Policy brief / Governance,
Navigating the Polycrisis 09/05/2025
Summary :
This April 2025 policy brief by the Gorée Institute, in collaboration with ETTG, explores the deep interconnections between development and security in the Sahel. Based on a workshop held in Gorée, African and European experts emphasized how geopolitical fragmentation, poverty, climate change, and social exclusion fuel instability. The brief criticizes the EU’s approach as being overly driven by its own priorities (energy, migration) and calls for a paradigm shift towards more balanced partnerships. It highlights the need to integrate gender, youth, and local cohesion dimensions, including traditional and religious authorities. The EU is urged to invest in public services, inclusive governance, and sustainable local dialogues rather than relying on militarized approaches. The brief advocates for gradual re-engagement, including with the AES, to address Sahelian challenges in a structural and coordinated manner.

Dialogue between miners and agropastoralists to reduce conflicts 10/01/2023

Summary :
In the article “Dialogue between Miners and Agropastoralists to Reduce Conflicts” published in January 2023 by Inter‑réseaux Développement Rural, Chec Ibrahima Ouattara, Bénazir Ilboudo, and Marie Hur describe the pilot Gold for Climate project in Burkina Faso . Amid rising tensions caused by mining activities—land appropriation, water use, and corridor closures—the project creates consultation platforms involving mining companies, agropastoralists, and local authorities . These dialogues aim to boost agropastoral resilience, preserve traditional grazing practices, and foster social cohesion in a climate-affected setting. Tools include compensation mechanisms and regular participatory meetings. While the initiative shows promise, the authors highlight challenges such as ensuring durable dialogue structures and embedding these approaches within municipal governance in mining areas.
