| Title: | IUCN in West Africa- Challenges and Opportunities |
| ASFA Terms: | Droughts |
| Issue Date: | 2001 |
| Abstract: | The West African region covered by IUCN-BRAO comprises 17 countries: Cape Verde,
Senegal, Mauritania, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côted'Ivoire,
Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Chad. It extends over a
surface area of 7,500,000 sq. km with a population of nearly 250 million inhabitants, or an
average density of 33 inhabitants per sq. km. With the exception of Chad and Mauritania
(members of the Permanent Inter-States Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel1),
IUCN-BRAO's target region corresponds to the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West
African States) space. Eight of the fifteen ECOWAS member states --the CFA franc zone--
form an economic and monetary space: the West African Economic and Monetary Union
(UEMOA). |
