SAHEL

Sahel and West Africa Club

part of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

The Sahel and West Africa Club, formerly known as the Sahel Club, was founded after the 1968-1973 Sahel drought that affected food production in the Sahel region. The initial aim of the club concentrated on facilitating cooperation between Sahel States and member nations of OECD to provide solutions to food security and long term economic growth.
