PRODIG: Development and Environment (English Presentation)

PRODIG is a research unit focusing on the relationships between development and environment. Its objective is to assess the effects of globalization and of an economic growth on the new territorial, social and environmental systems. The team aims to understand how changes and cracks in the environment question social solidarities at global, regional, national and local scales and help assess state capacities to manage ecological imbalances and dwindling resources in the North as well as in the South. Professor of Geography of Development Géraud Magrin has led research on issue of natural resources, energy and development in West Africa.

Rémi de Bercegol, a geographer, is a CNRS Researcher. After having studied urban services in small Indian towns and in Dehli, he extended his interest to Eastern Africa (Tanzania in particular).

Raphalële Guibert, a politist at PRODID (IRD), has studied dynamics of entrepreneurship in South Sudan. She intends to expand her interest to energy entrepreneurs in Chad.

The team will also include Armelle Choplin, Lecturer in urban geography at Marne-la-Vallée University, currently seconded to IRD’offices in Cotonou. Their work and that of students involved will be held in West Africa. The team’s work will be facilitated by partnerships with local institutions (universities, development actors), particularly with IFRA in Ibadan.
