Building for Peace
and Prosperity in the Casamance Region
of Senegal: A Case Study
 In
response to the devastation brought
on by the 22-year civil conflict
in the Casamance region of Senegal,

Peace and Prosperity in the Casamance,
which strengthened village associations
as a way of reviving communal action
and the economic and social infrastructure.
By examining the Casamance environment
and the project design, this report
reveals the outcomes and results
of the project, provides a theoretical
framework for the project's peace-building
efforts, and finally, analyzes lessons
learned. (2005)
