In October 2020, the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and UNDP launched an initiative titled, ‘Building an Inclusive Post COVID-19 Recovery, Crises Transitions and Governance Reforms in the Sahel’.

The initiative is expected to complement ongoing efforts towards inclusive democratic governance and peaceful transitions in Mali, Cote d’Ivoire, Niger and Burkina Faso. It will also support the creation of women’s platforms to contribute to inclusive political transitions and dialogue processes in the four countries; the participation of women in the Mali political dialogue, transition and reforms; gender inclusive governance; women-led community responses to COVID-19; leadership capacity development; and inter-generational dialogues.
