The food and nutrition situation continues to deteriorate in the #Sahel and #WestAfrica. Around 35.3 million people are food and nutrition insecure. Without effective responses, these figures could increase to 49.5 million people. 🌍🌾 #RPCA
Northern #Nigeria, the #LiptakoGourma & the Lake #Chad region remain the most affected areas, resulting in thousands of internally #displacedpeople and now generations of #children #outofschool. #RPCA
Le @RPCA_network se réunit au @SWAC_OECD autour du défi de l’insécurité alimentaire qui frappe le #Sahel à un niveau inédit. Cet enjeu est au cœur des priorités des partenaires, notamment par l’action de l’@AllianceSahel.
Deputy Secretary-General @FLapecorella, @OECD opens the #RPCA meeting: "The negative trends of the food security situation in the region requires a shift from business-as-usual solutions. We need to prioritise substantial investments in food-related research and technologies."

We used dynamic social network analysis to model how the cooperative and rivalrous relationships between violent actors have changed in NW Africa from 1997-2023. Results suggest that conflict networks are becoming denser and more polarized shorturl.at/KQRV9
Violence tends to spread south, from the Sahel to the Gulf of Guinea. In this new @SWAC_OECD paper, we show that more than 10% of newly affected conflict zones are now located in the north of coastal countries, shorturl.at/bekmV
