Invitation – CREG Scientific Thursday

Dear researchers, academics, policymakers, curious minds, and enthusiasts,

The Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economics (CREG) invites you to the Scientific Thursday session on May 21, 2026, dedicated to the theme:

“BSDD Policy Scorecard: West Africa – Central Africa”

Why is this session important?

In a context marked by budgetary constraints, rapid demographic transitions, and persistent inequalities, the BSDD Policy Scorecard emerges as an innovative tool for measuring and comparing the performance of public policies. This session will provide participants with an opportunity to better understand the differing dynamics between West Africa and Central Africa, shed light on governance challenges, and contribute to reflections on the effectiveness of demographic dividend-sensitive policies.

Speakers

Presenter: Prof. Latif DRAMANI, Iba Der Thiam University
Moderator: Dr. Camille GUIDIME, University of Parakou
Discussant: Fabien NGENDAKURRIYO, Economic Affairs Officer – Sub-Regional Office for West Africa

Join us as we collectively shed light on budgetary and demographic challenges, and inspire solutions tailored to the realities of West and Central Africa.

Advocacy and Awareness Workshop on the Recognition of Unpaid Domestic Work: The Role of Policymakers and Civil Society Actors

The Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economics (CREG), in partnership with the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the Association for the Support of Women’s Development in Benin (AADEF-Benin), and the Association Cœur Solidaire (ACS), is organizing an advocacy and awareness workshop on the recognition of unpaid domestic work (UDW).

This workshop is part of the project:

“Supporting the Development of Policies on Unpaid Care Work for Intergenerational Equity in Togo and Benin,” with support from IDRC and Global Affairs Canada.

The workshop aims to strengthen the recognition of unpaid domestic work, largely carried out by women, and to promote its integration into public policies.

The objectives are to raise awareness among stakeholders about the issues surrounding unpaid domestic work, strengthen advocacy for gender-responsive public policies, mobilize civil society organizations around collective action, and formulate recommendations for decision-makers.

The workshop will bring together representatives of women’s rights organizations, political actors, officials from state institutions, as well as experts from CREG, who will provide continuous technical and scientific support throughout the proceedings.

Dates: April 28–29, 2026
Venue: Chant d’Oiseau, Cotonou

Introductory presentations, testimonies, panel discussions, and group work sessions will be followed by a reporting session dedicated to drafting and validating recommendations.

📍 Palm Beach Hotel, Saly – Senegal

As part of the 4th NTA Africa Conference, dedicated to “Generational Economics and the Care Economy at the Heart of Public Policies in Africa,” the Doctoral Workshops in Economics and Management will be held.

This academic gathering provides a platform for showcasing and engaging in scientific dialogue. It will allow PhD students to present the progress of their research and receive methodological and critical feedback.

The Doctoral Workshops are open to PhD students in their first (D1), second (D2), and third (D3) years.
They are particularly intended for those in the final stages of their work, who will have the opportunity to participate in pre-defense sessions.

This session aims to provide a framework for scientific dialogue between PhD students, supervisors, and experienced researchers, to promote ongoing research, and to encourage methodological exchanges, while supporting final-year PhD students in preparing for their thesis defense.

👉 PhD students are invited to submit and present their papers during the Doctoral Workshops in order to share the progress of their research and benefit from scientific and methodological feedback.

It will bring together researchers and public finance specialists to explore how data on unpaid domestic work and intergenerational time transfers can inform the design of social policies.

🔎 The discussions will draw on analytical tools developed by CREG and its partners:

  • National Transfer Accounts (NTA)

  • National Time Transfer Accounts (NTTA)

  • Social Accounting Matrices integrating care work

🤝 In partnership with Bajeti Hub, this meeting will strengthen the dialogue between research and public action to better integrate unpaid care work into economic analysis and social policies.
