Abstract:
Within the framework of this research, the complex geological history of the Pan African-Volta basin has been systematically reconstructed. Based on a broad review of literature and new data, 5 stages of geological-tectonic development have been identified. For the first time a systematic review of the mineral potential of the Pan-African Volta Basin was executed. Known and potentially existing mineralization have been related to the geotectonic history and metallogenetic conclusions have been drawn. Based on the findings of this research, the folded thrust belt located at the eastern rim of the Volta basin has been identified as the most prospective area for the ultramafic rocks with chromite, nickel mineralization and PGEs, hydrothermal gold and banded iron formation (BIF) but this will require further work.

Abstract:
The thesis was conducted in five communal wetlands in the Volta Basin. The objectives were to develop an integrated social-ecological conceptual and analytical framework to evaluate the benefits of wetlands; and to explore and discuss how wetlands may become degraded. Based on these objectives, the GLECT was designed as a conceptual and analytical framework, and used to obtain the results. The results showed that rural communities benefited from three types of wetlands ecosystem services. The provisioning services were associated with wetland conversion, and provided subsistence crops for rural livelihoods. Commercial crops were also produced m the wetlands and contributed to poverty alleviation. Regulating/supporting services had the highest potential to contribute to poverty alleviation, but farmers needed scientific, technical and financial support to develop the livestock and natural products sectors into sustainable rural enterprises for poverty alleviation and food security. The cultural services were partially evaluated but had great potential for development into rural, social, tourism-based enterprises to improve the wellbeing of local people. Four drivers of degradation influenced wetland ecosystems differently. Weakened traditional governance systems including national governments' policy failures, livelihood pressure, climatic variability and inappropriate technologies, all combined to drive large-scale land cover changes in the White Volta Basin. Belayela, a community in the same White Volta Basin, applied the wise use concept and benefited a lot from their wetlands. Wetlands in the fifth community, N angodi, were protected areas, so remained in their near-pristine state. Here, wetlands provided abundant roofing grasses and poles, but fewer food-crops to the people. This thesis recommends the formulation of integrated regional economic development and poverty alleviation policies to increase agricultural production, trade and investments in the Volta Basin, which stretches across six countries. It also proposes that the six basin countries should consider initiating and implementing an integrated basin-wide wetland policy to promote wetland sustainability.

Abstract:

The Volta Basin covers most of the major food producingdistricts of Ghana. Thus said, it is considered as the foodbasket of Ghana. This perception underscores the need toprotect the basins bio-physical environment and resource base.This concern has been mirrored by several initiatives both interms of policy and planning that aim at improving themanagement of the basin’s resource base to enable itspeople depend on it in meeting their livelihoods. Like mostcommunities that lie in the lower reaches of the Volta, thepeople of the South Tongu District have been brought under theimpact of the dam. Even though no extensive study has yet beenconducted to establish the extent of the dam’s impact inthe district, it is widely believed by the locals thatlivelihoods have been impacted by environmental changes. Keycomplaints include, amongst others, tree cover depletion,decline in soil fertility, poor agricultural productivity, lowrainfall and bush fires. At the district level some steps havebeen taken in the form of projects and programmes to addresspoverty and resource management issues, while others areunderway. This study seeks to contribute to the on-goinggeneral discussion concerning poverty and environmentalmanagement in the basin by presenting some perspectives fromfour villages, namely, Torsukpo, Agbogbla, Akato and Alesikpein the South Tongu District. From two perspectives, thesecommunities are considered as homogenous: (i) they are allpredominantlyeweswith respect to ethnic composition, and (ii)subsistence farming features as a key occupation in all thecommunities. Among the range of issues identified in thedistrict, the study discusses mainly conservation (with respectto tree planting), bush fires and co-operative management. Ittreats these issues with focuses on key socio-cultural factors.In the examination of these issues institutional matters suchas tenure are seen as central players in resource managementand are thus given attention. While information gathered hereincontributes generally to deepening knowledge on the prevailingproblems, some recommendations are also offered as possiblesteps to improving resource management and livelihoods in theDistrict.

Abstract:
La zone etudiee comprend le craton ouest-africain, le bassin des volta, les unites externes des dahomeyides et le "craton benino-nigerian". Le bassin des volta est composite. Il comporte la portion occidentale d'une marge passive, et le reste d'un bassin pericratonique d'avant-pays. Cette marge passive y est representee par les supergroupes de boumbouaka (1100-700 ma. ) et de la pendjari (700-600 ma). Les supergroupes de boumbouaka et de la pendjari ont subi une diagenese moderee. Leur frange orientale a ete structuree par une phase de plissement. Les dahomeyides resultent d'une collision panafricaine. Elles comprennent des unites structurales externes chevauchantes et des unites internes en nappes sur celles-ci. L'unite structurale de l'atacora est constituee principalement par des equivalents des supergroupes de boumbouaka et de la pendjari et par des ecailles et nappes des unites internes. Dans le modele geodynamique propose, le bassin pericratonique d'avant-pays est represente par le supergroupe de tamale, a caracteristiques molassiques et en discordance progressive sur la marge passive voltaienne. Cette etude a egalement permis de situer les dahomeyides par rapport a l'ensemble des chaines qui ceinturent le craton ouest-africain.

Abstract:
Le présent travail concerne une rivière temporaire d'Afrique Occidentale encore très peu connue sur le plan hydrobiologique et surtout au niveau des macroinvertébrés aquatiques. Les informations géologiques, géomorphologiques, bioclimatiques et physico-chimiques du secteur étudié correspondent à la situation normalement rencontrée en Savane Soudanienne. Un premier inventaire faunistique a été établi ; la taxonomie des baetidae (Ephemeroptera) et des hydropsychidae (Trichoptera) est présentée sous forme de clés illustrées afin de faciliter leur détermination. L'organisation des communautés stationnelles a été analysée en prenant en compte la composition faunistique, la densité des peuplements benthiques et le cycle hydrologique. L'étude de la dérive a permis d'aborder le problème de l'impact des traitements chimiques antisimulidiens sur les populations aquatiques, dans le cadre de la lutte contre l'onchocercose humaine entreprise par l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé.

Abstract:
Water is life. While access to water supply and sanitation facilities is considered as one of the most basic human needs, it is also today considered as a human right. Lack of access to safe, affordable, close and adequate water supply and sanitation facilities remains one of the leading causes of diseases and deaths in the world. There are many reasons for this unacceptable situation. One key characteristic is the inadequate institutional and legal framework for water supply and sanitation provision in place. The aim of this research is to gain an improved understanding of existing frameworks, to see what and how it makes the links between the local, regional, national and international levels for communities to access improved water supply and sanitation facilities. The hypothesis being that a framework which does not provide these linkages can have a negative impact on water supply and sanitation provision for poor communities. The research focuses on the institutional and legal frameworks relating to the Senegal and Volta river basins, in West Africa and their constituent countries, one of which, Ghana, is the focus of a more detailed analysis. The study identified that insufficient attention has been given to the establishment of an overall institutional and legal framework at all levels, and particularly to the establishment of regulatory and enforcement bodies at the local, regional, national and international levels and their inclusion in the formulation of water supply and sanitation policies at all levels. A model institutional and legal framework has been developed as a benchmark against which existing frameworks can be evaluated. It draws out key features extending from the local to the international level. The research argues that governments have a primary role to play in facilitating the provision of water supply and sanitation facilities to communities, in particular the poor.

O objetivo desse estudo em uma perspectiva qualitativa é o de analisar como está ocorrendo o processo de incorporação da saúde ambiental pela atenção básica, através da atuação da Estratégia de Saúde da Família no município de Volta Redonda, estado do Rio de Janeiro. A estrutura conceitual abordou os temas: Saúde ambiental e seu respectivo desenvolvimento dentro do sistema saúde brasileiro; o conceito de território e sua a aplicação prática na saúde; a Estratégia de Saúde da Família como veículo de operacionalização. A metodologia do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo foi utilizada para a confecção do roteiro de entrevista e a tabulação dos dados, permitindo a identificação das idéias centrais e expressões-chaves presentes nos discursos dos gestores e das equipes. A análise foi pelos preceitos da Teoria das Representações Sociais.Os resultados das entrevistas apontam para uma dicotomia entre a visão dos gestores, influenciada pelas concepções teóricas contidas nas políticas públicas de saúde, e a visão da equipes, influenciada pela a estrutura organizacional do SUS. O que influencia na relação saúde e ambiente.
The objective of this study was in a qualitative perspective to analyze as the process of incorporation of the ambient health for the basic attention is occurring, through the performance of the Strategy of Health of the Family in the city in of Volta Redonda, state of Rio de Janeiro. The conceptual structure approached the subjects: Ambient health and its respective development inside of the Brazilian system health; the concept of territory and its practical application in the health, the Strategy of Health of the Family as operationalizes vehicle. The methodology of the Speech of the Collective Citizen was used for the confection of the interview script and the tab of the data, having allowed the identification of the ideas central offices and expression-keys gifts in the speeches of the managers and the teams. The analysis was for the rules of the Theory of the Social Representations. The results of the interviews point with respect to a dichotomy between the vision of the managers influenced by the contained theoretical conceptions in the public politics of health, and the vision of the teams influenced by the a organizational structure of the SUS. What it influences in the relation health and environment.
