MDG 7 in Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast has lost nearly a third of its forests over the last half century. During the 1980s this was particularly bad: its exports of hardwood were greater than Brazil which is a much larger country, and it was thought to have the highest rate of deforestation in the world. Although this rate has slowed down, it is still one of the highest in Africa.

Not only are forests lost to logging for export of wood, but also to make way for farming. The diverse tropical rainforests in the country’s south have mostly been replaced by coffee, cocoa and palm plantations. These are an important part of the economy, as Ivory Coast is one of the biggest cocoa producers in the world, but they are not natural habitats and they do not support very diverse animal and plant life. These large areas of agricultural land produce huge amounts of waste, or effluent, which has caused water pollution.

Environmental Indicators

Nearly 22 per cent of land and marine areas are now protected as nature reserves
2 per cent of water sources are used to provide water for people, industry and agriculture
79 per cent of people use solid fuels to heat their homes
80 per cent of people have access to good quality drinking water
Only 23 per cent have access to basic sanitationOne in two people live in slums

Focus Country Activity

Play Woaley

Woaley is a simple game from theIvory Coastfor two players. Make a game board like this one – you could make it from wood, scoop holes in sand, or mark out circles on paper. You need 48 playing pieces such as seeds, shells, marbles or dried beans. Put four pieces into each of the small holes.

Ivory Coast game

The object of the game is to capture more pieces than the other player.
Each player ‘owns’ the row of small holes closest to her, plus the store hole (the big one) on her right.
To move, pick up all the pieces except one from one of your small holes and move counter-clockwise round the board, dropping one piece into each hole without skipping, until your hand is empty.
If the last piece you drop brings the total pieces in that hole to either two or four, you capture the contents of that hole and put them in your store hole.
If you don’t have any pieces in your holes you have to miss your turn.
The game ends when nobody can play any more, and any leftover pieces in your holes are added to your store holeThe winner is the player who captures more than half of the pieces.
