West Africa Regional Program
The Challenge
A current snapshot of West Africa reveals that, despite development interventions over the past several decades, basic human needs remain dramatically unfulfilled across the region. Of the 17 countries at the bottom of United Nations' 2005 Human Development Report's Human Development Index, eight are in West Africa. The six lowest ranked countries are all in the West African region supported by WARP. Moreover, of the 20 countries globally classified by USAID as "fragile states," six are located in West Africa (Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Togo, Liberia and Chad). Political instability, poor governance, corruption, lack of institutional management and technical capacity, natural disasters, high prevalence of infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS, and lack of private sector investment opportunities are some of the major constraints to development work in West Africa.
