Ending the Every Day Emergency

This report, authored by Peter Gubbels of Groundswell International, and jointly commissioned by World Vision and Save the Children, aims to assess progress, lessons learned, and challenges in promoting “resilience” in the Sahel, with a particular focus on the well-being of children. It offers evidence-based, tangible recommendations for a comprehensive, child-focused approach to resilience in the Sahel. The study is based on interviews with other 30 practitioners, researchers, representatives from donors, governments and the UN, as well as field visits in Burkina Faso and Niger, and relevant literature and reports.
