Descripción
The Sahel region is a place of opportunities, rich in human, natural and cultural resources. However, insecurity, climate change, the rise of violent extremism, the erosion of social cohesion and the lack of economic and employment opportunities, are some of the major challenges faced in the region. The regional forum ‘’Building resilience and social cohesion of Sahelian youth through their inclusion in agrifood systems was organized by the FAO in collaboration with the G5 Sahel Secretariat and technically supported by the Mauritania Investment Promotion Agency (APIM), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This guidance note presents the proceedings and deliberations agreed at the regional forum while highlighting priorities for young people’s most urgent needs in order to facilitate social cohesion and their inclusion in the rural development of their territories while identifying existing opportunities to strengthen youth inclusion in agrifood systems.
