Plateforme des Femmes pour la Paix en Casamance (PFPC) was set up by two major organisations, namely Kabonketoor and Usoforal, working for peace in Casamance in Senegal. It was created so that women could make their contributions to the peace process and to ensure that their concerns were factored in the peace negotiations. PFPC therefore provides the platform for women to speak with one voice. The grant awarded will be used to undertake a project which seeks to strengthen women in Senegal, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau’s involvement and contribution to peace, security and stability in the sub-region.
