Aleph assessed the Platform for Analysis, Monitoring, and Learning in the Sahel (PASAS), funded by the French Development Agency (AFD). The programme sought to improve knowledge and analysis of crisis dynamics in the Sahel region. The evaluation found that while PASAS produced high-quality research and facilitated donor coordination, dissemination weaknesses and operational inefficiencies limited its effectiveness. Recommendations included enhancing research communication, integrating findings into policy planning, and improving monitoring and evaluation systems.
