Abstract

This tripartite agreement concerns the development of the W, Pendjari and Arly parks shared by three neighbouring countries: Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger. The main objective of this agreement is to promote and encourage cooperation between the States Parties based on coordinated and concerted solidarity for the harmonised and sustainable management of the natural resources of the W-Arly-Pendjari complex. Indeed, it aims at a concerted management of these three parks in order to preserve the ecosystem and to develop tourism. Through this agreement, the three countries not only want to ensure the security of these shared natural heritages, but also to enable the local populations to better benefit from the wealth they generate.
