West Africa Observer

This quarterly review analyses major political, economic and social trends in West Africa from a regional point of view. It summarizes and puts into perspective important events and developments.Topics are chosen according to the concerns of those with whom the SWAC team works: leaders of West African regional or government organisations, development partners, NGOs and associations, local actors and researchers, civil society, etc. Our work draws on many existing information sources. We believe: “The more information is available, the more it needs to be synthesised”. The West Africa Observer is intended to become a tool that provides easy and quick access to key information on the region.
