Sommario/riassunto

This paper focuses on the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (SCADD) for Burkina Faso. It provides an overview of a decade of development, takes stock of the recent performance of Burkina Faso in various areas, and identifies the main challenges. The paper spells out a direction for the SCADD for 2011–15, by ensuring that its vision is based on sector priorities to achieve set objectives. The risks that could impede the success of the development scheme desired by the government are also discussed.

Sommario/riassunto

This proceedings volume contains results presented at the Sixth International Workshop on Data Analysis in Astronomy - "Modeling and Simulation in Science" held on April 15-22, 2007, at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Center for Scientific Culture, Erice, Italy. Recent progress and new trends in the field of simulation and modeling in three branches of science - astrophysics, biology, and climatology - are described in papers presented by outstanding scientists. The impact of new technologies on the design of novel data analysis systems and the interrelation among different fields are fore
