CONTEXT:
The countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad, and Togo present a wide variety of contexts, ranging from institutional stability to protracted security crises. The region faces intersecting challenges: insecurity, forced displacement, persistent poverty, fragile health and education systems, food insecurity, and the marked effects of climate change. These factors accentuate the vulnerabilities of populations, particularly people with disabilities and marginalized groups.
In this context, Humanity & Inclusion (HI) implements humanitarian and development actions aimed at improving access to essential services, strengthening community resilience, and promoting inclusion. HI’s interventions are structured around several axes: physical and functional rehabilitation, mental health and psychosocial support, inclusive education, protection, food security and livelihoods, risk reduction related to explosive devices, conflict transformation, and advocacy for the rights of people with disabilities. HI’s approach is based on community participation, the promotion of “do no harm” and the search for a sustainable impact in the service of human dignity. In this area, HI has approximately 650 employees and a budget of 25-30 MEUR.
As part of a drive for continuous improvement, HI has initiated a process of regionalization and decentralization of its operational governance, aimed at bringing decision-making closer to local realities. This development is accompanied by increased pooling of resources, harmonization of practices, and an increased search for programmatic coherence within its various intervention frameworks. By the end of 2025, program teams in Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad, and Togo will collaborate closely and in an integrated manner within a strengthened regional space, in order to maximize the impact, responsiveness, and relevance of the actions carried out as closely as possible to the populations concerned.
The security situation remains mixed across countries, with some areas affected by tensions or travel restrictions, particularly in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, northern Togo and Benin, and Chad. Appropriate risk management mechanisms are in place to ensure the safety of teams. Living conditions vary: while some areas of operation may be isolated or precarious, several capital cities offer a generally stable and pleasant living environment. Business travel is regulated and adapted to each context.
