“…The data for the study was collected through focus groups and semi-structured interviews carried out with stakeholders between September 2018 and February 2019. These interviews enabled to complement and subdivide the categories of actors previously identi ed (Azalou et al, 2019) in order to acquire more detailed information. Most of these actors are people living in the municipality and were aware of the problem in the study or who practice one of the following speci c activities: agriculture, livestock farming, hunting, shing and participation in an agricultural resource and con ict management committee.…”

“…This municipality was chosen hence it represents a reception area for national and cross-border cattle farmers because of the agricultural potential (Azalou et al, 2017). These transhumant herds enter the municipality via various administrative units (Azalou et al, 2019). The municipality of Djidja is limited to the South by the municipalities of Abomey and Bohicon, to the Southwest by the department of Couffo, to the East by the commune of Za-Kpota and Covè and to the North by the municipalities of Dassa and Savalou.…”

“…Similarly, the extension of cultivated areas by agricultural communities and the gradual reduction of grazing areas, the ownership of water reservoirs by farmers, etc. have strongly contributed to the multiplication and ampli cation of con icts in the commune of Djidja in southern Benin (Azalou et al, 2019;Diogo et al, 2020). These are con icts related to the use of space by transhumant herders, farmers, shermen, etc.…”

“…Practical aspects of time and space management by transhumant herders are thus based on the pastoral calendar (Azalou et al, 2019). Under these conditions, an overly formal mode of ownership by one community to the detriment of another would be counterproductive.…”

The management of pastoral mobility is a stakeholder-centered approach for the integration of resource conservation and agricultural development. This management of space and its resources is the responsibility of a group of actors who are responsible for resolving con icts of interest. This study aimed at analyzing the in uence of transhumance stakeholders in the municipality of Djidja in southern Benin thanks to semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with 300 transhumance actors. The Likert scale (1 to 5) was used to assess the levels of in uence and focus groups were conducted. The results obtained showed that several stakeholders were involved in transhumance with diverse interests, backgrounds, knowledge and power (p < 0.05). The majority of farmers (72%) blame transhumant herders whose practices are source of multiple con icts. The analysis indicated a strong in uence with highly signi cant differences (p < 0.001) in the management of transhumance by four stakeholders including the communal transhumance committee, the association of herders, the Garso (Scout and intermediary for transhumant herders) and the transhumant herder. This research demonstrates how the systematic analysis of the activities carried out by the actors, the interconnected activities between them and their relationships can offer insights for a better coordination of transhumance. For management to become reality, it is important building partnership between the various stakeholders linked by transhumance in southern Benin.

Aim : To study the seasonal characteristics of hyperglycemic decompensations in the endocrinology department of the CNHU-HKM of Cotonou. Materials and methods :It was a cross-sectional, descriptive, and study of diabetic patients hospitalized from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. Diabetic patients hospitalized for ketosis decompensation and/or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome were included in this study. The meteorological data used were obtained from the climate observation network of the Direction de la Météorologie Nationale (DMN) du Bénin. We have considered the means of rainfall and temperature per month and per year. Results : A total of 613 patients were included during the study period. The mean age of the patients was 46.77±15.84 years. The frequency of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome and ketoacidosis was 14.7% and 69.5% respectively. Hyperglycemic crises were more frequent during the rainy season and periods of low temperature. The main precipitating factors were infections and non-adherence to treatment. The main infectious sites involved in hyperglycemic crises were pulmonary (19%), urogenital (21.3%) and malaria (26.8%). The frequency of these different infections was higher during the rainy season with a statistically significant difference (p=0.02) for malaria. Conclusion : The frequency of hyperglycemic crises was high and had a seasonal distribution. The most frequent precipitating factors were infections and non-adherence to treatment. Those factors were more frequent in the rainy season.

The management of pastoral mobility is a stakeholder-centered approach for the integration of resource conservation and agricultural development. This management of space and its resources is the responsibility of a group of actors who are responsible for resolving conflicts of interest. This study aimed at analyzing the influence of transhumance stakeholders in the municipality of Djidja in southern Benin thanks to semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with 300 transhumance actors. The Likert scale (1 to 5) was used to assess the levels of influence and focus groups were conducted. The results obtained showed that several stakeholders were involved in transhumance with diverse interests, backgrounds, knowledge and power (p < 0.05). The majority of farmers (72%) blame transhumant herders whose practices are source of multiple conflicts. The analysis indicated a strong influence with highly significant differences (p < 0.001) in the management of transhumance by four stakeholders including the communal transhumance committee, the association of herders, the Garso (Scout and intermediary for transhumant herders) and the transhumant herder.
