Dynamiques des investissements dans les pays riverains de la Méditerranée - I...AFRIKASOURCES
Auteur: Martin FLEURY, Jean-Philippe PAYET (Cabinet R.M.D.A pour IPEMED)
Un nouveau paradigme se met en place en s’appuyant sur les principaux ressorts du Sud que sont la main d’œuvre qualifiée et hautement qualifiée, la présence de partenaires industriels bien installés dans leurs marchés, une base infrastructurelle solide qui continue à se moderniser, l’accès à des marchés émergents, en Méditerranée et au-delà, une jeunesse enthousiaste et des régimes politiques en transition qui sont tenus d’ériger l’économie en priorité. Dès lors, il ne s’agit plus de conserver au Nord les activités nécessitant une main d’œuvre qualifiée et de délocaliser au Sud les activités nécessitant une main d’œuvre abondante et bon marché, mais d’associer la main d’œuvre qualifiée du Sud, moins onéreuse que celle du Nord, aux activités à forte valeur ajoutée. Il ne s’agit pas non plus de remplacer les emplois qualifiés du Nord par des emplois qualifiés au Sud, mais d’intégrer des partenaires ou des segments localisés au Sud dans un projet commun de croissance sur le marché européen (500 millions de personnes) et sur le vaste marché africain émergent (2 milliards de personnes en 2050).

Is Mozambique’s 20 years of peace at risk ?AFRIKASOURCES
Political violence raises amid growing expectations for a future Gas Boom in Mozambique.
"A worst case scenario is a Nigerian-like rebellion (spilling out piracy in the Gulf of Guinea) with Mozambicans Groups attacking offshore platforms and disrupting maritime traffic in the region. But Governments of Tanzania, Mozambique and South Africa have already signed a tripartite pact to strengthen maritime security in Indian Ocean and fight piracy..."

Lettre au Ministre des Affaires EtrangèresAFRIKASOURCES
Le Président du Conseil Régional de La Réunion, Didier ROBERT et le Vice Président du Conseil général Roland ROBERT ont adressé une lettre au Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de la France M. Laurent Fabius. Courrier accusateur relatif à leur marginalisation durant les Rencontres pour les 30 ans de la Commission de l'Océan Indien (COI) qui se sont déroulés les 9 et 10 janvier dernier à Mahé.
1) Kenya's new president Uhuru Kenyatta appointed a Harvard-educated finance minister and nominated the first female foreign secretary. The private sector is optimistic about economic reforms.
2) Tax authorities in Congo failed to account for $88 million in mining revenues, and London-listed mining company ENRC faces a UK corruption probe over Congo operations.
3) Ethiopia is negotiating with Brazil, Russia and India to finance new rail projects, as it works to develop infrastructure and transform its economy.
This document is a Q&A about recent revelations of US government surveillance programs. It explains that the NSA has been collecting phone record metadata on millions of Americans under the Patriot Act since 2006 and information on foreigners from major tech companies through the PRISM program since 2007. These programs were authorized by secret courts but not revealed until leaks in 2013. While the government claims the goal is counterterrorism, critics argue it amounts to unprecedented domestic spying and the public deserves more transparency about surveillance of citizens.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OUTERMOST REGIONS FOR STRENGTHENING EU FOREIGN AND REGI...AFRIKASOURCES
The document discusses the importance of the Outermost Regions (OMRs) for strengthening the EU's foreign and regional relations. It outlines key characteristics of the OMRs, including their remote locations, legal status within the EU, and how their strategic locations provide opportunities for relations with neighboring countries and regions. The document also examines the EU's developing strategy regarding the OMRs, how the regions can contribute internally through policies and instruments, and their potential roles in the EU's external relations with regions like the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean areas.
An Ecosystems Approach to Water and Food SecurityAFRIKASOURCES
Recognising healthy ecosystems as the basis for sustainable water resources and stable food security can help produce more food from each unit of agricultural land, improve resilience to climate change and provide economic benefits for poor communities, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), in partnership with 19 other organizations.

The document discusses regional cooperation and integration in Africa dating back to the colonial era. It identifies four phases of regional integration:
1) During the colonial period when some countries were governed together despite being divided.
2) Immediately after independence when African countries tried to unite, including forming the OAU.
3) In the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union which ended ideological divides and saw increased globalization.
4) A current shift in political and economic power from the West to East and Latin America, seen through investments in infrastructure, manufacturing and industrial strategies within integration programs.
In Madagascar, donors have traditionally counted for almost half of the Government’s budget and have been, by far, the main source of funding in social sectors. Since the beginning of the crisis, official aid toward education, health and social protection surged, reaching almost US$260 million in 2010 against US$180 million in 2008. This increase failed nonetheless to improve significantly social indicators. Does it mean that (i) aid works but the country did not get enough of it to counterbalance the effects of the current political and economic crisis, or (ii) aid effectiveness has been limited and there is a need to improve its quality rather than its quantity?
This document provides an overview of doing business in Comoros.

The document also analyzes challenges to maximizing the benefits of this partnership and maintaining regional stability.
Lexington Institute Study by Dr. Daniel Goure
The Rapid Equipping Force and Rapid Fielding Initiative should be programs of record to ensure that the best equipment is available should units deploy. Appropriate budgets must be set and funds made available for operational units to purchase mission specific operational equipment through rapid acquisition contractual vehicles such as the Defense Logistics Agency’s Tailored Logistics Support contract or General Services Administration contracts.
