A session on "Demographic Dividend in the Sahel" was held on 13 November 2019 at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD25) in Nairobi, Kenya. The event organized by the implementing partners of the Sahel Women's Empowerment and Demographic Dividend Project (SWEDD), CREFAT-CREG, and Promundo US, was an opportunity to exchange on the best practices and innovative approaches for the empowerment of women and girls, an essential lever to accelerate economic growth and sustainable development. Over 300 delegates attended the session, which was carried out in two stages. A first panel with the ministers of the SWEDD countries, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and their representatives for Benin and Ivory Coast outlined the encouraging results and successful interventions of the project in their respective countries. The second panel, with partners, focused more on strategies and tools for monitoring the demographic dividend to promote human capital. Priority actions focus on increasing girls' access to education, training for young women, family planning programs, along with taking cultural norms into account, and the elimination of child marriage and other harmful practices, while including men's contributions to gender equality.
