Civic Spacein West Africa
Civic space remains open in only one of West Africa’s 16 countries according to CIVICUS. The reduction in safe public spaces in which democratic debate can take place represents a breach of citizens’ digital rights and makes achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) problematic.

Crisis Action's Sahel Campaign
A decade of conflict in the Central Sahel border region between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso in West Africa has made the region the epicentre of one of the world’s fastest-growing crises.
“In the Sahel, civil society is on the frontline of the crisis and has a unique expertise that too few decision makers take into account. By helping to create the People’s Coalition for the Sahel, Crisis Action has elevated West African voices to new audiences globally.”

Right now, the climate crisis is affecting every country in the world. As a climate activist in Nigeria, I have seen firsthand what happens to communities that don't have the means to adapt to climate change.
Join the People’s CALL TO ACTION on jobs in Africa
Millions of young people in Africa aspire to be responsible and productive citizens who can help develop their communities. Yet, according to the International Labour Organization, almost half of African youths in the workforce were either unemployed or working poor in 2019. Since the pandemic hit, more people are out of jobs than ever before, with young people and women impacted most of all.

Sign your commitment to end child marriage
In order to protect our childhood, we should end child marriage. Because no one has the right to ruin our childhood. Since children are the present and future of the nation, how can you ensure the future in the middle of the four walls when a child gets married? We must fight to save children's future, not for the girls only, but for the country and the world.
