Alvin Laurence is the new chief executive of the Citizens Engagement Platform Seychelles effective May 1, 2021.

Mr Laurence has a Master of Arts (Hons) in Political Science – Governance & Public Policy from the

University of Manchester. He has devoted his professional experience serving the public and advocating for their wellbeing locally and internationally.

The appointment comes at a time that the role of civil society is very vital amid the challenges in the social and economic domains in the country, partly caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Social change being the core objective of the organisation, the board of Citizens Engagement Platform Seychelles (Ceps) believes that Mr Laurence will be an added value for the growth of the sector.

Mr Laurence replaces Michel Pierre who resigned from the post of chief executive on March 26, 2021.

He was appointed Ceps’ chief executive on November 1, 2017.
