The major political event of 2013 was the government reshuffle in September where President Macky Sall replaced Prime Minister Abdoul Mbaye with Aminata Touré, the former Minister for Justice. This change of the head of government was the ideal moment to launch ICP III activities that same month in the presence of the new Minister for Economy and Finance, Amadou Ba.
The special nature of ICP III is that Luxembourg and Senegal have agreed to carry out a large part of the expenditure through national implementation. This method of implementation broadly uses Senegalese national public finance management procedures without truly being budget support. In order to assist with this process, Lux-Development provides technical assistance to the beneficiary ministries to draw up frameworks for sector-based expenditure and annual work plans. Alongside this new aid modality, Luxembourg has concluded operational partnership agreements, especially with Senegalese NGOs such as the Forum Civil and even the Mouvement Citoyen with a view to supporting good governance.
