    Au Mali, au début des années 1990, la décentralisation fut d’abord un acte politique permettant de proposer une solution viable au problème de la rébellion touarègue.Ensuite, les aspirations aux idées occidentales démocratiques (pluralisme politique,liberté de la presse, etc.) d’une partie des élites urbaines ont rencontré les plans des occidentaux pour le développement de l’Afrique pour donner un système de décentralisation territoriale à la française, mais où la commune est composée d’un ensemble

    Mali

    This study was part of a larger analysis of the framework of sustainable rural livelihoods in the face of urban sprawl in peri-urban rural areas of Mali. Contrary to the existing literature, which has mostly focused on issues of land rights in Mali due to the fact of urbanization, this study analyzed the consequences of urbanization in the city of Ségou on the major sources of livelihoods for residents in the neighboring rural municipality of Sebougou. Three villages in the municipality of Sebougou were selected due to the fact of their proximity to the city of Ségou.

    Cette étude est un document de synthèse dont l’objectif est de contribuer au développement d’une approche des SADA centrée sur le consommateur comme acteur autonome. Après un bref rappel sur la faible place qu’occupe le consommateur urbain africain dans les politiques, programmes et recherches sur les SADA africains, il est proposé un cadre d’analyse qui prenne en compte les différentes dimensions culturelles, sociologiques et économiques du concept de consommateur urbain en Afrique francophone de l’ouest.

    n all African towns specific modes of transport - mechanized and non- mechanized - have developed which play an essential role in distributing food between different markets and supplying the whole informal trading sector. These modes of transport, which provide an ideal service for the small volumes handled and the weak financial capacity of the wholesalers and retailers, play an essential role in maintaining low-cost inter-urban redistribution. What is known about the “artisanal” sector of urban goods transport?

    La loi fournit les bases à tous les systèmes de distribution alimentaire et est essentielle pour assurer leur développement. La législation est probablement l’instrument le plus important dont disposent les Etats pour réguler les systèmes de distribution et modifier leur fonctionnement dans le but d’atteindre certains objectifs sociaux souhaitables.

    While modern food distribution systems are evolving in many cities, more traditional and often informal forms of food supply continue to be vitally important in the towns and cities of developing countries and countries in transition. They are important because they can best cater to the specific needs of poor urban households. They also provide employment and income to low income households, and supply food products and services that are tailored to the particular needs of urban consumers.

    The issue of supplying food to African towns will remain a major challenge in the coming years in view of the steep urban growth, the small increase in extensive agricultural production and the risks of bottlenecks in the supply and distribution circuits. Yet it is very difficult to summarize this issue for French-speaking Africa. The situations vary widely and are reversible. Information systems are rather unreliable.
