Source text - English This paper examines the linkages between Boko Haram activities in northeastern Nigeria and declined activities in regional agricultural markets. Building on data from both the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), the paper first considers the geographic distribution of Boko Haram events with respect to market towns and discusses whether there is evidence of Boko Haram activities near markets having influence on declined market operations. Next, it examines the temporal character of market operations and the timing of their changes in their operational status, including market closures, with respect to the seasonality of agricultural production and land use in northeastern Nigeria. The paper measures the frequency of changes in regional market activities and considers spatial relationships and temporal correlations with Boko Haram activities in the region over twelve periods from late 2014 through the end of 2016. Finally, the paper formulates policy recommendations for assessing and mitigating coupled challenges of human and environmental security.
Translation - French Cet article examine les possibles corrélations entre les activités de Boko Haram dans le nord-est du Nigéria et la baisse d’activité des marchés agricoles régionaux. S’appuyant sur les données de l’Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED - projet de données sur les zones de conflits armés et leurs actualités) et du Réseau des systèmes d’alerte précoce contre la famine (FEWS NET), les auteurs considèrent en premier lieu la répartition géographique des actions de Boko Haram par rapport aux villes commerçantes et cherchent à savoir si les actions de Boko Haram à proximité des marchés ont entraîné une baisse des opérations commerciales. Ils analysent ensuite le caractère temporel des activités sur les marchés et les périodes où leur statut opérationnel change, notamment les périodes de fermeture de marché liées à la saisonnalité de la production agricole et à l’usage des terres au nord-est du Nigéria. Ils décrivent la fréquence des changements dans les activités des marchés régionaux et examinent les relations spatiales et les corrélations dans le temps avec les actions de Boko Haram dans la région sur douze périodes de temps entre fin 2014 et fin 2016. Enfin, ils proposent des recommendations pour les politiques visant à évaluer les enjeux concernant à la fois lé sécurité humaine et environnementale et à atténuer leurs impacts.

Experience
Years of experience: 22. Registered at ProZ.com: Sep 2008.
I was born and raised in France. As an adult, I lived overseas in various countries including Australia of which I became a citizen in 2006.
I have postgraduate diplomas in Social Sciencesand Economics (major in Anthropology) and History of Africa (High Distinction) from FASS, ICP and University of Paris I, France). I also have a diploma in Photography (Maine Media College, USA).
I developed my language skills to a professional level while doing academic research on Kenya and studying at the University of Sydney (Anthropology department).
Previously, I worked in Publishing and as a social worker until I was contacted to translate articles and publications for an international organisation working on Development Economics in Africa. From then on I started working as a freelance translator.
I have continued working with international organisations as well as businesses translating articles, reports, academic studies and communication materials acquiring strong knowledge of contemporary economic, social and development issues as well as deep understanding of specific terminologies and clients' expectations. My goal is to deliver an accurate flowing translation and my work involves doing research, understanding cultural environments and using high language skills.
As I am also a visual artist, I have been delighted to work as well with the Film industry and the cultural sector and I have been lucky to meet many filmmakers and authors as an interpreter.
