Africa Days forum

Let’s connect the resources of Sahelian territories to maximize the Sahel’s potential!

The Africa Days Forum on May 28 explored a territorial approach to mobilize investment and development in the Sahel. The Sahel is a region rich in natural resources and human potential, however, it lacks investment and financial support for local, African-led projects and solutions. This forum gathered panelists from the field, the private sector, and institutions to share their experiences.
