Abstract
International audienceThe purpose of this study is to search for factors which explain Cameroonian students' en-trepreneurial intentions. We combined two models: Shapero and Sokol's model (1982) and Ajzen's (1991) model of intention. The validation of this combined model on a sample of 545 Cameroonian students shows that the desire to act and the perceived feasibility are the main factors which determine students' entrepreneurial intentions. Meanwhile university context has a marginal effect; social norm and self concept have no effect on students' entrepreneurial intentions. Globally, the moderator effect of propensity to act is not verified.
Cette étude a pour but de rechercher les facteurs explicatifs de l'intention de créer une entreprise par les étudiants camerounais. La validation de deux modèles d'intention com-binés, le modèle de Shapero et Sokol (1982) et le modèle d'Ajzen (1991), révèle à partir d'une enquête auprès de 545 étudiants camerounais, que le désir d'agir et la faisabilité perçue sont les principaux déterminants de l'intention entrepreneuriale des étudiants. Le contexte universitaire a une influence marginale, tandis que la norme sociale, le concept de soi n'ont aucune influence. Globalement, l'effet modérateur de la propension à l'action n'est pas vérifié.

Social Protection in Low Income Countries and Fragile Situations : Challenges and Future DirectionsOvadiya, Mirey; Zampaglione, Giuseppe; Das, Maitreyi; Andrews, Colin; Elder, John (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-05-28)Demand for social protection is growing in low income countries and fragile situations. In recent years, the success of social protection (SP) interventions in middle income countries (MICs) like Brazil and Mexico, along with the series of food, fuel, and financial crises, has prompted policymakers in low income countries (LICs) and fragile situations (FSs) to examine the possibility of introducing such programs in their own countries. Flagship programs in countries as diverse as Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, and Rwanda have shown the adaptability of social protection interventions to the LIC context. Yet, despite growing levels of support for these initiatives, many challenges remain. In LICs and FSs, governments are confronted with a nexus of mutually reinforcing deficits that increase the need for SP programs and simultaneously reduce their ability to successfully respond. Governments face hard choices about the type, affordability, and sustainability of SP interventions. The paper reviews how these factors affect SP programs in these countries and identifies ways to address the deficits. It supports the establishment of resilient SP systems to address specific needs and vulnerabilities and to respond flexibly to both slow and sudden onset crises. To achieve this, both innovation and pragmatism are required in three strategic areas: (i) building the basic blocks of SP systems (e.g., targeting, payments, and monitoring and evaluation); (ii) ensuring financial sustainability; and (iii) promoting good governance and transparency. These issues suggest the possibility of a different trajectory in the development of social protection in LICs than in MICs. The implications for World Bank support include the need to focus on increasing knowledge and operational effectiveness of SP programs, fostering institutional links between multiple SP programs, and using community capacity and technological innovations to overcome bottlenecks in operations.

Decentralization and Local Democracy
 in the World : First Global Report by United Cities and
 Local Governments 2008World Bank; United Cities and Local Government (Washington, DC: United Cities and Local Government and the World Bank, 2009)This overall picture of decentralization
 and local democracy in African countries shows significant
 progress at the strictly institutional level. No country now
 publicly opposes the implementation of decentralization
 policies. Local governments exist in all countries, and
 elections are held to elect local authorities. The extent of
 such progress must, however, be set against a number of
 persistent obstacles that continue to hinder a real
 progression of decentralization in Africa. Difficulties
 remain within states concerning the transfer of financial
 resources needed to match the devolved responsibilities.
 Local governments also face difficulties in increasing their
 own resources (aside from state-transfers and grants) at a
 faster pace. Ensuring the availability of qualified human
 resources at the local level and improving public access to
 local services are also fundamental issues of concern.
