In recent years, climate shocks, insecurity, forced displacement, and global economic pressures have continued to affect livelihoods and food security across the region. The conflict in Sudan and Mali further intensified displacement pressures in Chad and Mauritania respectively, while the conflict in the Middle East contributed to rising energy and transportation costs, creating additional inflationary risks for vulnerable households. Despite this challenging context, Sahelian countries have continued to invest in adaptive social protection (ASP) systems as a key instrument for reducing poverty, strengthening resilience, and responding more effectively to recurrent shocks. The Sahel Adaptive Social Protection Program (SASPP) is funded by a multi-donor trust fund (MDTF) with contributions from Denmark, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. SASPP is hosted under the Sahel and West Africa Countries (SAWAC) Umbrella Program, both administered by the World Bank. Its objective is to support countries in building adaptive social protection systems to help vulnerable households adapt to the impacts of climate change. The program supports country programs with recipient and Bank-executed activities in six Sahelian countries (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal) as well as a regional analytical work agenda.
