The research work for this publication would have been impossible without the assistance of many helpful people, whom I would like to thank with all my heart. Having spent two and a half years in a foreign country to do the research activities, I would particularly like to thank the people of Togo for their hospitality and for allowing me a very enjoyable stay. Special thanks are due to those partners who are directly connected with this work and publication, mainly:
