This formally allowed the prolonging if the third indicative cooperative programme (2012-2016) until the end of 2017, thus allowing thus allowing the Coopération luxembourgeoise to align itself with Senegal’s national policies and strategies and to coordinate with other technical and financial partners on the field.
In addition, the partners had the opportunity to exchange views on the subject of the main elements of the programme’s mid-term review and its five components, which took place last year.
Besides the partnership Commission, Minister Schneider briefly met the Senegalese Minister for Water and Health, Mansour Faye, and the Minister of Local Governance, Development and Land Management, Abdiulaye Diouf Sarr, to discuss subjects of common interest.
The meeting was followed by a traditional political dialogue with the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Planning, Amadou Ba, and the joint launch of the “Guide for Budgetary Aid”.
