“…This population is relatively young and unevenly distributed in the country with a proportion of 36.2% whose age varies between 15 and 34 years. In addition, the characteristic of the young population is confirmed in several African countries (Gendreau, 1993;Garenne, 2011). Regarding to gender, the high frequency of women (57 to 70 %) shows real involvement of these women in livelihoods of the housekeeping.…”

"Conoro" is a traditional fermented condiments prepared from seeds of Baobab, Kapok and Okra. It is consumed by the North-Eastern Ivoirians. The aim was to report ethno-nutritional knowledge of "conôro" and to understand theirs uses. Data showed that respondents had a high knowledge level of "conôro" (86 to 96.67%). A significant difference is found in ethnic and age groups (p <0.05). Koulango were majority ethnic and people over 65 years old had the high knowledge level of "Conôro" to 96.8-100 % and 85.7-100 % respectively. Conoro’s utilization rates varied between 85.27 to 97.93 %. Sauces seasoning (ICF = 0.92) and addition of "Conôro" to other natural substances (ICF = 0.46) were respectively the most reported food and therapeutic uses. Blood pressure (ICF = 0.19) and abdominal pain after childbirth (ICF = 0.33) represented the most common treated diseases. "Conôro" was made from seeds taken individually or combined. The production processes of "conôro" were studied in different localities. Fermentation took 3 days in all localities. It was sold in dumpling form at 25 to 100 FCFA. The conservation time of "conôro" was from 6 to 12 months.

“…In this sense, it should be seen less as a theoretically substantive measure of family structure or support and more so as a ‘system for organizing the pattern of residence of a population accessible to interviewers…’ (van de Walle 2006, p. xxii). Within these limitations, they offer some advantages as described in van de Walle’s (2006) volume and by Garenne (2011). They are nationally representative and usually available at multiple time points and offer geographical detail not available in standard surveys.…”

Across settings, it has been shown that the co-residential household is an insufficient measure of family structure and support. However, it continues to be the primary means of population data collection. To address this problem, we have developed a new instrument – Kinship Support Tree (KST) – to collect kinship structure and support data on residential and non-residential kin and tested it on a sample of 462 single mothers and their children in a slum community in Nairobi, Kenya. This instrument is unique in four important ways: 1) it is not limited to the co-residential household; 2) it distinguishes potential from functional kin; 3) it incorporates multiple geospatial measures; and 4) it collects data on kin relationships from the perspective of children. In this paper, we describe the KST instrument, assess the data collected in comparison to data from household rosters, and consider the challenges and feasibility of administration of the KST.
