Bilan ONU au Sénégal : La barre des 30 000 emplois largement dépassée, malgré un brutal coup de frein en 2025
The United Nations System in Senegal released its annual report for the 2025 fiscal year on Tuesday in Dakar. The document highlights significant progress in job creation and support for local sectors, while also pointing to a sharp slowdown in the pace of recruitment over the past twelve months.
In terms of economic inclusion, the overall assessment shows a significant number of opportunities generated. The international organization's initiatives have created 37,240 direct and green jobs, primarily benefiting young people, women, and people with disabilities. This result thus exceeds the strategic target of 30,000 jobs initially set for 2028.
However, the 2025 data reveals a significant slowdown in momentum. Only 2,593 jobs were created during the year, marking a 93% decrease compared to the 34,645 positions created in 2024. The report attributes this decline to delays in the implementation of multifunctional platforms, cash flow constraints, and adverse weather conditions that impacted operations.
In terms of territorial development, 24 value chains out of a target of 31 have been strengthened or developed, representing a 77% achievement rate. This support has enabled producers to access more profitable markets, reduce post-harvest losses, increase household incomes, and improve overall food security.
In parallel, 1,180 SMEs have introduced innovations in agri-food processing, out of a target of 15,380 by 2028, while 106 out of 180 cooperative societies are now operational. Their growth promotes the pooling of resources and strengthens producers' bargaining power.
For 2026, the UN aims to stimulate the creation of decent and green jobs by developing agro-solar clusters and multifunctional platforms. Planned interventions will also focus on strengthening youth and women's entrepreneurship, while improving business competitiveness through digitalization and green finance.

Je m'attend à des résultats similaires pour 2026 au vu que le système même souffre de financement. Les prévisions devaient être revues et présentées pour rééquilibré les attentes du projet et de l'enveloppe financière au vu des difficultés. J'aurais aimé savoir aussi la durabilité de ses emplois ainsi que la fourchette du niveau de revenus et leur impact sociaux et environnementaux.
