This report examines how vulnerability is understood and addressed by development agencies and government departments in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.
It was commissioned in 2007 by the Sahel Working Group, which was concerned that, despite large sums of money being given internationally to help people survive the 2005 food crisis, too little attention had been given to the unacceptable and growing levels of vulnerability that pre-dated the crisis and persisted two years later.
