These 461 towns have a combined population of 14.4 million or 11% of the total urban population of West Africa. Nigeria is the country with the greatest number of satellite towns (367). Satellite towns are, by definition, modest in size with an average of 31 000 inhabitants. The large majority of satellite towns are located in close proximity (less than 40km) to large cities and benefit from shared facilities such as airports, roads and universities; and services such as banking, hospitals and public transport. They also gain from the considerable market potential provided by the populations of their larger neighbours. This high market potential, calculated here in terms of the total population living within the region of a town, can explain why satellite towns have experienced strong growth in both size and number over the past decade. Satellite towns also increasingly attract industrial activity and decongest existing industrial zones that are located closer to big cities. This is the case, for example, of Attinguié, a town north of Abidjan where the government launched the development of Abidjan’s new industrial area ‘PK24’.

Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

SATELLITE TOWNS: BENEFITING FROM PROXIMITY

Twenty-five per cent of West Africa’s nearly 2 000 urban agglomerations

can be described as satellite towns. These 461 towns have a combined population of 14.4 million or 11% of the total urban population of West Africa. Nigeria is the country with the greatest number of satellite towns (367). Satellite towns are, by definition, modest in size with an average of 31 000 inhabitants. The large majority of satellite towns are located in close proximity (less than 40km) to large cities and benefit from shared facilities such as airports, roads and universities; and services such as banking, hospitals and public transport. They also gain from the considerable market potential provided by the populations of their larger neighbours. This high market potential, calculated here in terms of the total population living within the region

of a town, can explain why satellite towns have experienced strong growth in both size and number over the past decade. Satellite towns also increasingly attract industrial activity and decongest existing industrial zones that are located closer to big cities. This is the case, for example, of Attinguié, a town north of Abidjan where the government launched the development of Abidjan’s new industrial area ‘PK24’. With continuing urban growth and the development of manufacturing, industrial and service activities, the number of satellite towns is set to grow in West Africa. Satellite towns are one of seven city groups analysed in the latest working paper from the Sahel and West Africa Club Secretariat.

VILLES SATELLITES : L’AVANTAGE DE LA PROXIMITÉ

Un quart des 2 000 agglomérations urbaines ouest-africaines sont

considérées comme villes satellites. Ces 461 villes représentent 14.4 millions de personnes, soit 11 % de la population urbaine totale en Afrique de l’Ouest. Le Nigéria est le pays qui en compte le plus grand nombre (367). Les villes satellites sont de taille moyenne d‘environ 31 000 habitants. La grande majorité est située à proximité des grandes villes (moins de 40 km). Elles bénéficient des infrastructures de celles-ci telles que les aéroports, les routes et les universités ainsi que des services tels que les banques, les hôpitaux et les transports publics. Elles tirent également avantage du « potentiel de marché » considérable que représente la population des grandes villes voisines. L’importance de ce potentiel de marché, représenté ici en

termes de population totale résidant dans la région d’une ville, explique pourquoi les villes satellites ont connu une forte croissance à la fois en taille et en nombre au cours de la dernière décennie. Elles attirent de plus en plus les industries et décongestionnent les zones industrielles proches des grandes villes. C’est le cas d’Attinguié au nord d’Abidjan où l’État a lancé le développement de la nouvelle zone industrielle d’Abidjan « PK24 ». Avec une croissance urbaine continue et le développement des activités industrielles et de service, le nombre des villes satellites ne peut que s’accroître. Elles font partie des sept catégories urbaines analysées dans les dernières Notes ouest-africaines du Secrétariat du Club du Sahel et de l’Afrique de l’Ouest.
