Modernisation de l'Administration : Le Sénégal célèbre sa fonction publique et lance un audit biométrique national
Senegal reached a historic milestone this Tuesday by celebrating, for the first time on its national territory, World Public Service Day, established by the United Nations General Assembly. While the country previously participated only as a guest abroad, this edition marks a major turning point, driven by the highest authorities. With the approval of the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and the Prime Minister, the Minister of Public Service, Labor, and Public Service Reform, Mamadou Lamine Dianté, officially launched this event, designed to recognize and value public servants.
The highlight of the day was the presentation of awards to fifty civil servants selected for their exceptional merit across various ministries. Through this initiative, Minister Mamadou Lamine Dianté hopes to inject new momentum into performance: “By celebrating these most deserving employees, we want to inspire all state employees, regardless of their position or location, because every day they serve the public.” This statement is intended as a strong message of encouragement to the approximately one hundred thousand employees of the Senegalese administration.
Transparency: The physical and biometric audit has officially begun.
Beyond its ceremonial aspect, this day, June 23rd, served as the setting for the official launch of a nationwide operation: the physical and biometric audit of all civil servants. This monitoring and modernization campaign will be rolled out across the entire national territory until July 31, 2026.
To make a strong statement and set an example, the minister personally underwent the public registration process. "As the highest-ranking civil servant, I myself followed tradition by registering. And, fortunately, I am indeed in the database, and my physical and biometric data matches what is on file," he joked. In conclusion, Mamadou Lamine Dianté made a solemn appeal to department heads, directors, and civil servants to give the audit teams a warm welcome, reinforcing the government's commitment to making administrative transparency an absolute priority.
