We are making the voices of people affected by armed conflict heard through advocacy with political decision-makers and civil society.

The ICRC's regional delegation in Senegal also covers Mauritania, Morocco, Cape Verde, The Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau.
In the regional delegation, cooperation work is based above all on providing support to the National Society to develop its capacities. Cooperation is an active part of the humanitarian response before, during and after emergencies or conflicts. Among our most important activities are responding to migration in the region, training first aid teams that work in dangerous areas and delicate situations and strengthening accountability, transparency and financial sustainability mechanisms.
