  Cybercriminalité et cybersécurité au Cameroun et en Afrique

  Représentations, manifestations, financement et traitements des menaces

  Due to the exponential increase in the cybercriminality phenomena, the development of huge investments in digitalization, the adoption of a law on cyber security and cybercriminality, as well as a national policy of cyber security, Cameroon has become a new center of gravity and reference of cyber security in Central Africa ; even if knowledge on the phenomenon is still fragmentary. Prior to the opening of a Professional Master on cyber security and security governance at the University of Dschang, this colloquium is geared towards reflecting on the complexity and the stakes of cyber security. It enables a complementary cross-view of issues of mutual interest with regards to the question of cyber security.

  Urban planning and the principle of equality in Africa

  Today, the African city is far from offering equivalent conditions and opportunities to all its inhabitants and many Africans found it difficult to access urban life. Social inequalities are becoming more and more spatial, and both strengthen each other to favour devastating territorial segregation regimes and spaces of violence, pollution, congestion and lawlessness. In terms of justice and equity, many cities and neighbourhoods suffer under an urban disorder, an infernal mechanism of informal housing, poor housing, difficult accessibility, and a very poor quality of the urban environment. In the name of the right to the city, one is entitled to build his dwelling, to invent his habitat anywhere, no matter how whenever the authority is failing. And yet, the inhabitants of these «informal» facilities are not entitled to the city: their city is not theirs.

  Making public policy in Africa

  Ce colloque est issu du programme de recherche FAPPA (Faire des politiques publiques en Afrique. Action publique et opérationnalisation : cadrage de la recherche et appui aux acteurs de la Nouvelle-Aquitaine impliqués dans des programmes d’action publique sur le continent africain). Ce programme de recherche consistait à étudier et à comparer les processus de négociation, de formulation et de mise en œuvre des politiques publiques dans six pays (Maroc, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Tanzanie, Madagascar et Mozambique) et quatre secteurs d’action publique (gestion des ressources naturelles, politiques de la ville, réforme de l’éducation et politiques sociales). Le colloque consistera à diffuser, parmi les chercheurs en sciences sociales et les praticiens de l’action publique présents, les principaux résultats accumulés pendant les quatre années de recherche (2017-2021), d’en effectuer le bilan et de dégager de nouvelles pistes de réflexion.
