Events du programme 'Vulnerabilities and security'

50 years after the creation of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) Category, and in the lead up to the 5th UN Conference on the LDCs, we are holding a meeting to analyse the impact this decision has had and if it is still valid today.

La cérémonie d’ouverture du séminaire, ouverte à de hautes personnalités, a réuni des experts académiques sur la question, des hauts représentants des administrations des pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest ainsi que des partenaires bilatéraux et multilatéraux du développement.

This seminar presented the results of an impact study of development projects in the area.
