Hub pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest
À propos de ce hub
Le hub pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest rassemble des chercheurs, des intervenants humanitaires et des professionnels de la santé publique qui œuvrent principalement au Nigeria, au Sénégal et en Sierra Leone afin d’étudier les enjeux sociopolitiques et historiques liés aux crises. L’objectif est de renforcer les programmes nationaux et humanitaires visant à atteindre les groupes vulnérables. Nos travaux sont axés sur les crises actuelles et de longue durée liées aux conflits, aux déplacements forcés, à l’insécurité alimentaire, aux moyens de subsistance, à l’environnement, à la santé et aux flambées épidémiques.
