Incidences potentielles de la sortie de la catégorie des PMA Cambodge, Comores, Djibouti, Sénégal et Zambie
Lorsqu’un pays sort de la catégorie des pays les moins avancés (PMA) c’est-à-dire lorsqu’il « est reclassé » il cesse de bénéficier des mesures de soutien international réservées aux PMA (dans certains cas ces mesures sont disponibles pendant une certaine période après le reclassement dénommée période de transition sans heurt). La présente note d’orientation présente une vue d’ensemble des effets attendus du retrait des mesures de soutien international spécifiques aux PMA au Cambodge aux Comores à Djibouti au Sénégal et en Zambie. Ces pays ont atteint les seuils de reclassement du Comité des politiques de développement (CPD) pour la première fois en 2021 et conformément aux procédures établies ils seront à nouveau évalués en 2024 date à laquelle leur reclassement pourrait être recommandé.
Борьба с бедностью в Сенегале: большие данные приходят на помощь
Более 7 из 10 жителей Сенегала считаются бедными. Эта оценка основана на данных собран-ных в рамках обследования доходов и потребления домохозяйств и в ходе переписи населения. Однако такой подход является дорогостоящим и требует значительных людских ресур-сов из-за чего многие развивающиеся страны проводят подобные исследо-вания лишь время от времени — а это ограничивает возможности монито-ринга бедности. Еще одна трудность в том что традиционный метод дает неточное представление о ситуации.
Le big data au service de la lutte contre la pauvreté au Sénégal
Au Sénégal plus de sept personnes sur dix sont considérées comme pauvres. Cette estimation repose sur des données recueillies lors d’enquêtes sur les revenus et la consommation des ménages couplées au recensement de la population. Le problème c’est qu’une telle approche coûteuse nécessite d’importantes ressources humaines. De fait de nombreux pays en développement ne réalisent de telles enquêtes que de loin en loin ce qui limite le suivi de la pauvreté. Autre écueil : l’approche classique donne aussi une photographie imprécise de la situation.
Using Big Data to diagnose poverty in Senegal
In Senegal more than seven out of ten people are considered poor. This estimate is based on data collected through household income and consumption surveys coupled with the population census. The problem is that such an approach is costly and requires significant human resources. In fact many developing countries conduct such surveys only at rare intervals which limits the monitoring of poverty. Another pitfall is that the traditional approach also provides an inaccurate picture of the situation.
El big data ayuda a combatir la pobreza en Senegal
En Senegal más de siete personas de cada diez son pobres. Esta estimación se basa en datos recogidos por encuestas sobre el ingreso y el consumo de los hogares combinados con el censo de población. El problema es que este método resulta muy costoso ya que necesita recursos humanos considerables. Muchos países en desarrollo solo realizan este tipo de encuestas de vez en cuando lo que limita el seguimiento de la pobreza. Y hay una dificultad añadida: el enfoque clásico ofrece una imagen imprecisa de la situación.
البيانات الضّخمة في خدمة مكافحة الفقرفي السنغال
في السينغال، يُعَدّ أكثر من سبعة من أصل عشرة أشخاص من الفقراء. ويستند هذا التّقدير إلى البيانات المجمّعة من الدّراسات الاستقصائية عن دخل الأسر واستهلاكها، والمقرونة ببيانات التّعداد السكاني. ويكمن الإشكال في الكلفة المرتفعة لهذه المقاربة التي تتطلّب موارد بشريّة كبيرة. وفي الواقع، فإنّ العديد من البلدان النّامية لا تُجري مثل هذه الدراسات الاستقصائية سوى في فترات متباعدة، وهو ما يعوق عمليّة رصد الفقر ومتابعته. في حين يتمثّل العائق الثاني في كون المقاربة الكلاسيكية لا تعطي صورة دقيقة عن الوضع.
Potential Impacts of LDC Graduation: Cambodia, Comoros, Djibouti, Senegal and Zambia
When a country leaves or “graduates from” the least developed countries (LDC) category it ceases to benefit from international support measures that are exclusive to LDCs (in some cases these measures are available for a set period after graduation known as a smooth transition period). This Policy Note provides an overview of the expected impacts of the withdrawal of LDC-specific international support measures in Cambodia Comoros Djibouti Senegal and Zambia. These countries met the Committee for Development Policy (CDP)’s graduation thresholds for the first time in 2021 and according to the established procedures will be assessed again in 2024 when they may be recommended for graduation.
Start-up success in Senegal
I decided to start up an e-commerce business in Senegal back in 2011. At the time I was still a student at the University of Grenoble in France. However I initially abandoned my entrepreneurship dream because I lacked critical elements including co-founders with complementary skillsaccess to experienced people for advice and a lack of access to information.
