In July 2011, Partners Senegal launched an innovative NED-funded project in Guinea to build the capacity of civil society to engage in reconciliation and security sector reform. Colonel Birame Diop (right), director of Partners Senegal, will discuss the program’s progress, challenges and next steps, as well as findings from a recent assessment of citizen-security sector engagement in Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. He will be joined by Mike Bittrick from the Africa Bureau at the US Department of State and Jennifer Cooke from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who will describe the challenges of disseminating positive models of cooperation in the region and the United States’ interests in promoting greater collaboration for reform.
