On April 22, 2012, Tostan launched its Peace and Security Project in the village of Tankanto Maoundé in the department of Kolda, Senegal. This project aims to address issues of peace and security in West Africa by connecting grassroots communities and their social networks with regional and international institutions. With this increased collaboration, regions, and nations as a whole, can work together to identify barriers to the peace and security of their area and create solutions that will overcome those barriers.
