.
Esta evolução tem vindo a ser acompanhada por várias iniciativas e contributos a nível internacional, mediante a elaboração de importantes documentos e promoção de fóruns de debate e sensibilização da sociedade global, como é o caso da Resolução 1325 publicada pelo Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas, em 2000. Todos estes processos têm vindo a revelar a importância da promoção da igualdade de género em todas as fases dos processos de (re)construção da paz e da promoção da segurança, incluindo em países como a Guiné-Bissau; ABSTRACT:
“The role of women in the peacekeeping processes. The case of Guinea-Bissau”
In the last few decades we have witnessed a breakthrough of feminist studies, which have brought relevant contributions to ensure integration (of women to the politics discussion) and gender equality in various areas, what revealed to be an innovative and dynamic chain to improve the analysis, study and comprehension of the gender matters particularly peace vs. conflict subjects (issues). Until this and for many years, issues related to Women and Peace were not a priority and weren’t grounds for discussion of international politics which allowed that all the atrocities committed against women remain covered to the eyes and judgement of the International community. From the last few years to now on we can observe how women start to play a more influential and active role in what concern to the development of peacemaking (and peacekeeping) processes.
Such evolution has been motivated by different worldwide initiatives and contributions, followed by the development of important documents, promotion of discussions and the awareness of global society forums, such as the 1325 resolution, published by the Security Council of the United Nations in 2000. All these actions (processes) revealed the importance of promoting gender equality in all phases of the (re)construction of peace and the improvement of women rights and safety, including in countries such as Guinea-Bissau.

Full textAbstract:
The maternal and paternal genetic profile of Guineans is markedly sub-Saharan West African, with the majority of lineages belonging to L0-L3 mtDNA sub-clusters and E3a-M2 and E1-M33 Y chromosome haplogroups. Despite the sociocultural differences among Guinea-Bissau ethnic groups,marked by the supposedly strict admixture barriers, their genetic pool remains largely common. Their
extant variation coalesces at distinct timeframes, from the initial occupation of the area to later inputs of people. Signs of recent expansion in mtDNA haplogroups L2a-L2c and NRY E3a-M2 suggest population growth in the equatorial western fringe, possibly supported by an early local agricultural
centre, and to which the Mandenka and the Balanta people may relate. Non-West African signatures are traceable in less frequent extant haplogroups, fitting well with the linguistic and historical evidence
regarding particular ethnic groups: the Papel and Felupe-Djola people retain traces of their putative East African relatives; U6 and M1b among Guinea-Bissau Bak-speakers indicate partial diffusion to Sahel of North African lineages; U5b1b lineages in Fulbe and Papel represent a link to North African
Berbers, emphasizing the great importance of post-glacial expansions; exact matches of R1b-P25 and E3b1-M78 with Europeans likely trace back to the times of the slave trade.Orientadores: António Brehm e Richard Villems

Full textAbstract:
This thesis tested hypotheses related to the dispersal, behaviour patterns and response to forest fragmentation of two endangered colobus monkey species living in sympatry in Cantanhez National Park, Guinea Bissau. Western black-and-white colobus (BWC: Colobus polykomos) and Temminck’s red colobus (TRC: Procolobus badius temminckii) are two forest dwelling primates that share most of their ecological requirements but exhibit contrasting social systems, namely in dispersal, group size and social organization. By combining behavioural data obtained for one social group of each species and non-invasive genetic data (15 microsatellite loci and a fragment of the mitochondrial control region) from eight black and white colobus and six red colobus social groups, I examined: i) historical and current dispersal patterns; ii) the within-group distribution of social interactions among males and females, and iii) the effect of forest fragmentation on genetic structure. I found evidence for historical and/or long-range dispersal via males in BWC and via females in TRC. However, a change in the current dispersal pattern was detected for BWC, as both sexes seem to be dispersing. Behavioural analysis showed that TRC females exhibit stronger social bonding than BWC females. More interestingly, and contrary to what was described for the species, TRC females seemed to prefer to engage in grooming other females rather than males and males only rarely groomed other males. Finally, analysis of genetic structure indicates the existence of only one genetic unit for each species, although some fine-scale spatial genetic structure was found for TRC. Whereas BWC seemed to be able to use the available forest corridors to disperse between forest patches, TRC females tend to disperse to immediately adjacent groups showing some constraint in the ability to disperse throughout the park. I hypothesise that the detected changes in dispersal mode in BWC and social dynamics in TRC may constitute behavioural local responses to habitat degradation. Constraints in dispersal found for TRC support the evidence that forest fragmentation should be playing an important role shaping these colobus monkey social systems.

Dissertação de Doutoramento em Ciências Sociais na especialidade de AntropologiaEmbora as áreas protegidas tenham vários objetivos, estas foram criadas sobretudo para a proteção da biodiversidade. Esta tese foi concebida no sentido de explorar as ligações desenvolvidas entre as comunidades humanas locais, a floresta e os outros animais, em particular os primatas não-humanos (PNH). Com este estudo pretendeu-se: a) compreender as relações entre a utilização dos recursos naturais, as áreas protegidas e as atitudes das comunidades locais; b) identificar problemas para a conservação da biodiversidade; e, c) sugerir potenciais soluções. Assim, o estudo das percepções e atitudes dos Beafada - maior grupo étnico no PNLC (77,4%) - e Balanta - o segundo (8,7%) – foi importante para se perceber a forma como os recursos naturais são gerenciados, assim como os hábitos de caça das comunidades locais. Neste estudo foram utilizadas quatro técnicas metodológicas: (a) inquéritos por questionário; (b) inquéritos por entrevista (em profundidade); (c) grupos focais; e, (d) observação não-participante. O período de recolha dos dados foi dividido em três fases distintas durante 6 meses. Uma vez que a caça e o comércio de animais selvagens representam sérios problemas para a conservação da vida selvagem no PNLC, esta tese pretende contribuir para a melhoria das medidas de conservação dos PNH existentes no Parque.
Abstract Although protected areas have several goals, these areas were created mainly to protect biodiversity. This thesis was designed to explore the links developed between local human communities, the forest and other animals, in particular non-human primates (NHP). With this thesis I intended to: a) understand relationships between resource use, protected areas and local people’s attitudes; b) identify problems for biodiversity conservation; and, c) to suggest potential solutions. Thus, the study of the perceptions and attitudes of the Beafada community – the major ethnic group present in the LCNP (77,4%) – and the Balanta – the second one (8,7%) - was important to understand how these can interfere or dictate the way natural resources are managed by local communities as well as their NHP hunting and bushmeat practices. Data collection used four different methodological techniques consisting of: (a) survey questionnaires; (b) in-depth interviews; (c) focus-groups; and, (d) non-participant observation. The study period was divided in three distinctive stages during a total of 6 months. Since hunting and bushmeat trade represent major problems for wildlife conservation in LCNP, this thesis hopes to contribute to an improvement of the conservation measures regarding NHP’s preservation.

Full textAbstract:
CNPqO presente texto visa apresentar o delineamento de uma pesquisa de campo exploratória vinculada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento Regional, da UTFPR Câmpus Pato Branco. A pesquisa tem como foco de análise a educação superior no desenvolvimento da Guiné-Bissau – suas contribuições, limites e desafios. A educação formal na Guiné Bissau começou durante a colonização portuguesa, 1446 -1974, contudo, um número muito ínfimo dos guineenses tinha acesso à escola, por conta da política adoptada pelo colonizador que era “adormecer” quanto possível os nativos para não darem conta da exploração que o país estava sofrendo. A situação colonial não criou oportunidades de o país poder desenvolver um ensino de qualidade para todos, porque à boa parte dos guineenses era negado o acesso àquele que é considerado um valor fundamental na sociedade humana. O país colonizador pouco investiu na educação da população, em relação a outros países como Inglaterra, França nas suas colônias como Gambia e Senegal, respectivamente. Trata-se de estudo com abordagem qualitativa, uma vez que estudos dessa natureza revelam uma relação dinâmica entre o mundo real e o sujeito, isto é, um vínculo indissociável entre o mundo objetivo e a subjetividade do sujeito que não pode ser traduzida em números. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, exploratória, envolvendo doze instituições da Guiné-Bissau, sendo: oito de Educação Superior, dois ministérios e dois institutos nacionais de pesquisa. A amostragem envolveu dirigentes e ministros das instituições nominadas. A coleta de dados ocorreu por intermédio de: roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado com dirigentes e ministros das instituições nominadas; documentos oficiais das universidades: projeto pedagógico, cursos, pesquisa, extensão, recursos humanos, estrutura administrativa, dentre outros; documentos oficiais dos ministérios: Plano Nacional de Educação para Todos, Segundo Documento de Estratégia Nacional de Redução da Pobreza (DENARP II), Projeto de Apoio de Ensino Superior nos Países da União Econômica Monetária Oeste Africana (UEMOA), dentre outros; banco de dados do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa. Os resultados demonstram que as principais contribuições da educação superior para a Guiné-Bissau consistem em maior número de cidadãos com formação superior, maior número de funcionários preparados para o bom desempenho laboral, administração pública eficaz e eficiente, maior produtividade econômica nacional e diminuição da pobreza. No entanto, há muitos limites para o desenvolvimento do país e da educação superior, dentre eles: o início tardio e ainda incipiente da educação superior na Guiné-Bissau, à falta de qualificação de docentes e a infraestrutura, necessária para tal, o parco Orçamento Geral de Estado para a educação, uma vez que o país tem sido considerado um dos que muito pouco investe na educação comparando com países dessa região africana. A atual conjuntura global faz com que todos os países adotem políticas públicas voltadas ao desenvolvimento. E a educação superior deve ser um desafio premente dos países para a concretização do desenvolvimento almejado por todos. Dentre as oportunidades para a Guiné-Bissau em relação à mobilidade de alunos e docentes, estão os acordos educacionais com países como Portugal, Cuba, Rússia, Senegal, China, Brasil.
This paper aims to present the design of an exploratory field research linked to the Graduate Program in Regional Development, of UTFPR Pato Branco Campus, near its conclusion. The research has as analysis focus the higher education in the development of Guinea-Bissau - its contributions, limitations and challenges. Formal education in Guinea-Bissau began during the Portuguese colonization, 1446 -1974, however, a very tiny number of Guineans had access to school because of the policy adopted by the colonizer which was "asleep" as possible the natives not to make them realize the exploration that the country was suffering. The colonial situation did not create opportunities for the country to be able to develop a qualified education for everybody, because for most of Guineans were denied the access to what is regarded as a fundamental value in human society. The colonizer Country invested just a little in the education for the population, in relation to other countries like England, France in its colonies as Gambia and Senegal, respectively. It is a qualitative study, since these studies reveal a dynamic relationship between the real world and the subject, that is, an indissoluble link between the objective world and the subjectivity of the subject that cannot be translated into numbers. For this, we conducted a field research, exploratory one, involving twelve institutions of Guinea-Bissau, as follows: eight from the Higher Education, two ministries and two survey national institution. The sampling involved leaders and ministers from the nominated institutions. Data collection occurred through: semi structured interview guide with leaders and ministers from the nominated institutions, official documents of the universities: pedagogical project, courses, research, extension, human resources, administrative structure, among others; official documents of the ministries: National Plan of Education for Everybody, Second Document of National Strategy of Poverty Reduction (DENARP II), Support Project for Higher Education in the Countries of the West African Economic Monetary Union (UEMOA), among others; database of the Research National Institute. The results show that the main contributions of higher education to Guinea-Bissau consist of, greater number of citizens with higher education, higher number of trained staff for good work performance, effective and efficient public administration, higher economic national productivity and poverty decrease. However, there are many limits to the higher education’s and country's development, among them: the late and incipient beginning of the higher education in Guinea-Bissau, the lack of qualified teachers and infrastructure, necessary for that, the meager General Budget of the State for education, since the country has been considered one of which invest just a little in education compared with countries in our African region. The current global situation makes all the countries adopt public policies for the development. And higher education should be a pressing challenge of the countries to achieve the development pursued by all. Among the opportunities for Guinea-Bissau in relation to the mobility of students and teachers, there are the educational agreements with countries such as Portugal, Cuba, Russia, Senegal, China, Brazil.

Projeções dos eventos severos/extremos relacionados às mudanças climáticas têm sido cada vez mais socialmente debatidas e servido de subsídio para a intensificação das discussões e compromissos multilaterais no âmbito das Conferências das Partes (COPs). Como desdobramento disso, aumenta o número de países que, ao nível nacional, se dedicam à construção de políticas públicas para lidar preparativamente com os eventos projetados, os quais, em muitos casos, já estão ocorrendo. Inseridos de forma subordinada no âmbito dessas discussões multilaterais estão os países denominados pelas Nações Unidas como \"Menos Avançados\", assim classificados por possuírem limitadas capacidades institucionais para diagnosticar e lidar com essas situações adversas. Tais países têm sido contemplados por meio de diferentes programas com fundos ambientais para auxiliá-los na elaboração e implementação de seus respectivos Planos Nacionais de Adaptação às Mudanças do Clima (PANA/NAPA, este último na sua sigla em inglês). O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a dimensão sociopolítica da construção do Plano Nacional de Adaptação às Mudanças do Clima (PANA) da Guiné-Bissau. Através de uma perspectiva sociológica, problematizamos aspectos da lógica operativa, de caráter sociopolítico, através dos quais o Estado guineense se constitui e estabelece sua interlocução, de um lado, na arena multilateral de COPs e, de outro, junto aos seus povos constituintes quando estes vivenciam os desastres ditos \"naturais\". Tendo como base o processo histórico que forjou um Estado nacional socialmente excludente, fez-se uma análise transescalar de três níveis das relações de poder, a saber: o que considera a posição do Estado guineense frente às forças multilaterais de desenvolvimento e do ambiente; o que demarca as características da interação do Estado com as ONGs e demais parceiros que auxiliam na consecução das políticas socioambientais; e, por fim, o nível local, onde as comunidades sofrem os reflexos e as injunções dos níveis superiores por meio de embates e alianças. Para a realização da pesquisa, adotamos três procedimentos qualitativos básicos, a saber: um levantamento bibliográfico, um levantamento documental e a pesquisa de campo.Prognostics of severe and extreme events related to climate change have been increasingly socially debated and supported the multilateral discussions and commitments in UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties (COPs). Subsequently, it has increased the number of countries that, on national level, dedicate themselves to the task of building public policies to cope with the predicted events, which are often considered to be already in course. In the multilateral discussions, inserted, but in a subordinate way, are the \"Least Developed Countries\", as denominated by the United Nations, so classified for having limited institutional capacity to diagnose and manage adverse conditions. Such countries have been granted with environmental support from different programs to assist in the preparation and implementation of the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA). This study has the objective of analysing the socio-political dimension of the construction of the National Adaptation Programme of Action of Guinea-Bissau. From a sociological perspective, it is discussed aspects of the operative logic, of socio-political character, which the Guinean state is built on and establishes its interactions, in one side, with the multilateral arena of COPs, and, on the other, with its own peoples when they experience the so-called \"natural\" disasters. From the foundations of the historical process that led to a socially excluding national state, this study makes a cross-scale analysis of three levels of power relations, namely: (a) one that considers the position of Guinea-Bissau when facing multilateral forces of economic and environmental development; (b) one that delimits the characteristic of the interaction between the national state and the NGOs and additional partners which assist in the planning/implementation of socioenvironmental policies; (c) the one in the local level, where the communities suffer the consequences and impositions from superior levels, by means of conflicts and alliances. This research has adopted three qualitative research methods: bibliographic research, documentary research, and field research.

Introdução: a tuberculose é uma doença milenar, constituindo um problema de saúde pública, desde sua descoberta até hoje em dia. Recentemente, com o surgimento da HIV/AIDS, a doença ganhou outros contornos e dimensões, nos países desenvolvidos e, sobretudo, nos países em desenvolvimento. Objetivo: análise das ações da Luta Contra Tuberculose na República da Guiné-Bissau e do fluxo do sistema de notificação e de informação de dados, dentro do Sistema Nacional de Saúde. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo exploratório descritivo que consiste no diagnóstico da situação de tuberculose no país, no período de 2000 a 2005, mediante levantamento das informações secundárias dos principais indicadores epidemiológicos e operacionais mais utilizados no país. Foram feitos cálculos de coeficientes e taxas, assim como a padronização pelo método direto de coeficientes de incidência de casos bacilíferos, para comparação. Resultados: no período de estudo, foram registrados 10.623 casos de tuberculose. O menor coeficiente de incidência de tuberculose foi de 116,4/100.000 habitantes, no ano de 2003, e o mais alto foi de 131,3/100.000 habitantes, em 2005. O maior coeficiente de mortalidade registrado foi de 16,8/100.000 habitantes, em 2005. A maior taxa de letalidade foi de 11,8%, em 2005, e a mais baixa, de 5,1%, em 2003. Conclusão: é de notar que a busca ativa de sintomáticos respiratórios ainda é baixa, assim como a cobertura da estratégia DOTS, por possíveis problemas técnicos operacionais. Há necessidade da melhoria do diagnóstico no país, sobretudo da forma clínica extrapulmonar, e de um sistema de notificação e informação eficiente em todos os níveis.Introduction: tuberculosis is a millenarian disease, constituting a public health problem since its discovery until nowadays. Recently, with the advent of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis has developed into other shapes and dimensions, in developed countries and, above all, in developing countries. Objective: to analyze the actions of the Fight against Tuberculosis in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, the flow of the notification and data information system, from the National Health System. Methodology: this is an exploratory descriptive study that consists on the diagnosis of the situation of tuberculosis in the country, in the period between 2000 and 2005, by means of survey of secondary information from the main epidemiological and operational indicators used in the country. Calculations of coefficients, rates, were made as well as the standardization by the direct method of coefficients of incidence of infectious (smear-positive) cases for comparison. Results: in the period of study, 10.623 cases of tuberculosis were registered. The lowest coefficient of tuberculosis incidence was of 116,4/100,000 inhabitants in the year of 2003, and highest one was of 131,3/100,000 inhabitants in 2005. The highest coefficient of mortality registered was of 16,8/100,000 inhabitants, in 2005. The highest lethality rate was of 11,8% in 2005, and the lowest was of 5,1% in 2003. Conclusion: it is possible to notice that the active search for respiratory symptomatic is still low, as well as the covering of DOTS strategy, because of possible technical operational problems. The improvement of diagnosis in the country is necessary, specially the extra pulmonary clinical form, and also a system of notification and efficient information in all levels.

O estudo chama a atenção para o fenômeno do analfabetismo na população jovem e adulta da Guiné-Bissau, buscando compreender por que a alfabetização de jovens e adultos ainda não figura entre as prioridades da política educacional desse país africano, identificando as possibilidades de transformação dessa realidade e os fatores que interferem no processo educacional. Tendo por base a prática pedagógica de Paulo Freire, que considera o desenvolvimento do indivíduo como resultado do processo histórico, o estudo enfatiza que aspectos relativos à diversidade cultural, marcadamente as variedades linguísticas e religiosas presentes na Guiné-Bissau, devem ser considerados. A diversidade cultural, as cosmologias próprias vinculadas a diferentes idiomas e religiosidades compõem uma “África Profunda”, conforme a obra do filósofo argentino Rodolfo Kusch. Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico e documental sobre a Alfabetização de Jovens e Adultos na Guiné-Bissau, sendo localizadas algumas dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado na perspectiva do estudo da questão. A pesquisa está estruturada também em torno dos referenciais da pesquisa qualitativa em Educação, e, a partir dessa concepção, foi feita a interpretação dos dados obtidos por meio das entrevistas junto aos facilitadores, técnicos e à diretora de Alfabetização de Adultos do Ministério da Educação da Guiné-Bissau, bem como a estudantes jovens e adultos que frequentam turmas de alfabetização em nove comunidades visitadas durante o trabalho de campo, desenvolvidos de maio de 2017 a fevereiro de 2018 O método de alfabetização ALPHA TV é desenvolvido nas comunidades visitadas, sendo utilizado pela maioria dos facilitadores. A observação participante contribuiu para a organização e construção de diários de campo, nos quais se descrevem os espaços e processos educativos que aí ocorrem. Foi realizado também um mapeamento das experiências públicas e privadas de alfabetização de jovens e adultos na Guiné-Bissau, descrevendo as condições sociais e políticas, e o sistema educacional vigente no país. O estudo conclui que o estado guineense precisa implementar um sistema educacional para a alfabetização de jovens e adultos, enquanto política pública destinada a todo o seu território. Para isso, precisa contar com a participação da sociedade e valorizar ou considerar a sua variedade linguística e religiosa, a fim de promover o desenvolvimento social do país.The study draws attention to the phenomenon of illiteracy in the young and adult population of Guinea-Bissau, trying to understand why the literacy of young people and adults is not yet among the priorities of the educational policy of this African country, identifying the possibilities of transformation of this reality and factors that interfere with the educational process. Based on the pedagogical practice of Paulo Freire, who considers the development of the individual as a result of the historical process, the study emphasizes that aspects related to cultural diversity, markedly the linguistic and religious varieties present in Guinea-Bissau, should be considered. Cultural diversity, its own cosmologies linked to different languages and religiosities make up a "Deep Africa", according to the work of the Argentine philosopher Rodolfo Kusch. A bibliographical and documentary survey was carried out on the Literacy of Youths and Adults in Guinea-Bissau, where some master's dissertations and doctoral theses were located in view of the study of the issue The research is also structured around the qualitative research in Education, and from this conception, the data obtained through the interviews with the facilitators, technicians and the Director of Adult Literacy of the Ministry of Education of the Guinea- Bissau, as well as young students and adults attending literacy classes in nine communities visited during field work, from May 2017 to February 2018. The ALPHA TV literacy method is developed in the communities visited and is used most of the facilitators. Participant observation contributed to the organization and construction of field diaries, in which the educational spaces and processes that occur there are described. A mapping of public and private experiences of youth and adult literacy in Guinea-Bissau was also carried out, describing the social and political conditions and the educational system in force in the country. The study concludes that the Guinean state needs to implement an educational system for youth and adult literacy as a public policy aimed at its entire territory. To do this, it needs to count on the participation of society and value or consider its linguistic and religious variety, in order to promote the social development of the country.

Dissertação de Mestrado em EstratégiaO presente estudo procura compreender e conhecer os elementos e os procedimentos essenciais ao processo de elaboração do Conceito Estratégico Nacional (doravante CEN) aplicado ao caso da Guiné-Bissau. Examina-se o pensamento estratégico nacional da Guiné Bissau, o quadro político-normativo, os instrumentos do poder que sustentam o processo e explica o ciclo do processo estratégico que o Estado adota com vista a prossecução da sua segurança nacional. Esta investigação concorre para o conhecimento das maiores fragilidades com que a Guiné Bissau se debate em termos de processo estratégico nacional e discute como o país pode fazer jus ao conhecimento existente, por forma a liderar, com soberania, o seu autêntico processo de definição do conceito estratégico nacional. Como contributo, o estudo discute a necessidade do CEN no contexto do pequeno Estado guineense, compreende o processo estratégico nacional e projeta a ideia de um modelo para um eventual processo de institucionalização do CEN na Guiné-Bissau.
The present study seeks to understand and discern the elements and procedures required in the elaboration process of the National Strategic Concept (hereinafter CEN), here applied to the case of Guinea-Bissau. It examines Guinea-Bissau's national strategic thinking, the political-normative framework, the instruments of power that underpin the process. Moreover, it explains the strategic process the state adopts to pursuing its national security. This research unveils Guinea-Bissau's major weaknesses at the national strategic process, and discusses how state might apply existing knowledge to foster sovereignty on its authentic process of national strategic concept definition. The study original contribution is entailed in the discussion of the need for CEN in the context of the small Bissau-Guinean state, and the understanding the national strategic process. Lastly, it projects the idea of a model for a possible CEN elaboration process in Guinea-Bissau.

Full textAbstract:
Humans are continuously exposed to complex mixtures of anthropogenic chemicals. This thesis focus on human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). POPs ability to bioaccumulate and biomagnify together with the extensive historical use of POPs in e.g. agriculture and industry have resulted in detection of these compounds in humans and animals from all over the world. Adverse health effects caused by POPs are of particular concern for newborns and young individuals. The objective of this thesis is to assess human exposure to a selected set of POPs and their metabolites. More specifically, one aim of my thesis is to determine the exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and in particular their methylsulfonyl and hydroxylated metabolites in humans from a “hot-spot” area of PCB contamination in eastern Slovakia. The maternal transfer of these chemicals is studied. Further, another specific aim is to determine occurrence, levels and, when possible, temporal trends of POPs in children and adults from three developing countries, Nicaragua, Guinea-Bissau and Bangladesh. High concentrations of PCBs and their metabolites are shown in men and women from Michalovce in eastern Slovakia. Placental transfer of methylsulfonyl-metabolites of PCBs and 4,4’-DDE was observed for the first time. Decreasing temporal trends of the majority of POPs are shown in serum from a cohort of policemen from Guinea-Bissau. In contrast, the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) show an increasing time trend. Within five years, decreasing levels of POPs were also shown in children working and living at a waste disposal site in Nicaragua. Children working and living at waste disposal sites in Bangladesh have considerably lower levels of POPs compared to the children from Nicaragua except for 4,4’-DDT and 4,4’-DDE that are present at very high concentrations, indicating ongoing use of technical DDT. There are many studies on levels and trends of environmental pollutants from the developed industrial countries in the world, whereas data from developing countries is still scarce. This thesis contributes to partly fill this data gap since it includes assessments of POPs in children and adults from four countries on four continents.At the time of doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 5: Manuscript. Paper 6: Manuscript.

Full textAbstract:
Rainforest biodiversity is particularly vulnerable to loss, since the distribution of forests is limited and the vertebrate species that live within these forests have a limited potential to re-colonize deforested areas, especially when their abundance declines to critical levels. Guinea-Bissau (West Africa) is experiencing significant loss of habitats and species diversity; as such, the establishment of an effective conservation programme is urgent in its remaining forested areas. Despite six legislated protected areas, Guinean forests and their wildlife are not safe in reality. This lack of on-the-ground protection is the case for Cantanhez National Park (Tombali region), where this research took place. The park was established in 2007 to protect remnant forests containing unique and endemic Guinean biodiversity, such as the endangered West African chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus). Local inhabitant’s attitudes towards protected areas and associated externallydriven conservation programmes are seldom examined in depth in relation to understanding the drivers (livelihood, socio-cultural, and local) of perceptions, which makes conservation problematic. Understanding attitudes to animals, habitats and livelihood risks were the focus of this project, specifically in order to assess perceptions of chimpanzees. Chimpanzees are currently suffering catastrophic declines due to human actions across Africa. Thus a focus on understanding, managing and enhancing people’s perceptions and attitudes towards this species could be vital to its long-term survival. The theoretical approach is based upon (i) examining the construct of sociozoologic scales in this specific socio-cultural context, (ii) elucidating issues in humanwildlife interaction (e.g. conflict such as crop-raiding and positive such as ecotourism potential), (iii) local economies (i.e. level of dependency on forest resources), and (iv) understanding people’s expectations about the future of the National Park as a potential constraint or opportunity for their welfare and livelihoods. Quantitative and qualitative methods were combined to approach these questions. 17 The Guinean sociozoologic scale of Cantanhez clearly divides vertebrate species into (i) “tame”, considered good (e.g. gazelles) and (ii) “hazardous”, considered bad (e.g. hyaenas). Chimpanzees lay exactly in the midpoint. They are considered humans’ close relatives; however, they “misbehave” as astute crop thieves sufficiently to be perceived as a competitor for resources. Since chimpanzees are also seen as very similar to humans, their meat consumption is taboo, which adds the potential for protection. Gender and religion both influence the way locals perceive of and relate to chimpanzees. Women and Muslims tend to be more negative towards this species and the protected area than are men and non-Muslims. Women never exhibited positive attitudes in relation to the protected area, while men appeared to be more engaged with “capitalized” principles, with some awareness about the importance chimpanzees might have in catalyzing the National Park and local economy. This study highlights the need for a management plan to mitigate crop-raiding and the development of sustainable strategies that provide livelihood benefits for both men and women, addressing their distinct needs, outside the protected area.

Dissertação apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Acção Humanitária, Cooperação e DesenvolvimentoA presente dissertação de mestrado tem como tema “Mutilação Genital Feminina: Percepções de Jovens Guineenses residentes em Portugal e de Profissionais com experiência na Guiné-Bissau”. Para tal, pretende-se estudar em que medida a sociedade guineense, mais particularmente o grupo jovem desta população, vê o fenómeno da MGF. De forma a complementar a informação adquirida através deste público, temos a percepção de profissionais que são externos à sociedade guineense, mas que devido ao trabalho realizado no país têm uma visão imparcial sobre a questão da MGF e como a sociedade vê a mesma. A investigação aqui apresentada teve por base a informação obtida através das entrevistas realizadas a dois jovens guineenses que residem actualmente em Portugal e a um profissional que, em determinado momento, desenvolveu funções na área da educação/acção humanitária na Guiné-Bissau. Infelizmente não foi possível, com esta investigação, perceber exactamente como a população guineense e principalmente os jovens, vêm o fenómeno da MGF. Devido à pequena amostra analisada, apenas podemos apresentar resultados provenientes das opiniões recolhidas junto dos participantes. Quanto aos projectos levados a cabo por organizações governamentais e não-governamentais, estes têm apresentado resultados positivos. Confiamos na possibilidade de, no futuro, a abolição da MGF na Guiné-Bissau poder ser uma realidade. This master thesis has the theme "Female Genital Mutilation: Perceptions of Young Guinean that live in Portugal and Professionals with experience in Guinea-Bissau." To this end, we intend to study the extent to which Guinean society, in particular the youth group of this population sees the phenomenon of FGM. Complementing this vision, we have the perception of professionals who are external to the Guinean society, but due to the work they done in the country are able to have an impartial view on the issue of FGM and how society views it. The research presented here was based on the information obtained to two young Guineans currently residing in Portugal and a Professional that in particular time developed duties in the field of education / humanitarian action in Guinea-Bissau. Unfortunately it was not possible, with this research, understand exactly how the Guinean population and especially young people, see the phenomenon of FGM. Due to the small sample size, we can only present results from the views collected from the participants. As for the projects carried out by governmental and non-governmental organizations, these have shown positive results. We trust in the possibility that, in the future, the abolition of FGM in Guinea-Bissau can be a reality.

Mestrado em Contabilidade, Fiscalidade e Finanças EmpresariaisUm dos problemas que enfrentam as finanças públicas de muitos países em desenvolvimento, em particular da Guiné-Bissau, é a dificuldade de arrecadação de receitas próprias, sobretudo tributárias, de que o Estado carece para o normal desenvolvimento da sua actividade. O objectivo do presente estudo é, por um lado, a obtenção de uma função da capacidade tributária guineense com dados históricos do período de 1984-2007. Por outro lado, visa-se a determinação do esforço fiscal relativo do país, no quadro mais geral dos restantes países da UEMOA, e os seus reflexos na necessidade de aumento das receitas fiscais, utilizando a metodologia econométrica de análise de dados em painel. Os resultados do estudo apontam para a existência de uma relação directa entre o nível de fiscalidade e o peso da agricultura no PIB, ao mesmo tempo, a ordenação dos países de acordo com o seu esforço fiscal permitiu concluir que a Guiné-Bissau tem feito um esforço fiscal relativo menor, ocupando a última posição no conjunto dos países da UEMOA, no período de 2001 a 2007.
One of the problems facing the public finances of many developing countries, in particular Guinea-Bissau, is the difficulty of raising their own revenues, especially tax revenue, needed by the State for the normal development of its activity. The purpose of this study is, on the one hand, to obtain a taxable capacity function for Guinea-Bissau on historical data covering the 1984-2007 period. On the other hand, it is aimed at determining the comparative tax effort of the country, within the general framework of the other West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries, and its impact on the need to increase tax revenue, using an econometric analysis of panel data. A direct relationship between the tax ratio and the weight of agriculture in GDP can be inferred from the result achieved; at the same time, the ranking of countries according to their tax effort lead to the conclusion that Guinea-Bissau has made a comparatively lesser tax effort, being ranked at the last post among WAEMU countries in the period from 2001 to 2007.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho trata da descrição e da análise do fraseamento entoacional do contorno de sentenças declarativas neutras do português falado na Guiné-Bissau (PGB), no que se refere, especificamente, à investigação da relação entre atribuição de eventos tonais ao contorno entoacional e formação de domínios prosódicos. Além disso, faz-se a comparação dos resultados obtidos para o fraseamento entoacional dos dados do PGB com os resultados obtidos para o fraseamento entoacional já descritos em trabalhos anteriores para o português brasileiro (PB) e para o português europeu (PE). Os corpora utilizados para o desenvolvimento deste estudo derivam de dois tipos de discurso (sentenças de leitura e de fala espontânea). A descrição e a análise do fraseamento entoacional das sentenças declarativas neutras contidas nesses corpora é desenvolvido à luz da abordagem Autossegmental e Métrica da fonologia entoacional (PIERREHUMBERT, 1980; BECKMAN; PIERREHUMBERT, 1986; LADD, 1996, 2008; entre outros) e da Fonologia Prosódica (SELKIRK, 1984, 1986, 2000; NESPOR; VOGEL, 1986, 2007; entre outros) e com base em estudos prévios desenvolvidos nesses mesmos quadros teóricos e aplicados ao PB (CUNHA 2000; FROTA; VIGÁRIO 2000; TENANI 2002; FERNANDES, 2007a, 2007b; SERRA 2009; entre outros) e ao PE (GRØNNUM; VIANA, 1999; FROTA, 2000, 2002a, 2002b, 2003; VIGÁRIO, 2003; VIGÁRIO; FROTA, 2003; CRUZ, 2013; entre outros). Os resultados alcançados nesta dissertação revelam características entoacionais do PGB que são similares às encontradas nas demais variedades de português: (i) a frequente atribuição de acentos tonais a palavras fonológicas do contorno entoacional (característica também encontrada no contorno entoacional do PB); (ii) a associação obrigatória de um acento tonal à palavra fonológica cabeça do último sintagma fonológico do sintagma entoacional, seguido por um tom de fronteira associado à fronteira direita desse sintagma (assim como no PB e no PE); (iii) a correspondência do padrão do contorno nuclear do sintagma entoacional das declarativas neutras do PGB com os padrões do contorno nuclear desse mesmo sintagma das sentenças declarativas neutras do PB e das variedades do PE; (iv) a possibilidade de associação de acentos frasais a fronteiras de sintagmas fonológicos (evento tonal que é encontrado associado a sintagmas fonológicos desse mesmo tipo de sentenças em uma das variedades centro-meridionais do PE); e (v) a ocorrência de eventos tonais adicionais H associados a sílabas pretônicas de palavras fonológicas longas do contorno entoacional (semelhante aos tons adicionais encontrados associados a palavras fonológicas também longas no PB).In this study, we investigate the intonation of neutral declarative sentences of Portuguese of Guinea-Bissau (GBP), with regarding to the investigation of the relation between tonal events assignment and prosodic domains formation. In addition, we compare the results obtained for the analysis of GBP data with the intonational patterns of neutral sentences described on previous works for Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and European Portuguese (EP). For this research, a corpus of two different speech styles (read sentences and spontaneous speech sentences) was used. For the description and analysis of intonational of neutral declarative sentences in this corpus we followed the Autosegmental Metrical aproach within the intonational phonology framework (PIERREHUMBERT, 1980; BECKMAN; PIERREHUMBERT, 1986; LADD, 1996, 2008; among others), the Prosodic Phonology framework (SELKIRK, 1984, 1986, 2000; NESPOR; VOGEL 1986, 2007; among others) and previous studies conducted on those theoretical frameworks and applied to BP (CUNHA; 2000; FROTA; VIGÁRIO, 2000; TENANI 2002; FERNANDES, 2007a, 2007b; SERRA 2009; among others) and EP (GRØNNUM; VIANA, 1999; FROTA, 2000, 2002a, 2002b, 2003; VIGÁRIO, 2003; FROTA; VIGÁRIO, 2003; CRUZ, 2013; among others). The results achieved in this work show that the intonation properties of GBP are similar to those found in the other varieties of Portuguese already studied. These properties are as follow: (i) frequent association of pitch accents with Phonological Words of intonation contour (tonal characteristic also found in BP); (ii) a pitch accent is obligatorily associated with the Phonological Word head of the last Phonological Phrase of a Intonation Phrase, followed by a boundary tone associated with the right edge of that Intonation Phrase (as in BP and EP); (iii) there is a matching in the nuclear contour of GPB neutral declarative sentences with the nuclear contour of BP and varieties of EP neutral declarative sentences; (iv) the possibility of phrasal accents to be associated with phonological phrases boundaries (the same possibility is found for one of the center-southern varieties of EP); and (v) the possibility of H tones to be associated with pretonic syllables of long Prosodic Words (as in BP).

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of conducting this research was to make accessible a detailed analysis of women’s involvement, roles, contributions in the national liberation movement in Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands. Such a study was necessary because of the scanty nature of the information available on this particular subject matter. In order to adequately assess the women’s engagement in the liberation movement - the African Party for the Independence of Guinea—Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC), it was of equal significance to focus on their impact in the national culture, the economy, and the political structure. Additionally, a comparison was made between pre and post independence periods in relation to women’s specific gains in education, agriculture, employment, culture, etc. In Chapter 5 the analysis relates to women’s involvement in the transformation process, and the researcher emphasizes the consciousness-raising factors. Chapter 6 constitutes the conclusion. Based on the findings, the researcher reached the conclusion that in addition to the PAIGC, consciousness-raising was a major factor in women’s participation in the liberation movement. This is with special emphasis on their struggle for more and better education, improved health and child care facilities, and for access to better agricultural tools; as well, for the eradication of oppressive traditionalistic/cultural norms such as the lack of divorce rights for women and polygyny.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to identify and quantify (1) how Typical Meteorological Year (TMY)-based power systems perform when exposed to atypical variability and (2) how TMY-centric power system design differs from full variability design. A simplified least cost power system planning model, including a novel performance analysis formulation, is proposed and tested for Guinea-Bissau and Turkey, covering both main Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) technologies, solar PV and wind turbines. TMY is compared against 24-year timeseries datasets containing hourly resolution solar PV and wind capacity factor (CF) data. This study finds that TMY-based power system designs underperform when exposed to atypical variability. Over the entire dataset, foregone VRE generation and additional expenses approximate 36 GWh and 10 million USD for Guinea-Bissau, and 92 GWh and 232,000 million TL for Turkey. Moreover, Turkey faces unmet demand, amounting up to 50 TWh. Likewise, power system design significantly differs when including atypical variability, illustrating how TMY-centric design underestimates non-VRE capacity and overestimates VRE capacity. In the case of Guinea-Bissau, solar contingency was tested in combination with atypical variability, and harvested the complete exclusion of solar PV from the system. This illustrates the effect of factors such as atypical variability and contingency measures on power system design, especially considering the high solar availability in the country combined with low solar PV costs. Moreover, including batteries as spinning reserve providers, is found to reduce overall system costs and under certain circumstances increase the selection of solar PV. Besides addressing these two main questions and the additional stability measure study, this document proposes two new data reduction methods to account for both typical and atypical variability, without adding significant computational costs. The first, labelled the ‘incremental year analysis’ was found to be a proxy to estimate the amount of years required to reach an optimal design. The second, ‘power system performance analysis’, in this study reduces the data size at least by half. Moreover, this approach allows power system planners to further reduce the dataset size when including low underperformance tolerance levels and enables the identification of extreme underperforming years. These approaches do not solve the issue and are time intensive. However, they can complement the existing TMY approach by including atypical variability whilst minimizing computational costs. Thereby, this study concludes that atypical variability impacts power system design and performance, and hence should be included in long-term planning methodologies. Concurrently, this research acknowledges the need for solutions that can circumvent the need for additional, often costly computational resources.Denna studie syftar till att identifiera och kvantifiera hur kraftsystem baserade på typiska meteorologiska år (TMY) (1) presterar vid exponering av icke-typiska variationer samt (2) hur en TMYcentrerad kraftsystemdesign skiljer sig från en design som inkluderar de årliga variationerna. En förenklad planeringsmodell baserad på kostnadsminimering innehållande en prestationsanalys som täcker både VRE-teknik, sol-PV och vindkraft föreslås och testas i länderna Guinea-Bissau och Turkiet. TMY jämförs med historiska sol- och vindkraftskapacitetsfaktordata insamlat under 24 år och med en upplösning en timme. Studien visar att en TMY-baserade kraftsystemsdesign underpresterar när de exponeras för icketypiska variationer. Över hela perioden saknades en VRE-generation på 36 GWh i Guinea-Bissau vilket skulle medföra ytterligare kostnader på omkring och 10 miljoner USD. Motsvarande resultat låg på 92 GWh och 232 000 miljoner TL för Turkiet. Vidare skulle en diskrepans mellan tillgång och efterfrågan på upp till 50 TWh uppstå i Turkiet. Detta visar hur raftsystemdesign påverkas väsentligt när den inkluderar icke-typiska variationer vilket illustrerar hur en TMY-centrerad design underskattar icke- VRE-kapacitet och överskattar VRE-kapacitet. I fallet med Guinea-Bissau testades oförutsägbarheten i solkraften i kombination med icke typiska variationer och detta resulterade i att solceller helt uteslöts i ett optimalt system. Detta illustrerar hur stor påverkan faktorer så som icke-typiska variationer och oförutsägbara produktion har vid kraftsystemdesign, särskilt med tanke på den höga solens tillgänglighet i kombination med låga solcellskostnader. Vidare visar resultaten att när batterier inkluderas som kapacitetsbalansering att de totala systemkostnaderna kan minska och under vissa förutsättningar kan även andelen solbaserad produktion ökas. Förutom att besvara de två huvudfrågorna och genomföra en stabilitetsstudie föreslås i detta dokument två nya metoder för datareduktion, detta för att ta hänsyn till både typisk och icke-typiska variationer utan att öka beräkningskostnaderna. Den första metoden kallad ‘incremental year analysis’ uppskattar antal år i som krävs i ingående data för att nå en optimal design. Den andra metoden, ’power system performance analysis’, minskar datastorleken till mindre än hälften. Dessa metoder gör det dessutom möjligt för kraftplanerare att ytterligare sänka datamängdsstorleken när de inkluderar låga toleransnivåer för underprestation samt hjälper de att identifiera extremt underpresterande år. Dessa tillvägagångssätt löser dock inte problemen och är tidskrävande. Metoderna kan dock komplettera det befintliga TMY-tillvägagångssättet genom att inkludera icketypisk variabilitet samtidigt som de håller beräkningskostnaderna nere. Slutsatsen som dras ur denna studie är att icke-typiska variationer påverkar systemets design och prestanda, och bör därför ingå i de långsiktiga planeringsmetoderna. Vidare visar denna studie att behovet är stort av nya metoder som kan kringgå behovet av ytterligare ofta kostsamma beräkningsresurser.

O presente trabalho teve como objeto de estudo a analise da gestão de Stakeholders de programas e projetos públicos de desenvolvimento socioeconômico. E como objetivo principal foi analisar a forma como a gestão dos Stakeholders ocorre na prática durante o processo de implementação de políticas públicas por meio de Projetos segundo as percepções dos gerentes dos projetos e os seus membros da equipe. Como objetivos secundários, a pesquisa buscou identificar e caracterizar por ordem de importância/saliência dos Stakeholders, segundo a percepção dos Gestores e das suas respectivas equipes, avaliar quem eram os stakeholders mais salientes de cada projeto e entender quais eram as estratégias de gestões que eram tomadas para lidar com os interesses desses agentes, avaliar quais práticas de gerenciamento de projetos que eram mais presentes no dia-a-dia dos gerentes e por fim identificar quais eram os fatores que poderiam influenciar positiva ou negativamente a implementação de políticas públicas por meio de projetos. Após a revisão bibliográfica e entrevistas exploratórias iniciais, foi feita pesquisas de campo através de estudos de caso (cinco casos foram estudados) e de um levantamento com 116 respondentes para identificar quem eram os stakeholders e os salientes de cada um dos casos. Como principais \"achados\", pode-se citar a percepção de que para a implementação de projetos públicos, os stakeholders salientes são as instituições e Organizações por serem financiadores e responsáveis pela segurança política para a execução. O stakeholder beneficiário do projeto é visto pelos responsáveis do projeto como sendo secundário na fase de implementação. Os estudos de caso ainda evidenciaram de que as equipes dos projetos adotam algumas das práticas de gerenciamento de projetos do PMI respeitando as orientações dos patrocinadores (parceiros bi e multilateral do país). A situação política instável e corrupção foram apontados como sendo os principais obstáculos para a execução dos projetos públicos. Igualmente, os participantes da pesquisa elegeram a estabilidade política e governativa como sendo elementos imprescindíveis para uma boa execução de projetos públicos com vista a proporcionar melhorias das condições de vida das populações. Por fim, este estudo permitirá diversos desdobramentos e análises alternativas, por seu ineditismo e detalhamentos obtidos sobre os aspectos teóricos selecionados.The present study had as object of study the analysis of the management of Stakeholders of public programs and projects of socioeconomic development. And the main objective was to analyze how the management of Stakeholders takes place in practice during the process of implementing public policies through Projects according to the perceptions of project managers and their team members. As secondary objectives, the research sought to identify and characterize in order of importance / salience of the Stakeholders, according to the perception of the Managers and their respective teams, to evaluate who were the most salient stakeholders of each project and to understand the management strategies that were to assess the project management practices that were most present in the day-to-day management of managers, and finally to identify what were the factors that could positively or negatively influence the implementation of public policies through projects. After the bibliographic review and initial exploratory interviews, field research was done through case studies (five cases were studied) and a survey of 116 respondents to identify who were the stakeholders and the salient of each case. The main \"findings\" are the perception that for the implementation of public projects, the salient stakeholders are the Institutions and Organizations because they are financiers and responsible for the political security for the execution. The beneficiary stakeholder of the project is seen by the project managers as being secondary in the implementation phase. The case studies have also shown that project teams adopt some of PMI\'s project management practices, following the guidelines of the sponsors (bi and multilateral partners in the country). The unstable political situation and corruption were identified as the main obstacles to the execution of public projects. Likewise, the research participants chose political and governmental stability as essential elements for a good execution of public projects with a view to improving the living conditions of the populations. Finally, this study will allow several unfolding and alternative analyzes, due to its novelty and details obtained on the theoretical aspects selected.
