Le genre au temps des pandémies: Comprendre les crises sanitaires et planifier des réponses genrées, du 4 nov. au 8 déc. 2020
English version coming on February 2021
Les questions de genre passent souvent au second plan face à l'urgence d'agir en temps de pandémie. Les crises du VIH/Sida, MERS, H1N1, Ebola ou Zika ont pourtant démontré l’importance de l’approche intersectionnelle et genrée pour répondre de manière adéquate aux besoins différenciés des populations. La pandémie de COVID-19, au scénario sans précédent, a une fois encore exacerbé les inégalités et éclairé les discriminations fondées sur le genre, la classe sociale, l’âge, le groupe ethnique et le handicap. Mais elle a aussi confirmé la capacité des femmes à résister et s’organiser face aux situations de crise, et entrouvert des fenêtres de changement. Il devient urgent de tirer les leçons du passé, de s'outiller, et de planifier des réponses stratégiques qui réduisent durablement les inégalités de genre et endiguent les effets des crises qui les font perdurer.
Public cible
Cette formation s’adresse aux responsables et praticien·ne·s des secteurs public, privé et non gouvernemental ainsi qu'aux chercheur·e·s qui souhaitent s’approprier des méthodes et outils pour intégrer le genre dans la gestion des pandémies.
Objectifs
- Analyser comment les pandémies produisent et/ou aggravent les inégalités dans les différentes régions du monde via une approche genrée et intersectionnelle
- Comprendre, à travers les approches féministes, l'impact des modèles de développement et des politiques publiques sur les inégalités structurelles de genre
- Acquérir des méthodes et des outils pour adapter ou élaborer des programmes et des projets plus inclusifs et plus égalitaires
- Planifier des réponses stratégiques genrées à court, moyen, et/ou long terme

Les Partenariats Public-Privé (PPP): Comment offrir de meilleures infrastructures pour les services publics
Partout dans le monde et en particulier dans les pays émergents, les gouvernements rencontrent des difficultés à mettre en place et à maintenir les infrastructures nécessaires à la stabilité économique et à la prestation de services publics de base pour les citoyens.
Les partenariats public-privé (PPP) se proposent de résoudre ces problèmes. Mis en place correctement, ils permettent non seulement de réduire les déficits d’infrastructures, mais peuvent aussi améliorer la prestation de service.
Ce cours en ligne gratuit présente une vue d’ensemble sur le rôle des PPP dans la mise en place des infrastructures de services. Les participants bénéficieront de l’expertise de praticiens ayant une expérience de terrain, de fonctionnaires d’Etat, et d’universitaires de renom, sur les opportunités et les défis que présentent la construction et la maintenance efficace d’infrastructures affectées aux services publics, en utilisant le mécanisme des PPP.
Le cours, qu'il est possible de commencer à n'importe quelle date, ouvre le 27 juillet pour quatre semaines de cours. Inscrivez-vous, c’est gratuit !
Programme du cours:
SEMAINE 1: Réduire le déficit d’infrastructure: le rôle des PPP
SEMAINE 2: Prendre les bonnes décisions: les cadres législatifs et institutionnels des PPP
SEMAINE 3: Susciter l’engagement du partenaire approprié: la passation des PPP
SEMAINE 4: Obtenir un partenariat réussi: la mise en œuvre du PPP

An Introduction to Farmer-Led Irrigation Course
Global Development Institute (GDI)
Improving agricultural productivity is key to achieving food security, economic growth and rural employment in Africa – and irrigation plays a vital role. In the last few years, there’s been a growing recognition of the contribution and potential of farmer-led irrigation systems. Farmer-led irrigation development appears to exceed the extent of all public and corporate irrigation schemes. This free, online introductory course provides a summary of the many practical and policy questions which are raised by the phenomenon of farmer-led irrigation development in Africa. The course is aimed at practitioners, researchers and students interested in finding out more about the issues around farmer-led irrigation. It can be completed at your own pace and has been optimised to work in locations with low bandwidth. It features introductions to key concepts, interviews with farmers engaged in irrigation, practical advice and policy implications around farmer-led irrigation. Links to further reading and more information are included for those who wish to interrogate the topic more deeply.DegreeCourse TypeLanguage

Industrial Policy in the 21st Century – The Challenge for Africa
United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) is launching its Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), Industrial Policy in the 21st Century – the Challenge for Africa, as a self-paced course.
This course is based on a decade of research by UNU-WIDER, in partnership with the Brookings Institute, inspired by three key questions: Why is there so little industry in Africa? Does it matter? Is there something we can do about it? According to the World Bank, Africa’s working-age population is expected to increase by nearly 70% by 2035. Without industrialization to create jobs, it will be difficult to achieve sustainable development. While manufacturing led to rapid industrialization in East Asian countries, there is doubt that it can have the same effect in Africa. The question is, if not through manufacturing, how can Africa promote economic growth? In this UNU-WIDER course, brought to you via the SDG Academy, you will hear from John Page and other leading voices in development economics about the range of activities known as ‘industries without smokestacks’, and learn how industrial policy that promotes the growth of these industries presents a win-win scenario for economic development in Africa.United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), Finland

Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)
Technology innovation can be a great enabler for development in low and middle-income countries. This course presents a methodology and an approach to develop impactful innovations that have the power to foster sustainable development. Whether you are from an industrialized or a developing country, whether you are employed in a company, an NGO, an international organization or a government. Whether you are an academic, an independent entrepreneur, or simply a passionate individual, this course is for you. You will learn how, as an innovator, you can help solve important issues that burden those living in poverty. Through practical examples, we will demonstrate how you can take your initiative from a blank sheet of paper through to large-scale deployment of your technology innovation. This course is not just about coming up with a nice idea, or designing a nice prototype, but more importantly, about sustainably deploying it at large scale. It fosters an entrepreneurial approach, as you will learn how to design business models that are relevant to address development-related challenges. It encourages co-creating the solution with the key stakeholders involved, including the affected populations. Coming-up with solutions that are more affordable and more durable, that require less use of consumables and electricity while still being economically viable, concerns all of us, and not just the people living in poverty. There is no previous knowledge required.What you'll learn
