Graines de Citoyenneté

05.08.2025

Graines de Citoyenneté ("Seeds of Citizenship") is a structuring and cross-cutting programme supporting the full integration of youth in Mauritania.

 

Through training sessions, calls for projects, discussion platforms, and events, the "Seeds of Citizenship" project contributes to strengthening the capacities of civil society actors engaged with Mauritanian youth. It fosters dialogue between civil society and public authorities (PAs), both in Mauritania and in Europe (diaspora, decentralized cooperation), to ensure better consideration of the challenges facing youth.

Seeds of Citizenship is implemented by 47 partner organizations and 2 consortia composed of Mauritanian associations, migrant-led organizations based in Europe, local authorities from both regions, institutional actors including the CDHAHRSC (Commissariat aux Droits de l'Homme, à l'Action Humanitaire et aux Relations avec la Société Civile), and French NGOs.

This programme is funded by the European Union (EU), the French Development Agency (AFD), the Centre-Val de Loire Region, CCFD-Terre Solidaire, and Secours Catholique.
