The OASIS Initiative

Organizing to Advance Solutions in the Sahel

Sahel Leaderhip Program Fellows and Facilitators: Mme. Haoua Abdou Idi, Mme Line Livorice, Mme Nana Aminata Toure Sidibe and Mme Maimountou Altini Yattara.

Sahel Leaderhip Program Fellows and Facilitators

Vision: The Sahel is a region where girls are free from early marriage, where women are free to choose the timing and number of their children, and where everyone has enough to eat.

Mission:  The OASIS Initiative is Organizing to Advance Solutions in the Sahel or Organiser l’Avancement des Solutions au Sahel.  We aim to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe in the Sahel within our lifetime. The OASIS Initiative is building the evidence base and local leadership necessary to implement effective interventions on-scale throughout the region. We are focused on three “pillars” critical for the region: 1) educate and empower adolescent girls, 2) expand access to voluntary family planning and 3) adapt agricultural practices to climate change.

Goals: 

  1. Wake the world up! Increase awareness of the humanitarian catastrophe projected for the Sahel and advocate for funding commensurate with the challenge.
  2. Strengthen and amplify local voices. Build research, implementation and leadership capacity in the region. Promote local leadership in international advocacy.
  3. Build the evidence base. Collaborate on research in the region, with a focus on effective, integrated and scalable approaches.
