Ousmane sonko drives pastef party training reform ahead of 2026 congress

Preparations are well underway for Pastef’s inaugural congress, slated for June 6, 2026, and a key component involves the announced architectural redesign of its Party School. The political organization states this initiative is fundamentally about internal restructuring, designed to bolster the oversight and synchronized execution of its activist training programs.

A memorandum from the National Secretariat for Training, overseen by Malick Sy, outlines the objectives of the revised organizational framework. It is crafted to address the growing needs for widespread participation, effective mentorship, and specialized professional development within the ranks of its activists. This strategic overhaul employs a multi-faceted approach – functional, territorial, and thematic – specifically engineered to refine the coordination of training initiatives across both national and international spheres.
