Le contexte

L’Algérie a adopté en 2011 un vaste programme des énergies renouvelables et de l’efficacité énergétique (PEREE). Ce dernier, mis à jour en 2015, vise la production de 22.000 MW d’électricité d’origine renouvelable à l’horizon 2030, dont plus de 60% (13.575MW) serait d’origine solaire photovoltaïque (figure 1).

Climate experts from Africa met in Kenya to discuss collaboration and technology transfer. Representatives from government, private sector, finance and research institutions gathered in Nairobi, Kenya.
 

Lime has a long tradition of use in construction, agriculture, water and waste treatment.

Pozzolanas and lime are the basis for alternative cements used instead of ordinary Portland cement. Testing is needed to determine the quality of the pozzolanas available.

Between February and May 2008, 'hunger riots' erupted in the South - particularly in African countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Egypt, Algeria, the Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Madagascar and Cameroon. The riots have provided a clear warning that populations can no longer face the increasing prices of basic food products - such as rice, groundnut oil, potatoes and corn.

“Une réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 7 à 22%, à l’horizon 2030, par rapport à un scénario de référence (Business As Usual - BAU), subordonnée aux soutiens en matière de financements extérieurs, de développement et de transfert technologique et de renforcement des capacités. Les 7 % de réduction des GES seront réalisés avec les moyens nationaux.” A greenhouse gas emission reduction of 7% to 22% by 2030 compared to business as usual (BAU) levels, conditional on external assistance for the financing of the development and transfer of technologies and capacity building.

The 193 individual country profiles capture the status and progress of all UN Member States, and the 80+ indicators include a wealth of information on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, in addition to intervention coverage, food supply, economics, and demography. This tool is particularly useful for nutrition champions at the country-level, as it presents a wide range of evidence needed to assess country progress in improving nutrition and nutrition-related outcomes.
