Specialties of Guéladio Cissé:
Sanitary engineer specialised in environmental sciences and environmental epidemiology (multidisciplinary studies on links between environment and health)
Approche éco systémique à la gestion de l’eau et de la santé en rapport avec les changements climatiques. Stratégies d’adaptation aux phénomènes de sécheresse et d’inondation dans quatre pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest (Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Mauritanie, Sénégal)
L’objectif de ce projet est de renforcer, par l'approche Ecosanté, les capacités des communautés à s'adapter aux processus de sécheresse aggravés par des phénomènes brusques d'inondations dans deux contextes climatiques (semi-aride et tropical humide) de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Le projet de 3 ans a obtenu un financement du CRDI (Canada) : mars 2009 - février 2012. Il combine 3 objectifs spécifiques portant respectivement sur a) la recherche scientifique sur l'environnement physique et social, b) les mesures d'adaptation, c) la collaboration régionale.
Certaines régions en Afrique de l'Ouest, bien que situées en zones arides, ont subi des phénomènes brusques d'inondations, ces dernières années. Les phénomènes de sécheresse et d’inondation paraissent incompatibles; pourtant, ils peuvent se superposer dans le temps en certains espaces, entraînant alors des conséquences désastreuses pour les communautés pauvres et vulnérables. Les zones exposées aux deux phénomènes de sécheresse et d'inondation ont besoin de recherche appliquée, pour éclairer les choix de stratégies d'adaptation. Le projet s'est fixé trois objectifs spécifiques: 1) Générer des connaissances scientifiques sur la complexité des liens entre changements climatiques, eau et santé au niveau communautaire et sur les options possibles d'adaptation 2) Renforcer les capacités d'adaptation des principales parties prenantes (chercheurs, décideurs politiques, ONG, communautés,…) pour faire face aux effets sanitaires résultant des processus de changements climatiques 3) Etablir une plateforme de collaboration régionale
