governance and regional cooperation.</p><p>In Benin, the Economic Community of West African States announced the appointment of former Ghanaian president Nana Akufo-Addo to lead its electoral observation mission for the presidential election scheduled for April 12, with deployment planned from April 7 to 15 in line with its protocol on democracy and good governance. Two candidacies have been confirmed: Romuald Wadagni, representing the ruling majority and current Minister of Economy and Finance, and Paul Hounkp&#232;, candidate of the Forces Cauris for an Emerging Benin (FCBE).[<a href="https://fr.africanews.com/2026/03/30/benin-nana-akufo-addo-a-la-tete-de-la-mission-dobservation-de-la-cedeao/">1</a>]</p><p>In Burkina Faso, military leader Ibrahim Traor&#233; expressed, during a state television interview, a rejection of liberal democratic norms, stating that the country would follow its own approach. Having come to power through a coup three years ago, he had initially pledged a return to civilian rule by July 2024, but authorities have since extended the transition by five years. Concerns related to rights and security were also noted, including actions targeting opposition figures, media and civil society actors.[<a href="https://www.bbc.com/afrique/articles/c4gvdrl5xyko">2</a>]</p><p>In Nigeria, security services received more than 800 individuals deported from Niger at the Jibia-Magama border in Katsina State. According to an operational report, the individuals, comprising men, women and children, arrived on eight buses and underwent identification procedures involving multiple security agencies before a planned transfer to Kano State.[<a href="https://tribuneonlineng.com/security-forces-receive-800-nigerian-deportees-from-niger-republic/">3</a>]</p><p>In the Central African Republic, President Faustin-Archange Touad&#233;ra was sworn in for a third consecutive term on March 30 in Bangui. Re-elected in December with 77.90% of the vote according to official results, in a poll contested by the opposition, he outlined peace, security and national unity as his priorities. The ceremony gathered around 20,000 attendees and several African leaders. The constitutional framework adopted in 2023 allowed his candidacy, in a security context described as fragile despite some improvements.[<a href="https://www.africaradio.com/actualite-113825-faustin-archange-touadera-investi-pour-un-troisieme-mandat-en-centrafrique">4</a>]</p><p>At the regional level, the Economic Community of West African States and the International Monetary Fund signed an agreement on March 27 in Abuja aimed at strengthening macroeconomic governance and coordinating economic policies in West Africa. The agreement includes enhanced policy dialogue, increased technical assistance and regional macroeconomic monitoring, and comes amid moderate but uneven economic growth, with persistent challenges related to inflation, public debt, global economic uncertainty and regional integration.[<a

transatlantic slave trade of Africans as the &#8220;most serious crime against humanity.&#8221; Led by Ghana and supported by 123 countries, the text was approved despite opposition from some states, including the United States, and abstentions from several European countries. The initiative aims to acknowledge the historical injustices linked to the transatlantic slave trade and to encourage reparative measures, particularly in education and economic development. However, the resolution is non-binding, and the concrete implementation of reparations remains uncertain.

Several agreements were also signed across various economic sectors, including energy, industry, and health.

The government also mentioned the possibility of retaliatory measures while calling for international mobilization in response to the situation.

Il refl&#232;te notre conviction d&#8217;une r&#233;alit&#233; observ&#233;e sur le terrain : dans les contextes fragiles ou en transition, la stabilit&#233; ne d&#233;pend pas uniquement des dispositifs s&#233;curitaires, mais aussi de la l&#233;gitimit&#233; des institutions et de la confiance que leur accordent l&#8217;ensemble des citoyens. Inclure les femmes dans les processus de prise de d&#233;cision enrichit les institutions gr&#226;ce &#224; la diversit&#233; des perspectives prises en compte et contribue &#224; renforcer la coh&#233;sion sociale et &#224; consolider la confiance l&#224; o&#249; elle est la plus fragile. Le r&#244;le des femmes dans les r&#233;seaux &#233;conomiques locaux et les dynamiques communautaires en fait un levier strat&#233;gique pour b&#226;tir des institutions r&#233;silientes et pertinentes.</p><p>Notre exp&#233;rience sur le terrain illustre parfaitement cet impact concret. Dans le cadre d&#8217;un projet financ&#233; par le M&#233;canisme de stabilit&#233; des &#233;tats c&#244;tiers (MSEC) de l&#8217;Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM), portant sur la coh&#233;sion intercommunautaire des femmes dans le village de Gu&#233;n&#233; au B&#233;nin (d&#233;partement de l&#8217;Alibori), nous avons observ&#233; comment des groupements de femmes issus de plusieurs villages et de diff&#233;rents horizons ethniques ont pu cr&#233;er les changements positifs qu&#8217;elles souhaitaient voir dans leurs propres communaut&#233;s. Ces actions ont renforc&#233; l&#8217;action collective, favoris&#233; la coop&#233;ration entre femmes de diff&#233;rents horizons et permis l&#8217;accumulation de ressources financi&#232;res collectives, d&#233;montrant l&#8217;efficacit&#233; et la durabilit&#233; de leurs initiatives.</p><p>En rejoignant les WEPs, Stake experts s&#8217;engage &#224; continuer de contribuer &#224; la cr&#233;ation de ces changements positifs, &#224; la fois en tant qu&#8217;entreprise et &#224; travers le travail et les recherches que nous menons au sein des communaut&#233;s locales en Afrique de l&#8217;Ouest. Nous visons &#224; continuer d&#8217;int&#233;grer syst&#233;matiquement une perspective inclusive dans nos analyses, nos recommandations et nos interventions. Nous consid&#233;rons que l&#8217;inclusion des femmes n&#8217;est pas seulement un imp&#233;ratif moral. Elle constitue plut&#244;t un facteur structurant de stabilit&#233; et de r&#233;silience dans les contextes fragiles.</p><p>D&#233;couvrez notre engagement et consultez notre profil officiel ici :

It reflects our conviction of a reality observed on the ground: in fragile or transitional contexts, stability does not depend solely on security measures, but also on the legitimacy of and trust in institutions among all citizens. Including women in decision-making processes enriches institutions with a diversity of perspectives and contributes to strengthening social cohesion and consolidating trust where it is most fragile. Women&#8217;s role in local economic networks and community dynamics makes them a strategic lever for building resilient and relevant institutions.</p><p>Our experience in the field perfectly illustrates this tangible impact. As part of an International Organization for Migration&#8217;s (IOM) Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM)-funded project on women interncommunity cohesion in Benin&#8217;s Gu&#233;n&#233; village (Alibori department), we witnessed how women&#8217;s groups across several villages and ethnic backgrounds were able to create the positive changes they longed for in their own communities. These actions strengthened collective action, fostered cooperation between women of different backgrounds, and enabled the accumulation of collective financial resources, demonstrating the effectiveness and sustainability of their initiatives.</p><p>By joining the WEPs, Stake experts commits to continue to contribute to creating these positive changes, both as a company and in the work and research that we do in West Africa&#8217;s local communities. We aim to continue to systematically integrate a gender perspective into our analyses, recommendations, and interventions. We consider that the inclusion of women is not only a moral imperative. It is, rather, a structuring factor for stability and resilience in fragile contexts.</p><p>Discover our commitment and view our official profile here: [<a href="https://www.weps.org/company/stake-experts">https://www.weps.org/company/stake-experts</a>] </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affissou Alao ABDOUL-KARIM: Champion of Social Cohesion through Sport and Education]]></title><description><![CDATA[In October 2025, Stake experts launched the second cohort of its Professional Exchange Program for Conflict Mitigation by CSOs, an initiative designed to support leaders of West African organizations navigating a period of profound upheaval.]]></description><link>https://blog.stakeexperts.com/p/affissou-alao-abdoul-karim-champion</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.stakeexperts.com/p/affissou-alao-abdoul-karim-champion</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stake experts]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Mar 2026 12:31:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JtvV!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff52092b3-7b0a-4051-abd7-1791b8371c88_832x1014.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>In October 2025, Stake experts launched the second cohort of its Professional Exchange Program for Conflict Mitigation by CSOs, an initiative designed to support leaders of West African organizations navigating a period of profound upheaval.

Kaweru.com</figcaption></figure></div><p>Over the past two weeks, several significant security developments have emerged across the West African region, particularly concerning Algeria, Chad, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Niger. The situation remains fluid and poses critical implications for regional stability and cooperation.</p><p>Presidents Abdelmadjid Tebboune and Abdourahamane Tiani decided on Monday in Algiers to immediately reactivate joint border surveillance and counterterrorism mechanisms, citing persistent terrorist threats and cross-border organized crime in the Sahel. Following the Nigerien leader&#8217;s official visit, the two Heads of State also agreed to maintain diplomatic relations at the highest level, convene the next session of the joint High Commission in Niamey before the end of the first half of 2026, and accelerate bilateral cooperation in the security, economic and energy sectors, including the advancement of sectoral agreements and major projects such as the Trans-Saharan Highway, a cross-border fiber-optic link and the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline [<a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/fr/afrique/l-alg%C3%A9rie-et-le-niger-d%C3%A9cident-de-r%C3%A9activer-imm%C3%A9diatement-les-m%C3%A9canismes-conjoints-de-lutte-contre-le-terrorisme/3832128">1</a>]. <br><br>Chad has taken decisive action in response to armed incursions along its border with Sudan. The government has opted to close the border to mitigate further risks associated with these incursions. This closure aims to prevent the spillover of violence and ensure the safety of civilians in the border regions. The Chad-Sudan border has been historically volatile, and recent events have prompted increased vigilance from Chadian authorities to address security concerns stemming from armed groups operating in the area [<a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/fr/afrique/tchad-soudan-fermeture-de-la-fronti%C3%A8re-apr%C3%A8s-des-incursions-arm%C3%A9es/3837742">2</a>].</p><p>In a positive development, Burkina Faso and Ghana have engaged in discussions regarding intelligence sharing as part of their collective fight against terrorism. Both nations recognize the importance of collaboration in combating the rising threat of extremist groups in the region. The talks signify a commitment to enhance cooperation and utilize shared resources effectively to counter terrorism and enhance security for their populations. This partnership is especially critical as both countries have faced escalating terrorist activities [<a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/fr/afrique/le-burkina-faso-et-le-ghana-%C3%A9voquent-le-partage-des-renseignements-dans-la-lutte-contre-le-terrorisme/3836596">3</a>].</p><p>Guinea has detained 16 soldiers from Sierra Leone amid an ongoing border dispute. The situation underscores the heightened tensions between the two nations, which have arisen from territorial disagreements. The detainment of these soldiers has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and conflict. Guinea&#8217;s actions reflect the complexities of regional security dynamics, particularly as neighboring countries navigate their own internal challenges while dealing with cross-border issues [<a href="https://www.africanews.com/2026/02/25/guinea-detains-16-sierra-leonean-soldiers-amid-border-dispute/">4</a>].</p><p>In Niger, the ongoing violence has led to a humanitarian crisis, particularly in the Borgu region. Residents are fleeing to the Benin Republic as terrorists have once again invaded their communities. This alarming trend highlights the urgency of the situation and the dire need for humanitarian assistance for those affected. The influx of displaced individuals poses additional challenges for neighboring countries, which must manage both the humanitarian needs and security implications of such movements [<a href="https://guardian.ng/news/niger-residents-flee-to-benin-republic-as-terrorists-invade-borgu-again/">5</a>].</p><p>The recent events across Algeria, Chad, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Niger paint a complex picture of regional security challenges. The closure of the Chad-Sudan border represents a critical step in addressing immediate threats. At the same time, the cooperative efforts between Burkina Faso and Ghana signify a proactive approach to counter-terrorism. However, the detainment of Sierra Leonean soldiers in Guinea and the humanitarian crisis in Niger underscore the ongoing volatility and the urgent need for effective regional responses to security threats.<br><br><br>Sources : <br>1] <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/fr/afrique/l-alg%C3%A9rie-et-le-niger-d%C3%A9cident-de-r%C3%A9activer-imm%C3%A9diatement-les-m%C3%A9canismes-conjoints-de-lutte-contre-le-terrorisme/3832128">Algeria</a> <br>2] <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/fr/afrique/tchad-soudan-fermeture-de-la-fronti%C3%A8re-apr%C3%A8s-des-incursions-arm%C3%A9es/3837742">Chad - Sudan</a><br>3] <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/fr/afrique/le-burkina-faso-et-le-ghana-%C3%A9voquent-le-partage-des-renseignements-dans-la-lutte-contre-le-terrorisme/3836596">Burkina Faso - Ghana</a> <br>4] <a href="https://www.africanews.com/2026/02/25/guinea-detains-16-sierra-leonean-soldiers-amid-border-dispute/">Guinea - Sierra Leone</a><br>5] <a href="https://guardian.ng/news/niger-residents-flee-to-benin-republic-as-terrorists-invade-borgu-again/">Niger</a> </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Florent ABALOROU : Jeune leader engagé pour la paix et le développement communautaire]]></title><description><![CDATA[En Octobre 2025, Stake experts a lanc&#233; la deuxi&#232;me cohorte de son Programme d&#8217;&#233;change professionnel pour l&#8217;Att&#233;nuation des Conflits par les OSC, une initiative con&#231;ue pour accompagner les leaders d&#8217;organisations ouest-africaines dans un contexte de bouleversements profonds.]]></description><link>https://blog.stakeexperts.com/p/florent-abalorou-jeune-leader-engage</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.stakeexperts.com/p/florent-abalorou-jeune-leader-engage</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stake experts]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:27:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QNcG!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F06bbf067-c50e-427c-aeb8-abf2b5660c0c_969x992.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>En Octobre 2025, Stake experts a lanc&#233; la deuxi&#232;me cohorte de son Programme d&#8217;&#233;change professionnel pour l&#8217;Att&#233;nuation des Conflits par les OSC, une initiative con&#231;ue pour accompagner les leaders d&#8217;organisations ouest-africaines dans un contexte de bouleversements profonds.

bachelor&#8217;s degree in English language and currently pursuing a master&#8217;s degree (Year 1) in Gender and Social Cohesion. Her journey, marked by resilience, determination, and social commitment, reflects a constant desire to improve the living conditions of women, girls, and children in Benin.</p><p>Before pursuing a career in teaching, she worked for nine years in a construction company, where she gradually rose through the ranks to become Head of Procurement. From 2011 to 2018, she served as an English teacher in several secondary schools. Through her daily interactions with students, particularly young girls, she became aware of a troubling issue : the lack of academic ambition among many adolescent girls, who are often directed too early toward marriage at the expense of their education and autonomy. This reality became the driving force behind her social engagement.</p><p>Convinced that education is a fundamental lever for transformation, Salatou founded the NGO ALOUGUEDOO, Woman,<em> Pillar of the Home</em>, which works to promote girls&#8217; education, women&#8217;s economic empowerment, the protection of the rights of women, girls, and children, as well as environmental protection and road safety.</p><p>At the same time, she leads ZARA DESTIN, a company active in the construction and public works, public procurement, the production of improved cookstoves, and the processing of tropical products. This dual role, both associative and entrepreneurial, allows her to combine social vision with economic pragmatism in her community development initiatives.</p><p>Her personal journey has also been shaped by courageous life choices, particularly balancing professional engagement with family responsibilities. At one point, she faced a significant challenge that forced her to choose between her career and her marital life, a situation she overcame through dialogue and resilience. This experience strengthened her determination to promote peace and mediation within households.</p><p>By 2030, Salatou aims to inspire thousands of girls and women to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams, and become agents of social change. She is currently leading a citizen accountability project in the education sector, convinced that civic participation is essential for inclusive and sustainable development.</p><p>Her participation in the CSO Fellowship organized by Stake experts, is part of a broader capacity-building effort aimed at amplifying the impact of her work in conflict prevention, social cohesion, and women&#8217;s empowerment.</p><p><strong>ALOUGUEDOO NGO: For Education, Peace, and Social Inclusion</strong></p><p>Founded in 2012 and officially registered in 2015 in Djougou, in the Donga department, ALOUGUEDOO NGO is a civil society organization dedicated to improving the living conditions of girls, women, and children in Benin. The organization operates in the Donga, Borgou, Alibori, Atlantique, and Littoral departments. ALOUGUEDOO works to promote girls&#8217; education, women&#8217;s economic empowerment, and social cohesion in response to challenges such as low school enrollment, early marriages, and domestic violence. Its vision is to build peaceful communities where family harmony, social cohesion, and stability prevail, through mediation, awareness-raising, and inclusion practices. The organization&#8217;s  initiatives target young girls, women, community leaders, and local authorities and have already led to lasting reconciliations within households experiencing conflict. ALOUGUEDOO adopts a participatory and educational approach, particularly through the use of illustrated dialogue tools (&#8220;image boxes&#8221;), which  foster sustainable awareness and behavioral change. Despite sociocultural resistance, the organization continues its mission with  determination. Following the CSO Fellowship, ALOUGUEDOO aims at strengthening and expanding its actions, promoting social cohesion for inclusive and harmonious development.<br><br>For more information, please contact <a href="mailto:fellowship@stakeexperts.com">fellowship@stakeexperts.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Salatou Ouro Adohi : Une voix pour l’éducation et l’autonomisation des femmes]]></title><description><![CDATA[En Octobre 2025, Stake experts a lanc&#233; la deuxi&#232;me cohorte de son Programme d&#8217;&#233;change professionnel pour l&#8217;Att&#233;nuation des Conflits par les OSC, une initiative con&#231;ue pour accompagner les leaders d&#8217;organisations ouest-africaines dans un contexte de bouleversements profonds.]]></description><link>https://blog.stakeexperts.com/p/salatou-ouro-adohi-une-voix-pour</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.stakeexperts.com/p/salatou-ouro-adohi-une-voix-pour</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stake experts]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Feb 2026 09:30:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GQ8f!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fffc4fb4e-eddb-48a8-bd48-1cc724f3fd23_895x1024.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>En Octobre 2025, Stake experts a lanc&#233; la deuxi&#232;me cohorte de son Programme d&#8217;&#233;change professionnel pour l&#8217;Att&#233;nuation des Conflits par les OSC, une initiative con&#231;ue pour accompagner les leaders d&#8217;organisations ouest-africaines dans un contexte de bouleversements profonds.

In Burkina Faso, the transitional parliament unanimously adopted a law dissolving political parties and organizations, repealing the main legal frameworks governing the party system. The authorities say the measure is intended to reform the national political system and adapt institutional structures to current challenges, while some analysts view it as a democratic setback.[<a href="https://fr.africanews.com/2026/02/10/burkina-faso-une-loi-met-fin-au-cadre-juridique-des-partis-politiques/">1</a>]</p><p>In Nigeria, the United States and Abuja confirmed the upcoming deployment of 200 American military instructors tasked with providing training and technical support to Nigerian forces. The cooperation aims to strengthen coordination of complex operations against armed groups, amid ongoing security threats.[<a href="https://www.rfi.fr/fr/afrique/20260211-200-militaires-am%C3%A9ricains-vont-%C3%AAtre-d%C3%A9ploy%C3%A9s-au-nigeria-pour-former-l-arm%C3%A9e">2</a>]</p><p>On the security front, the Islamic State in the Sahel claimed responsibility for an attack on the international airport and an airbase in Niamey, Niger. Nigerien authorities said security forces repelled the assailants and reported that several were killed. On the same day, a separate attack claimed by the Islamic State West Africa Province targeted a military base in northeastern Nigeria.[<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/30/niger-airport-airbase-attack-islamic-state">3</a>]</p><p>In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the AFC/M23 rebel coalition claimed responsibility for a drone attack targeting Kisangani airport. Provincial authorities stated that the drones were intercepted before reaching their target. The claim comes amid continued tensions in eastern DRC and as ceasefire discussions are underway under international mediation.[<a href="https://fr.africanews.com/2026/02/04/en-rdc-lafcm23-revendique-une-attaque-de-drone-contre-laeroport-strategique-de-kisangani/">4</a>]<br><br>Finally, in Libya, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of former leader Muammar Gaddafi and wanted by the International Criminal Court, was killed at his residence near Zintan, according to several media outlets and close sources. The exact circumstances of his death remain subject to differing accounts, and an investigation has been opened.[<a
