Mr. Djiby Ndiaye, renowned for his advocacy for conflict resolution and reconciliation, highlighted the need for inclusivity and grassroots engagement. “True peace can only be achieved when all voices are heard and all stakeholders are involved,” Ndiaye asserted. “We must prioritize dialogue and understanding in Senegal at all levels, from high-level negotiations to community-based initiatives, to foster genuine and lasting peace amongst the political opponents.”
Throughout the meeting, the members discussions centered on a range of topics, including enhancing collaboration with other Senegal’s NGO groups in America, leveraging continued outspokenness for peacebuilding efforts, and empowering youth and women in conflict prevention and resolution in Senegal. Additionally, members explored ways to strengthen GPS’s organizational structure and streamline decision-making processes to ensure agility and responsiveness in a rapidly changing world.
