SeneGAD is Peace Corps Senegal's volunteer-led gender and development committee. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
Our goal is to inspire, organize, and supports gender and development work in Senegalese communities! SeneGAD began in the early 1980's as the secondary project of a few enthusiastic Peace Corps volunteers. Under the name WID (Women in Development), they worked to improve the lives of women in Senegal. The mission and philosophy have evolved throughout the years, changing to meet the needs of loca
l communities. The current GAD (Gender and Development) approach focuses on the social, economic, political and cultural forces that determine how men and women participate in society. Today, SeneGAD supports a broad range of projects that reflect the needs of individual communities in Senegal. A few activities that benefited from our support in the past year:
Michelle Sylvester Scholarships and recognition ceremonies for middle school girls in 28 different communities
Seminar for women and community leaders in the region of St. Louis
Early Pregnancy and Early Marriage Awareness Days in the region of Kolda
Health Training in the region of Podor
Girls' Leadership Cyberconference in Tambacounda
Girls' Leadership Camp in Kaolack
Volunteers also incorporate SeneGAD work into their primary work assignments in the sectors of Agriculture, Health, Environmental Education, and Community Economic Development, as well as many secondary projects.
