Educational impact on sectoral value added
Purpose This study investigates the impact of different education levels on sectoral value-added in agriculture, manufacturing, and services across 50 African countries from 2005 to 2020. By analyzing the relationship between education and sectoral outputs, it aims to provide policy recommendations for optimizing educational investments to promote economic growth. Design/methodology/approach The research employs the Generalized Method of Moments …
Governance and Intercommunal Armed Conflict
This study investigates the relationship between governance and intercommunal conflict in 49 African countries over the period 1990–2020, using a correlated random effects model. The results indicate that political stability, rule of law, and regulatory quality significantly reduce the likelihood of intercommunal conflict, both in the short and long term. Ethnic fragmentation is found to directly increase the probability of conflict, but this eff…
Fear to fail and entrepreneurship intent
This study aims to investigate the effect of fear of failure on entrepreneurship intent. It utilises survey data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2015) conducted in Senegal. Analysing a sample of 2364 individuals, the probit model was employed, revealing three key findings. Firstly, fear of failure significantly diminishes entrepreneurship intent. Secondly, individuals who are partially employed demonstrate a heightened inclination towar…
Condom use prevalence during the Covid-19 pandemic among female sex workers in Dakar, Senegal
Literature suggests that individuals may trade off health for income in face of an economic shock. Being in a close contact profession, the livelihoods of sex workers were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Few studies exist on whether prevalence of better-renumerated condomless sex increased among this population in low and middle-income countries and discuss its implications on HIV/STI transmission, specifically during pandemic situati…
Gender inequalities in wages and access to employment in Senegal
Purpose Reducing disparities in access to the labor market and pay is a central pillar of development strategies and policies implemented globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Senegal, where significant gender gaps persist. This paper aims to analyze gender inequalities in employment access and compensation in Senegal, assessing whether these differences arise from discrimination or disparities in productive skills. Design/methodology/…
Promoting environmental sustainability in Africa
Following the growing body of the literature assessing the governance and environmental sustainability nexus, the present study complements the extant literature by assessing how environmental sustainability can be promoted by means of policies that entail the simultaneous implementation of six governance dynamics, notably, political governance (political stability/ no violence and ‘voice & accountability’), economic governance (government effect…
The effects of gender political inclusion and democracy on environmental performance
Motivated by the difficulty of ensuring gender equality and the chaotic state of democracy, we analyze the effects of gender political inclusion and democracy on environmental policy performance. The study uses a panel of 45 African countries over the period 2012–2018 and employs the method of moments by quantile regression. The results show that gender political inclusion and democracy positively affect environmental performance in all quantiles…
Food insecurity predicts loss to follow-up among people living with HIV in Senegal, West Africa
The goals of this study were to assess retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to identify predictors of loss to follow-up (LTFU) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Senegal. HIV-positive individuals presenting for initiation of ART in Dakar and Ziguinchor were enrolled and followed for 12 months. Data were collected using interviews, clinical evaluations, laboratory analyses, chart review, and active patient tracing. Of the 207 individ…
Sexuality-based stigma and access to care
Men who have sex with men (MSM) in Senegal face a challenging socio-legal context, marked by homophobia and the illegality of homosexuality. In addition, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence among MSM is 27.6%, 46 times greater than the one in the general population (0.5%). Nevertheless, access to healthcare by MSM may be hampered by stigmatizing attitudes from health facility staff (medical and non-medical). This article describes the h…
They call us goor-jigeen
Men who have sex with men living with HIV in majority Muslim communities face discrimination based on multiple forms of stigma at socio-cultural and legislative levels. This study aimed to explore qualitatively the experiences of men who have sex with men living with HIV in Dakar, Senegal. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with 30 Senegalese men aged 18 to 55 years, who self-reported as same-sex practising, Muslim, and receiving HIV t…
Describing, analysing and understanding the effects of the introduction of HIV self-testing in West Africa through the Atlas programme in Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Senegal
ATLAS is the first comprehensive study on HIV self-testing in West Africa. The ATLAS programme focuses particularly on the secondary distribution of HIVST. This protocol was approved by three national ethic committees and the WHO's Ethical Research Committee
The impact of food insecurity on HIV outcomes in Senegal, West Africa
Severity and duration of food insecurity are important factors in understanding the relationship between food insecurity and HIV outcomes. Our findings highlight the importance of nutritional status, socioeconomic opportunity, and self-stigmatization in the complex pathway between food insecurity and HIV outcomes. Interdisciplinary, multisectoral efforts are needed to develop and implement effective interventions to address food insecurity among …
HIV infection risk and condom use among sex workers in Senegal
Social desirability bias, which is the tendency to under-report socially undesirable health behaviours, significantly distorts information on sensitive behaviours that is gained from self-reports. As a result, self-reported condom use among high-risk populations is thought to be systematically over-reported, and it is impossible to identify the determinants of condom use. The main objective of the article is to elicit unbiased information on cond…
Use and Acceptability of HIV Self-Testing Among First-Time Testers at Risk for HIV in Senegal
HIV Self-Testing (HIVST) aims to increase HIV testing coverage and can facilitate reaching the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. In Senegal, key populations bear a disproportionate burden of HIV and report limited uptake of HIV testing given pervasive stigma and criminalization. In these contexts, HIVST may represent a complementary approach to reach populations reporting barriers to engagement with existing and routine HIV testing services. In this study…
