Efforts to eradicate #childmarriage, halt the practice of #FGM, & expand access to modern #contraception had made major progress in the past decade. Then 2020 happened.
#COVID19 threatens to eradicate these and other gains for gender equality.

#COVID19 related curfews and food shortages fuel a rise in security incidents. Mitigating these new sec threats requires research/adequate and timely dissemination of info. Assessing how African citizens perceive these threats can provide valuable insights when addressing them.
Citizen’s security is a #HumanRight! The inclusion of #citizens in decision-making options for #African peace and security is critical to building bridges that improve state and regional security.

Pour une paix durable, il faut faire de la bonne gouvernance la priorité des priorités parce que la mauvaise gouvernance est la source des conflits en #Afrique @ecowas_cedeao @wacsi @OSIWA1 @TheAFPS
Je participe ce matin au sommet extraordinaire des chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement de la #Cedeao sur la situation sociopolitique au Mali.
