Confronté depuis quelques années à de sérieux problèmes, le système belge de coopération pour le développement est aujourd'hui à un tournant critique. Un plan d'action a été élaboré par le Secrétaire d'Etat à la Coopération et des réformes fondamentales ont été entreprises. Ce plan d'action, intitulé "Annoncer la couleur -- Plan d'avenir pour la coopération belge au développement", a été favorablement accueilli par le Comité d'aide au développement (CAD) de l'OCDE. Lors de son examen triennal de la politique et du programme d'aide de la Belgique le Comité a également pris note de la volonté du Secrétaire d'Etat de concevoir un programme de coopération qui dépasse le cadre des considérations économiques et sociales, et tienne pleinement compte des valeurs fondamentales de la société. Compte tenu des pratiques optimales en usage parmi les donneurs, le Comité s'est déclaré favorable à différentes mesures susceptibles d'augmenter l'efficience et l'efficacité du programme belge de coopération pour le développement : accroître l'efficacité par une plus grande décentralisation des tâches d'exécution et contrôler l'efficience grâce à une politique active de suivi, d'évaluation et de rétroaction des résultats ; améliorer la qualification du personnel en renforcant les formations sur les thèmes-clés du développement et en instaurant un système de rotation entre le siège et les représentations locales ; élaborer des stratégies par pays basées sur une approche de partenariat ; concentrer les efforts de coopération technique sur le renforcement des capacités locales. Au cours de l'année 1998 des examens de politique en matière de coopération pour le développement sont prévus pour les Membres du CAD suivants : Canada, Espagne, Etats-Unis, Allemagne, Communauté européenne, Finlande et Luxembourg.

Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

G.HAINNAUX Departement Milieu et Activites Agricoles, Centre ORSTOM, 911 Avenue d' Agropolis, B.P. 5045, 34032 Montpellier Cedex , France. Solid state fermentation, popularly abbreviated as SSF, is currently investigated by many groups throughout the world. The study of this technique was largely neglected in the past in European and Western countries and there is now a high demand for SSF, meaning in food, environment, agricultural, phannaceutical and many other biotechnological applications. It gives me satisfaction to note that the importance of this technique was realised at my department way back in 1975 since then, our team has put concentrated efforts on developing this technique. xvii Foreword Advances in Solid State Fermentation Foreword M. PUYGRENIER Agropolis Valorisation, Avenue d' Agropolis, 34394 Montpellier Cedex 5, France. On the name of the Scientific Community, I would like to express the wish that this International Symposium on SSF should be successful. Solid State Fermentation is part of biotechnology research. It consists on seeding solid culture medium with bacteria or fungi (filamentous or higher) and on producing, in this medium (solid components and exudates) metabolites and high value products. In fact, this process is very old. In older industries such the food and agricultural, this technique has been extensively used. An example of this is the production of pork sausages and Roquefort cheese. Pharmaceutical industry could make extensive use of SSF in the production of secondary metabolites of many kinds and development in this direction is soon expected.

This book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.
