The Sahel is 11 countries, from Dakar to Djibouti where two thirds of the inhabitants live from agriculture and livestock.
1 billion people today, 2 billion in 2050. For decades, the land has been degrading and the rise in temperatures linked to climate change has not helped.
Yet there is tremendous energy in these territories.
This is the conviction of SOS Sahel, which has been working with these rural communities for more than 40 years.
SOS Sahel brought together many actors who are betting on the development of the Sahel, this week, in Dakar for the Africa Days.
