Si le taux de bancarisation progresse sur le continent africain, près de 60% de la population n'a pas de compte bancaire. Une situation qui freine notamment l'entreprenariat. Sans accès au financement, difficile de lancer son activité ou de la développer. Face à ce constat, le microcrédit s'est imposé comme une réponse concrète aux défis de l'inclusion financière. L'accès à des petits prêts permet aux bénéficiaires d'obtenir des ressources, mais aussi de gagner en indépendance, en confiance et en pouvoir de décision vis-à-vis de leur famille et de la communauté. S'il existe des solutions de microcrédit social, sans contrepartie, les taux élevés, pratiqués parfois par les organismes de microfinance, sont aussi pointés du doigt. Quelles sont les limites de la microfinance ? Permet-elle de passer à l'échelle pour les entrepreneurs et entrepreneuses et de s'insérer dans le système bancaire traditionnel ? Quelles sont les innovations qui pourraient permettre d'élargir son spectre ?   Avec :  • Marie Ateba-Forget, responsable du pôle microfinance sociale d'Entrepreneurs du Monde, association qui accompagne l'insertion sociale et économique de personnes en situation de grande précarité en Afrique, en Asie, en Haïti et en France. Un reportage de Raphaëlle Constant à Conakry en Guinée :  Depuis 2016, l'institution de microfinance sociale Wakili incubée par l'ONG Entrepreneurs du monde, a développé un programme de terrain pour accompagner les personnes vulnérables dans le développement de leurs activités économiques. C'est aujourd'hui la seule institution à proposer de la microfinance sociale dans le pays aux personnes exclues du système bancaire classique. Depuis sa création, Wakili a accompagné plus de 19 000 micro-entrepreneurs dans toute la Guinée, dont 78% de femmes. Notre reporter a rencontré Alex Kadjomou, chargé de développement de Wakili Guinée et Mabinty Thiam, 38 ans et 5 enfants, bénéficiaire du programme dans le quartier de Cobayah. En fin d'émission, la chronique IA débat, de Thibault Matha, un nouveau rendez-vous bimensuel chez 8 milliards de voisins.  Alors que l'intelligence artificielle devient omniprésente dans notre quotidien et que son utilisation se démocratise, Thibault Matha interrogera les outils, et analysera la pertinence de leurs réponses.

Vu du ciel, le lac Tchad se profile en de petites flaques, de plus en plus larges jusqu'à l'émergence d'une limite entre l'eau et la terre. Des contours flous pour une vaste étendue marécageuse entre sables et ilots de verdure aux confins du Niger, du Nigéria, du Cameroun et du Tchad. Le lac n'est pas en train de s'assécher, comme on l'a longtemps cru. Il s'étend. Notamment sous l'effet du changement climatique, aggravant la crise alimentaire et sécuritaire sur ses rivages martyrisés depuis plus d'une décennie par Boko Haram. La secte islamiste et ses deux factions rivales a été affaiblie par les opérations militaires, mais elle marque encore la région par ses attentats suicides, rapts, viols et raids contre des civils.  « Sur les rives du lac Tchad, une guerre sans fin contre Boko Haram et la montée des eaux », c'est un grand reportage de Carol Valade, réalisé par Pauline Leduc.  Avec la participation de Joris Bolomey et le soutien logistique du CICR, d'Acted, Concern et Handicap International.
