Sub-Saharan Africa is simultaneously the world's most corrupt region and the global epicenter of life expectancy inequality. This paper examines the heterogeneous effects of overall, petty, and grand corruption on life expectancy inequality across 41 Sub-Saharan countries over 2010โ€“2021, using two-stage least squares and quantiles via moments regression. Corruption significantly widens life expectancy inequality, with the effect growing stronger at higher quantiles, indicating that corruption amplifies pre-existing disparities rather than creating new ones. Both petty and grand corruption independently deepen health disparities: grand corruption dominates at higher quantiles through macro-institutional channels such as budget distortions and elite capture while petty corruption prevails at lower quantiles through regressive barriers to basic healthcare access. Policy responses should therefore be differentiated: frontline informal payments reduction in low-inequalities settings, and institutional oversight reform in highly unequal contexts, embedded with a broader universal health system strengthening framework.

Despite the rise in education levels in Burkina Faso in recent years, they still fall short of the global average. In addition, education inequality also persists in the country. Using Afrobarometer survey data, this chapter discusses Corruption and SDG 4 using Burkina Faso as a case study. The results show that corruption in the education sector restricts access to education. This restriction on access to education increases with the magnitude of corruption in the education sector. In addition, corruption in the health sector and in the police also has spillover effects on access to education in the country. Furthermore, corruption increases inequality of access to education by affecting more people living in rural areas than those living in urban areas and more female than male. Therefore, controlling corruption both in the education sector and the health sector and the police can foster access to education in Burkina Faso.

Purpose
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the epicenter of inequalities in human development. This paper investigates the effect of women political empowerment (WPE), a potential but underexplored determinant, on inequalities in human development in this region.

Design/methodology/approach
The data used for the analyses come from 37 SSA countries over the period 2012โ€“2022. Generalized least squares, two-stage least squares and quantiles via moments regressions are used for the empirical appraisal.

Findings
The finding reveals that woman political empowerment narrows inequality in human development (IHD). This narrowing effect is greater in lower inequality countries and lower in countries with a higher inequality. Likewise, all three dimensions of WPE reduce IHD. However, civil society is the dimension with the greatest potential for reducing inequalities in human development, followed by civil liberties and political participation.

Practical implications
The results of the research imply that sub-Saharan countries must pursue efforts to improve WPE in order to reduce inequalities in human development.

Originality/value
Despite the persistence of inequalities in human development in SSA, less attention has been paid to its determinants. More attention has been paid to the determinants of income inequality, ignoring a no less important part of inequalities: those linked to health and education. This approach does not provide a global view of inequalities. This paper adds news insights by investigating the heterogeneous effect of WPE on inequalities in human development.

This paper investigates the potential economic implications of the withdrawal of Sahelian countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger), called the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), from the Economic Commission for West African States (ECOWAS). Specifically, the paper investigates the potential impact of the AES withdrawal on trade flows (exports and imports), economic growth, migrants' remittances, and tax revenue in the Sahel States and the ECOWAS. An impulse response function (IRF) analysis, inspired by Bernanke et al., is applied using a Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregressive (FAVAR) model, with annual data from 1980 to 2022. We find that a shock to ECOWAS intra-community total import would lead to a marginal decline in the tax revenue of Burkina Faso and Mali. Counterintuitively, a shock to ECOWAS intra-community exports would increase Mali's exports to the rest of ECOWAS. Moreover, trade diversion effects arising from the exit of the AES countries could increase exports for ECOWAS's three lead economies (Cรดte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria). In this regard, AES countries should leverage the existing favorable trade dynamism with their respective neighboring countries (Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria) through the development of bilateral cooperation initiatives and strengthen trade cooperation among them.

A fundamental problem faced by developing countries is corruption, which creates barriers to development. Corruption has made healthcare particularly costly or unaffordable for much of the population. We investigate the effects of corruption on access to healthcare in 34 African countries. Using Afrobarometer data collected between 2019 and 2022 and an ordered probit model, the results show that respondents living in subnational regions within countries where health sector corruption is more prevalent are more likely to report having gone without medical care for themselves or their family when needed, or lacking access altogether. The results also show that the severity of healthcare deprivation increases with the frequency of exposure to health sector corruption. In addition, medical corruption not only restricts access to healthcare but also reduces the quality of services for those who can access the system. The results further show that the effects of medical corruption are approximately three times larger than those of non-medical corruption, including corruption in education, the police, and the acquisition of identity documents. These findings suggest that achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 and the African Unionโ€™s Agenda 2063 in the health sector requires prioritizing the fight against medical corruption.

Despite extensive research on the factors influencing inflation dynamics, few studies have focused on the specific channels through which central bank independence impacts inflation volatility, especially in low-income monetary unions. This gap is particularly noticeable in the WAEMU region, where member countries share a common monetary authority but experience diverse macroeconomic and political shocks.
Understanding how different aspects of independence function within this unique institutional setting is, therefore, vital for shaping effective policies. Based on this context, this article empirically investigates the effect of central bank independence on inflation volatility. Using an Instrumental Variables Two-Stage Least Squares (IV-2SLS), and Smoothed Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression (IVQR) approach from 2006 to 2023, the findings show that greater central bank independence is correlated with lower inflation volatility. Among various independence dimensions, governor and
board autonomy, financial independence, monetary policy, conflict-resolution mechanisms, and restrictions on central bank lending to the government stand out as the most significant in reducing inflation volatility. In addition, we have highlighted that CBI plays a vital stabilising role in high-volatility regimes. Countries experiencing more turbulent inflation benefit more from having an independent monetary authority.
These results suggest that strengthening these specific dimensions is essential for improving price stability in WAEMU economies.

This paper empirically investigates the effect of cotton production and transmission channels of the international cotton price shocks on government revenues in Burkina Faso, a cotton-exporting country. Using the Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model on data from 1985 to 2022, we find that positive shock in the world cotton price is associated with increased government revenues and economic growth. By investigating transmission channels, we have highlighted the exchange rate, prices paid to producers and export revenues as the most relevant channels for transmitting world cotton price shocks to government revenues. Our findings suggest that to increase its revenues, the Burkinabรจ government should support cotton production through price-based production incentive policies and encourage the private sector to
invest in industrial processing and exports. In addition, it could establish a stabilisation fund and a specific tax system for the cotton industry based on export revenues in collaboration with the cotton companies.

This study examines the impact of climate change, defined as long-term changes in temperature and precipitation patterns due to natural and human factors, on women's employment in Burkina Faso, highlighting labour market participation and gender disparities. Using a static computable general equilibrium model calibrated with a gender-specific social accounting matrix, it evaluates two climate scenarios: a 2.4ยฐC temperature increase and a 7.5 per cent decrease in precipitation by 2050. The results indicate that these climate shocks significantly reduce women's employment opportunities. The supply of paid labour for women may decrease by 3.9 per cent, with skilled women experiencing greater job losses than their unskilled counterparts. In rural areas, the domestic workload could increase by up to 0.28 per cent, further limiting women's labour market participation. These changes reinforce gender inequalities and contribute to a decline in real GDP. To counter these effects, investments in climate-resilient agriculture, water and energy infrastructure, and women's entrepreneurship are essential. Gender-responsive policies are needed to promote inclusive economic growth and reduce employment disparities.
