Electrifier durablement l'Afrique par les technologies hors réseau

April 2016
Gabrielle Desarnaud 

Ce podcast est délivré par Gabrielle Desarnaud. Alors que 1.2 milliards de personnes n’ont toujours pas accès à l’électricité, et que la qualité de service délivrée par les réseaux existants n’est pas toujours optimale, l’électrification dans les pays en développement peine à progresser. Sans engagement coordonné et massif, le nombre de personnes sans électricité augmentera considérablement en Afrique d’ici 2030. Pourtant, des solutions complémentaires à l’extension du réseau laissent aujourd’hui espérer des progrès d'électrification considérables en adéquation avec les enjeux économiques et environnementaux actuels. Changer notre conception de l’électrification permettra d’admettre que rester hors-réseau peut, pour certains, faire partie de la solution. Le succès du programme d’électrification durable Marocain en est un exemple, notamment pour ses voisins d’Afrique sub-saharienne.

    Cultural trade is a dynamic engine for economic diversification in the New South. Despite decades of diversification rhetoric, however, this sector remains underrealized. Thus, many countries across Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and the Middle East are still commodity-dependent, even though the global creative economy has grown roughly eightfold since 2002, to surpass $2 trillion—that figure, moreover, does not even account for the nonmonetary benefits that merit co ...

    School dropout remains a major challenge for education systems and public policy, with lasting consequences for human capital, labor market integration, social cohesion, and long-term economic growth. Despite sustained efforts to expand access to schooling, many countries continue to experience high dropout rates, particularly at key transition points in lower- and uppersecondary education. Policy responses have often relied on fragmented, sector-specific interventions—addressing ed ...

    Strategic hedging is rational when it preserves a worthwhile choice at a tolerable cost while respecting existing commitments. Drawing on the literature on hedging and Latin American autonomy, this Policy Brief examines contrasting illustrations of that proposition. It distinguishes ambiguity about future alignment from uncertainty about existing obligations and explains how clearly bounded commitments can reconcile autonomy with credibility. The cases reveal different vulnerabiliti ...
