The project partner is the Union Communale des Femmes de Ndiarème located in the department of Guédiawaye. This poor urban suburb in the north-east of Dakar was founded in 1967 to receive people expelled from the capital. The commune of Ndiarème-Limamoulaye, where the Union is located, has a population of about 40,000 inhabitants over an area of 1.5 km².

The Union is an organization with a federative structure bringing together 92 women’s associations and individual members and was officially recognized in 2017. The Union’s mission is to work for the development of the locality and to improve the living conditions of suburban communities, particularly women and young people living in precarious situations. The Union is chaired by Ms Yandé Diop, a committed woman known for her work in favour of the development of her community.
