    De plus en plus de pays africains se dotent d’universités virtuelles. Réponse pertinente, bien que partielle, au défi de la massification, leur déploiement soulève des défis techniques, institutionnels, culturels et de qualité des ressources mobilisées. En Afrique, dans un contexte de contraintes budgétaires manifestes sur l’enseignement supérieur, le coût de financement des infrastructures universitaires publiques est élevé. Les universités numériques semblent un moyen d’offrir un accès moins coûteux à la formation tout en répondant à l’enjeu de massification.

    Land corruption seriously threatens efforts to fight climate change and achieve a fair energy transition. By undermining climate programmes, projects and practices, it fuels increased carbon emissions and negative climate outcomes. It weakens tenure security and contributes to human rights violations. By channelling funds and resources towards elites, and supporting harmful or poorly managed projects, land corruption also erodes the legitimacy and credibility of the climate agenda, reducing popular support for vital action.

    L’accaparement des terres au Tchad est un phénomène nouveau, massif, et accumulateur visant le contrôle de large partie de terres riches agricoles. Le contexte tchadien correspond plus ou moins aux critères globalement admis pour définir l’accaparement des terres : la taille des emprises, les acteurs (passifs ou actifs), le contrôle des procédures, la légalité des acquisitions et l’utilisation des terres cédées. Les investisseurs étrangers se sont encore peu intéressés au foncier agricole tchadien. Le phénomène est porté par une classe d’investisseurs locaux.
