Il a son siège à Dakar (Sénégal). La création de ce Centre entre dans la panoplie de mesures mises en oeuvre depuis les années 70 pour maîtriser les problèmes de la sécheresse et de la désertification dont l'une des conséquences majeures est la dégradation continue de l'environnement qui a fini par miner la base de production rendant particulièrement aléatoire la sécurité alimentaire. Aujourd'hui, le Centre de suivi écologique est devenu une association à vocation d'intérêt publique placée sous la tutelle du Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Protection de la Nature. Il regroupe l'Etat, les bailleurs de fonds (PNUD/UNSO), le Secteur Privé, les Collectivités Locales et le Personnel du Centre.
