  abstract = {{E}rosion and flooding are the most visible consequences of coastal zone degradation in {W}est {A}frica. {M}an-made and natural processes, aggravated by the effects of climate change, cause erosion and flooding. {T}hese threatened densely populated coasts, the nerve center of the region's demographic and economic growth. {E}very year, coastal degradation takes a heavy toll on human life and socio-economic prosperity. {M}oreover, the {I}ntergovernmental {P}anel on {C}limate {C}hange ({IPCC}) projections suggest that coastal erosion and flooding in {W}est {A}frica is set to increase in the 21st century. {U}nderstanding the hazards and managing the coastline sustainably is a major challenge for the development of the region. {T}he {W}est {A}frica {C}oastal {A}reas {M}anagement {P}rogram ({WACA}) supports ongoing efforts led by countries and regional institutions to strengthen the resilience of communities and ecosystems. {T}his is achieved by providing financing, facilitating access to knowledge and deepening dialogue around development challenges. {T}he main objective of the {C}ompendium: {C}oastal {M}anagement {P}ractices in {W}est {A}frica is to make knowledge on coastal management practices available to practitioners and decision-makers engaged in building coastal resilience in {W}est {A}frica. {A}t the same time, it informs any stakeholder concerned by risks related to coastal erosion and flooding. {I}t complements technical catalogs on vulnerability to erosion, flood risks and flood protection infrastructure in {W}est {A}frica.},
