The Observatory works to shed light on the political economy of transnational organized crime in the region, focusing on the links between illicit markets, instability and conflict. The Observatory applies a partnership approach, working with and supporting civil society across the region. As part of this, the Observatory maps the hubs, routes and flows of illicit markets, and the key actors, assessing their implications for regional stability, conflict, governance and social tension in the region. The countries falling within the scope of the observatory are Nigeria, Central African Republic, Mali, Niger, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Cameroon, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Togo, Benin, Cabo Verde, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and Chad.Mapping illicit hubs in West Africa 1 / 1 Analysis All Publications Risk Bulletins Tools Articles Advanced filter Region All Regions All Regions Africa Asia Europe Global Latin America and the Caribbean North America Oceania Western Asia Areas Of Expertise All Areas Of Expertise All Areas Of Expertise Arms Trafficking Cybercrime Development Drug Trafficking Environmental Crime Financial crime and IFFs Gangs & Mafia-Style Crime Governance and corruption Human Smuggling Human Trafficking Illicit Trade & Counterfeits Piracy Violence and fragility Content All Contents All Contents Infographics People Podcast Repository Video Publication Type All types All types Policy Briefs Research Reports 08 May 2024 Port of call Crime & Conflict, CSA-Obs, WEA-Obs Port of call: Regional illicit flows through Douala, Cameroon 25 Apr 2024 FR ENACT, WEA-Obs Violent extremist groups and illicit economies in West Africa 27 Mar 2024 Sanctions and organized crime UN - Security and Rights, UNTOC, WEA-Obs Sanctions and organized crime 22 Mar 2024 Global Synthetic Drug Markets Drug Policy, ESACD, Global Organized Crime Index, North America Strategic Platform on Organized Crime, ESA-Obs, WEA-Obs Global Synthetic Drug Markets: The Present and Future 15 Mar 2024 Crime & Conflict, Crime Terror Nexus, WEA-Obs What does the recent escalation of mass abductions in Nigeria tell us? 07 Mar 2024 Hostage to violent extremism Crime & Conflict, Crime Terror Nexus, WEA-Obs Hostage to violent extremism: Kidnapping in northern Benin 05 Mar 2024 Community resilience to violent extremism and illicit economies FR Crime & Conflict, WEA-Obs Community resilience to violent extremism and illicit economies 20 Feb 2024 Global Initiative Strategy (2024-2026) Es Assassination Witness, Cities & Illicit Economies, Crime & Conflict, Eco-Solve, Global Organized Crime Index, Gold Watch, Latinoamérica y el Caribe, Private Sector, Resilience Fund, UN-TOC Watch, Wildlife Watch, APA-Obs, CSA-Obs, ESA-Obs, LAM-Obs, NAS-Obs, SA-Obs, SEE-Obs, UKR-Obs, WEA-Obs Global Initiative Strategy (2024-2026) 19 Feb 2024 The challenge of responding to synthetic drug markets, through the lens of tramadol in West Africa FR PT WEA-Obs The challenge of responding to synthetic drug markets, through the lens of tramadol in West Africa 31 Jan 2024 New approaches to regulating drugs in West Africa: Drug Policy, WEA-Obs New approaches to regulating drugs in West Africa: Exploring the impact of Ghana’s drug policy reform 25 Jan 2024 Observatory of illicit economies in West Africa fr WEA-Obs West Africa Risk Bulletin #10 23 Jan 2024 Climate change, illicit economies and community resilience: WEA-Obs Climate change, illicit economies and community resilience: Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal Load more Announcements 13 Sep 2023 Global Organized Crime Index, UN-TOC Watch, UNTOC, ESA-Obs, NAS-Obs, WEA-Obs The UNTOC in Africa: The continent continues to face a pandemic of organized crime – are the vaccines and antidotes not working?
