Each year, the Policy Center for the New South releases its Activity report highlighting the collective work accomplished throughout the year. The report is also an opportunity for us to thank all contributors whose support and commitment make our work possible.

 

2021 was a watershed moment for the Policy Center for the New South. Drawing on its experience, the think tank harnessed lessons learnt in recent crises to fine-tune its organizational structure and set a new three-year research program for 2021-2023. Last year was specially marked with the granting of common public interest status by the Moroccan authorities to the Policy Center for the New South, an acknowledgement that recognizes the Center's public service orientation. 

 

2021 was also marked by a new organizational structure, better geared towards maintaining high research quality standards. This has already enabled better conceptualization, structuring and scientific and editorial supervision of our publications.  Positive results were also obtained in matters of digitalization, knowledge management, communication and research valorization. 

 

In 2021, the Center produced 139 research publications, including 16 books and its regular annual reports, hosted 110 events, including regular flagship events, Research valorization also grew significantly in 2021, with over 100 Opinions or Op-Eds published.  Press and journal references increased 70%, video content viewing increased 49%, and podcast listening increased 155%.

 

Through this report, the Policy Center is seeking to share detailed information on our 2021 activities.

Given the Russian-Ukraine War, the failure of Operation Barkhane, the rise of the French right, and the general African fatigue with Françafrique, it is not clear if an overhaul of France's African policy is possible.

La guerre russo-ukrainienne est engagée sur de nombreux théâtres, y compris celui de l'information et de la communication. A travers des dynamiques hybrides, anciens et nouveaux médias, sont mobilisés à la fois à des fins d'information, de persuasion et de propagande, avec en toile de fond une crise sous-jacente, celle des fake news. Chaque camp est soucieux de contrôler ses messages et de relayer son propre cadrage. D'un côté, la communication russe cherche à légitimer son intervention et ...
