WUR @ Sahel Market Place
The Sahel region is changing quickly. As the political, economic and social situation in several countries in the Sahel Region is deteriorating, affecting the livelihoods of many vulnerable people, local stakeholders and foreign organizations are reconsidering their policies and interventions. More than ever, deeper understandings of the processes that can help mitigate the conflicts and insecurity in the Region are needed.
Wageningen University & Research aspires to contribute to this by ‘getting its act together’, enhancing value creation of knowledge for policy makers and strengthening its capacity to respond to acute needs that emerge from the Sahel Region. Potential donors are highly appreciating this OneWageningen pro-active approach.
In this respect we are organizing a Sahel Market on November 19 at Atlas 2. We kindly invite you to participate and share your experience and insights in the Sahel region with your colleagues. Simultaneously, group discussion will be organised to identify emerging research themes where WUR can contribute.
