Book Synopsis Le potentiel transformateur de l’industrie minière en Afrique by : Sudeshna Ghosh Banerjee
Download or read book Le potentiel transformateur de l’industrie minière en Afrique written by Sudeshna Ghosh Banerjee and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa needs power—power to enhance the welfare of its people and expand its economies. But Sub-Saharan Africa’s power sector has the lowest generation capacity in the world. Two-thirds of the regional population remains without electricity and even those with access consume the least among the world’s regions. Businesses say unreliable electricity is a major hurdle. Meanwhile, vast energy resources remain untapped. One possible solution is to leverage the mining industry’s substantial need for power as an anchor for energy infrastructure development. 'The Power of the Mine: A Transformative Opportunity for Sub-Saharan Africa' is the first study to systematically analyze both the potential and the challenges of power-mining integration. The findings show that industry demand for electricity can be a game changer. Mining operations often devote a quarter or more of operating costs to electricity. This consistent, high-volume demand can spur development of national power systems, thus expanding electrification for the populace. As a result, citizens can also benefit from safe, adequate access to electricity. Countries benefit from larger exports and tax revenues, more business and job opportunities, and higher GDP. Utilities benefit from having creditworthy mining partners as a core source of revenue that attracts investment. And mines benefit from the significant cost reductions a stable power grid provides. 'The Power of the Mine' will be of interest to policymakers, researchers, and business analysts engaged in energy infrastructure development.
Book Synopsis Accès à l’électricité en Afrique subsaharienne by : Moussa P. Blimpo
Download or read book Accès à l’électricité en Afrique subsaharienne written by Moussa P. Blimpo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un accès fiable à l’électricité est un impératif pour toute économie moderne. La révolution numérique en fait davantage une exigence cruciale. Et pourtant, le taux d’accès à l’électricité en Afrique subsaharienne reste substantiellement faible. Les ménages et les entreprises sont confrontés à des problèmes de fiabilité et les coûts d’accès et d’usage sont parmi les plus élevés au monde. Cette situation constitue une contrainte majeure pour l’activité économique, la pénétration des nouvelles technologies de l’information, la qualité du service publique et le bien-être social. L’essentiel des efforts visant à garantir la fiabilité du service et à optimiser les coûts s’est focalisé sur l’atténuation des problèmes liés à l’offre. L’offre se caractérise en effet par des investissements inadéquats dans l’entretien des infrastructures entrainant des pertes techniques et financières importantes. Les échanges inter-Etats en matière d’énergie, qui éventuellement pourraient réduire les coûts liés à l’offre demeurent très faibles. Au-delà de l’offre, les contraintes liées à la demande sont parfois beaucoup plus sévères. Alors que la volonté de souscrire au service reste assez faible dans la plupart des communautés, le niveau d’utilisation ne s’est considérablement pas amélioré pour les ménages connectés au réseau. Une croissance de la consommation de l’électricité pourrait dès lors stimuler de nouveaux investissements et progressivement palier au déficit d’accès. Comment y parvenir ? Le livre Accès à l’electricité en Afrique subsaharienne démontre la pertinence d’aborder cette problématique principalement sous l’angle de la pauvreté et du manque d’opportunités plutôt que dans la perspective d’un défi lié à l’accès à l’énergie. L’objectif principal est de permettre non seulement aux ménages et aux entreprises d’avoir un accès fiable à l’électricité et les moyens d’en utiliser, mais surtout de faire en sorte que les compagnies d’électricité puissent recouvrer les coûts de production et de faire du profit. La solution est un mix complexe de facteurs financiers, politiques et géographiques. Le livre recommande que les décideurs adoptent une approche plus globale en mettant l’accent sur les objectifs de développement de long-terme et en se focalisant sur l’usage productif. Cette approche nécessite d’accorder plus d’importance aux problèmes de fiabilité et de systématiquement penser aux facteurs complémentaires nécessaires pour faciliter la promotion des activités génératrices de revenus.
Download or read book Une Transtion Juste written by NJ Ayuk and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EN SEULEMENT QUELQUES DÉCENNIES, les pays du monde entier sont devenus bien plus interdépendants qu’on n’aurait jamais pu l’imaginer. Notre regard sur le monde évolue et, avec lui, la demande pour que les cultures et les institutions politiques de la planète « pensent globalement » se fait croissante. Si penser globalement est souvent pavé de bonnes intentions, agir globalement sans tenir compte des réalités locales peut produire des résultats involontairement néfastes. Dans Une Transition juste, le célèbre auteur et entrepreneur camerounais NJ Ayuk montre comment cette triste réalité advient alors que les ambitieuses politiques de l’Agence internationale de l’énergie (AIE) en matière d’énergie verte étouffent et paralysent les économies énergétiques de l’Afrique. Avec une abondance naturelle de ressources pétrolières et gazières, l’Afrique a le potentiel d’être un leader mondial de l’énergie, mais l’énergie verte seule ne permettra pas d’opérer cette transformation. Une Transition juste analyse en détail la possibilité d’un avenir radieux pour les pays africains et les facteurs qui y font obstacle. NJ Ayuk nous présente un récit détaillé dans lequel il aborde avec expertise des sujets importants comme la réalité de la précarité énergétique, la valeur du gaz naturel en Afrique, l’impact néfaste de l’aide internationale en Afrique, l’adoption des nouvelles technologies ou encore la création de débouchés économiques pour les femmes. Avec une gouvernance réfléchie, du flair pour les perspectives d’avenir et l’attention toute particulière que les pays touchés par des réformes de grande envergure méritent, le continent africain est en mesure d’opérer une transition vers les énergies renouvelables juste et florissante pour toutes les parties concernées.
Book Synopsis Mining in Africa by : Bonnie Campbell

Book excerpt: The continent of Africa is rich in minerals needed by Western economies, but rather than forming the basis for economic growth the mining industry contributes very little to African development Investigating the impact of the 2003 Extractive Industries Review on a number of African countries, the contributors find the root of the problem in the controls imposed on the African countries by the IMF and World Bank. They aim to convince academics, governments and industry that regulation needs to be reformed to create a mining industry favourable towards social, economic and environmental development. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach and provides a historical perspective of each country, making it ideal for students of development studies and development organizations.

Download or read book Eskom written by Sylvy Jaglin and published by Juta and Company (Pty) Ltd. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa’s leading producer of electricity, Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd, is also a vertically integrated monopoly, owned by the South African state. This national champion was shaken in 2008, when it was obliged to introduce ‘load shedding’, or rolling blackouts, and again in late 2014. Trying to understand how and why one of the iconic pillars of South African state capitalism is now in distress, the authors of this book argue that the so-called electricity crisis is in fact a public monopoly crisis. Moving beyond technical aspects, they explore the relationship between state power and Eskom before, during and after apartheid. From this perspective, they suggest that the current technical and financial troubles of this public utility are illustrative of the weakening of its technopolitical regime, of how national institutions have governed Eskom’s technological development, and of the pursuit of political goals in the production of electrical power. Without a clear industrial strategy during the 2000s, Eskom became a powerful tool of Broad-Black Economic Empowerment as well as a neopatrimonial system which generates profits captured by the ruling party. As a result, crisis in Eskom shakes the whole political edifice. Inefficient and its finances increasingly under scrutiny, this state-owned enterprise’s existence as a monopolistic public utility is regularly a subject of debate. The authors discuss the ambivalent role of Eskom in the national energy transition policy and whether solutions point in the direction of de-integrating this public monopoly and allowing its current technopolitical regime to enter a planned or natural decline.
Book Synopsis Street Addressing and the Management of Cities by : Catherine Farvacque-Vitkovi?
Download or read book Street Addressing and the Management of Cities written by Catherine Farvacque-Vitkovi? and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a dramatic demographic shift from rural areas to cities in sub-Saharan African countries over the last few decades. This continuing urbanisation trend has created new challenges for local governments in terms of managing urban services, since over half of the city streets in these countries have no names or addresses, and the problem is particularly acute in the poorest neighbourhoods. This publication examines the use of street addressing initiatives to address this problem, giving information on current and future applications, considering examples of use in many African countries, and setting out a methodological guide for implementing such initiatives.

Book Synopsis The State Strikes Back by : Nicholas R. Lardy
Download or read book The State Strikes Back written by Nicholas R. Lardy and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's extraordinarily rapid economic growth since 1978, driven by market-oriented reforms, has set world records and continued unabated, despite predictions of an inevitable slowdown. In The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China?, renowned China scholar Nicholas R. Lardy argues that China's future growth prospects could be equally bright but are shadowed by the specter of resurgent state dominance, which has begun to diminish the vital role of the market and private firms in China's economy. Lardy's book arrives in timely fashion as a sequel to his pathbreaking Markets over Mao: The Rise of Private Business in China, published by PIIE in 2014. This book mobilizes new data to trace how President Xi Jinping has consistently championed state-owned or controlled enterprises, encouraging local political leaders and financial institutions to prop up ailing, underperforming companies that are a drag on China's potential. As with his previous book, Lardy's perspective departs from conventional wisdom, especially in its contention that China could achieve a high growth rate for the next two decades—if it reverses course and returns to the path of market-oriented reforms.
