The Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy has inaugurated the steering committee of the Program for the Promotion of the Digitalization of Public Administration (PRODAP).

Led by Sénégal Numérique and benefiting from support of Euro29 million from German Cooperation, this program will improve the efficiency of public services.

“PRODAP will set up a one-stop shop to simplify administrative procedures, supported by a cutting-edge data centre and a sovereign cloud. Initiatives such as the development of a government architecture, an administrative intranet, as well as critical services (taxes, treasury, communities) will strengthen Senegal’s digital sovereignty and promote digital inclusion,” said the ministry.

PRODAP is an extension of the Senegal Digital 2025 plan, aimed at accelerating the digitalization of administrative procedures. Its launch marks a step in Senegal’s new digital transformation strategy, the ‘New Technological Deal.’ Focused on four major pillars, this strategy aims to position Senegal as a leading digital hub in Africa by 2034.
