Wealth Through Integration
- Share to:
In December 2008, when I met with the president of the International Development
Research Centre (IDRC), I was far from imagining that the work we wanted to do
together would become a reality so quickly. As early as the beginning of 2009, we
were given a unique opportunity to share our respective experiences through the
celebration, throughout 2009, of 15 years of the West African Economic and
Monetary Union (WAEMU). For the IDRC, this was a good opportunity to make
the large network of researchers it has been supporting for years available to
support a regional ambition. For the WAEMU, celebrating this anniversary was
the occasion to step back and take a critical look at the past 15 years of regional
integration efforts.
Once the decision was made, it was time to make this shared determination a
reality. What was said was done, and with contributions from our respective
specialists, preparation for the conference Regional Integration and Povertyreduction
Strategies in WAEMU Member Countries conference kicked off.
After several preparatory meetings and a call for proposals, the conference was held on December 8 to 10, 2009 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, attracting over a hundred researchers, journalists, representatives of civil society, national leaders and WAEMU experts. During this conference, the development, implementation and monitoring of regional poverty-reduction policies were compared and discussed by researchers, journalists and various members of civil society.
