The major political event of 2014 was the adoption in February 2014 of the “Plan Sénégal Emergent” plan, which sets out a road map for “an emerging Senegal in 2035 with a caring society under the rule of law.” It is the frame of reference of Senegal’s economic and social policy. Moreover, local elections were held in June 2014, which led to a third cabinet reshuffle under the mandate of the President, Macky Sall, with the appointment of Mohamed Ben Abdallah Dionne to the post of Prime Minister.
High-level international conferences were hosted by Dakar in 2014, including in particular the 15th Economic Forum of Francophone countries in December and the Partners’ Forum Making Finance Work in June. With regard to development cooperation, the 10th partnership committee meeting was held on 2 June 2014 in the presence of the Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs Romain Schneider. The embassy in Dakar also actively participated in the steering committees of the 3rd Indicative Cooperation Programme (ICP III) in March and July 2014. In 2014, a memorandum of understanding between all the partners of the 3rd Indicative Cooperation Programme (ICP 2012-2016) was signed, with the aim of strengthening coordination between the bilateral and multilateral programmes.
