Finally, the authors present our suggestions on possible policy and programmatic responses, based on identifying both regional and external dimensions to the problems. 2015-08-18T17:55:53Z 2015-08-18T17:55:53Z 2015 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/08/24919386/trafficking-fragility-west-africa http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22475 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Social Analysis Africa
