Housed within the UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA) and the Regional Bureau for Africa (RBA) mothership lies the United Nations Development Programme Sub-Regional Hub for West and Central Africa (UNDP WACA), covering 24 countries, ranging from high and middle-income economies to least-developed countries and countries in crisis and post-crisis situations.

UNDP WACA situates itself at the heart of UNDP’s response to instability and the rapidly evolving political and socio-economic climate of the sub-region, focusing on the big issues of our time, such as crisis prevention and response, climate change, extreme poverty, and economic development.

This UNDP WACA Annual Report 2021 details our work with partners in promoting economic recovery, supporting efforts to stabilize parts of the Sahel deep in crisis, and creating conditions for realizing the SDGs and the AU’s Agenda 2063 across the sub-region.
