  1. “The links with peacebuilding and the work of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali and the Department of Political Affairs of the United Nations are crucial to the Alliance. Our goals are closely linked and dialogue has been established at the highest possible level. We must work together on the priority interests of the Sahel, its security and its development.”

  2. “We are seeking to demonstrate our collective capacity by implementing projects with tangible results that are achieved quickly in areas that are very unstable with the aim of benefiting the most vulnerable populations. We are especially proud to have worked with the UNDP since the launching of the Alliance, which steers the sectoral governance group, which is key to the success of all of our work in the Sahel. More recently, the Alliance was honoured to host the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General for the Sahel. The members of the Sahel Alliance have worked closely with the G-5 Sahel countries to actively contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel.”

  3. “They are located in sensitive cross-border areas, as identified by the G-5; they address specific sectoral issues, including water, the resilience of populations affected by crises and the rebuilding of social fabric; and they seek to record genuine achievements by the end of 2018. The European Union and its member States have played a driving role in conducting the emergency development programmes. At the Nouakchott conference, on 6 December, the members ofthe Sahel Alliance contributed €266 million to these emergency development projects. In sum and in conclusion, the Sahel Alliance plays a powerful, operational and integrated role by fostering synergies between its each of its members in the framework of a close partnership with the G-5 Sahel permanent secretariat.”

  4. “The countries of the G-5 Sahel and the Alliance work, inter alia, on facilities dedicated to crisis regions, using adapted procedures; the allocation of budgetary support resources to address security shocks; multisectoral approaches in hotbeds of tensions; strengthening local stakeholders and recruiting the best actors to work on the ground. At the request of Heads of State of the G-5 Sahel, focus has been placed in recent months on projects in the most vulnerable areas. The G-5 permanent secretariat decided to launch, as a matter of urgency, rapid-impact projects as part of the emergency programme for the stabilization of the G-5 Sahel in the three border areas in the west, centre and east where the G-5 Sahel Joint Force intervenes. These priority projects meet the following three criteria.”

  5. “While working on these six areas, the Sahel Alliance has brought all the projects of its members under one common umbrella. This portfolio currently amounts to over €9 billion, which will be disbursed across more than 600 projects between 2019 and 2023. Some projects amounting to €4 billion have just been launched and a great many new projects totalling €5 billion have been identified. All of these programmes have been designed in line with existing national or regional strategies. In 2018 alone, a total of €l billion has been disbursed in the Sahel region. In order to make the assistance provided to the Sahel more effective and in harmony with the approaches championed in the 2005 Paris Declaration, the members of the Sahel Alliance pool their resources and their modes of operation.”

  6. “It seeks to include young people, women and marginalized populations and to implement a participatory approach at all levels. The Sahel Alliance coordinates the endeavours of its 12 members to expedite the implementation of development projects in the Sahel countries that are in the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-S Sahel), namely, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, the Niger and Chad. A partnership agreement was signed with its permanent secretariat on 30 October. The members of the Sahel Alliance have decided to focus on and enhance their action in six priority areas, which do not include all their respective action in the Sahel area: education and youth employment, agriculture and food security, energy and climate change, local infrastructure and decentralization, governance and domestic security.”

  7. “The goal of the Alliance is to contribute to the development of the Sahel and to reduce its social, economic, environmental and institutional vulnerability. The battle against violent extremism can be won only if development is pursued at the same time and with the same rigour. The Alliance is fully aligned with the priorities of the United Nations Secretary- General, namely, conflict prevention and strengthening the resilience of the most vulnerable societies. It stands in full harmony with the framework established by the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel. To tackle the deep-rooted or immediate causes of crises, the Alliance prioritizes in all its activities economic, social, political and cultural inclusion and respect for rights to strengthen social bonds, which are eroded by mistrust and exclusion.”

  8. “I am deeply honoured to address the Security Council. I thank Ibrahim Thiaw for having invited me to speak to the Council on behalf of the Sahel Alliance. The Coordination Unit of the Sahel Alliance is currently hosted by the Agence Francaise de Developpement, which I am head. The Sahel Alliance was jointly launched on 13 July 2017 in Paris by the German Chancellor, the President of the French Republic and the High Representative of the European Union. The initiative immediately garnered the resounding support of the World Bank, which I commend; the African Development Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). In 2018, the Alliance grew to include Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Denmark and the Netherlands. Observer members have also joined the Alliance.”
