Sharing knowledge for a green and vibrant Sahel!

See you in May 2021 for the Africa Days’ 5th edition!

SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION IN THE SAHEL

Throughout history, Sahelian communities have been the masters of a delicate landscape. Knowledge transmitted between generations is the key to meeting the challenges facing the Sahel today.

In order to explore this region, its traditions, its natural resources, and its local and innovative solutions for sustainable development, SOS SAHEL USA has launched a virtual series of three “Sustainable transformation in the Sahel” events, celebrating innovation, tradition and the Sustainable Development Goals in the Sahel.

During our launch event on December 17, culture specialists and development actors reflected on how to take advantage of innovation while respecting tradition for sustainable development and greater security and prosperity in the Sahel. View the recording of the event below!
