The purpose of this set of reports is to analyze how UNCDF, through the support it delivers, promotes not only local development and institution- building in individual countries but also regional integration.

Most projects are devised as part of a national policy dialogue, and do not take account of developments over the border or in West Africa as a whole. This report looks at the bigger picture and analyses the presence of UNCDF from a regional perspective to detect consistencies or inconsistencies in the spatial dimension of our work.
