Mesure de l'efficacité technique des riziculteurs du bassin du fleuve Sénégal

Résumé Les dernières initiatives internationales en matière d’allégement de dette ont créé un nouveau contexte économique et financier en Zone franc. Il importe désormais de le pérenniser. L’action des pactes de convergence en Zone CEMAC et UEOMA peut y contribuer à condition que leurs dispositifs soient profondément remaniés afin de promouvoir les conditions d’une croissance économique forte, d’un développement durable et de satisfaire aux nouvelles exigences en matière de réduction de la pauvreté.

This article uses the theoretical framework of the capabilities approach to offer a structural assessment model of well-being in the context of Senegal. To this end, we mobilize the Senegalese data (ESPS-II) and an evaluation space including basic and central capabilities of [1] and [2], which are: living conditions, education and health body, non-institutional support and good governance, on the one hand, and the three dimensions of well-being (economic well-being, life satisfaction and subjective well-being), on the other hand. With the modeling technique by structural equations: PLS-PM (Partial Linear Square-Path Modeling), we find that the estimation model of well-being has built good predictive quality. In addition, it shows that the basic capabilities (education, living conditions and health of the body) positively determine well-being (economic well-being, subjective well-being and life satisfaction). Also, economic well-being and life satisfaction positively predict and cause subjective well-being. Contrariwise, non-institutional support and good governance do not significantly cause subjective well-being. Between these two capabilities, only good governance has a significant and positive effect on life satisfaction.

This chapter examines the articulation of two powerful determiners of individual and collective actions in the African context—culture and economy—from a point of view that could be called civilizational. The question is to determine in what measure the efficiency of an economic system is linked to its degree of adequation with its cultural context on one hand and, on the other, whether the efficiency of the resulting social system is dependent on respect of the functions assigned to each order by the group. A fruitful dialectics between economics and culture requires on one hand the assignation of each order to the finality for which it is the most efficient and, on the other hand, a better rooting of the African economies in their respective sociocultures.
