Kamaldeen, Yakubu Zahrrah January 2005 (has links)

It also explores and examines the activities of the NGOs- while evaluating some of projects they have undertaken in the development of Ghanaian women. The paper also offered suggestions that will help to achieve effective sustainable women development when adopted by the political parties and the concerned NGOs. </p><p>Women in Development (WID) and Gender and Development (GAD), the most widely used theoretical frameworks in gender and development studies; provide the conceptual frames for the analysis in this thesis.

Interactions lithosphère - asthénosphère et mouvements verticaux : le cas du massif du Hoggar

Rougier, Sylvain 14 December 2012 (has links) (PDF)
La topographie de l'Afrique du Nord est marquée en domaine intraplaque par des bombements topographiques importants, associés à du magmatisme cénozoïque. Le Bouclier Touareg, un de ces bombements, est constitué d'un socle précambrien structuré à l'orogénèse panafricaine et culminant à plus de 2400 m d'altitude. Les séries paléozoïques affleurent actuellement sous forme de cuestas autour de ce bombement topographique. Localement, des témoins sédimentaires d'âge présumé crétacé, en discordance sur le socle précambrien, traduisent l'affleurement de celui-ci au Mésozoïque. Le volcanisme cénozoïque, qui se met également en place sur le socle, est actif entre 35 Ma et aujourd'hui. Afin de mieux contraindre l'évolution du Bouclier Touareg durant le Phanérozoïque, nous avons mené deux études : des travaux de modélisation géophysique, et une étude de thermochronologie basse température. L'étude géophysique a consisté en la modélisation de quatre profils longue distance permettant d'imager la structure lithosphérique. Nous avons montré que le bombement du Hoggar est actuellement soutenu par un important amincissement lithosphérique. En outre, nous avons estimé que sans cet amincissement, la topographie serait négative : le bassin ainsi reconstitué avant amincissement de la lithosphère aurait permis le dépôt d'une couverture sédimentaire d'épaisseur plurikilométrique. L'étude de thermochronologie basse température s'est portée sur deux méthodes : les analyses de traces de fission sur apatite, et les analyses (U-Th)/He sur apatite. Les analyses (U-Th)/He ont montré que le socle du Bouclier Touareg, avant d'avoir subi une importante exhumation à l'Eocène Supérieur, étant enseveli sous une couverture sédimentaire et chauffé à approximativement ~80°C. Les analyses de traces de fission ont permis de préciser que cette phase de chauffe, probablement sous couverture sédimentaire, du Bouclier Touareg a eu lieu entre 100 et 50 Ma. Ainsi, le bombement du Hoggar constituait probablement un bassin sédimentaire de grande dimension au cours du Crétacé supérieur/Paléocène. Ces résultats nous ont permis de discuter des mécanismes géodynamiques possiblement actifs durant le Cénozoïque. Nous proposons que le bombement actuel du Bouclier Touareg, ainsi que son magmatisme, soient liés à des perturbations thermiques des parties superficielles de l'asthénosphère. Ces perturbations seraient induites par d'importantes variations d'épaisseur de la lithosphère saharienne, et pourraient expliquer la présence d'autres bombements en Afrique du Nord.

Les limites de l'application du droit sur les ressources naturelles : le cas des territoires palestiniens et du Sahara occidental

Davanture, Sandrine January 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Le travail présenté ici est avant tout une tentative de faire connaître un problème souvent inconnu, celui de l'exploitation des ressources naturelles des territoires occupés ou non autonomes par l'occupant. En effet, nous essayons de donner un aperçu de ce que peut être l'usurpation de souveraineté sur les ressources naturelles appartenant à des peuples qui ne s'administrent pas encore eux-mêmes. Nous avons en premier lieu tenté de dresser le portrait de cette norme de droit international qu'est la souveraineté sur les ressources naturelles, en analysant tout d'abord son contenu ainsi que ses titulaires. Nous avons ensuite essayé de démontrer que cette titularité s'applique non seulement au peuple palestinien en tant que territoire occupé mais également au peuple sahraoui en tant territoire non autonome. Par l'analyse des comportements des occupants que sont Israël et le Maroc vis-à-vis des ressources naturelles des territoires qu'ils occupent, nous en avons déduit qu'il y avait effectivement une exploitation illégale de leur part. Nous avons donc voulu savoir quelles étaient les réactions sur la scène internationale face à cette spoliation à peine voilée. Nous avons de ce fait analysé non seulement l'attitude des Nations Unies face à ce comportement illicite, mais également celle des États autres que les occupants. Et nous avons découvert que malgré les nombreux rappels de l'existence de la souveraineté sur les ressources naturelles par les Nations Unies ainsi que par les États soutenant la cause des peuples palestinien et sahraoui, les États occupants se jouent de cette norme de droit, forts, certainement, des appuis dont ils peuvent bénéficier de la part de puissances occidentales.

Towards corporate environmental responsibility in Sub-Saharan Africa's oil and gas industry: opportunities and challenges

Omotoso, Wasiu Adebisi 11 April 2014 (has links)
This thesis demonstrates the level of environmental disaster that oil TNCs have brought into Sub-Sahara Africa as a direct consequence of economic globalization. The analysis reveals the weaknesses of the environmental regime in the Sub-Sahara African region, particularly in Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon as well as the lack of administrative capacity of the governments. The thesis explores alternative means through which environmental responsibility of oil TNCs could be pursued at the supranational arena and within the legal system of home states of the oil TNCs. It seeks to do so by examining the phenomenon of tort-based action for foreign direct liability of the parent oil TNCs for the conduct of their foreign subsidiaries extraterritorially.

The Effect of Climate Change on Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa

Long, Shelby K 01 January 2015 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the projected future changes in the global and Sub-Saharan Africa climate. These changes are expected to have varying effects depending on the region of the globe being examined. Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to be one of the most vulnerable regions in the future because of the already-variable and unpredictable climate. Population growth and lack of financial and informational resources further exacerbates the climate problems, making it even more difficult for African farmers to respond to their changing environment. In order to respond to these climate changes within an already dry and nutrient-lacking environment, farmers must be given the necessary adaptation information and aid from outside investors. However, without the proper information available to investors, regarding future expectations about precipitation, temperature, extreme weather events, soil nutrients, and available adaptation strategies, investors cannot efficiently allocate capital or other forms of aid. Therefore, I stress the importance of developing accurate climate models on a regional scale that investors can use to better allocate aid. Each region is affected in very different ways by the climate as a result of local topographical factors and global factors, such as the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Therefore, tools, such as models and simulations must be able to take these factors into account in order to accurately project future changes. This thesis examines a wide range of existing literature in the area of climate change and food security on both a global and regional scale. I investigate the current and future climate of Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the farming culture, in order to provide an in-depth understanding of the various factors that are interacting. Although many steps have been made to develop models and provide aid to Sub-Saharan Africa farmers, the lack of food security is only expected to become worse as the environment becomes harsher on food crops. Therefore, in order to respond to the expanding population and harsher farming environment, farming adaptations must continue to be intensified.
