The Regional Report on Food and Nutrition Security in the Sahel and West Africa 2025 (RRSAN) provides updated and reliable data necessary to address the region’s growing challenges in food and nutrition security. It presents data and analyses from the latest Harmonized Framework (CH) cycle of March 2025 and includes in-depth technical analyses by the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS) and its partners on the 2024-2025 agricultural campaign.
Participatory Approaches and Local Governance
Strengthen community participation: Involve farmers, local authorities, and other stakeholders in water management planning and decision-making. Establish water management committees: These local committees would ensure fair allocation and rational use of water resources.
Adoption of Modern Technologies
Implement smart irrigation systems: Promote drip irrigation and weather data-based technologies to optimize water use. Deploy remote sensing tools and mobile applications: These tools allow precise monitoring of water levels and real-time crop needs.
