Increasing resilience needs to be one of the main guiding principles when rebuilding our economies and societies after the crisis. We need to ensure we are better prepared to withstand future pandemics but also the other major looming threat to humanity—climate change.

Les responsables de l'administration territoriale du Bénin et du Burkina Faso ont tenu en début de semaine, un atelier d'échanges sur la coopération transfrontalière entre les deux pays. L'objectif de ces assises présidées par le colonel Prosper Sanou, gouverneur de la région de l'Est du Burkina Faso et le directeur général de l'Agence béninoise de gestion intégrée des espaces frontaliers (ABEGIEF), Marcel Baglo, est de définir un Accord-cadre sur la coopération transfrontalière entre les deux pays au regard des conflits qui y sont enregistrés.
L'Accord-cadre selon AFRIMAG, devrait permettre de remédier à certains dysfonctionnements tels que l'absence de cadre légal régissant la coopération administrative transfrontalière dans les deux pays, l'insuffisance des actions de communication et de mobilisation des acteurs autour des questions transfrontalières puis l'insécurité et les conflits dans les zones transfrontalières.
Intervenant à l'occasion de cette rencontre, le, gouverneur de la région de l'Est au Burkina Faso a rappelé que « les Etats africains ont hérité des frontières définies par le colonisateur sans tenir compte des réalités socioculturelles et identitaires des populations autochtones qui se trouvent ainsi séparées par une ligne imaginaire, le plus souvent après des générations, voire des siècles de vie commune ».
Dans la même perspective, le directeur général de l'ABEGIEF, Marcel Baglo, fait savoir que du fait de la colonisation, les États ont été séparés en plusieurs unités territoriales renfermant une diversité d'ethnies disparates. « Chaque appel de s'associer aux autres pour créer des regroupements en vue d'amorcer le processus d'une réelle intégration, demeure sans réponse du fait que cette démarche exige un transfert de souveraineté par les États », a-t-il ajouté.
Ainsi, cette volonté du Bénin et du Burkina Faso de se retrouver dans un cadre bilatéral pour aplanir les tensions, témoigne de ce que leur espace frontalier sert de cadre de vie à un ensemble de groupes ethnolinguistiques liés par l'histoire.
Pour le préfet de l'Atacora, Déré Chabi Nah, l'Accord-cadre qui sera issu de cet atelier constitue une base légale pour bénéficier de projets intégrateurs avec l'appui des partenaires techniques et financiers, étant donné que les populations des zones frontalières des deux pays expriment depuis longtemps, les besoins élémentaires pour leur mieux-être.
Selon AFRIMAG, au niveau de la zone frontalière entre le Bénin et le Burkina Faso, on assiste souvent à des incursions de l'armée béninoise en terre burkinabè notamment dans la zone de Koalou et alentours qui s'étendent sur une superficie de 68 km2, et revendiquée par les deux pays. Un conflit frontalier larvé aurait été porté devant la Cour internationale de justice de la Haye en mai 2009.

We call for strengthening the Global Financial Safety Net (GFSN) to manage the economic effects of the outbreak of COVID-19, in particular the massive capital outflows from emerging market and developing economies and the global shortage of dollar liquidity. Both the United Nations (UN) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimate that emerging market and developing countries (EMDEs) need an immediate $2.5 trillion, yet the financing available to them is just $700 to $971 billion. To meet these immediate needs we propose to: (i) broaden the coverage of the Federal Reserve currency swaps; (ii) issue at least $500 billion of Special Drawing Rights through the IMF; (iii) improve the IMF’s precautionary and emergency facilities; (iv) establish a multilateral swap facility at the IMF; (v) increase the resources and geographic coverage of Regional Financial Arrangements; (vi) coordinate capital flow management measures; (vii) initiate debt restructuring and relief initiatives; and (viii) request that credit-rating agencies stop making downgrades during the emergency. It argues that beyond these immediate measures, leaders should swiftly move to address the following structural gaps in the GFSN: (i) agree on a quota reform at the IMF; (ii) create an appropriate Sovereign Debt Restructuring Regime; (iii) expand surveillance activity; and (iv) adopt IMF governance reform and strengthen its relations with all agents of the GFSN. All of these immediate and intermediate reforms must be calibrated toward a just transition to a more stable, inclusive, and sustainable global economy

A major issuance of special drawing rights (SDRs) through the International Monetary Fund would be a key tool to provide financial support to developing and emerging economies and limit the economic and financial fallout of the COVID-19 crisis. SDRs are an unconditional resource, and the case for such an allocation is very strong during an exogenous shock, such as the current one. An SDR allocation would enhance the international liquidity in the hands of emerging and developing countries, so that public responses to the health crisis are not imperilled by financial crises. Close to two-fifths of a new SDR allocation would directly go to developing and emerging economies. In addition, a new mechanism should be created through which countries that do not need their SDR allocation lend them to the IMF, to increase the Fund’s lending capacity. Developed countries can also allocate the SDRs they do not use for official development assistance.
