The West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the Sahel and West Africa Club (SWAC) organised a seminar on cross-border development in the Sahel from July 3-4 in Cotonou, Benin.

A webinar based on the SWAC West African Paper, ‘Agriculture, Food and Jobs in West Africa’ took place on Thursday 28th June 2018.

This report in the West African Papers series takes a closer look at the number and prevalence of under-nutrition and over-nutrition in West Africa for urban and rural areas.

West Africa’s food and nutrition security stakeholders gathered from 16-18 April 2018 at the OECD headquarters in Paris. They took stock of the food and nutrition situation and discussed the critical pastoral situation.
