Partners Senegal
Partners Senegal - Center for Civic Collaboration
Partners Senegal was established in 2010 through the Partners for Sustainable Leadership Initiative to provide Senegal and West Africa with a leading conflict resolution and change management Center. Prior to the development of this Center, Partners has been active in Senegal, working to assist USAID in determining future programming to improve Democracy and Governance in Senegal.
Partners has also collaborated with the US National Defense University’s Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS) on a unique program to enhance civil-military institutional relationships by building collaboration in the field of human security. From this collaboration the African Institute for Security Sector Transformation (AISST), housed in Partners-Senegal, was born.
Based in Dakar, the Center promotes stability and progress in Senegal through connecting, educating and integrating the government, security-sector, and civil society. The Center is committed to being a premier institution for increasing the capacity of African agents of change to achieve peaceful development, strengthened democracy and rule of law throughout the continent.
Partners-Senegal is currently focusing on:
Youth engagement through pilot school mediation programs.
Skill-Building through providing training of trainers in facilitation, coalition building, cooperative advocacy and planning processes.
Mediation standardization in Senegal through providing the internationally accredited PDCI Mediation Certification program.
