Against the background of a global financial crisis and economic downturn, growth in seaborne trade continued, albeit at a slower rate. Existing forecasts suggest that the outlook for seaborne trade is uncertain and that some challenging times lie ahead for shipping and international seaborne trade. These challenges are further compounded by other developments, including maritime security at sea and the need to address the climate change challenge. The Review of Maritime Transport examines trends in sea to borne trade and analyses the comparative performance of different geographic regions and countries. Every year, the Review of Maritime Transport gives attention to transport developments in a particular region. The focus in 2009 is on developments in Africa since 2006 when UNCTAD last reported on the region.

Une combinaison de facteurs rend l’Afrique de l'Ouest vulnérables à la criminalité organisée. Elle est l'une des régions les plus pauvres du monde. Dans beaucoup de pays, le niveau de gouvernance est faible. La région se situe à proximité de routes de trafics illicites, et les groupes criminels peuvent recruter des troupes dans une nombreuse population de jeunes désespérés. L’Afrique de l'Ouest est attaquée, depuis l'intérieur mais surtout depuis l'étranger. Il est temps pour le monde et pour les gouvernements concernés, de répondre à la menace avant que d’avantage de ressources ne soit volées, que d’avantage de vies ne soient perdues, et avant la criminalité n’approfondisse son enracinement dans les institutions de l'État et de la société dans son ensemble.
