The main goal of the study was to provide scientists and policymakers useful evidence on the nature of land tenure systems in five North African countries, namely Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan, and Tunisia. In so doing, the study provides a basis for a strategic plan aimed at designing appropriate interventions to improve land governance in the region. The outcomes of the study, which are presented in this book, specifically highlight the needs of the countries regarding capacity development on land governance through better informed training, continuous training, and research. Within the framework of the priorities and activities of NELGA, a study was planned on the need’s analysis on training, continuing education and Research in North Africa for implementing convenient strategies and programs. The expected outcomes must reflect the reality of the problems related to various needs of the Northern Africa countries. The aim of the results is to develop programs enabling us to meet the Governments and professionals’ needs in the capacity building required for any sustainable development strategy. The overall objective of the study is to produce a document summarizing the status of land and land governance in North Africa from a legislative and institutional point of view. This general diagnosis of land systems will constitute the basis for a “benchmark” analysis to establish the similarities and differences among the countries of North Africa. The study aims, among other, to meet the below expectations and to tackle the following questions: What fields are likely to improve land governance in North Africa? What are the needs of the different stakeholders? What are the needs of professionals? What are the aspects to be highlighted in the projects of academic training, continuing education and research? Who are the potential partners and development partners to help develop capacity building programs on Land Governance in each country?

The pace of urbanization in Africa over the last 60 years is without precedent. In 2015, Kenya had more urban dwellers than the entire continent combined in 1950. Africa’s urban population in 2015 was 567 million people, compared to 27 million in 1950. Africa’s urban diversity is rarely captured in existing analyses and narratives. This is explained in part because urbanization
is developing beyond the capacity of statistical measurements that are based upon administrative divisions and therefore
only reflect a partial understanding of urban phenomena. Africapolis also reveals the existence of hundreds of urban agglomerations that are not recorded in official statistics, in areas generally considered to be rural. The extent of this phenomenon is striking, and does not only concern small towns, or the suburbs of big cities, but agglomerations of all sizes.Africa’s Urbanization Dynamics 2020 analyses the drivers, trends and forms of urbanization based on Africa polis data. It proposes more inclusive and targeted territorial policy options that integrate the social and environmental impacts of urban development and acknowledge the determining role of cities as economic drivers.

Le présent document s’agit de la migration en Afrique équilibrer le discours sur les migrations en Afrique. Les migrations sur le continent et au-delà permettront aux gens de subvenir à leurs besoins et d’investir dans leur pays et communauté d’origine. En réalité, la liberté de circulation est un puissant moyen de libérer le potentiel du continent ; un outil efficace pour stimuler le développement dans les pays d’origine et les pays de destination. Certains, dont de nombreux membres du Groupe de haut niveau sur les migrations, légitiment la mobilité et y voient un moyen d’intégration, de stabilité et de prospérité à l’échelle du continent. Le Groupe de haut niveau sur les migrations reste convaincu qu’avec la coordination et l’accompagnement des décideurs, la migration peut impulser le développement de chaînes d’approvisionnement, l’industrie, l’emploi et le bien-être des communautés sur le continent. La migration continue plutôt d’être représentée dans l’espace politique soit comme une crise humanitaire soit comme une crise sécuritaire. Une grande partie de l’attention portée Récemment, on s’est beaucoup intéressé à la migration internationale et ce en partie parce que les médias présentaient les Africains de manière tendancieuse comme étant désespérément pauvres et mus uniquement par le désir d’atteindre l’Europe par des voies illégales.

Implementation of the Global Compact is being reviewed in 2020 and 2021 in preparation for the International Migration Review Forum, to be convened in 2022. Drawing on information contained in national voluntary reports submitted by member States, together with additional information and data, this brief report summarizes the status of implementation of the Global Compact in Africa. The Africa We Want, the African Union proposed that all visa requirements for intra-African travel should be waived by 2018 and a legal framework adopted by 2023 for the issuance of an African common passport. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted trade and travel, leading to a spike in unemployment. This threatens to undo much of the progress that has been achieved in recent years on key development indicators and has further worsened the long-standing migrant “protection crisis”, in that increasing numbers of migrants are facing food insecurity and compromised access to health-care services.

L’urbanisation et l’intégration commerciale régionale sont deux grandes tendances susceptibles d’avoir chacune des incidences considérables sur l’avenir des économies africaines et le développement économique général de la région. Si l’urbanisation et l’intégration commerciale de l’Afrique ont toutes deux été largement étudiées et font l’objet d’un dialogue politique permanent, la relation entre ces deux tendances n’a pas encore été examinée de façon approfondie. Il est essentiel de comprendre cette relation si les pays africains veulent maximiser les avantages du commerce régional, car la majorité des biens échangeables à valeur ajoutée sont produits et consommés dans les villes. En effet, les perspectives naissantes découlant du commerce régional sont d’une importance vitale pour les villes africaines, où de nombreuses personnes sont aujourd’hui prises au piège des emplois précaires dans des secteurs non échangeables improductifs et mal payés. Les villes africaines se développent rapidement, et l’urbanisation est souvent qualifiée de moteur de développement. En fait, l’urbanisation et le revenu sont fortement corrélés, tant en Afrique qu’en dehors du continent. Les pays africains s’urbanisent toutefois plus vite et avec un niveau de revenu national brut inférieur à celui d’autres régions du monde, ce qui pose des problèmes majeurs aux responsables politiques qui cherchent à faire en sorte que la création d’emplois urbains et le développement des infrastructures suivent le rythme de la croissance démographique.

Urbanization is one of the most important shifts that the African continent will undergo this century. In the three decades since 1990, Africa has added nearly 400 million people to its cities, and over the next three decades to 2050, the continent will add an additional 900 million. As a result, the proportion of the continent’s population living in cities will rise from 43.5 per cent in 2020 to some 50.9 per cent by 2035. Most African countries are still early in the urbanization process and now have a significant opportunity to leverage the power of growing cities to promote inclusive growth. Strategic policies and investments at the regional, sub regional, national and subnational levels will prove critical in that regard. The Urbanization and Development Section at ECA deploys its knowledge and convening power to support member States in leveraging urbanization to promote job creation, urban productivity and regional integration. In doing so, ECA brings an urban lens into national development, economic and sectoral planning and regional integration policies. The three main pillars of this work are Urban job creation; Productive cities and urban systems; Cities and regional economic integration.

L’urbanisation est l’une des mutations les plus importantes que connaîtra le continent africain au cours de ce siècle. Dans les trois décennies écoulées depuis 1990, l’Afrique a accueilli près de 400 millions de personnes supplémentaires dans ses villes et, au cours des trois prochaines décennies, jusqu’en 2050, le continent en accueillera 900 millions de plus. En conséquence, la proportion de la population du continent vivant dans les villes passera de 43,5 % en 2020 à quelque 50,9 % à l’horizon 2035. Le taux de la croissance urbaine du continent est plus élevé que celui de toute autre région du monde et s’élève actuellement à 3,58 % par an. Le Département des affaires économiques et sociales (DESA) prévoit qu’il sera en moyenne de 3,3 % au cours des 20 prochaines années.

The policy debate on urbanisation in Africa has long suffered from a paucity of robust evidence. This report provides a new perspective on the economy of African cities, based on the most comprehensive analysis of data on African cities to date. It uses information from more than 4 million individuals and firms in 2 600 cities across 34 African countries to describe the economic performance and social conditions in cities of different sizes across the continent. Cities are attractive because of the job opportunities they provide. Hourly wages in large cities are more than twice as high as they are in rural areas. While the share of adults without any employment is slightly lower in cities than in rural areas, underemployment is less prevalent, as urban workers work 30% more hours per week than rural workers.

The information presented in this paper complements the Progress in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda Report of the Secretary-General (A/76/639–E/2022/10) in reporting implementation progress of the New Urban Agenda by the five UN Regional Commissions (RCs). It reflects the activities arising from paragraph 3 of Economic and Social Council resolution 2017/24, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 71/235. The paper is structured in eight sections, similar to the second Quadrennial Report, and includes a summary of how RCs reflected sustainable urbanization in their respective Regional Forums for Sustainable Development (RFSD). This is annually convened by the respective UN RCs to review implementation progress of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDGs, fulfilling the mandate in resolution 70/1 para 81, as well as resolution 75/224 paras 14 and 17.

C'est une donnée bien connue dans les milieux médicaux et paramédicaux qu'une majorité des Sénégalais a recours peu ou prou à la médecine dite traditionnelle pour se soigner. Il nous est paru intéressant de rechercher quel était le comportement réellement adopté vis-à-vis de cette médecine. Dans ce but au cours du deuxième semestre 1974, nous avons réalisé une enquête, un peu ambitieuse à l'origine, qui avait pour but d'embrasser la consommation médicamenteuse. Nous n'analyserons ici que les éléments ayant trait à la thérapeutique traditionnelle. Nous en donnerons la méthodologie et nous exposerons les résultats.

In Senegal land planning the territory amounts to geographic planning together with economic planning and sociological planning. Land planning forms part of the total effort of development of the four year plans. This does not mean merely the attainment of social and economic objectives within the territory, but an original element based on a particular conception held by the leaders of the country, as to what the distribution of future population in Senegal should be, of its activities within Senegal and as to the location of cities and villages, as to the style of the communities and the shape of the scenery, in other words, as self-willed geography of Senegal in the year 2000.This autonomy in projection does not exclude interdependence in prospective, which is altogether economic, social and geographic: the executory parts of the successive plans result of these three approaches, and also of synthesis and arbitration. This explains perhaps why material realizations are the outcome of compromise and why, the urbanest must be at the same time a sociologist and an economist in order to work usefully.

The growth of towns was a favourite target for experts on African affairs. Colonial authorities denounced it as the source of all evils found tarnishing the ideal picture they wanted to present of the territories in their care. Anti-colonial authors branded it as a diabolical colonial invention. In view of such a background of such unanimous condemnation, urban centres should have been regarded as, to say the least, largely responsible for unbalanced development. The reason it hardly was so is that the whole field of regional balance was left almost unexplored. Even today, the subject offered for consideration at this seminar remains so new, that so far as towns are concerned, we only can throw a few glances at it, dividing our views into two parts, one on the general effect of urban expansion, one on the peculiar case of cities described as "primates".

The importance of urbanization as a driver for inclusive growth and structural transformation in Africa is now well recognized at the global, regional and national levels. At the global level, the inclusion of a stand-alone goal on cities and human settlements in the 2030 agenda for sustainable development is a major milestone. At the regional level, the African Union’s agenda 2063 and the common African position on the post-2015 development agenda both emphasize the role of urbanization in Africa’s vision for transformation. A key objective of the Economic Commission for Africa’s (ECA’s) urbanization program is to support member States in strengthening their urban data and statistics needs for effective policy formulation, implementation and monitoring. This assessment presents the outcomes of the state of urban statistics in Africa, with a view to guiding member states in collecting and analyzing urban statistics within the framework of Africa’s priorities and vision, agenda 2063, and the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. The assessment will strengthen the urban development indicators in the 2020 world population and housing census program, and also strengthen standardization of urban definitions and concepts prescribed in the third revision of the Africa addendum to the principles and recommendations for population and housing censuses.
