West Africa: EU Sahel Strategy - a Patchwork Policy?

press release

In reaction to the release of the EU-Sahel Strategy, Evelien van Roemburg, head of Oxfam EU office, said:

"While the EU-Sahel Strategy has some good points, it's a patchwork of issues with governance, human rights and civic space all wrapped up around security. While the balancing act between security and development is a tricky one, we need an approach with peace and protection at its core. It should address the real drivers of conflict such as non-accountable and unfair governance and persisting inequalities.
