Galland, Emmanuel. "Figures et imaginaires de la réussite sociale à Yaoundé : les enjeux moraux d’un débat public." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AIXM3060.
Full textUrban Cameroonians express a sense of passing through a time of “moral crisis” concerning the paths and foundations of social success. A sets of representations and imaginaries link intimately the question of success to the denunciation of moral depravity. Critique of “misguided” forms of success implies a denunciation of corruption, nepotism, scams, homosexuality and other forms of sexuality deemed to be scandalous. Criticism is also extended to “cults” and “occult circles”, “mysticism”, and “ritual crime”, as well as other practices connected to the imaginary of witchcraft and the occult.This thesis explores issues related to these critiques. By observing the practices of different urban social groups, an emic sense of the specific conceptions, figures, and paths of success in Yaoundé show that there are several constellations of norms, values, and feelings that impact how social success is judged, perceived, and legitimated. An opposition principle emerges between, on one side, a moral economy of a facility based on the speed and disconnection of productive work, and on the other side, a moral economy of merit that is articulated around the recognition of the value of hard work, talent and competence.A number of moral stakes are structured around this opposition and are seen in the denunciation discourse of social actors. Through their critique, these actors construct, in different contexts, the “scourges”, social problems, and political “causes” related to ways of becoming rich and succeeding. This is becoming increasingly visible and spectacular in recent years with major “affaires” agitating the public and political space of Cameroon

Full textThis work focuses on small vendors belonging to the Beti-Fang community. From their perspective, a successful business is a prerequisite for personl fulfillment. This achievment, demonstrated by the recognition of the pre-eminent status of "man not", is a condition and a manifestation of "mvoe" (absolute form of welfare and the ultimate horizon of existence). Material and social peace is unattainable without a favorable relationship with the invisible world. In fact, they perceive the universe as separated in two worlds: "visible" world (in which evolves all living beings) and an "invisible" world (restricted to those with supra-human powers). The universe is also divided into "good" and "evil" fields according to their propensity to favor or harm the "mvoe". In order to protect themselves from witches and other "Satan's agents", the vendors have to get the support of powerful allies found in the "divine field", particularly in the Pentecostal churches. Despite its hrmfulness, the invisible world is a place of opportunities as well, especially for underprivileged groups. Prosperous alliances with invisible forces are supposed to ensure well-being and success in the visible world. This constitutes what we have called the "magical and religious capital", referring to the ability of an individual to mobilize agents with supra-human powers to effectively act on the intangible aspects of his life

Full textFormerly a hamlet, Yaoundé the capital city of Cameroon, has emerged and is now a large African metropolis. Likewise number of sub-Saharan cities, she's in crisis. This crisis reveals itself through the existence of many problems she's currently undergoing. The endemic nature of diarrhoeal diseases, within health problems alliance, is part of them. These diarrhoeal diseaeses are unequaly distributed accross urban space. Such spatial disparities, witnessed not only accross the general prevalence of the pathology but also accross types of diarrhoeas, suggest the discrepancy urbanization process of the city. The determination and the objectivation of social and space risks factors associated with these diarrhoeal diseases, and incidentally the identification of risk spaces and or risk populations, can provide planners and health professionnals, useful appraisal tools, at two important levels at least : first, in assisting a new formulation of housing polices targetting the vulnerable and poor section of urban dwellers, and second, an indication for an updated urban health approach centered on suited and efficient prevention methods

Full textThe decline in fertility noticeable in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa from the end of the 1980s is happening at différent rhythms within différent social categories of populations. In nearly all countries, the most striking différences can be seen between urban and rural zones, with sharply higher transition speeds in African capitals. Cameroon is not immune to these demographic changes and its two large metropolises--Yaoundé and Douala--are among the sub-Saharan African regions that have advanced the furthest in the fertility transition process. What influence did the economic crisis announced in 1987 have? To what extent did the socio-economic trajectories of men and women characterised by long-term unemployment and the stability of poor and medium-income social categories influence the fertility schedule? What role did the social and economic development during the period of strong economic growth play? This research attempts to answer these questions using an original database that documents the life courses of men and women born between 1942 and 1971

Full textTowns administration and management policies in african states like in other underdevelopped countries are confronted to a great number of problems amongm which urban equipment seems to be the greatest. It is easier to observe it dysfunctionment mechanisms as well as their consequences throughout the analysis of the quality of equipments in yaounde (commission of public street and highways, water supplies, sanitation, electricity, telephone). With a growing population and superficy, cameroon's capital do not possess enough urban equipments. Those which are found are dysfunctional. Their importance, their quality as well as their unequal distribution in the town have engendered both a well equiped "modern town" and underequiped "popular" livehoods. Therefore yaounde's urban system has been unable to coordinate and to structure its differents compounds. This can be explained by physical environment, non adapted urban equiplents, low financial capabilities, history and economy. To solve this problem one should take in account the process which one engendered it. But in a difficult political and economical context, this seem as much as a dream

Has entered into a demographic transition : during the period 1976-87 the mortality rate dropped from 20,4% to 11,8$$ this transition, which is making itself felt, is the origin of a drastic increase in population which has brought the total population of cameroun to 10. 493. 655 in 1987, with an annual rate of increase of 2,9%. The encrease in population in cameroun has caused various problems : - drift from rural areas to towns - uncontrolled urbanisation - eg yaounde - economic problems - eg unemployment - problems related to health and education the answer to all these problems doesn't seem to be found in strict government action in order to decrease the birth rate, but rather in encouraging parental responsability

Full textCapital city of Cameroon, Yaoundé wich is found on a hilly site, has experienced since several years a peculiar process of land occupation. This process has been taking place in swampy and steep slope areas without respect for town planning norms. It is chaotic, illegal but tacitly encouraged by the unconcerned town planning authorities (officials). Today in the sites studied, urban planning problems are very grave posing serious challenges to the administrative authorities and danger to life of the city inhabitants. Characterised by a perceptible dynamic urbanisation process, these zones constitute problem areas, wich are negative particularly when one observes the urban landscape of the city. These zones are characterised by multiple set backs that include physical nature of the zone occupied, judicial nature of the zone since land needs to be occupied by legal procedures, the architectural nature of buildings, the nature of the inhabitants of the studied zones, wich involves the poorest. This study comprises four essential parts. The first part presents the site of the town of Yaoundé suitable frame for an uncontrolled urban spatial dynamic. The second part analyses the tricky question of land tenure, wich is the main cause of precarious situations and problems faced by the city dwellers in the marginal quarters of Yaoundé. The third part analyses the different main risks and the under equipment realities faced in the marginal quarters of Yaoundé and their consequences on the health of the inhabitants. To round up, part four analyses the arrangement strategies put in place by the actors encountered in the swamps and steep slope areas studied. It envisages also an option of arrangement suitable to bring out solutions to all the problems wich are encountered in the marginal quarters of Yaoundé

Full textThrough a case study analysis of the cameroonian capital of Yaounde, this thesis aims to reveal the way "of be-in-the-world" of the African townsmen and the direction which they give to their life during this time of crisis. Thus, it underlines the modalities of the brutal transition from "the urbanity of revenue" to "the urbanity of crisis" which represents for many individuals a "descent into Hell". It also shows that the post-colonial African city is not a product of importation : behind the illusory signs of acculturation generally hides, a mode of appropriation or social regulation, or a significance quite specific to the local imaginary. The adopted geographical process, which involves a detailed comprehension of the relevant socio-political and cultural phenomenon, privileges the observation of the everyday life and lived spaces. With this micro-geographical approach, the town territories are examined according to three registers thus reconstituting their principal facets (from the visible to the hidden): morphologies, temporalities and mobilities. Lastly, the thesis seeks the déterminants and constraints of these lived space in the collective behaviors of existence and emotion

Full textNowadays, intensive negociations are going on in Subsaharian African states in order to develop togetherness or interdependance and mainly, in their greater towns. In the capitals particularly, the appearance of national and city consciences beyond tribal or ethnic groups remains a key problem. There, a greater proximity, new neighborhoods and diverse social contacts are being created by a higher level of physical integration. It can give way to acculturation, mutual recognition or a mental integration. People of Yaounde think their town has a very segmented society, a very fragmented territory where tribes (ewondo natives, Beti, Hausa, Bamileke, Eton, Bassa, etc. ) Have each his quite exclusive districts. But, the observation of their pratice of the town, the localisation of the people estates, reveal other kind of heterogenity, with less division of the town into exclusive ethno-geographic districts than expected. This situation is due to many reasons. Controling a part of the land appropriation, the state and the local authorities have influenced the social composition of house holders or tenants, particularly the holders of hard estates. Reaching the metropolitan level, yaounde has seen his urban structure organised according to the urban ecology. Rings and sectors of specialised districts have appeared with the urban growth. They are spatial steps for people looking for better living conditions and better social statuts. The social project and the spatial movings usualy followed by people in the yaounde agglomeration show some typical crossing between types of districts revealed by the urban ecology. School districts function like gateways towards the modern urban districts for people moving from the country rural areas. The yaounde inhabitants position in the town also expresse situations in life, refering to economic or social cycles. But, if the effect of the metropolitan social selection process results in apparent regularities, this does not hinder peoples from feeling free in their choice and action. Yaounde contribution to the national building is finaly the result of it capacity to function as a mediator between people aspirations to school, money and privilege and the possibilities, real or supposed, that a metropolitan context gives to the satisfaction of such needs at his local level

Her various reactions show her dynamism, and leads to a sort of slow but real destruction of traditionnal society. This masterpiece consists of three main part; it deals with only the peasan woman from the important tribes of this sug-region, tribes which ares mostly found in yaounde, such as beti, boulou, bassa, douala, bamoun, ko'ozime. This study will not have to do with the highly placed woman of liberal occupations, although they undergo the same problems. The first part deals with the socio-juridic, economic and traditional statuts of the woman in south camercon communities. It is the question of this objective study aiming at bringing out the must constraint and traumatizing characteristins, at the expense of the woman or those in her faboiur or glory. This part brings out the political omnipotence caused by its presence among lineage, clans, tribes either friends or enemies. It also studies her traditionnal economic status. The second part concerns the urbanisation of south-cameroon and native woman. Ttsstudies the various psycho-social and economic mutations of this woman. In urban areas. It deals with women's rural exodus, their education at school and so on. . . ; their salaries, christian religions, it ends by a chapter dealing with new town woman in mbalmayo and sangmelina, two medium size in south cameroon. .

Full textIn one moment in his life, every one goes through a certain number of transitions (end of school, getting the first job, leaving the parental household, first union, etc. ). These transitions make him leave, step by step, the youth and enter into the adulthood. In this study, we have analyzed those processes which lead a young person to leave the status of dependent, in order to create his own family. The geographical area of the study was Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon. We've used retrospective longitudinal data collected in the Cameroonian capital in 1996. These data recount residential, family (unions, divorces and births of children) and professional episodes of men and women between 25 and 54 years old in 1996. The data analyses gave several interesting results: the timing of family formation has aged throw generations, for men as well as for women. Whereas the changes in family formation timing for women were essentially explained by the sociocultural factors (education, area of socialization, etc. ), analyses showed that, the economic factors were the main determinants of family formation timing for men

Full textThe libraties and documentation services are vital to the education and training of the people, and for the development of a nation. This prsent study has as its objective to try to evaluate the impact of these institutions firstly on the cameroon society, and secondly in the capital city, yaounde. The conclusion which we have drawn is that cameroon does not meet satisfactorily the needs of its population as far as documentation is concerned; neither audiovisual, nor printed. There are several factors, historical, social; political, and economical which explain this situation. This situation is very worrying, since the school-age population is constantly increasing. It is true that since the 1980' s the government has tried to supply all the provinces with public libraries. However, this program alone cannot remedy the deficiences discovered during the course of this study. Therefore. Much effort is still needed. More finances are needed, but also training, organization, coordination, and most of all a change of attitude towards these institutions

Full textIn a bid to construe the issue of solid household waste management in Yaounde, two analytical frameworks were adopted. A linear management of waste based on strategies of collection, transportation, processing, dumping-ground for waste accumulation and a switch towards a circular economy. Since the overlapping of powers as well as the technical, management and organisational shortcomings stand originally as the root cause of environmental disparities, it hardly favours the public management of waste. This has entailed stakes and harm such as irregular dumping sites, open incineration, floods as well as waste related pathologies.Because of lapses in linear management, the authorities have decided to lay the foundations of a new system relying on the recycling of waste known internationally as “circular economy”. Circular economy is being developed in precise areas such as formal and informal recoveries, repair, reuse, buying and resale of waste, composting and recycling. Such a governmental strategy, supported by actors of the civil and private societies was concretised by the creation in 2010 of new sectors such as the project of methanisation in the dumping-ground of Nkol Foulou, the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment wastes. In addition, the adoption of a juridical framework of the waste economy followed in 2012. To sum up, it is evident that, as time goes by, the repairing activity is become so dynamic that there is a greater need to restructure it. However, people still have negative perception of waste that hinders the breakthrough of this area. Finally, it is compulsory to sensitize, inform and educate Yaounde city dwellers for the improvement of solid waste management in Cameroon

Full textThe chosen subject is situated between the religious history, the cultural and social history, studying the history of the relations and the international cultural exchanges. In our research, we suggest to make a monographic study so that the high seminary of Cameroon, Otélé (1949-1968), fur away from Yaounde by about sixty kilometres, would be an observatory to study through the vocational training of the future priests, the transition from a missionary Church to the emergence of a national "African" Church. So, the chosen period allows us to understand the distances, even the denials of the missionary inheritance that had recreated a western model in order to favour the African implanting, both in the recruitment of the trainers and by the invention of new pastoral theologies. Two main questionings underlie our research. The first one concerns the training of the Cameroonian seminarists by foreigners, at first the Benedictines (1949-1963), then the Jesuits (1963-1968), before it was partially insured by natives. The second one is on acculturation. How did the candidates for the priesthood appreciate the educational approach, the cultural transfer from the monastic methods to a more diocesan spirit? This question brought us to discuss on difficulties of religious assimilation and the cleavage between formatives who were regular priests and future secular priests with divergent objectives. The first ones obey the rule of a monastic order and the second ones conscript to live in parish and among the laymen. At the same time, the emphasis was put on the evolutions and the changes during this period influenced by the decolonization and the independence of Cameroon. It concerns the Benedictine era, and by the Vatican II council including the Jesuit management, which facilitated the forming of the "inculturation", a way for the seminarists to reconquer and reaffirm their cultural identity

Full textThis work explores the ethnography of madness in Yaoundé. It takes the perspective of phenomenological sociology. More simply, it describes mediations, terms and operativity of madness. It tries to exhume and describe "practice intelligibility" of acts and speech produced by "members", at different levels, about madness. We chose to work on this issue by articulating three main points, all interrelated namely: "street", the clinical and the politics. Firstly, the inquiry' describes scenes, especially in the public space, which represent some of manifestations of madness. This concerns specially the practices of denudation, sexual abuses on/and between people suffering from mental illness (involving sometimes occult economies) and body performances on a degrading and obscene mode. Secondly, the inquiry de scribes discourses that exemplify the different ways of knowing madness by "members" (Garfinkel) in a configuration that includes people and institutional political actors. Are also described and analyzed how actors are facing to the biomedical model, not only in resisting it, or in adopting it, but in resorting, in a complex configuration, to the local knowledges which represent the dominant model in society and which are based on the knowledges of ethnomedecines and all kinds of religious therapies against a State whose the taking care of mental health problems based largely on politicies of enmity and indifference …

Full textThis thesis examines the financial contributions of young girls in Yaoundé (Cameroon) to their family resources. Little attention has been given to the phenomenon of young girls as breadwinner in research in the social sciences; thus, our objective through this work is to try to make it a subject of research in itself. Our study analyses semi-structured interviews with 45 women (hosted, heads of households, married). The results show that these young girls’ economic support to their family does not happen spontaneously. It is the result of a long process incorporating the specific social, family and individual configurations. It also appears that unlike the ideas conveyed by some feminists, the person exerting domination over women is not always the man but rather the entire family and mainly they are women.Women, who bear the bulk of the family's expenses, are placed in the ambivalent position of having to sacrifice the future autonomy of younger and more vulnerable women who are sometimes their own daughters. Parents thus delegate to children the financial burden that they are supposed to support. So these girls, whose economic responsibilities are considered as very important on the one hand, are socially considered as minors on the other hand.Although our study shows the vast majority of our respondents as individuals acting like breadwinners, their energy to support their families of birth results in great injuries. The role of breadwinner has negative repercussions on their life projects, namely, downgrading on the marriage market, difficulties in conceiving children and inability to put aside their own savings, that could be useful in their future life just to name a few

Full textInstigated by religious leaders, the believers of the Churches and deliverance ministries consider witchcraft as being responsible for all sorts of misfortunes. Nganga, pastors and exorcist priests, have gradually committed to hunt witchcraft, by the means of denunciation of witchcraft, formerly privileged and defended by the prophets, their preferred method. In Cameroon, in a context of religious effervescence, the leaders oppose to this phenomenon an anti-witchcraft violence. Based on conducted surveys from 2010 to 2015, this thesis focuses on the radicalization of anti-witchcraft discourse performed by fundamentalist Pentecostals; rhetoric that generates multiple forms of violence, including family tensions. The fact that people massively follow this interpretation of witchcraft is explained according to its focus on the familiar cultural context. The results are challenging as the action puts emphasis on over-interpreting the facts and phenomenon, whose understanding and explanation remain questionable, as the mindset of the actors is influenced by imaginary witchcraft

Full textThis study was conducted in a health center in Yaoundé with the aim to develop a rational management of febrile patients with the use of a rapid diagnostic test for malaria (RDT). Patients suspected to be suffering from uncomplicated malaria and satisfying the inclusion criteria were enrolled and treated with antimalarial drugs based on a presumptive diagnosis (presumptive arm) or the test result (RDT arm). The first phase of the study (November 2007-January 2008), performed in 313 children and adults using the RDT DiaSpot® showed the impact of RDT on the improvement of cure rate in children less than five years of age despite the sensitivity of 71.4%. On the contrary, RDT was not useful in patients > 5 years. During the second phase of the study (October 2008-January 2009), 382 patients < 5 years were enrolled. Malaria was the fourth cause of morbidity (14.7%); 42.9% of them had fever of unknown origin, probably of viral origin, requiring only antipyretics. Children suffered essentially from acute respiratory infections (31.4%) and diarrhea (16.2%). The RDT Paracheck-Pf® was used and showed a sensitivity of 96.2% and a specificity of 97.6%. The use of RDT resulted in 13.7% of unjustified antimalarial treatment due to false-positives, as compared to 84% of unjustified antimalarial treatment in the presumptive strategy. After 3 days of follow-up, the recovery rates in the presumptive and RDT arms were 68.4% and 80.5%, respectively. Treatment of a malaria case cost, in average, 20.00 euros in the presumptive arm, as compared with 8.40 euros in the RDT arm, i.e. an incremental cost of 2.30 euros per false positive averted due to the use of the novel diagnostic tool. An interactive model based on these economic parameters in relation with malaria prevalence was developed with Excel spreadsheet. Theoretically, of the two methods, the RDT-based management is less expensive if the proportion of malaria-related fever is < 80% and the price of RDT is < 2.65 euros. Based on these results, the use of malaria RDT is recommended to improve management of febrile patients at a lower cost and reduce the unjustified use of antimalarial drugs in Yaoundé

Full textIt is often on the bases of quantitative criteria that we say that Cameroon is a poor country. This assertion may not necessarily be faulty. Yet, there is another form of poverty, which is attributed to Cameroonians and which migth not be easily quantified because it it essentially qualitative. In this thesis, this latter type of poverty could be found in the negative and archaic representations which govern Cameroonians and regulate their relationship with human beings and things. As a matter of fact, it has been observed from various specific cases that in Cameroon, wherever there is poverty, a specific sign seems to accompany it. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to pinpoint and analyse these negative and archaic signs that weaken man, hinder his progress and mortage his future, and compae them with calvinian ethics so as to propose new possibilities of existence. This spiritual approach makes it possible to embody concretely the true values of protestantism and therefore helps to prove that such values are still alive and pertinent

We aim here at understanding the social and cultural role of this belief, its evolution in contemporary society, and the social dynamics linked with it. Animal “were-beings” are appearing at two main levels. First in the political sphere, where they are used to legitimate the prominent social position of initiated people, in a context of fierce social competition about nobility titles with new economic elites. Second in the witchcraft discourse, where several types of “alter ego” are called upon through charges, mainly resulting from structural conflicts between successors and non-successors in kin groups. The public autopsy, carried on during bereavements, is one of the main rituals where such a belief is used and transmitted

In fact, urban insecurity is becoming a serious concern of developing countries cities mainly in Cameroonian cities where the rise of criminality and violence have generated popular and state initiatives of security. Regarding theory, several approaches have been employed in order to display the security environment of the concerned cities. We consider Douala and Yaoundé cities as cultural production places where many forms of hybrid identities and diverse urban territories are constructed through migrations, different cultures and behaviors coming from home villages. Then, one should think about the modes of local governance, in order to understand the framing conditions of this urban cultural dynamics. In the same vein, local governance involves actor roles and logics. Those logics can be observed by considering their cognitive dimension and relation to space. Cognitive dimensions are related to perception, experience and subjective representation associated with insecurity. Thus, insecurity feeling, fear, marginalization, violence and criminalization are phenomena involving disadvantage people, who are victims of insecurity. This context is propitious to the unfolding of actor logics, informality, and segregation not only as tools controlling urban spaces but also as an environment of secure spaces production. Informality and segregation are also favorable for the development of identities, for the construction of utopias, these ameliorative visions that motivate and transform actors. Actor logics justify security initiatives. Finally, actors go through out a subjectivation process to be transformed and to perform as subjects. Methodologically, this thesis is based on a critical and comparative ethnography of security and also on the social action approach, which consider social interactions to explain security rationality. By studying security, we suppose look at neighborhood level, which is the main purpose of securing and expression domain of informality. The neighborhoods are surrounded by urban chiefdoms whose management systems has been identified by the expression of local governance. Faced with the security issue that governance acts with its identity, its culture and its representations. It rubs with the state, whose logics, technical and organizational strategies materialize security policies. Douala and Yaoundé cities have popular security approaches that differ each other in terms of their local organization of neighborhoods and their popular temperament. Those cities are close by their actor logics and motivations used to perform as subjects. This research has found that there is a form of rationality which governs the production of all the dynamics and security strategies that prevail in Douala and Yaoundé. This rationality get through a plurality of security logics related either to security or insecurity. Definitely, migration from the countryside to the city, informality, segregation and the presence of local gangs are urban realities that give a particular form to insecurity, but also invite to a rehabilitation of techniques and actor groups involved in the security production. It appears that the security rationality, this intelligence of government, observed in the public security devices, also creates in the popular actor processes, identification techniques to law enforcement. In its process, this rationality leads to the production of secure and security subjects. By entering human productions as innovative activities, we understand that security proceeds by rapprochement between the police and the people, for the implementation of mechanisms to respond to the threat and also the «confiscation of security» for an elite purposes. Then it represents an instance of subjectivity where innovation is materialized and where the actors perform, create security and recreate the city. Finally, this thesis reveals a plurality of security logics constructed around the same security rationality.

Full textIn this thesis, we study the social schemes which rule the production and consumption of television in an african country : cameroon. Wecompare television production to its reception and consumption by examining the interface between these two focuses of interest : the program planning. In the first part, we analyse television production. We develop the strategies, various and sometimes contradictory, develop by the principal actors, publics and private. Whether they are ntionals or foreigners, they actively endeavour into crtv productions, and their action correspond to economical, political and ideo logical stakes. In the second part, we raise issues about television reception, as seen through images and behaviours, both individual or collective, from the publics of yaounde. These representations and behaviours do not allways match with strategies which were at the basis of theproduction. Therefore, there is an inevitable gap between the publics of yaounde and their television, due to a discrepancy between people's expectations and the programs proposed. We conclude with a series of proposals leading to a better match and understanding between cameroonian television and its audience

Full textThe occurrence of a motor disability is a major event that is not limited to corporal dimensions, but also involves social dimensions. Individuals are faced with biographical disruptions characterized by breaches and bifurcations in their lifetrajectories and by the loss of place and role in social life. The occurrence of disability calls for a reorganization of living conditions and of the day-to-day life when returning to their usual environment after a stay in a rehabilitation centre. Experiencing motor disability thus makes it possible to grasp the social dynamics of life trajectories and the resources solicited by persons with motor disability in the process of their social reconstruction.Based on interviews conducted with men and women with motor disabilities and living at home in Yaoundé (Cameroon), this thesis aims at analysing the interactions between motor disability and social environment in the reorganization of their life trajectories and in their different activities following the onset of disability. By adopting a social model of the handicap, it highlights the biographical disruptions and the resources needed in the different trajectories to maintain and adapt their identity. It allows a situated analysis of the mechanisms of production of disability from the experience of individuals

The type or urbanization, the human population density and his occupations, the development of public services, the presence of vegetation, the characteristics of breeding sites water have effects on the specific behaviour of females looking for a breeding site. This leads to a repartition of the positives breeding sites for founded species very different from a quarter to another one. In particular Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and to a lesser degree Aedes aegypti by their very good adaptation to the types of containers occurring in Yaoundé can be considered as urban species when Anopheles gambiea is more dependent of the residual vegetation

Full textComme la plupart des villes africaines, Yaoundé, capitale du Cameroun, est confrontée aux phénomènes d’urbanisation croissante. Cette urbanisation rapide n’est pas accompagnée d’une croissance économique. En fait, le pouvoir d’achat extrêmement bas, le chômage, le sous-emploi, la pauvreté, voire la misère, ont amené une frange importante de la population à inventer de nouvelles solutions pour s’assurer un revenu. C’est alors qu’apparaît le phénomène d’agriculture urbaine et périurbaine. La caractérisation de cette agriculture a mis en évidence une interaction entre les catégories d’acteurs, les types d’espaces, les types de cultures, les produits obtenus et les revenus moyens générés. Il ressort de l’analyse des résultats que cette forme d’agriculture emploie près de 2000 personnes, pour la plupart des jeunes et, surtout, des femmes, dont la moyenne d’âge est de 35 ans. C’est une activité basée principalement dans les bas-fonds marécageux, le bas des pentes, les abords des routes avec une forte pression sur l’espace. Les cultures sont diversifiées et sont à dominance maraîchère, vivrière et floricole. Elles varient en fonction des trois espaces étudiés, à savoir l’auréole urbaine, la zone périurbaine et l’hinterland rural.
L’analyse du système de commercialisation a mis en évidence trois types de circuits à travers lesquels les produits transitent des producteurs aux consommateurs. Ce sont notamment les circuits longs, les circuits courts et les circuits directs. Dans ces circuits de commercialisation, la régulation du marché se réalise au niveau de tous les intervenants. Cela signifie que les prix des produits ne sont pas fixés d’avance, mais varient en fonction de la demande. En ce qui concerne la rentabilité, l’analyse sur les comptes d’exploitation des cultures de céleri, de ndolé et de morelle noire indique que cette agriculture est rentable avec un gain moyen journalier de près de trois euros pour les producteurs. C’est la raison pour laquelle certains maraîchers estiment qu’à la place d’un travail salarial de près de 75euros / mois, ils préfèrent rester dans leur jardin.
Cependant, aucun cadre juridique et réglementaire lié à l’exercice de cette activité n’est disponible. Aucun article de loi ne l’autorise. Nous avons noté également de nombreuses autres contraintes liées à l’organisation des producteurs, aux pratiques, à la structuration et la mise en marché des produits. Ces résultats ont alors d’importantes implications quant à la compréhension des interactions entre les agriculteurs en ville et le monde politique de Yaoundé. Les fonctions multiples de cette activité tel que l’emploi pour les jeunes, les revenus substantiels pour les couches des populations les plus vulnérables, la gestion des déchets urbains et la beauté du paysage étant autant d’attraits qui concourent à son encouragement.
Les stratégies qui visent à susciter l’implication des producteurs urbains dans le développement de la ville de Yaoundé ont été mises en œuvre à travers la CAUPA (Coalition pour la promotion de l’agriculture urbaine et périurbaine en Afrique). L’intégration de ces stratégies dans les schémas directeurs d’aménagements urbains, pourrait contribuer à concilier les défis d'une amélioration du bien-être des populations en quête de survie. Cette thèse met en évidence la nécessité d’une médiation entre les différentes catégories d’acteurs pour une agriculture urbaine et périurbaine de qualité. Les résultats pourront permettre aux décideurs et administrateurs des villes de disposer d‘informations utiles sur l’importance de cette forme d’agriculture qui est, non seulement montante, mais aussi controversée.
SUMMARY:
As in most African cities, Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon, is faced with the phenomenon of urbanization. This leads to socio-economic problems especially in food supply and acquisition of basic necessities. The extremely low purchasing power, unemployment, underemployment, poverty - say misery, brought a significant proportion of the population to invent new solutions to ensure basic income through urban and peri-urban agriculture. The characterization of this agricultural system highlights the interaction between various stakeholders, types of spaces and crops, productivity and average revenue generated. Results show that this agricultural system has generated employment for about 2000 people, mainly youths and especially women, with 35 years average age. The activity is based mainly in lowland floody zones, low slope, landscaping roads with increase land pressure. Vegetables, gardening and flowers are dominant diversified crops noticed in the area. These crops vary from urban, peri-urban and rural areas, three landscape which were studied.
The analysis of the marketing chain show three main types of distribution chains through which products pass from producers to consumers. These include long distribution, short distribution and direct channel. In these channels, the regulation of the market is achieved at the level of all stakeholders. This means that the prices of the products are therefore fixed in advance, and also are functions of demand. Regarding profitability, the analysis on the farmer’s accounts of Celery, Bitter leaf and Black nightshade indicates that this agriculture is profitable with an average daily gain of almost 3 euro per producers. That's why some gardeners believes that instead of a salary of almost 75 euro per month, they prefer to stay in their farm.
However, no legal and regulatory framework related to this activity is available in the case of Yaounde. Also, there are many other constraints related to the organization of producers, practices, structuring and implementation of products in the markets. These results have important implications to the understanding of the interaction between farmers and policy makers. The multiple functions of this activity such as youth employment, income for substantial segments of the most vulnerable populations, urban waste management and the beautification of the landscape is as much attraction that contribute to its promotion.
A strategy to encourage the implication of urban producers in the development of the city of Yaounde has been implemented through CAUPA. The integration of these strategies in urban planners, could help for the challenges of improving people’s welfare. Subsequently, this thesis brings forth the need for a mediation between different stakeholders and contributes to good quality of peri-urban agriculture. The results can therefore enable decision-makers and policy to provide useful information on the importance of this form of agriculture which is not only rising, but also controversial.

Full textIn the Cameroon the rapid and exponential development of ICT has aroused great hope amongst the population especially where the most vulnerable categories are concerned, in particular young people and women who see this information and communication technology as a means to emigrate. Cybermigration is a perfect illustration of the way in which Cameroonians build migratory "cyberstrategies" thanks to ITC. "To look for and find and white man" on the net has become so commonplace that marital cybermigration seems to be a real social problem in this central African country. Thus, this thesis strives to analyse by means of a socio-anthropological perspective this phenomenon which concerns a certain number of Cameroonians from Yaoundé and the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. The empirical approach consisting of semi-direct interviews and life stories answers four main questions which are: Who is a cybermigrant ? How does she manage to emigrate? Why does she emigrate? Which modern information and communication technologies does she use in order to emigrate? In second part, this thesis tries to make sense and describe the marital cybermigration as it is told of by Cameroonian women of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Marital cybermigration is therefore dealt with from two points of view wich are : cybermigration seen from the outside with potential cybermigrant women and cybermigration seen from wikim with cameroonien cybermigrants from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais area

Full textThis research is a contribution to the knowledge of a phenomenon hitherto widespread between States. It is the cooperation. The cooperation object of this study is inter ecclesial life. It concerns a Church of old Christianity, the Church of Lille. France, and a young Church, the Church, the Church of Cameroon. The analysis covers three major periods in the relations between the black Africa and France : before the Second World War, after the Second World War and after the independance of Cameroon. The study shows the availability of the Church of Lille vis-à-vis the missionary Church of Cameroon, when the latter was facing insurmountable difficulties by the only evangelizing action. When the Church of Cameroon was in the grip of rivalry protestant on the question of medical works, Lille, through Ad Lucem, relieved the challenge ! When the Chruch of Cameroon was in prey to the communist ideology during the struggles for the emancipation of Cameroon, Lille served of the Catholic Action specialized. The new era was marked by the advent of the independence of Cameroon, the africanization of hierarchies, the conciliating recommendations, the evolution of attitudes and/or the inability to adapt, the desire to affirmation and finally the disappearance of the various pioneers of aspects f this cooperation. Cooperation in the past suffered by the christians of Cameroon, today, there is a tendency of Christianity of this country to impose the Church of Lille, a new special relationship with Cameroon. These ambitions of recovery observed by the Cameroonian part hold always account of the orientations of the pastoral care in Lille ?

Full textAfrican cities are currently at the heart of many transformations as a result of political dynamics, the search for economic development, the global integration of environmental concerns, the quest for national unity and social cohesion. All these dynamics attract more people from the countryside to the city and thus promote rapid urbanization. This results to urban sprawl and shantytowns which are the juxtaposition of precarious neighborhoods. This mainly questions the capacity of the institutional actors in charge to develop strategies of anticipation in land allocations. The biggest cities (Yaoundé and Douala) of the countryoscillate between the consolidation of an outdated urban planning and the transcription of the sustainable development precepts. However, there remains in this movement an ideological break between the strategic visions of urban development carried by the public authorities (the State) and local urban practices from (urban) populations whose expectations are different. Different forms of traditional appropriation of the latter create an impression of urban rurality shocking the public authorities who desire the world community largely influenced by the precepts of sustainable development. This break according to our analysis, gives to theCameroonian cities, although influenced by the precepts of sustainable development, a morphological segmentation. Also, Western influence is maintained only through financial and sometimes technical aid, meaning that the primary motivation of African states, in a situation of financial precariousness since the crisis of 80s, compared their inclusion in globalenvironmental concerns based on the notion of aid: the African belief in the West-savior. It is therefore important to know the type of sustainability in Cameroon: Which actors for which sustainable city ?

Full textNew field work and petrological studies in the Boumnyebel area has led us to redefine rock types and discuss their bearing on the evolution of the Pan-African fold belt of central Africa. Two units are distinguished. A Palaeoproterozoic unit consists of orthogneisses and amphibolites restricted to the south and southwest of the area studied. It is overlain by a Pan-African unit (nappe) comprised in its lower part of garnet micaschists associated with amphibolites, metagabbros, hornblendites and pyroxenites, and towards its top of garnet + kyanite micaschists locally associated with marble and amphibolites; talcschists occur as discontinuous =30 m thick layers mainly above the lower micaschists. The rock types in the lower part of this nappe suggest active margin environments with detrital input from a nearby continental crust (arc or back-arc context), whereas in the upper part they rather suggest detrital input from a nearby continental crust submitted to erosion. Metamorphism in the Pan-African formations corresponds to amphibolite facies conditions, reaching anatexis to the NW of the area studied (migmatites). The metamorphic peak (syn-D2) is estimated at ~ 650-670°C / ~ 9.5 kbar at ca. 620 Ma (monazite Th-U-Pb data), and the isograds are in normal positions. These data suggest that the thermal peak postdate nappe emplacement. We emphasize that the presence in significant proportions of mafic and ultramafic rocks of tholeiitic affinity in the lower part of the series suggests the existence of an active margin to the North of the Congo craton during the Neoproterozoic

Full textThe failure of industrial investments in developing countries appear as a consequence of the lake of know how transfert, particulary the know how of services. In urban mass transportation, the production, managment and maintaining of equipments prove this observation. But in the present situation, the interaction betwen protagonists is very capital. Public authorities don't perceive that the creation of urban mass transportation institutions is urgent. In these conditions, not the multinational, the main responsible of transfert, nor the managers can work for the general economic interest. There is not a financial interest of them. They can not surmount all the constraints, specially the public authorities one. The way to manage what exist in a context of ressources restriction is to find applicable solutions which could leave to the managers the margin of li berty to work with the preoccupations of the future, and not to be concerned about present interest

Full textThis thesis analyzes healing practices in the Pentecostal churches in beti’s sociocultural context in Yaoundé, particularly in the true Church of God of Cameroon. These Pentecostal churches have been increasingly multiplying across the country since the end of religious restrictions in 1990. This opening corresponds to the period where small businesses activities exploded, even in the religious field, in a situation of economic collapse. Many persons create their own church, with the pretention to break down witchcraft. In the etiological speeches, dreamlike stories emerge as the narrative form preferred by the actors to account for their situation. Witchcraft aetiology reflects the search for well-being, but, more fundamentally, it cannot be understood outside local theories of the word. Dreams details are interesting material that allows us to analyze these theories as well as stakeholders’ expectations. The thesis is organized in seven chapters. The first concerns theoretical and methodological guidelines (chapter 1). Then comes ethnography of contemporary Beti society based on the historical and symbolic influences of the state administration, of schooling and that of Catholic and Protestant Christianity (chapter 2). Nowadays, the rapid expansion of Pentecostalism breaks down the monopoly of the old churches, particularly that of Catholicism in Yaoundé (chapter 3). The dream seems to be an etiological springboard which makes people move, seeking meaning and healing in the Pentecostal churches (Chapter 4). I analyze dream as an ontological medium driving social action. Its interpretations reflects local theories of the world and social transformations. Dreams interpretations fuels the meaning given to the disease (Chapter 5). The family is at the centre of sorcery problems and a space of the creation and the appropriation of dreams’ meaning. I will then try to understand why women are so vulnerable to all sorts of problems in their families and to demonic possession in the Pentecostal churches (Chapter 6). Finally, I will analyze conversion as a healing condition, the meaning and the concrete fruits of healing (Chapter 7).

Full textThe research relates to urban workers in Cameroon. As part of a theoretical inquiry, the manner in which we produce was given a fresh approach, in a new conception of work. To that end, the author has moved away from the tenets of the sociology of work to consider the city as a unit of production of useful services. That made it possible to widen the analysis in terms of work relations and grasp the dynamics of conflict, domination and exploitation, and also of change in the activities covered. The analysis is focussed on the forms employed in urban trades in Cameroon, by showing their characteristics. The decision to give that examination a historical perspective has made it possible to show that some trades have acquired a structuring role in the urban relations of production in Cameroon. That is true of the taxi services trade, which occupies a hegemonic place. Without being anachronistic or ethnocentric, it would appear that this area of work plays the part played by small artisans in English urban centres during the emergence of industrial capitalism in that country as described so well by E.P. Thompson. With their collective industry institutions, these workers have had a structuring role in the transformation of relations with work, and have provided leadership in social struggles. This ethnographic study in Yaoundé took place in a social atmosphere of apparent stability. Indeed, from the people’s protest movements of ‘dead cities’ in the early 1990s to the ‘hunger riots’ in 2008, Cameroon was experiencing a situation of permanent insurrection. When the author toured the country in 2010, the protests seem to have died down. That was certainly a forced break, in the face of violent repression by the government. The field work was therefore carried out during that apparent lull in 2010-2011, 2012 and 2015.The aim was to study the issue of the work and social reproduction of urban workers in Cameroon. What are its forms and determinants ? How has it changed in the course of the years since the start of development under colonial rule up to the contemporary period of structural adjustment ? How do the people get organised when they are excluded from the system of ordinary law ? The author believes that to address those questions, it is of relevance to use a sociohistorical approach that articulates work relations of class, race, gender and also generation

We wanted to notice if for these women it exists an acculturation and if cultural identities arose in various fields. The aim is a better support of these women. The studied fields are the following: social, family, communal, health, religious. We carried out a field in France at the Lariboisière hospital (Paris), and in Cameroon. Our sample in France consists of 40 HIV positive cameroonian women. An interview was carried out, based on a questionnaire approaching the enumerated fields. A field of observation was carried out in Yaounde in various places which support HIV positive people. These data could be compared with those obtained in France. Each speaker is sole, so it's difficult to generalize. Nevertheless, let us notice the importance of the religion to the everyday life, and the existence of an intrication between the traditional religion and the revealed religions. In the same way, the tradition through medicine and of wichcraft persist. Three mode of interpretation of the disease seem to coexist, each person interviewed is privileging one: medical, religious, witchcraft. The concepts of sin and transgression of interdict seem very present. The rumor and the rejection of the African community are feared. There are a financial link with the family in the country, and for many an emotional one because of children's presence. We propose in a future research to look further into thanks to accounts of life the religious field by developing the image of God

The competition between imported and local flesh chicken would have been the cause of the collapse of many pultry hysbandry and the loss of several employments. In the absence of information on the evolution of food habits and trend of local poultry sector, this thesis analyses micro-economic determinants of chicken consumption in urban aera of developing countries on the basis of case studies in Yaoundé (Cameroun) and Port-au-Prince (Haïti). In the first chapter, we implant a partial equilibrium model of chicken market in Cameroun, which clarifies the nature of earnings and economic losses consecutive to epening of borders. In the second chapter, we describe the methodology of investigation in both countries. The main results show that local flesh chicken and imported chicken present different attributes to which the consumers are sensitive. Whereas in Cameroon, the local flesh chicken and imported chicken present different attributes to which the consumers are sensitive. Whereas in Cameroon, the local flesh chicken breeding in semi-industrialized farms continues to be preferred and consumed by households with high income, in Haiti, this chicken has practically disappeared and the consumers have adopted the I mported chicken who proves to be more pratical and more accessible because it is sold by pieces. The chapter 3 introduces a bibliographic review of micro economic approaches of food consumption

Full textThe evaluation of environmental and economic impact of urban waste management systems is the objective of this work. The case of Yaoundé is analyzed in this report. Four systems of management have been undertaken as basis for the analyses. System 1 is the traditional collection and landfill disposal. While system 2 the biogas produced in the landfill is recuperated to produce electricity. In systems 3 and 4, in addition to the collection, we have introduced a centralized composting or biogas plant before the landfill disposal of refuse. Live Cycle Assessment (LCA), has proven more adapted to evaluate these four systems. The stages which have been studied are: the collection the transportation, the processing, the transportation of compost on a 70 distance km the landfill disposal of refuse. The analysis of the different outputs has allowed counting six impact class allocated by the waste management systems studied. These impact classes constitute the environmental criteria taking into account the multicriteria analysis of the four systems. Thus, at the environmental level, system 2 is released as the most effective. The economic analysis of the four systems is based on two criteria: investment costs and management costs. Here also, system 2 appears to be the most" economic, contrarily to system 3 and 4 that necessitate 5 to 10 times more investment for their realization and a management cost 2 to 3 times higher. System 2 is released as the most effective at the environmental and economic level in the context of Yaoundé. Therefore, traditional collection, landfill disposal and biogas recuperation to produce electricity is preferable

Full textThis Phd thesis focuses on public policy instruments for urban planning in the cities of Douala and Yaoundé. It is part of the dynamics of political research in Africa. It questions the trajectory of the state through its deployment in a concrete area of public policy, which is urban planning.Two geographical locations were mobilized to carry out this study, namely Douala the economic capital of the country and Yaounde the political capital.46 interviews, the collection of archival and working documents, as well as the non-participant observation were used to build an analysis of the political sociology based on the relations between the rulers and the ruled. The main results of the study concern a form of reappropriation of public action instruments and a contextualization of urban planning based on the specific realities of each territory. The development of public policy instruments as well as their mobilization within the framework of planning evolves according to the nature of the state. This instrument-based approach provides a comprehensive view of the urban planning sector and the development policies developed by Cameroon from the colonial era till date. This urban planning policy, which emerges in the colonial context, is primarily a territorial before becoming sectored policy with the establishment of the FIDES plans. The post-independent state will inherit this sector orientation. Faced with recurrent difficulties and considering the contemporary challenges of urban governance, the trend is now towards a (re) territorialization of this public action
