Sahel+ Group is a network of ten National Societies coordinating on matters of mutual interest. The network comprises the National Societies of Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Chad, the Gambia, Guinea- Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal, as well as the International Federation
of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as observer members.
On yearly basis, the network comes together every year for the group’s General Assembly to elect new leadership, except for the post of Secretary, which is permanently devolved to the Presidency of the Senegalese Red Cross. It also elected a Youth Representative to make the voices of the young people and volunteers of the 10 NSs heard at the Red Cross and Red Crescent Pan African Conference and IFRC General Assembly Youth Forums.

Throughout the years, the Sahel+ group has established several initiatives on key issues of interest for the RC/RC Movement such as a Food security platform in 2016 and a Sahel+ Migration network in 2017, and it has acted as a key vehicle for discussing IFRC and ICRC led initiatives and joint
programming in the region and for members.
