Global Platform Senegal

Global Platforms Senegal, established in April 2020, collaborates with ActionAid Senegal and partners to address challenges faced by the youth population. Anchored in the Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA), it emphasises participation, innovation, flexibility, efficiency, and inclusion. With over 70% of Senegal's population under 35, youth employability, governance, corruption, and environmental issues are significant. Global Platforms Senegal views these challenges as opportunities for a fair, green, feminist, and sustainable future. Focusing on  climate change, FGM, governance, education, economic justice, and public services, it collaborates with a broad network including 13 youth Activista platforms, 27 young girls' clubs, and over 10 youth organizations. Through capacity building, advocacy, community mobilisation, and social movement building, Global Platforms Senegal aims to enhance youth self-awareness, community engagement, and trust with governance structures at local and national levels, fostering youth leadership and accountability.
