The Ministry of African Integration, Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) signed, Monday, November 9, 2026, a specific agreement relating to the modernization of the system of production and management of consular cards. This initiative aims to simplify administrative procedures for Senegalese established abroad and to strengthen the security of their documents.

The modernization of consular services takes a new step. The Minister of African Integration, Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad, Cheikh Niang, and the interim director general of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC), Amadou Lamine Guissé, signed a specific agreement intended to set up a modern and secure system for the production and management of consular cards.

Through this partnership, the two institutions intend to improve the quality of administrative services offered to Senegalese abroad. The envisaged system should in particular help to simplify the procedures for obtaining consular cards and to guarantee better reliability of these documents.

To ensure the operational implementation of the project, the CDC will rely on its subsidiary SYNAPSYS Conseil SA, specialized in technological support and digital development.

This agreement is part of the dynamic of modernization of the Senegalese administration, with particular emphasis on services intended for the diaspora. It reflects the authorities’ desire to bring public services closer to compatriots established outside the national territory, while strengthening the security of consular documents on an international scale.
