Advancing Sustainable Development for Nine Local Communities in the Region of Labé by Enhancing the Humanitarian-Development Nexus Through the Human Security Approach

Despite its enormous natural potential, a significant part of the Guinean population is suffering from multidimensional poverty and widening inequalities, especially in terms of access to basic social services, economic infrastructure, and social protection. This is reinforced by the lack of active involvement of communities in local governance, further deepening their vulnerability to external shocks such as natural disasters and economic volatility. These multifaceted challenges are particularly pronounced in the region of Labé.

The programme builds upon an initiative supported by the UNTFHS in 2019 to strengthen the application of human security towards accelerating the achievement of the SDGs at the local level in West Africa. To address these interrelated challenges, the programme aims to support and reinforce community resilience by accelerating SDG achievement at the local level through the following objectives: (i) development of an early warning and early action system, (ii) improvement in access to basic social services such as health, food and WASH, and (iii) enhancement of sustainable productive community assets and social capital. ​
