The research line “Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa” deals with the major political and security challenges of this region. The CSDS pays a particular attention to Belgium’s and the EU’s areas of interest, to crisis and conflict management, to UN actions in this field and to what makes the whole region so attractive for Western and emerging powers (especially in terms of access to resources).
