Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationships between foreign public aid, governance and terrorism in West Africa, exploring the economic, political and security implications. The results indicate that foreign aid has a positive influence on governance, regardless of the country's group affiliation. The findings also show that aid has a generally positive impact on per capita income. However, in countries severely affected by terrorism (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Nigeria), aid negatively affects economic growth and the frequency of attacks but has no impact on military expenditures. The results underscore the importance of robust economic development policies through employment opportunities, good governance practices, and regional cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
