BDS n°9 : Politiques agricoles et finances publiques en Afrique : éléments de suivi-évaluation

Chères lectrices, chers lecteurs,

Dix ans après la déclaration de Maputo, qui devait soulever de grands espoirs parmi les agriculteurs africains, de nombreux acteurs s’interrogent : les Etats africains investissent-ils effectivement davantage d’argent public dans l’agriculture, comme ils l’avaient promis ? Nous chercherons dans cette synthèse à répondre en partie à cette question, compte tenu des informations que nous avons pu collecter, qu’elles soient officielles ou indépendantes. Mais nous chercherons également à présenter plus généralement l’intérêt et la difficulté de l’exercice consistant à suivre et examiner les dépenses publiques allouées à l’agriculture. Il s’agit d’un enjeu important du point de vue de la société civile, celui de disposer d’informations pour étayer leur plaidoyer et demander des comptes. Mais il s’agit aussi d’un enjeu du point de vue des Etats : disposer d’informations fiables (dans un contexte de pénurie statistique) pour évaluer leurs actions, les comparer dans le temps et l’espace, pour finalement améliorer leurs politiques. A ce titre, le suivi et l’analyse des budgets sont un aspect de l’évaluation des politiques publiques. Cette synthèse puise de nombreux exemples dans la zone Cedeao, qui se trouve être la plus avancée d’Afrique subsaharienne (aux niveaux régional et national) dans la mise en oeuvre du PDDAA, programme continental de relance de l’agriculture initié à Maputo.

APPEL – résumé
Les territoires sont à la fois une construction sociale et une matérialité observée par différents champs disciplinaires. Cette interdisciplinarité large constitue un front pionnier difficile mais nécessaire. Une autre frontière à dépasser est celle qui, trop souvent, éloigne les chercheurs des acteurs du développement territorial. Les données territoriales constituent un des domaines par lesquels ces confrontations sont rendues fécondes. Le deuxième colloque du CIST se propose de défricher ces nouveaux fronts en invitant à explorer six thématiques prioritaires :
Thématique 1 – Données locales, données citoyennes, demande sociale
Thématique 2 – Intégrations régionales et cohésion territoriale : regards croisés
Thématique 3 – Mobilité, territorialité, territorialisation : approches critiques
Thématique 4 – Science des territoires : les fronts pionniers de l’interdisciplinarité
Thématique 5 – Images des territoires : media, représentations
Thématique 6 – Des Systèmes d’Information Territoriale au service de nouvelles problématiques scientifiques ou pratiques sociales

CALL – summary
Territories are both a social construct and a materiality observed by different disciplinary fields. This broad interdisciplinarity is a difficult, yet necessary, pioneer front. Another frontier to be crossed is the all too frequent gulf between researchers and the actors of territorial development. Territorial data are a field that offers opportunities for fertile debate. The second international CIST conference aims to clear new and uncharted ground in this area. The call for papers covers six central topics.
Topic 1 – Local data, citizen data, social demand
Topic 2 – Regional integration and territorial cohesion: a comparative perspective
Topic 3 – Critical approaches to mobility, territoriality, territorialization
Topic 4 – Territorial science: the pioneer fronts of interdisciplinarity
Topic 5 – Images of territories. Media and representations
Topic 6 – Territorial Information Systems to address new scientific problems or social practices

13^th INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM ON AFRICA

Africa 2.0: Harnessing natural resource wealth for economic transformation

Monday 7 October 2013 – Paris, France

OECD Conference Centre – 2, rue André Pascal, 75016 Paris

With a growth projected at 4.8% in 2013 and a further 5.3 % in 2014, the medium-term economic outlook for Africa continues to be favourable despite headwinds from the global economy. Today’s Africa economies face the formidable challenge of creating gainful employment opportunities for millions of people both by sustaining the pace of growth and by making it more inclusive. To generate opportunities for sustainable employment and wealth creation, African countries need to focus on making the most of their natural resources while concentrating on the sectors that hold promise for low skilled jobs and putting in place conditions for diversification and upgrading.

The Forum is the annual meeting of policy-makers, economists and researchers working on and with Africa. Every year, more than 500 participants (ministers and high-level representatives of the private sector, academia, and civil society organisations) gather to discuss the performance of African economies and the major challenges faced by the continent. The Forum is organised by the OECD Development Centre, in collaboration with the African Development Bank (AfDB), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the French government, as well as the European Union.

13^ÈME FORUM INTERNATIONAL ÉCONOMIQUE SUR L’AFRIQUE

Afrique 2.0:Tirer parti de la manne des ressources naturelles pour la transformation économique

Lundi 7 octobre 2013 – Paris, France

Centre de Conférences de l’OCDE – 2, rue André Pascal, 75016 Paris

Avec une croissance de 4,8% prévue en 2013 et jusqu’à 5,3% en 2014, les perspectives économiques à moyen terme pour l’Afrique continuent d’être favorable en dépit des turbulences de l’économie mondiale. Les économies africaines doivent aujourd’hui faire face au redoutable défi de créer des possibilités d’emplois rémunérateurs pour des millions de personnes à la fois par en maintenant le rythme de croissance et en la rendant plus inclusive. La création d’emplois durables et de richesse pour les pays africains passe par la valorisation de leurs ressources naturelles, tout en se concentrant sur les secteurs prometteurs pour les emplois peu qualifiés et en mettant en place les conditions favorables à la diversification et modernisation.

Le Forum est la réunion annuelle de responsables politiques, économistes et chercheurs travaillant sur et avec l’Afrique. Chaque année, plus de 500 participants (ministres et représentants de haut niveau du secteur privé, des universités et des organisations de la société civile) se réunissent pour discuter de la performance des économies africaines et des grands défis auxquels est confronté le continent. Le Forum est organisé par le Centre de Développement de l’OCDE, en collaboration avec la Banque africaine de développement (BAD), le Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement (PNUD), la Commission économique pour l’Afrique (CEA), le gouvernement français, ainsi que l’Union européenne.

13° FORUM INTERNACIONAL ECONÔMICO SOBRE ÁFRICA

África 2.0:Aproveitando a riqueza dos recursos naturais para a transformação econômica

Segunda-feira 7 de outubro – Paris, França

Centro de Conferências da OCDE – 2, rue André Pascal, 75016 Paris

Com um crescimento projetado de 4,8% em 2013 e atingindo 5,3% em 2014, as perspectivas econômicas de médio prazo para a África continuam a ser favoráveis, apesar dos ventos contrários da economia global. As economias africanas de hoje enfrentam o grande desafio de criar oportunidades de emprego lucrativas para milhões de pessoas, sustentando o ritmo de crescimento e tornando-o mais inclusivo. Para gerar oportunidades de emprego sustentáveis e de criação de riqueza, os países africanos precisam de se focalizar em aproveitar ao máximo os seus recursos naturais, concentrando-se ao mesmo tempo nos setores promissores para empregos pouco qualificados e permitindo condições para diversificação e modernização.

O Fórum é a reunião anual de decisores políticos, economistas e pesquisadores que trabalham sobre e com África. Todos os anos, mais de 500 participantes (ministros e representantes de alto nível do setor privado, universidades e organizações da sociedade civil) se reúnem para discutir o desempenho das economias africanas e os principais desafios enfrentados pelo continente. O Fórum é organizado pelo Centro de Desenvolvimento da OCDE, em colaboração com o Banco Africano de Desenvolvimento (BAD), o Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD), a Comissão Econômica para a África (CEA), o governo francês, bem como a União Européia.
