Research led by Université Alassane Ouattara reveals how Côte d’Ivoire’s youth have emerged as victims and perpetrators of violent crime, and points to the measures that can offer them a brighter future.
The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Canada’s Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, announced major funding for an IDRC grantee during her August visit to West Africa.
An in-depth look at youth violence points to a variety of solutions to prevent crime, including mental health support, building community trust, keeping kids in school, and creating job opportunities.
