Central African Nations Moving to Rescue Flagging EconomiesMinisters from Central African nations - Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo Republic - Brazzaville, DR Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, São Tomé & Principe and Angola - are meeting today, March 17, 2023 to look at new investment opportunities to shake up their respective economies. In 2022, the Central African ministers agreed to merge two regional blocs in a move to boost trade and growth. The 11-member Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) joined with the six-member Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). The deal aimed to eliminate rivalry that has helped to make central Africa the poorest region among Africa's economic groups. Central Africa's lull in economic growth has largely been caused by natural disasters, armed conflicts, and the fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The central African region is also looking for investments in the energy sector.

How African Women Cross Mediterranean in Hope of Better LifeDoctors Without Borders (MSF) has been running search and rescue activities in the central Mediterranean since 2015, working on eight different search and rescue vessels, alone or in partnership with other NGOs. Since 2015, MSF teams have provided lifesaving assistance to more than 85,000 people in distress at sea. MSF relaunched search and rescue activities in the central Mediterranean in May 2021, chartering its own ship, the Geo Barents, to rescue people in distress, to provide emergency medical care to rescued people, and to amplify the voices of survivors of the world's deadliest sea crossing. Anyone crossing the sea to escape a dangerous situation or to find a better life is in a vulnerable position, but women face the additional burdens of gender discrimination and, all too often, gender-based violence, along their routes. Women represent only a small proportion - around 5% - of those who make the dangerous journey from Libya to Italy. On board the Geo Barents, female survivors regularly disclose practices such as forced marriage or genital mutilation (affecting either themselves or their daughters) as being among the reasons they were forced to leave their homes. Women also face specific risks during their journeys - MSF medical teams report that women are proportionally more likely to suffer fuel burns during the Mediterranean crossing, as they tend to be placed in the middle of the boat where it is thought to be safest. Many women rescued also report having experienced various forms of violence, including psychological and sexual violence and forced prostitution. Beyond the difficulties women face on migration routes and in Libya, MSF teams on board the Geo Barents often witness the strong bonds that develop between survivors on the women's deck. The women come together to support one another with daily tasks and childcare.
