Expérience et formation

Abstract

This article is based on an ethnographic field survey carried out in Benin between 2009 and 2013, related to a specific project: the Project of Economic Inclusion of HIV-positive people (PIES). The central idea is that such projects represent an enterprise in terms of government over bodies. This concept implies a double dynamic, both coercive and incentive. More specifically, microcredit projects convey real injunctions of responsibilization. This may be connected to the neoliberal turn of the development aid. But the beneficiaries don’t agree mechanically to the neoliberal values of this project. They resist and make it their own, not always in the expected way, strengthening sometimes in the process their social position.
