Can inclusive growth reduce multidimensional poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Adama SAWADOGO, Noel THIOMBIANO, Relwendé SAWADOGO
Poverty is a major concern for policymakers in Sub-Saharan Africa, as this region alone accounts for more than half of the world’s poor. This research analyses the effect of inclusive growth on multidimensional poverty in a sample of 33 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 1996–2019. The results, derived from the first-difference esti(...)

A mathematical model study with crowley-Martin functional responses to describe fish and zooplankton dynamics
Wendkouni Ouedraogo, Hamidou Ouedraogo, Ousmane Koutou, Boureima Sangare
In this paper, we consider a reaction-diffusion model with homogeneous Neumann
boundary conditions to describe fish and zooplankton dynamics. This model incorporates
a complex Crowley-Martin functional responses. We also introduce two important
elements: fishing and cannibalism effect in the dynamics. In the mathematical
analysis, global a(...)

Fungal Contaminants and Mycotoxins in Cassava and Cassava-Based Products in Africa: A Critical Analysis of Available Data
Ibonyé DIENI, François TAPSOBA, Touwendsida Serge BAGRE, Boureima Kagambèga, Wendenso Patrick Bertrand Tiendrébéogo and Nicolas BARRO
A literature review spanning 1999-2025 across Africa revealed a high prevalence of fungal and mycotoxin contamination in cassava and its derivatives. Predominant molds include Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium, with contamination rates averaging 80% - 100%. Climatic factors and inadequate agricultural and storage practices exacerbate cont(...)
