Small Feasible Actions for the Promotion of Environmental Rights (PAFE)
Advocacy in energy and climate negotiations; adaptation and mitigation of climate change; promotion of renewable energies; support and guidance for women's groups.
Overview of the project
Aware of the stakes and the urgency of climate change in Senegal, JVE Sénégal aims to build the legal capacities of local elected representatives, students, CBOs and journalists. The project aims to equip them with the tools they need to take a more effective approach to their actions, and also to act as intermediaries in disseminating information. The project is helping to solve the problem of a lack of information and training on climate change and environmental law, insofar as it will enable stakeholders to act with a full understanding of the context, and with full legitimacy thanks to a better knowledge of the environmental legal framework applicable in Senegal. It will also enable all citizens to be alerted in the event of any violation of these standards, which will now be accessible.
Contributing to community capacity-building on climate change and environmental rights.
