Full textAbstract:
The success of the promotion policies of the Medicines Derived from Traditional Pharmacopoeia (MDTPs) requires a regulation that is adapted to realities and guarantees their quality, efficiency and safeness. This study aims to analyze the legal texts and the current guiding principles obtained from the heads of the departments in charge of traditional medicine in Burkina Faso and Benin.
 The documents collected from the two countries have been analyzed comparatively and also in relation to WAEMU regulations and the WHO recommendations.
 Several texts, dealing with the activity, products, facilities and advertisement related to traditional medicine, have been recorded in both countries. The regulation battery of Burkina Faso is more extensive than that of Benin, especially on traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia facilities. In addition, unlike biomedicines, the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the West African Health Organization (WAHO) have not yet passed community laws on MDTPs.
 To limit disparities in legal frameworks between the countries of the same sub-region, it is important that the WAEMU or WAHO be involved in the harmonization of pharmaceutical regulations by setting Community rules in the domain.

Full textAbstract:
Local people use corpses and organs of wild animals for medical care and mystical practices. The study aims to inventory the mammal’s species which organs are used for the treatment of some diseases or the implementation of some mystical practices. It was an ethnozoological survey which took place from September to December 2018 in 11 markets with 18 traditional practitioners selling wild mammal products. In total, 24 species of wild mammals have been identified and 16 organs listed as medicine for cure 21 diseases. Some of these organs are also involved in 7 mystical practices of local people. Animal parts such as the skin (51.30%) and the bones / the horns (16.23%) are the most sought after on the markets. Traders sources are mainly from Burkina Faso (92.57%) and to a lesser extent from Niger (7.43%). Almost all the concerned species are protected (22 species) in Burkina Faso. Among these species, 4 are vulnerable according to the IUCN criteria. The obvious consequence of these traditional needs for corpses and parts of wild mammals collected by local communities is undoubtedly the depletion of biodiversity. Therefore, this requires the application of conservation rules which guarantee better exploitation of these biological resources.Keywords: Biodiversity, wildlife, traditional use, animal’s organ, ethnozoology

Full textAbstract:
Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides is a West African forest tree that is used for example against malaria and sickle cell anemia in Burkina Faso. The goal of this study was to analyze the genetic and morphological diversity of the species within wild populations in Burkina Faso, where it is potentially under threat due to the uncontrolled harvesting of its roots. Seventy-two trees from three different sites in Southwestern Burkina Faso were analyzed. Each tree was characterized by 12 traits specifying the period of flowering and maturity as well as morphological characteristics of the stem, leaves, and seeds. The molecular analysis was performed using two plastid DNA regions (psbA-trnH and trnL-trnF) and two nuclear regions (GBSSI and ITS) to identify the genetic diversity of the species for further development of a management plan for ex situ reproduction and in situ conservation. We found variability in morphological traits correlating with the geographic distance of the study sites. The molecular analysis, in contrast, revealed hardly any genetic variability among the tested trees and no population structure. Whether the differences in morphological traits are caused by different environmental conditions or by genetic variability in genes linked to morphological traits needs further testing. The apparent lack of genetic differentiation suggests that germplasm throughout the study region is suitable for planting in conservation actions. Efficient conservation management should involve local communities, especially those interested in traditional medicine.

Full textAbstract:
La médecine et la pharmacopée traditionnelles ouest-africaine constituent encore aujourd'hui, l'unique moyen de prise en charge des maladies pour des milliers de personnes vivant en zone rurale et même en zone urbaine. Cette réalité est souvent présentée comme découlant uniquement de la faiblesse du système allopathique de santé, cependant, elle peut être le fruit d'un choix socioculturel. En effet, les conceptions traditionnelles des maladies, c’est-à-dire la distinction entre maladies naturelles et maladies provoquées influencent encore le choix thérapeutique dans les communautés africaines surtout en zone rurale. Pendant longtemps, ce retour à la médecine et à la pharmacopée traditionnelle s'est fait sans la mise en place des mesures d'encadrement et d'accompagnement nécessaires. Ce qui engendre d’énormes risques sanitaires. De plus, la multiplication des bio-prospections sans contrôle des États a conduit à une forte croissance des appropriations illicites des savoirs tradimédicaux. Cet état des faits a fait émerger au sein des institutions internationales compétentes de nouvelles questions : celles des droits des communautés locales et autochtones sur leurs ressources et leurs savoirs tradimédicaux associés, et la nécessité de la construction d'un système équitable d'exploitation des ressources et des savoirs médicaux traditionnels à des fins de recherches et de développement. Les États burkinabè et ghanéen ont, pour pallier ces difficultés, adopté des législations encadrant les pratiques traditionnelles de soins ainsi que la production et la mise sur leurs marchés nationaux de médicaments traditionnels et néo traditionnels<br>Traditional medicine and pharmacopeia are still nowadays for thousands of people in West Africa, the unique healthcare solution. If this fact is often considered as arising solely from the weakness of the allopathic health system, it could also be a result of socio-cultural choices. Indeed, people especially in rural areas are strongly influenced by traditional vision and beliefs about diseases’ origins, which could have natural or induced causes in this traditional conception. For a long time, this resort to traditional medicine was done without the supervision and support of the appropriate measures and regulations. This has generated high public healthcare risks. Moreover, the multiplication of bioprospection’s without states control has led to a sharp increase in illicit appropriation of traditional medicine knowledge for the purposes of pharmaceutical innovation. This has created new issues in the South, especially about local populations’ intellectual property on their traditional knowledge. Highlighting these facts has raised new concerns within the competent international and regional institutions: the need of protection for local and indigenous communities’ rights over their genetic resources and associated tradimedical knowledge, and the need of building a fair system of exploitation of resources and medical indigenous knowledge for purposes of research and development. The Burkinabe and Ghanaian states have, in order to overcome these issues, adopted legislations to regulate traditional care practices as well as the production and placement on their national markets of traditional and neo-traditional medicines

Full textAbstract:
Le médicament est un bien de santé ; il est un élément incontournable d’un droit à la santé efficace. Il doit être de bonne qualité et son accès doit se faire selon les besoins. S’interroger sur la sécurité sanitaire et l’accès aux médicaments c’est tenter de concilier, droit, économie, éthique et politique. Dans les PED, les faiblesses des revenus et de la capacité de production de médicaments sont des facteurs qui perturbent la mise sur le marché et la surveillance du médicament. Une fois sur le marché, sa distribution est également perturbée par des circuits parallèles illicites difficilement maîtrisables. Malgré les efforts des autorités politiques pour rendre le médicament accessible, des difficultés subsistent. Ces difficultés sont liées pour partie au droit des brevets. En effet, la protection du médicament confère un monopole d’exploitation à son titulaire qui fixe les prix en dehors de toute concurrence. Ces difficultés ont conduit à l’assouplissement du droit des brevets, mais l’usage de ces flexibilités n’est pas aisé pour les PED. La recherche de la santé pour tous et l’économie procèdent de logiques distinctes et le concept du médicament comme bien public demeure un idéal à réaliser, ce qui appelle sans doute à une relecture du droit des brevets<br>Drug is a public good of health and an essential element of the right to effective health. It has to be of good quality and its access should be made according to the needs. By questioning the safety and the access to medicines, we attempt to reconcile, law, economics, ethics and politics. In developing countries, the weaknesses of income and the limited production capacity of drugs are factors that alter the placing on the market and the supervision of medication. Once on the market, illegal parallel circuits that are difficult to control also disturb its distribution. Despite the efforts of the political authorities to make drugs available, many challenges remain. These difficulties are partly related to patent law. Indeed, the protection of the drugs confers a monopoly on its holder, which sets prices without any competition. These difficulties have led to the relaxation of patent law, but the use of these flexibilities is not easy for developing countries. The pursuit of health for all and the economic system respond to different logics and the concept of drug as a public good remains an ideal to be achieved, which probably calls for a rereading of the patent law

Le présent travail a porté sur l’évaluation des propriétés anti-inflammatoires et anticancéreuses de Agelanthus dodoneifolius (Loranthaceae), communément appelée «gui africain». Cette plante hémiparasite est utilisée en médecine traditionnelle africaine pour le traitement de pathologies chroniques telles que l’asthme, l’hypertension, des gastroentérites et le cancer. Actuellement, les maladies chroniques représentent un problème mondial de santé publique. En effet, elles constituent la première cause de mortalité dans le monde surtout dans les pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire. <p><p>Cette étude a été réalisée dans le but d’apporter une validation scientifique quant à certaines utilisations traditionnelles de Agelanthus dodoneifolius. <p>Pour évaluer l’effet anti-inflammatoire de Agelanthus dodoneifolius, nous avons testé les différentes fractions de la plante sur la production des espèces réactives de l’oxygène, la libération et l’activité spécifique de la myéloperoxydase (MPO), enzyme libérée par le neutrophile au cours de la phagocytose pour détruire les microorganismes. L’identification et la quantification des composés a été faite grâce à une combinaison des méthodes chromatographiques, spectrophotométriques et spectrométriques. L’activité anticancéreuse de Agelanthus dodoneifolius a consisté, d’abord, à déterminer l’effet d’inhibition de croissance de diverses fractions de la plante, de la quercétine ainsi que de ses dérivés sur des lignées cellulaires cancéreuses. Nous avons ensuite déterminé les effets de la quercétine sur l’activité de plus de 300 kinases. <p><p>Les résultats obtenus montrent qu’Agelanthus dodoneifolius est capable de moduler les activités biologiques des neutrophiles. En effet, le décocté aqueux et les fractions organiques de la plante inhibent de manière dose-dépendante la production des espèces réactives de l’oxygène, la dégranulation du neutrophile et l’activité spécifique de la myéloperoxydase. Nous avons pu identifier et quantifier dix composés polyphénoliques dont quatre acides phénoliques :l’acide gallique, l’acide coumarique, l’acide chlorogénique et l’acide ellagique et six flavonoïdes :la quercétine, le kaempférol, la catéchine, l’isoquercitrine ou quercétine 3-O-glucoside, la rutine et la miquelianine ou quercétine-3-O-glucuronide. <p>Concernant l’activité anticancéreuse, les résultats montrent que seules les fractions à l’éther diéthylique et à l’acétate d’éthyle ont une activité antiproliférative. La quercétine a des effets inhibiteurs de croissance, cytostatiques et présente un large spectre d’activité sur plusieurs kinases surexprimées dans certains cancers. <p><p>En conclusion, l’ensemble de ces résultats constitue des bases scientifiques qui pourraient justifier certaines utilisations traditionnelles de Agelanthus dodoneifolius. <p>À notre connaissance, cette étude est la première à évaluer d’une part l’effet, in vitro, des différentes fractions de Agelanthus dodoneifolius sur des neutrophiles stimulés et sur la MPO et d’autre part l’effet inhibiteur de croissance de lignées cellulaires cancéreuses par certaines fractions de la plante. En outre, cette étude a permis pour la première fois d’identifier et de quantifier des composés polyphénoliques dans Agelanthus dodoneifolius. Les nombreuses propriétés de ces composés, notamment celles anti-inflammatoires et anticancéreuses, peuvent expliquer en partie les résultats reportés dans ce travail.<p><p>This work focused on evaluating anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of Agelanthus dodoneifolius (Loranthaceae), commonly called "African mistletoe".

Indeed, they are the leading cause of death worldwide, especially in countries with low and middle income.<p>The study was conducted to provide scientific validation for some traditional uses of Agelanthus dodoneifolius.<p><p>To characterize the anti-inflammatory activity of Agelanthus dodoneifolius, we tested the different fractions of the plant on reactive oxygen species production, release and the specific activity of myeloperoxidase, an enzyme released by neutrophils during phagocytosis to destroy microorganisms. The identification and quantification of compounds were made through a combination of chromatographic, spectrophotometric and spectrometric techniques. The anticancer activity of Agelanthus dodoneifolius consisted, first, to determine, the antiproliferative effect of fractions of the plant, quercetin and its derivatives on cancer cell lines. Then, we determined the effects of quercetin on the activity of more than 300 kinases.<p><p>The results show that Agelanthus dodoneifolius is capable of modulating the biological activities of neutrophils. In fact, the decoction aqueous and organic fractions of the plant inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the production of reactive oxygen species, degranulation of neutrophils and specific activity of myeloperoxidase. <p>We were able to identify and quantify ten polyphenolic compounds including four phenolic acids: gallic acid, coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid and ellagic acid and six flavonoids: quercetin, kaempferol, catechin, isoquercitrin or quercetin 3-O-glucoside, rutin and miquelianin or quercetin-3-O-glucuronide.<p>Regarding the anticancer activity, the results show that only fractions with diethyl ether and ethyl acetate have antiproliferative activity. Quercetin has antiproliferative and cytostatic effects and presents a broad spectrum of activity on several kinases overexpressed in certain cancers.<p><p>In conclusion, all these findings are scientific basis that could justify some traditional uses of Agelanthus dodoneifolius. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the effect firstly, by in vitro tests, of the different fractions of Agelanthus dodoneifolius on stimulated neutrophils and the MPO and secondly the growth inhibitory effect of cancer cell lines by certain fractions. Also, this study is the first to identify and quantify the phenolic compounds in Agelanthus dodoneifolius. The many properties of these compounds, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer, may partly explain the results reported in the present work.<br>Doctorat en Sciences biomédicales et pharmaceutiques<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objectif d’appréhender au Burkina Faso les conditions de genre qui déterminent le rapport des hommes et des femmes au médicament, entendu comme produit pharmaceutique et plus largement objet socialement reconnu comme tel. L’étude repose sur une ethnographie fine des pratiques de recours aux médicaments à Ouagadougou, abordés suivant trois axes. L’analyse des différences entre hommes et des femmes dans l’accès aux traitements médicamenteux, biomédicaux et alternatifs, est d’abord proposée pour une maladie courante, le paludisme, maladie endémique dans cette région. A partir des contenus des pharmacies domestiques, les liens entre les représentations des traitements et celles du paludisme, l’histoire des choix thérapeutiques entre automédication et recours à une prise en charge, l’origine des médicaments, sont explicités. On découvre comment les conditions de genre peuvent déterminer le rapport des personnes au médicament. Ensuite, l’analyse des déterminants socio-culturels de l’accès des hommes et des femmes aux antirétroviraux part du constat de l’importance de la présence et de la participation féminines sur les lieux de prise en charge des PvVIH, alors que les hommes y sont généralement minoritaires. Les différences dans les pratiques, précisément documentées, sont expliquées par des représentations, normes et valeurs liées au genre, inspirées par la culture moose.Enfin, l’analyse genrée de l’utilisation de stimulants sexuels permet de prendre en compte un domaine — les relations sexuelles — où habituellement s’exerce particulièrement la domination masculine. L’étude montre les enjeux de positionnement des individus vis-à-vis de leur conjoint ou leur entourage, l’utilisation des attributs de genre par les acteurs de la vente de ces produits, et l’évolution des définitions de la masculinité et la féminité, dans un monde de plus en plus globalisé.Ces analyses du rapport des personnes au médicament reposent sur des collectes d’informations systématiques : un inventaire des produits identifiés à Ouagadougou dans le traitement du paludisme, et dans le domaine de la sexualité, des entretiens qualitatifs répétés, des observations, dans le cadre d’une approche ethnographique. L’analyse des différences de genre dans l’accès à l’objet thérapeutique et ses usages permet de comprendre les modalités d’influence des rapports sociaux de sexe en matière de santé dans une société fortement influencée par la culture moose, ainsi que leur évolution. Cette analyse aborde un aspect essentiel de l’accès aux traitements en Afrique de l’ouest<br>This PhD dissertation aims at considering gender aspects in Burkina Faso that shape men’s and women’s relationships with medicines, understood as pharmaceuticals, including objects which are socially considered so. The study is based on an ethnography of practices and uses of medicines in Ouagadougou, following three directions. The analysis of differences between men and women in access to pharmaceutical –biomedical and alternative- treatments is first presented for malaria, a common disease, endemic in West Africa. From the content of home pharmacies, the relationships between representations of treatments and perceptions of malaria, the story of therapeutic choice between selfmedication and care–seeking, and the origin of pharmaceuticals, are described. This part shows how gender condition may influence the relationship between persons and medicines. Then, the analysis of sociocultural determinants of access to antiretrovirals for men and women starts with the observation of an important presence and participation of women on HIV/AIDS care sites, where men are usually a minority. Differences observed in practices are precisely documented and explained by representations, norms and values related to gender, inspired by moose culture.At last, a gendered analysis of the utilisation of sexual enhancers allows to consider a field — sexual relationships— where male domination is particularly present. The study shows issues for persons about positioning in relationships with tehir partner or significant others, the use of gender attributes by salesmen, and the evolution of the definitions of masculinity and femininity, in a more and more global world.These analyzes of relationships between individuals and medicines are based on systematic data collection : an inventory of medicines identified in Ouagadougou for malaria treatment and for sexuality enhancement, repeated qualitative interviews, and observations held within an ethnographic approach. The analysis of gender differences in access to medicines and in uses of pharmaceutical permits to understand the ways gender determines health in a society influenced by moose culture, and the evolution of gender relationships at a more general level. This analysis deals with an important aspect of access to treatment in West Africa

The West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) seeks at changing the weak intra-regional trade and the strong disparities between countries. How to achieve such an objective with the heterogeneous profiles of countries such as Côte D'Ivoire (Regional pole) and Burkina Faso (one of the poorest) ? This is an important issue at stake. Intra-African migration flows is one of the best arguments for regional integration in the face of negligible goods and investment flows. The presence of migrants makes Burkina Faso a "share-holder" in Côte d'Ivoire's economic success. Based on the economic theories of migration, the dissertation presents a very comprehensive and detailed empirical analysis of changes in factors mobility inside WAEMU, with particular emphasis on the two. Representative countries. Migrations concern rural populations and to deal with the microeconomic issues, the study used survey data collected in the Burkinabè Sahel. .<br>L'Union Economique et Monétaire Ouest africaine (UEMOA) vise à renforcer l'intégration commerciale de la région et à réduire les disparités entre les pays membres. Comment atteindre ces objectifs avec une si forte hétérogénéité des membres comme le montre l'exemple de la Côte d'Ivoire (pôle régional) et du Burkina Faso (parmi les plus pauvres) ?Il s'agit d'un enjeu essentiel. Les migrations régionales en Afrique représentent le meilleur instrument d'intégration face à la faiblesse des autres types d'intégration (commerce et investissements) et la forte présence des burkinabè en Côte d'Ivoire fait du Burkina Faso un "actionnaire" intégral des succès ivoiriens. En se basant sur les théories économiques de la migration, cette thèse analyse l'impact des modifications de la mobilité des facteurs à l'intérieur de l'UEMOA, en mettant l'accent sur ces deux pays représentatifs. Leurs migrations concernent essentiellement les populations rurales et afin d'examiner les différents enjeux, l'analyse repose sur des données collectées dans le Sahel au Burkina Faso. . .

Full textAbstract:
Notre thèse porte sur les institutions royales des Mossi de l'actuel Burkina Faso. Elle analyse les dynamiques politiques, sociales, religieuses et culturelles qui expliquent leur pérennité. Notre recherche couvre une période allant de la fin du XVe siècle, moment où apparaissent les premières formes d'organisation étatique dans le Bassin de la Volta Blanche, à 1991, date de l'instauration de l'actuelle IVe République. Notre travail vise à rendre compte de l'imagination politique dont on fait preuve les sociétés mossi et leurs chefs : les naaba. Nous entendons déconstruire le concept de « tradition » trop facilement employé pour caractériser les formes d'organisation socio-politique africaines. Au contraire, l'histoire des Mossi révèle des dynamiques qui ont conduit à la formation puis à l'affirmation de l'idée d'État dans cette partie de l’Afrique. Nous analysons ainsi tour à tour la création des États mossi de la fin du XVe siècle à la fin du XIXe siècle, puis les processus d’hybridation politique et social qui ont été favorisés par la présence coloniale française. Les naaba, de leur côté, ont opéré un « tri » dans les formes de modernité induites par cette dernière. Enfin, nous rendons compte de la formation de l’État-nation qui, mené par les nouvelles élites africaines à partir de 1958, a été engagée soit en réaction contre les chefferies « traditionnelles », soit avec leur concours, mais sans que jamais leur statut ne soit officiellement défini au sein de la République<br>Our thesis focuses on the royal mossi institutions of the current Burkina Faso. It analyzes the political, social, religious and cultural changes wich explain their preservation. Our research covers a period wich begin from the late 15th century, when the first forms of state organization was born in the White Volta Basin, to the birth of the current 4th Republic in 1991. Our work aims to report the political imagination of Mossi people and its rulers : the naaba. This study is an opportunity to deconstruct a concept of "tradition" too easily used to characterize the social and political organizations in Africa. On the contrary, the history of the Mossi reveals some dynamics that led to the formation of the idea of state in this part of Africa. We analyze the creation and the strengthening of the royal states from the late 15th century to the late 19th century, then the political hybridization process induced by french colonization. We show that naaba were able to make a selection in the forms of 'modernity' imposed by the colonial rule. A final section focuses on the formation of the nation-state from 1945 to 1991. We show how the new African elite tried to build a community of citizens, sometimes by tackling head on the Mossi chiefs – often considered by them as a dangerous opposition force –, sometimes by trying to reconcile them in order to facilitate the administration of the territory and the mobilization of the people from the political center. However, politicans in power could not resolve the issue of their official status within the Republic

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare the nutritional status of a rural population of Mossi people in Burkina Faso during the pre- and post-harvest seasons. Comparisons were made between the sample population and the American population, between the pre- and post-harvest seasons, between males and females in the sample population and between the various age groups in the sample population.
This nutritional assessment consisted of collecting demographical information, anthropometrical measurements such as weight and height, a clinical assessment to evaluate physiological signs of nutritional deficiencies and a food frequency questionnaire to describe the dietary practices of the population. Due to the potential risks of handling human blood, urine and feces, biochemical analyses were not performed in this study. Special attention was given to the nutritional problems most common in Africa: protein energy malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency, iron deficiency and goiter.
Adults in this study had an average body mass index of 19.1, classifying the adult population as "underweight". The population of American adults, however, has a tendency toward a body mass index in the slightly overweight category. The BMI range of adults in the study population was 12.9 to 27.8. A total of 36.9% of the adult population presented with some level of protein energy malnutrition while only 2.7% were slightly obese.
Seventy percent of children were below the 50th percentile on the 2000 Centers for Disease Control weight-for-height growth chart. A third of all children were below the 3rd percentile of weight-for-height. The vast majority of children in this study had a weight-for-height below the median, or "average", American child. The mean percent of median body weight-for-height for the child population in the lean season was 85.2% indicating that the median child in this sample population was mildly wasted. The mean percent of median weight-for-height rose to 94.6% in the post-harvest season indicating that the median child of the sample population was "normal" concerning wasting status.
The results of this study indicate that this rural population of Mossi people was less well-nourished than their American counterpart and that their nutritional status differed based on season (F=[4,177] 4.77, p=.03 for adults and F=[4,51] 8.56, p=.005 for children) but not gender (F=[ 4,177] .04, p=.83 for adults and chi square= 4.37, p=.22, df=3 for children) or age group for adults (r=.l 0, p=.29). In children, nutritional status was based on age group (but contrary to the expected outcome) with prepubescent children having lower weight-for-height percentiles than the under-five population (chi square = 40.34, p=.02, df=24). Nutritional status improved as predicted during the postharvest, or plentiful, season. Due to the lack of biochemical analyses, the potential vitamin and mineral deficiencies indicated in the brief physical examination were not confirmed. Vitamin A deficiency was the most likely nutrient deficiency; symptoms occurred in 51% of the population, primarily in adults and older children. PEM, although indicated by the anthropometric measures to affect 37.1% of the adult population and 55.4% of the child population, did not greatly manifest itself in clinical symptoms. The incidence of iron deficiency anemia was also relatively low with only 7% of the population presenting with pale conjunctivae, a potential, but non-specific sign of iron deficiency anemia. The goiter rate was also very low with only two cases occurring during the post-harvest season.

Full textAbstract:
In the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso, grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the major cereal crop used to produce the traditional beer commonly called dolo. Improvement of the dolo chain supply that requires quantity and quality grain for dolo production to improve the supply chain constitutes a big challenge for processors and police-makers. To that end, studies were conducted (1) to determine the best cropping practice to optimize grain yields and grain quality for IRAT9 and Framida (two red grain sorghum varieties) for dolo production, through experiments combining water management techniques and fertilizer treatments and conducted from 2003 to 2005, (2) to evaluate sorghum malt and dolo quality criteria and parameters affecting quality and (3) to assess costs and profits of malt and traditional beer (dolo) production through surveys conducted from December 2006 through January 2007.
Results indicated that combination of water management techniques and fertilizer treatments largely influenced grain yield production and grain quality of the two red grain sorghum varieties. The best cropping system to optimize grain yield of Framida and IRAT9 was the use of tied-ridges and application of microdose with additional phosphorus and nitrogen. Tie-ridging technique produced the highest yield benefit of 241 kg ha-1 for Framida and 395 kg ha-1. Microdose with additional phosphorus and nitrogen produced the highest grain yield increases from 420 to 756 kg ha-1 for Framida and from 812 to 1346 kg ha-1 for IRAT9. Previous studies suggested a diastatic power of at least 70 mg of maltose equivalent per g of dry malt weight per minute for commercially acceptable sorghum malt in Burkina Faso, though the diastatic power of grain sorghum malt produced under traditional conditions was found to be 53.13 mg of maltose equivalent per g of dry malt weight per minute. Results from these studies indicate that for Framida the combination of water management techniques such as scarifying, tie-ridging, manual zai, mechanized zai or dry soil tillage with application of microdose + additional 20 kg P ha-1 and 30 kg N ha-1
produced a sorghum malt with higher diastatic power than the commercially acceptable one (Table 4.4) . For IRAT9, this targeted dp is only achieved in an agronomic practice combining scarifying and microdose + additional 20 kg P ha-1 and 30 kg N ha-1 (Table 4.5). Production of sorghum grain and malt with the needed characteristics for high dolo quality would be the use of water management techniques that sufficiently improve soil water conditions in combination with a microdose application with additional phosphorus and nitrogen to provide sufficient nutrients and particularly nitrogen to the crop.
The malt and traditional beer (dolo) quality assessment study indicated that the major quality criteria for malt quality assessment were perceived to be taste (82% of respondents) and presence/absence of roots in the malt (76%). Taste (82%), alcohol content (73%) and wort sufficiently cooked (63%) were perceived as major criteria for the dolo quality assessment. The major parameters affecting malt quality were perceived to be malt production period (100% of respondents), proportions of grain and the amount of water entering malting (100%), presence of pesticide residues in the malting grains (62%) and age of grain (64%). Processing method (100%), yeast source (100%), proportions of the components (crushed grain, water, mucilage, yeast) entering dolo production (97%), malt quality (97%), wort temperature at time of inoculation (96%), amount of energy available for cooking wort and sediment boiling time (92%), quality of mucilage (78%), malt with non-sweet taste (75%), presence/absence of roots in the malt (73%) and ease of filtering crushed malt (64%) were perceived as major parameters affecting the dolo quality.
The economic study showed differences in costs, sales and profits in the dolo chain from one group of members to another and from one category to another within each group. The study also indicated that, though equipment and raw materials were readily available throughout the year, their high cost limited accessibility and acquisition. Actions must be undertaken by policy-makers and developers to make credit available for farmers to produce quality sorghum grain and women processors to purchase equipment needed for malt and dolo processing, conservation and distribution, thus increasing profits. Other
important aspects to consider when designing programs to improve the dolo supply chain were the organization of malt and dolo production and marketing systems and suitable training programs to the benefit of all members to improve production skills and increase profit per unit cost in all dolo activities. Results from this study will help in the improvement of the dolo supply chain in Burkina Faso by providing more reliable information for (1) development of best cropping practices to improve grain quality, and providing better selection criteria for sorghum breeding programs, (2) development of training programs for efficient dolo brewing processes and (3) development of training programs to improve marketing systems and skills for chain members. It is expected that results from this study would further help increase the economic potential of sorghum in Burkina Faso and neighboring countries since a commercialized traditional product has a greater chance of being popular and culturally acceptable than an exotic or novel product.<br>Ph.D. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg 2012.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter recounts the early life and death of Gandah, a naa or 'chief', of Birifu, a dispersed settlement of traditional mud-walled compounds located near the bank of the Black Volta River in the northwestern corner of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast. It narrates the final stages of Gandah's life as a renowned healer and accumulator of ritual 'medicines'. The chapter investigates how Gandah's story encapsulated key themes in the history of death and the dead in the Northern Territories in the first half of the twentieth century. This was a region that was in many ways quite distinct from the Akan forest and Gold Coast to the south. Historically, connections between the Akan world and the peoples of the middle Volta savannas did exist. Yet in terms of ecology, culture and political structure, the savanna, as the Akan perceived it, was another realm. The chapter outlines the emergence of a complex of kingdoms forged by horse-riding migrants who from the fifteenth century entered the savannas of the Volta basin straddling present-day Burkina Faso and northern Ghana.

Full textAbstract:
This study is inscribed in the framework of the valorization of traditional kitchen utensils recycled from aluminum waste in Burkina Faso. In fact, these traditional kitchen utensils made of recycled aluminum alloys occupy a very important place in Burkina Faso’s kitchen. The effect of foods for consumption on its local utensils was studied using the non-stationary technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. For this purpose, a sample of utensil has been deducted on traditional production site. The corrosion behavior of the recycled aluminum alloy ok know chemical composition was evaluated by analyzing the impedance spectra obtained at the open circuit potential, in the salt media titrated at 3 g·L−1 and rice. Modeling electrical properties by using of a simple equivalent circuit made it possible to interpret the results obtained by impedance spectroscopy. The results showed a susceptibility to pitting corrosion and were confirmed by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method.

Full textAbstract:
The World Heritage site at Loropéni is the best-preserved of about a dozen large quadrangular sites enclosed by stone walls in the southwest of modern Burkina Faso. They are located mostly in the modern Départment of Loropéni a short distance west of the Black Volta river in the Savannah region, roughly midway between the river Niger and the southern edge of the Sahara and the forest belt close to the Atlantic south coast of western Africa (Fig. 15.1). Historically this region is crossed by the major north–south trade routes, linking the trans-Saharan trade of North Africa with the coastal regions. The area close to the sites has been gold-producing, with the mineral extracted from sedimentary deposits mainly by small-scale workings (Kiéthega 1983; Perinbam 1988); and it supports a modest agriculture with millet, sorghum and cotton among its principal products. It is occupied by several ethnic groups, notably the Lobi and the Gan, who, at the start of the colonial period a century ago, and still partly today, could be described as having a village-based social organisation and practising traditional religion (Labouret 1931; Père 1988; 2004).

Full textAbstract:
The border area of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso is a site of endemic violence. The area is punctuated by anti-state attacks, the targeted killing of traditional chiefs, and attacks on markets and other socioeconomic convening locales that otherwise serve as central mechanisms for the preservation of normalized intercommunal interactions. In addition, foreign military interventions and asymmetric insurgent warfare pit multiple state and non-state actors equipped with heavy weaponry against one another, adding another level of insecurity and threat to local communities. Community-based armed groups (CBAGs) of Fulani and Tuareg ethnicity have aligned themselves with outside actors carrying out operations in the region out of choice, coercion, or in some cases both. Building on other research reports in RESOLVE’s Community-Based Armed Groups Series, this report explores local perceptions regarding the nature and impact of the violence in southwestern Niger. The report provides a summary of understanding of ongoing conflict dynamics from the most impacted communities and an insight on the knowledge and attitudes around actors participating in the violence. It hopes to inform efforts to bring an end to the violence and increase understanding of participating actors.
