To accelerate its economic transformation, Senegal intends to rely on the Masterplan 2025-2034 program which presents itself as the first operational version of Vision Senegal 2050.

Through a series of articles, Le Soleil revisits the main axes of the document “Programs and projects Masterplan 2025-2034”, which details the orientations and projects called to carry out this ambition of transformation.

To this end, a roadmap is structured around four priorities: a competitive and sovereign economy, the strengthening of human capital, sustainable territorial development, all focused on renovated governance.

In a document entitled “Masterplan 2025-2034 Programs and Projects” of which Le Soleil has had a copy, the government of Senegal sets out its extended economic vision over the period 2025-2034. Agriculture and agro-industry, mining, hydrocarbons, manufacturing, digital technology and high value-added services are at the heart of this strategy.

Through solid mechanisms backed by a forward-looking vision, the government intends to reduce dependence on imports, increase local processing of resources and strengthen the competitiveness of the private sector. Among the projects announced are the development of agropoles, the industrialization of iron, better exploitation of gold, marble and salt, increased fertilizer production, the development of the gas network, the modernization of the refinery, as well as the creation of industrial and pharmaceutical centers. Digital also constitutes a major axis, with the establishment of digital infrastructures, the dematerialization of administrative procedures, digital identity and the development of a digital manufacturing industry, underlines the document.

The government of Senegal thus intends to reduce the agri-food deficit from 500 billion to less than 100 billion FCFA. To this end, it is planned to increase local processing of the agricultural, fisheries and livestock sectors from 20% to 60%. Still in this same order of improvement, the government of Senegal intends to increase industrial production by 75% and increase the share of manufacturing exports from 15% to 35% by 2034.
