Due to lack of information and communication, the successes are not well known and the failures are often repeated.
Such dissipation and scattering of resources and energies undermine actions undertaken. The Hub was established to correct these anomalies. Financed by several partners (EU, MAE, IFAD, UNIFEM), The Hub is a small independent structure. Its targets are :
- States of West and Central Africa,
- Inter-governmental organisations,
- Civil society organisations, and
- Development partners.
