New York : Près de 2 milliards de FCFA mobilisés pour le développement territorial de la Casamance, annonce Moussa Bala Fofana.
The Minister of Urban Planning, Local Authorities and Territorial Development, Moussa Bala FOFANA, represented Senegal at the Annual Meeting of the Partnership Platform on the Localization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), held on July 14, 2026 in New York, in the presence of numerous ministers and international partners.
This platform, jointly led by UN-Habitat and the Italian Government, provides a strategic framework for translating global commitments into concrete actions at the local level. It supports states and local authorities in integrating the SDGs into their public policies and development projects.
On behalf of the Government of Senegal, the Minister welcomed the commitment of UN-Habitat, the Local2030 Coalition, the Italian Government and all partners, recalling that this initiative represents a unique space for dialogue, learning and cooperation.
The Minister shared the major progress made by Senegal since the adoption, in December 2025, of the National Framework for Localizing the SDGs:
- Implementation of multi-level governance involving ministries, local authorities and development partners.
- Creation of the first Voluntary Local Review of the City of Pikine.
- Development of Territorial Master Plans, which will inform the revision of the National Spatial Planning and Territorial Development Plan.
- Mobilization of nearly USD 3 million (1.8 billion) for an integrated territorial financing mechanism in Casamance.
Beyond the themes of this meeting, the Minister recalled two structural reforms that Senegal intends to implement:
- Act IV of Decentralization, for an effective territorialization of public policies.
- The reform of territorial hubs, intended to strengthen the coherence and effectiveness of local public action.
These reforms reflect Senegal's commitment to building competitive, resilient and inclusive territories, in line with the Senegal 2050 Vision. The country remains fully committed to sharing its experience, learning from others and actively contributing to the work of this platform, convinced that the success of the SDGs depends above all on their implementation in the territories.
