Multi-sectoral Surveillance Bulletin on the Regions of Timbuktu and Taoudénni 19/03/2025
Summary :
The Multisectoral Surveillance Bulletin for the Timbuktu and Taoudénni regions (Mali) for October-November 2024 highlights several major concerns: floods that have destroyed irrigated agricultural areas, rising rice prices, and an unstable security situation with 78 incidents reported (+21.87% compared to the previous two-month period). The agricultural situation is marked by a delay in off-season crops due to flooding. Livestock farming is improving thanks to sufficient pastureland in Timbuktu, although less favorable in Taoudénni. Access to water for livestock is generally satisfactory. Fisheries production is declining due to rising water levels. Acute malnutrition remains a concern, particularly affecting children and requiring an urgent response. Displaced populations continue to increase due to conflict, reaching 42,785 in Timbuktu and 2,899 in Taoudénni.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin – Senegal No. 39, February–March 2025 29/04/2025
Summary :
The February–March 2025 pastoral surveillance bulletin highlights growing pastoral challenges in Senegal. Vegetation cover remains low in the north and south, with significant shortages in Saint-Louis, Louga, and Matam. While water resources are generally adequate, pasture conditions are poor in several areas. Livestock body conditions are mostly fair to good, but deteriorate in critical zones. Animal disease outbreaks, livestock mortality, and extensive bushfires—especially in Tambacounda—are reported. Markets remain accessible, yet livestock and cereal prices, particularly rice, are on the rise, increasing pastoralist vulnerability. Cases of theft and farmer-herder conflicts are also noted. The report urges strengthening resource governance, veterinary surveillance, fire prevention, and awareness on sustainable transhumance.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin on Niger – No. 62 / February - March 2025 05/05/2025
Summary :
The joint pastoral surveillance bulletin by Action Contre la Faim (ACF) and Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium (VSF-B) for February–March 2025 reports an overall satisfactory pastoral situation in Niger. Pastures remain widely available, surface water is sufficient, and markets are accessible. However, livestock body condition has slightly declined and suspected cases of animal diseases persist, though less than in previous periods. Prices of livestock and cereals have decreased, leading to a mild deterioration in terms of trade for herders. Incidents of bushfires, livestock thefts, and inter-community conflicts have also declined. The report recommends increased vaccination, awareness campaigns on transhumance, and better youth engagement to sustainably manage pastoral resources. Efforts should focus on improving disease surveillance, supporting pastoral markets, and sharing strategic information across communities.

What Role for Senegal in the Crisis Between the AES and ECOWAS? 16/05/2025
Summary :
This Policy Brief explores Senegal’s role in mediating the crisis between ECOWAS and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), formed by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger after their withdrawal from ECOWAS. Drawing on its diplomatic tradition and neutrality, Senegal, under President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has been appointed as a facilitator. While Senegal officially promotes the AES’s return to ECOWAS, its emissary's statements suggest a more nuanced stance. The brief analyzes issues of regional integration, governance, security cooperation, and sovereignty. It highlights the need for realistic mediation, one that acknowledges the AES states’ security concerns while preserving ECOWAS’s democratic and economic frameworks. The document also emphasizes the regional consequences of the split, including economic fragmentation and weakened security cooperation, urging Senegal to play a strategic and balanced role.
