The role of flooding in urbanization
Amid growing climate risks, Dakar, the capital of Senegal, faced recurrent flooding between the late 1980s and early 2000s that severely affected both urban areas and populations. Following the devastating floods of 2005, the government launched the Jaxaay Plan, marking a shift from reactive responses to a preventive flood management and risk reduction policy focused on permanent resettlement and urban restructuring. Using a mixed-methods approac…
Individual perceptions on rainfall variations versus precipitation trends from satellite data
Global climate projections show that rising trends in precipitation very probably contribute to the resurgence of the risk of flooding in African cities. There remain however uncertainties regarding the patterns of change in past and future precipitation in the countries of West Africa. There are still too few studies focus on the individual perceptions of populations in Africa on these climate changes, although this is an essential lever for the…
Risk factors of becoming a disaster victim. The flood of September 1st, 2009, in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
In light of the expected growing natural hazards and the continued growth of urban populations, there is concern that the vulnerability of a significant portion of the urban African population will increase. The objective of the paper is to analyze factors associated with the status of “disaster victim” in Ouagadougou, the capital-city of Burkina Faso. On September 1st, 2009, this city experienced torrential rainfall leading to water runoffs and …
Modes d’adaptation des sociétés rurales à la croissance démographique
Des recherches pluridisciplinaires empiriques ont montré la complexité des liens entre dynamique démographique et production agricole. A travers deux exemples approfondis, nous illustrons dans cet article les transformations économiques et sociales qui permettent un maintien de la population en milieu rural dans un contexte de forte croissance démographique. A Kisii, au Kenya, comme dans le Vakinankaratra, à Madagascar, la diversification économi…
Les Objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement, l'accès à l'eau et les rapports de genre
L'élimination des inégalités sociales de sexe qui découlent de l'accès à l'eau potable est affichée comme une cible prioritaire dans les déclarations internationales des politiques de développement. L'article démontre que, si l'OMD 7C qui visait à "réduire de moitié, d'ici à 2015, le pourcentage de la population n'ayant pas accès de façon durable à un approvisionnement en eau potable" a pu être atteint sur le plan purement statistique, il a eu pe…
Environmental Factors and Childhood Fever in Areas of the Ouagadougou Health and Demographic Surveillance System, Burkina Faso
Using data on 825 under-5 children from the Ouagadougou Health and Demographic Surveillance System collected in 2010, this article examines the effects of aspects of the immediate environment on childhood fever. Logit regression models were estimated to assess the effects of the quality of the local environment on the probability that a child is reported to have had a fever in the two weeks preceding the survey, after controlling for various demo…
Using CBPR Methods in College Health Research
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative methodology that uniquely involves stakeholders in all stages of the research process. CBPR has been widely utilized in the field of public health, but not widely employed with college populations. This study utilized CBPR methods within a college community to gain insight into excessive alcohol consumption. Six student researchers planned and carried out a rigorous qualitative stud…
Use of health care among febrile children from urban poor households in Senegal
Urban malaria is considered a major public health problem in Africa. The malaria vector is well adapted in urban settings and autochthonous malaria has increased. Antimalarial treatments prescribed presumptively or after rapid diagnostic tests are also highly used in urban settings. Furthermore, health care strategies for urban malaria must comply with heterogeneous neighbourhood ecosystems where health-related risks and opportunities are spatial…

Rainfall variations and child mortality in the Sahel
Is the Tap Locked? An Event History Analysis of Piped Water Access in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
In many respects, easy access to water of good quality and in adequate quantity can be regarded as a basic social service that is central to both health and socioeconomic development. Having piped water in the dwelling or in the yard remains the best way of having low cost and easily accessible water, compared with water vendors or standpipes. However, international data estimate that only 35 per cent of urban population in sub-Saharan Africa hav…
The Death of Eugenia Baja
In February 2008, Eugenia Baja, a twenty-five-year-old Filipina domestic worker, allegedly committed suicide by banging her head against the tiles in her employer's bathroom. Autopsy documents from Riyadh authorities listed her cause of death as an ulcer, and noted that her body showed signs of starvation.This paper argues that the deaths of Eugenia, Jocelyn, and Honiefaith are feminicides, part of the Arroyo government's long track record of tol…
Rainfall variation as a factor in child survival in rural Burkina Faso
Apart from the classical determinants of child survival, ecological factors can have a strong influence on child survival in rural subsistence societies, particularly by their impact on malnutrition and on the reduction of income. Persistence of unfavourable climatic conditions may lead to a sharp reduction of food production, and children under five are particularly sensitive to food shortage. This study combines exceptionally reliable multi‐sou…
Accès à l’eau et enjeux socio-sanitaires à Ouagadougou – Burkina Faso
En termes d’accès à l’eau potable, l’Afrique est la région du monde où les zones urbaines sont les plus mal loties, avec seulement la moitié de la population urbaine du continent qui y a accès. Dans ce contexte, Ouagadougou, la capitale du Burkina Faso, fait figure de contre-exemple. Dans cette ville, la desserte en eau potable s’étant inscrite comme un service public prioritaire depuis plus de 20 ans, 97 % des ménages déclarent s’approvisionner …
