Senegal
- Economic growth of 2.6% in 2011 should improve in 2012 and 2013, driven by investment in energy and roads.
- Senegal successfully managed its political transition with the presidential election, won by Macky Sall, in March 2012 and the formation of a new Government.
- Youth employment remains a major concern.
The African Development Bank and Senegal have a long history of cooperation, dating back to 1972. Since that time, the Bank has financed 66 national projects in several sectors with a total investment of approximately US $ 1.1 billion or 532 billion CFA francs. Infrastructure projects make up 39.4 per cent of the Bank’s investment in Senegal, compared to 21.3 per cent for the social sector and 18.7 per cent for rural projects. In the private sector, the AfDB has financed four operations amounting to US $248 million.
