The FES Peace and Security Competence Centre coordinates through a project-orientated approach within a network of (07) seven FES Offices all interests related to Peace and Security subjects in Sub-Saharan Africa. Previously based in Abuja, it established office in Dakar in November 2016. It directly organises Peace and Security activities in the Sahel-Sahara region and in West Africa.
