The Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (Comité Permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel, or CILSS) was founded on 12 September 1973, following a period of severe drought in the Sahel in the 1970s. There are 13 member states: eight coastal countries (Benin, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal and Togo), four landlocked countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Chad) and one island country (Cape Verde).
