Seychelles civil society platform gets new chief executive |04 March 2016

Marcel Rosalie has been appointed as the new chief executive of the Citizens Engagement Platform Seychelles (Ceps).

Having been an active member of various civil society organisations since 1996, Mr Rosalie joins Ceps 15 months since its inception as the platform for civil society in Seychelles.

Mr Rosalie was previously the director general for culture at the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, a post he had held for almost seven years.

Mr Rosalie steps in at a point when the organisation is gearing up to reach out to the wider civil society in Seychelles, and further establish itself as the civil society platform in the country.

Ceps will soon be conducting a civil society survey aiming at improving its database of civil society organisations registered in the country.

As part of the survey, Ceps will use the information provided to identify the current contributions being made by non-profit organisations and the sectors of intervention.

Through this collective intelligence, Ceps is hoping to strengthen two of the platform’s main objectives which are, to act as a representative of civil society organisations and to actively promote the civil society as a strong pillar in national and international development.

Currently a total of 58 civil society organisations are members of Ceps and the membership are grouped into seven thematic areas. As the platform for civil society, Ceps brings together not only non-governmental organisations (NGOs) but also community groups, labour unions, sports associations, charitable organisations, faith-based organisations, professional associations, and foundations.

The work of Ceps is led by a board, elected by the membership.

Mr Rosalie leads the Ceps secretariat which comprises five staff members who undertake the day to day management and operations of Ceps.

The organisation’s work is guided by its strategic plan 2014 – 2017.

Mr Rosalie’s appointment took effect on March 1, 2016.
