West African public safety and climate resilience efforts
Overview
West African nations are implementing various regional initiatives focused on public safety, infrastructure, and climate resilience.
Initial efforts centered on road safety and urban resilience. In Chad, a dedicated road safety brigade was launched to increase driver awareness. Burkina Faso conducted joint operations in urban centers to enforce helmet use and vehicle standards. In Senegal, authorities focused on urban resilience through drainage works to improve road accessibility and prevent flooding.
Subsequent developments expanded into climate adaptation and health resilience. In Benin, the Green Climate Fund-supported SAP055 project was introduced to protect residents in the lower Ouémé valley from climate-related health issues like malaria and respiratory infections. Additionally, Senegal launched several micro-projects to support communities facing droughts and land degradation, specifically targeting vulnerable populations such as women.
