Can inclusive growth reduce multidimensional poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Adama SAWADOGO, Noel THIOMBIANO, Relwendé SAWADOGO
Poverty is a major concern for policymakers in Sub-Saharan Africa, as this region alone accounts for more than half of the world’s poor. This research analyses the effect of inclusive growth on multidimensional poverty in a sample of 33 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 1996–2019. The results, derived from the first-difference esti(...)

Fungal Contaminants and Mycotoxins in Cassava and Cassava-Based Products in Africa: A Critical Analysis of Available Data
Ibonyé DIENI, François TAPSOBA, Touwendsida Serge BAGRE, Boureima Kagambèga, Wendenso Patrick Bertrand Tiendrébéogo and Nicolas BARRO
A literature review spanning 1999-2025 across Africa revealed a high prevalence of fungal and mycotoxin contamination in cassava and its derivatives. Predominant molds include Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium, with contamination rates averaging 80% - 100%. Climatic factors and inadequate agricultural and storage practices exacerbate cont(...)

Pre-treatment of Printed Circuit Boards using eco-environmentally friendly techniques to concentrate metals prior their hydrometallurgical recovery and purification
Francis O. KONATE, Philippe ANCIA, Véronique VITRY, Arsène H. YONLI
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) from dismantled WEEE contain various materials such as polymers, ceramics, wood, and metals. Metal recovery is the main objective of effective and appropriate recycling of PCB waste. In addition to precious metals (Ag, Au, Pd, etc.), this waste contains other valuable metals (Cu, Sn, Fe, Al, etc.). A crucial step(...)

Gold recovery from printed circuit boards in an acidic environment: A case study in Burkina Faso
Woulou SOMDA, Francis O. KONATE, Wendpagnagda COMBERE, Rafiatou LENGANE, Arsène H. YONLI
This study deal with a method for gold recovery from printed circuit boards (PCBs) obtained from WEEE collected in Burkina Faso. After grinding PCB samples and leaching with aqua regia, a solution rich in metal ions were obtained, containing notably 6.04 μg/g of gold, a concentration roughly 200 times higher than that of conventional gold ores(...)
