The Sahara-Sahelian areas

The 2013-14 West African Futures (WAF) programme focuses on the Sahara-Sahelian areas. The SWAC analysis highlights that mobility and fluidity have characterised the social and economic environment of the Sahara-Sahel over centuries. It also shows how actors, networks and challenges need to be considered from several geographic scales: from local, to cross-border and regional. Three activities are part of the reflection process:

• Atlas
• 2013 SWAC Forum
• Pastoral Livestock
