PLATEFORME DES FEMMES POUR LA PAIX EN CASAMANCE

What PLATEFORME DES FEMMES POUR LA PAIX EN CASAMANCE does

Plateforme des Femmes pour la Paix en Casamance (PFPC) is a Senegalese non-profit women's peace network founded in September 2010 at the 10th anniversary commemoration of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in Dakar, by the associations Kabonketoor and Usoforal. Headquartered in Boucotte, Ziguinchor, it functions as an advocacy and service-delivery coalition uniting 15 umbrella women's organizations with approximately 25,000 individual members across the natural Casamance region (Ziguinchor, Sédhiou, Kolda) and focal points in all regions of Senegal, with cross-border presence in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau.

PFPC operates three explicit intervention axes: Women, Peace and Security (advocacy toward the State and MFDC for inclusive peace negotiations); the fight against gender-based violence, delivered through the Kullimaaroo case-management mechanism supported by trained discussion leaders and 500+ community actors; and women's economic empowerment. Additional training programs cover obstetric fistula prevention and care, having trained 150 actors (NGO members, traditional communicators, religious leaders, village chiefs) and identified 50+ fistula carriers for treatment, while Kullimaaroo has supported 1,251 women and adolescent survivors of violence. The organization employs 13 staff and is led operationally by Chargée de projets Mme Faye Khadidiatou Rassoul Gueye.

PFPC is a grant-funded civil-society network organization with no commercial revenue model, pricing, or fee-for-service offerings. Its core technology footprint is essentially nil — operations are human-network-based rather than platform-based — and funding flows from Technical and Financial Partners (PTFs) are referenced as a recognized organizational strength without disclosed amounts. The organization's distribution model is structurally embedded: services reach beneficiaries through the 15 member associations, regional focal points, and community-level discussion leaders rather than through traditional commercial channels.

Core offering

PFPC is a coalition of 15 women's umbrella organizations representing approximately 25,000 members across the natural Casamance region. The platform conducts advocacy and lobbying toward the State of Senegal and MFDC for inclusive peace negotiations, while also delivering direct services to women and adolescent survivors of gender-based violence through community-based programs and capacity-building training.

Product overview

PFPC is a unified platform/network structure—not a modular software product—comprising 15 member organizations and approximately 25,000 members. It operates through three interconnected intervention axes: Femme Paix Sécurité (Women Peace Security), Lutte contre les VBG (Fight against Gender-Based Violence), and Autonomisation économique des femmes (Women's Economic Empowerment). Key service offerings include the Kullimaaroo case management system, active listening and GBV case management training, and obstetric fistula prevention and care training. The platform functions as an advocacy and lobbying mechanism rather than a technology product.

Direct peers

• International Alert: International peacebuilding NGO working on security and gender in conflict-affected states. Comparable focus on women's meaningful participation in peace processes and on building cross-actor dialogue, including with non-state armed groups.
• Search for Common Ground: International conflict transformation NGO operating across multiple fragile states including West Africa. Comparable as a direct peer in peacebuilding methodology, grassroots engagement, and partnering with local civil society networks to mediate conflicts.
• Femmes Africa Solidarité: Pan-African women's rights and peace organization headquartered in Dakar, Senegal. Highly comparable to PFPC given overlapping focus on women's participation in peace processes, GBV response, and advocacy across West African conflict contexts.
• West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP): Regional peacebuilding network with national chapters across West Africa including Senegal. Comparable as a network-of-organizations model delivering peace advocacy, early warning, and civil society capacity building in the same geographies PFPC serves.

Broad incumbents

• UN Women: United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and women's empowerment, including Women Peace and Security agenda implementation. Comparable as the global normative and funding counterpart for WPS programs that PFPC delivers at the community level.
• Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF): Global women's peace organization founded on UN Resolution 1325 principles, the same resolution that catalyzed PFPC's creation. Comparable mission on women's participation in peace processes and disarmament, though operating globally rather than regionally.

Others

• Cordaid: Dutch development and peacebuilding organization with significant West African programming including women's empowerment and GBV response. Comparable as a likely donor/partner counterpart rather than a direct competitor, given its broader thematic and geographic scope.

Emerging players

• International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN): Global network supporting women peacebuilders in conflict-affected contexts. Comparable as a thematic peer on the Women, Peace and Security agenda, providing capacity and advocacy support to local platforms like PFPC.
• Women Without Borders / SAVE: Austria-based women's peace and security organization implementing community-based prevention and survivor support models. Comparable in combining grassroots women's training, GBV prevention, and advocacy for inclusive security policy.
