The Association of Senegalese Departments (ADS) replaces the extinct Association of Senegalese Regions (ARS) as a member of ORU

The Association of Senegalese Departments (ADS) joins ORU taking the place freed up by the extinct Association of Senegalese Regions (ARS). The president of ADS, Adama Diouf, was present in Abidjan’s bureau, where he declared himself in favour of territorializing policies in order to fight poverty more effectively. Diouf took the opportunity to highlight that the Senegalese Departments made the commitment of tackling poverty through different programmes. Each department will carry out a project on basic structural development (agriculture, food security, etc.).

The decision of accepting ADS’s application for membership was approved by all members of the bureau and will be submitted for ratification by the General Assembly which will be held in Seville in October.
