Book Description
Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus : dans de nombreux pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, l'école ne parvient plus à remplir sa mission. Pas assez de salles de classe, pas assez d'enseignants, des méthodes pédagogiques souvent obsolètes, et des débouchés décidément peu assurés. L'exemple des « jeunes diplômés chômeurs » dissuade de nombreuses familles d'envoyer leurs enfants à l'école. Lorsqu'il y en a une. Les taux de scolarisation demeurent terriblement faibles, malgré les efforts budgétaires de nombreux gouvernements. La proportion d'enfants et de jeunes, qui ne sont pas allés à l'école ou qui l'ont abandonnée bien trop tôt, demeure extrêmement alarmante. Pourtant, un peu partout à travers ces pays, des expériences sont lancées, des initiatives nouvelles sont testées, des approches novatrices sont mises en œuvre, pour que l'éducation de base pour tous y devienne enfin une réalité. En décembre 1997, à l'initiative conjointe de l'UNESCO, de l'organisation non gouvernementale Aide et Action, et du gouvernement du Mali, un séminaire d'une semaine a réuni - à Bamako - hommes et femmes de terrain, experts et responsables politiques, sous le titre « Approches novatrices en éducation de base. Efficience, viabilité, rôle des communautés et des médias ». On y a échangé des informations, débattu des idées, lancé des propositions. Restait à voir ce qu'il en était vraiment sur le terrain. C'est ce qu'a fait l'auteur, à la demande de l'UNESCO. Curieusement, c'est à une autre réunion que ce dernier nous invite, une conférence d'un genre inédit, conduite sous la houlette d'une hypothétique présidente, et dont tous les ingrédients, parfaitement authentiques, ont été recueillis directement sur le terrain, à travers sept pays : Bénin, Burkina Faso, Guinée, Mali, Niger, Sénégal et Togo. Quelque chose y est en jeu, rien moins que l'avenir éducatif de nombreux pays d'Afrique.

Book Description
"Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.

Book Description
Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.

Book Description
Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.
