Drought in Sahel prompts world aid push and reform
At a Niamey summit and in interviews across the Sahel, African and Western experts urge a new systems approach to drought relief.

Authorities stress water management and local participation, highlighting pilot pumps, private agencies, and a looming Senegal River dam as paths to long term food security.
