Following its successful operations in Mali, ADER has supported since 2004 the initiatives of Senegalese migrants living in France, who have set up the Development and Construction Aid Association (AECD). AECD and ADER are currently working on a three-year housing development programme in Senegal in the region of Tambacounda, which will be launched in 2006.
