CPRC West Africa

The CPRC’s partners in West Africa are found in Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger and Senegal. The regional network is coordinated by Bara Gueye of IED Afrique in Senegal.

CPRC in West Africa is initially concerned addressing the lack of attention to poverty dynamics in statistics and policy to date. Partners are undertaking research to develop a robust baseline of knowledge on the extent, characteristics and causes of chronic poverty in the region, and build up a more detailed and disaggregated picture of “the poor” than official documents tend to have currently.
