	USAID Democracy and Governance: Africa: Senegal
		Senegal is an important partner of the United States because it has found a way to ensure social stability and religious tolerance without violence and repression.
		U.S. national objectives in Senegal are threefold: (1) contributing to peace, stability, and the consolidation of democracy in the region; (2) supporting Senegal's efforts to strengthen democratic systems and accelerated economic growth; and (3) combating terrorism.
		Senegal is still fragile, however, and will continue to need substantial assistance to resolve the conflict in the Casamance region and to create a sustainable growth dynamic that effectively attacks poverty and strengthens and deepens democracy, thereby safeguarding stability.
