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.

The gender quota as a government technique in Burkina Faso: a mixture of new instruments and political inertia 29/01/2025
Summary :
The article The gender quota as a government technique in Burkina Faso: between change of instruments and political inertia, written by Abdoul K. Saidou and published in Afrique Contemporaine (n°275, 2023/1), analyzes the application and the limits of the gender quota policy in Burkina Faso. Despite the adoption in 2009 of a law imposing a quota of 30% of female candidates in municipal and legislative elections, its impact has remained limited. The article highlights the political resistance and circumvention strategies put in place by the parties, in particular the effect of these quotas. The 2020 reform, which introduced new incentive instruments (such as a financial bonus for parties respecting quotas), did not allow for significant representation of women. The author thus underlines the political inertia and the systemic obstacles which slow down the effective application of this policy.

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.
