High environmental value certification and the politics of sustainable viticulture in France
This article analyses how the High Environmental Value (in French, Haute Valeur Environnementale, HVE) certification became institutionalised as a state-backed sustainability standard in French viticulture, focusing on Champagne and Cognac. Situating HVE within debates on eco-labelling, audit-based environmental governance and corporate environmentalism, it shows how this public certification translates mounting environmental and health critiques…
Prevalence and factors associated with severe illness in West African children under 5 years of age detected with routine pulse oximetry in primary care
BACKGROUND: The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines are symptom-based algorithms used to identify critically ill children under five in primary health centres (PHC) in resource-limited countries. Hypoxaemia, a life-threatening event, is clinically underdiagnosed. The Amélioration de l'Identification des détresses Respiratoires de l'Enfant/Improving Identification of Respiratory Distress in Children (AIRE) project implemen…
Missed opportunities for hospital referral of young children with severe pneumonia identified at primary care using pulse oximetry
Background In line with the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines, healthcare workers (HCWs) should refer all severe pneumonia among children under 5 seen in primary care in resource-limited settings. We investigated the frequency and correlates of missed opportunities for hospital referral (MOHR) of clinical severe pneumonia. Our study was embedded within the Améliorer l'Identification des détresses Respiratoires chez l'En…
Care management and determinants of day 14 mortality in severely ill children aged under 5 years subsequent to hypoxaemia diagnosed using routine pulse oximetry in primary care
BACKGROUND: The Amélioration de l'Identification des détresses Respiratoires de l'Enfant (AIRE) project introduced the routine use of pulse oximetry (PO) into Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) consultations within primary health centres (PHCs) in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali and Niger. We analysed how severe cases were managed and 14-day mortality by hypoxaemia severity. METHODS: <90%) were eligible for referral and enrolled in a 14…
Engagement étudiant et pratiques pédagogiques enseignantes dans des modalités de cours hybrides
Les modalités de cours hybrides, qui combinent activités synchrones (en présentiel ou en ligne) et asynchrones, sont de plus en plus présentes en enseignement supérieur. Celles-ci offrent un potentiel d’amélioration de l’engagement étudiant, qui varie dans le temps, selon les pratiques pédagogiques enseignantes et d’autres facteurs contextuels. Cette étude propose une analyse exploratoire de l’engagement étudiant au fil d’une session universitair…
Responding to the needs of migrants during the Covid-19 pandemic in Montreal and Sherbrooke
This article looks at the influence strategies of actors involved in intersectoral collaborations set up during the COVID-19 pandemic to influence collective decisions. It is part of a participatory research project that sets out to analyze the emergence and implementation of intersectoral initiatives between the community and public services during COVID-19 to better meet the needs of refugees, asylum seekers and non-status migrants in Montreal …
Retention in care among people living with HIV in the national antiretroviral therapy programme in Guinea
Few studies have investigated retention in HIV care in West Africa. We measured retention in antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes among people living with HIV and re-engagement in care among those lost to follow up (LTFU) in Guinea and identified associated risk factors using survival analysis. Patient-level data were analysed from 73 ART sites. Treatment interruptions and LTFU were defined as missing a ART refill appointment by over 30 days a…
Implementation of DHIS2 for Disease Surveillance in Guinea
A robust epidemic-prone disease surveillance system is a critical component of public health infrastructure and supports compliance with the International Health Regulations (IHR). One digital health platform that has been implemented in numerous low- and middle-income countries is the District Health Information System Version 2 (DHIS2). In 2015, in the wake of the Ebola epidemic, the Ministry of Health in Guinea established a strategic plan to …
Lessons learned for surveillance system strengthening through capacity building and partnership engagement in post-Ebola Guinea, 2015–2019
The 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak in Guinea revealed systematic weaknesses in the existing disease surveillance system, which contributed to delayed detection, underreporting of cases, widespread transmission in Guinea and cross-border transmission to neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia, leading to the largest Ebola epidemic ever recorded. Efforts to understand the epidemic's scale and distribution were hindered by problems with data completeness, ac…
Des migrants subsahariens dans les champs de Coco de Paimpol en Bretagne, entre camaraderie et clivages
Des migrants subsahariens dans les champs de Coco de Paimpol en Bretagne Cette photographie a été prise en septembre 2014, lors d’une enquête ethnographique dans les champs de haricots coco à Paimpol (Bretagne), au moment de la récolte. Ma recherche portait alors sur les migrants subsahariens qui effectuent des travaux agricoles saisonniers dans diverses régions de France. L’auteur de ce texte apparaît sur la photo (debout, au fond, en tee-shirt …
Transition démographique en cours, transitions professionnelles et organisationnelles à accomplir
La situation du Québec et celle des pays de l’Afrique francophone se différencient à nombre d’égards, tant sur les plans démographique qu’économique. Malgré ces différences, tous ces pays partagent un même défi fondamental, soit la nécessité d’ajuster l’offre de services de santé et sociaux à la transition démographique découlant du vieillissement global de leur population. Si la démographie québécoise présente une transition quasiment accomplie,…
Literacy and education in West Africa
Following contacts with Arab nomads and traders and the conversion of West Africans to Islam, Ajami , the writing of African languages using Qur’anic Arabic script, developed as an offshoot of Qur’anic education. Subsequently, both Ajami and Arabic became the transnational medium of written and spoken communication in pre-colonialWest Africa. However, with colonization, the linguistic ecology in the region experienced a radical change. Following …
Qur'anic and Ajami literacies in pre-colonial West Africa
Traditional African literacy practices have often been ignored in the wake of European colonialism and the educational policies of colonial governments. Nonetheless, literacy had been established in parts of Africa following the introduction of Islam. This paper will examine the developments of literacy in pre-colonial West Africa. In this region, literacy was introduced for specifically religious functions associated with the practice of Muslim …
‘To understand lessons, think through your own languages.’ An analysis of narratives in support of the introduction of indigenous languages in the education system in Senegal
Senegal has a complex multilingual set-up where there is interaction between 25 distinct indigenous languages and French, the language of the former colonial power. Throughout colonial rule the French language was imposed and the indigenous languages were marginalised and stigmatised. When Senegal gained independence from France, the postcolonial authorities who took over power were not able to redress the situation and promote their own language…
Les défis linguistiques et géopolitiques du français en Afrique au sud du Sahara
Les vicissitudes du français en Afrique au sud du Sahara
The French language is in decline in America and Asia and stagnating in Europe; its last bastion in the world may be Africa. Emphasizing Africa's importance to the French-speaking world, Ali Mazrui (2004) argues that "without Africa, the French language would be almost provincial." However, French is faltering in most of its African strongholds due to ideological, sociolinguistic, political, and geostrategic changes taking place. This article exa…
