Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

BURKINA FASO STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO ON GENDER EQUALITY

B urkina Faso ratifi ed all regional and international conventions on

gender equality, adopted a national gender policy in 2009, established a dedicated ministry for the promotion of women and gender issues (now Ministry of Women, National Solidarity and Family) and developed a large number of action plans and gender programmes. However, discriminatory social norms and informal laws challenge the implementation and effi ciency of policies and programmes promoting gender equality across the country.Gender inequalities therefore persist and national averages often mask strong regional disparities. Urban settings are generally more favourable to women’s empowerment compared to rural areas.

While good progress has been made in ensuring equal access to education and free access to health services for pregnant women, women and girls are still largely discriminated against when it comes to social, economic and political opportunities. Nearly half of all women are married before the age of 18 and almost half of the Burkinabe population thinks that this is acceptable. When it comes to unpaid care work, 90% of people see it as a women’s responsibility and 70% do not think that this work should be shared. Burkinabe women also remain largely underrepresented in the political sphere with less than 10% representation in the national assembly, far below the global average of 23.3%.

The Burkina Faso study of the Social Institutions & Gender Index (SIGI), conducted by the OECD Development Centre in partnership with the Burkinabe Government, provides new evidence to better understand the root causes of persisting gender inequalities. Drawing on interviews with 5 600 Burkinabe people across the country’s 13 regions, SIGI assesses fi ve dimensions: discriminatory family codes, restricted physical integrity, son bias, restricted resources and assets, and restricted civil liberties.

BURKINA FASO : L’ÉGALITÉ DE GENRE N’EST PAS ENCORE GAGNÉE

Le Burkina Faso a ratifi é l’ensemble des conventions régionales et

internationales sur l’égalité de genre, a adopté une politique nationale genre en 2009, a créé un ministère dédié à la promotion de la femme et du genre (désormais : ministère de la femme, de la solidarité nationale et de la famille) et la mise en œuvre un grand nombre de plans d’actions et programmes genre. Cependant, les normes sociales et lois informelles discriminant les femmes mettent en cause l’application et l’effi cacité des politiques et programmes promouvant l’égalité femmes-hommes à travers le pays. Ainsi, les inégalités entre les sexes perdurent et les moyennes nationales tendent à masquer de fortes disparités régionales. Le milieu urbain est généralement plus favorable à l’émancipation des femmes que le milieu

rural. Si d’importants progrès ont été faits en matière de parité scolaire et d’accès gratuit aux services de santé pour les femmes enceintes, les fi lles et les femmes sont confrontées à de multiples obstacles empêchant leur autonomisation sociale, économique et politique. Une femme sur deux est mariée avant l’âge de 18 ans ; la pratique du mariage précoce est acceptée par près de la moitié de la population. Par ailleurs, 90 % de la population pense que le travail domestique non payé relève de la responsabilité des femmes  ; 70 % ne pense pas que ce travail devrait être partagé. Les femmes burkinabè restent également largement sous-représentées dans la sphère politique. Elles représentent moins de 10 % à l’Assemblée nationale, loin derrière la moyenne mondiale de 23.3 %.

L’étude pays de l’Indicateur : « Institutions sociales et égalité femme-homme » (SIGI) - Burkina Faso, menée par le Centre de développement de l’OCDE en partenariat avec le gouvernement burkinabé, fournit de nouvelles données empiriques sur les causes des inégalités persistantes. S’appuyant sur des entretiens menés avec 5 600 Burkinabè à travers les 13 régions du pays, l’étude évalue cinq indicateurs : discrimination au sein de la famille, atteintes à l’intégrité physique et morale, préséance pour les garçons, accès restreint aux ressources/biens et atteintes aux libertés civiles.
