Autonomous Port of Dakar structural reforms

Overview

Under the leadership of newly appointed Director General Doune Pathé Mbengue, the Autonomous Port of Dakar (PAD) has initiated a series of social and structural reforms.

Initially, the port focused on labor stability by reintegrating 288 contract workers who had completed multiple consecutive contracts. This move, part of the ‘Port Bu Bess’ vision, was intended to reduce socio-professional tensions and align with the Social Stability Pact.

Following these labor adjustments, the port unveiled a broader strategic roadmap aimed at modernization. This plan emphasizes infrastructure upgrades, digitalization, and improved performance to strengthen the port’s role in Senegal’s national logistics and blue economy. The administration seeks to leverage the port’s strategic location to support national economic development, building upon significant economic activity reported in 2025.
