Summary:

Extremist violence in the Sahel is spilling over into coastal West African countries. Governments in coastal West African countries play the leading role in responding to this threat by proactively strengthening ties with local communities in vulnerable regions. Regional security cooperation can bolster national defenses through intelligence sharing, coordinating border patrols, and training focused on community protection. Forging a multitiered strategy--linking support to communities with regional and international bodies--would help contextualize local responses while sustaining regional cooperation to address the complex threat posed by violent extremist groups.
