Summary

The Community of Sahel-Saharan States CEN-SAD is a framework for Integration and Complementarity. It intends to work, together with the other regional economic communities and the Organization of African Unity, to strengthen peace, security and stability and achieve global economic and social development.

CEN-SAD was established on 4th February 1998 following the Conference of Leaders and Heads of States held in Tripoli. The Treaty on the establishment of the Community was signed by the Leader of Great El-Fateh Revolution and the Heads of State of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan. The Central African Republic and Eritrea joined the Community during the first Summit of the organization held in Syrte in April 1999. Senegal, Djibouti and Gambia joined during the N'djamena Summit in February 2000. Others countries joined later, and still more are in the process of joining the Organization.

It may be noted that CEN-SAD Community was recognized as a regional economic one during the thirty sixth ordinary session of the Conference of Leaders and Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity held on 04-12/07/2000 in Lome in Togo.
