A Comparison of EU and AU Crisis Response Policy Frameworks: The Sahel as a polycrisis context A Comparison of EU and AU Crisis Response Policy Frameworks: The Sahel as a polycrisis context ================================================================================================ - Polycrisis - Policy recommendations - Researchers Policy brief no. 15 | March 2026 By Faith Mabera The polycrisis phenomenon demands holistic and adaptive crisis response strategies in regions affected by intractable conflict. The Sahel typifies this challenge, where security, governance, ecological and socioeconomic issues converge, requiring enhanced coordination and pragmatism from local and international actors. The entanglement of crises in the Sahel, as well as their cascading effects, have also been compounded by cuts in Western humanitarian and development budgets and intensifying geopolitical competition. This evolving landscape has impacted regional peace, security and governance frameworks and institutions, with far-reaching normative and policy implications.
