Quatrième de couverture

Sustainable development and generational economy

Managed collection in collaboration with the CREG

In Africa, the Sahel region polarizes a lot of attention from the international community because of its rich potential, which is in stark contrast to its fragile and worsening security situation - all against the backdrop of a powerful demographic dynamic marked by a considerable proportion of young people.

This publication aims to deepen reflection on the causes of conflict and fragility in the Sahel and potential relationships with Africa's demography. UNFPA, national statistical institutes and renowned research institutions worked together to combine theoretical and empirical approaches to highlight the potential role of population dynamics in the occurrence of security crises in the Sahel.

The report aims to provide policy makers and development partners with data and evidence that can contribute to the design of better policies which enable far more effective and sustainable responses to current and future challenges in the Sahel.
