Senegal is advancing national economic strategies focused on the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Initial efforts involved the Agency for the Development and Supervision of Small and Medium Enterprises (Adepme) forming an alliance with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to support Adepme’s 2026-2030 Transformation Plan. This initiative aims to improve business formalization and access to capital.

Subsequent developments show Senegal strengthening both domestic and international cooperation. Domestically, Adepme is coordinating more closely with the SME Directorate to align strategic actions. Internationally, Senegal is exploring economic ties with the United States, specifically regarding youth entrepreneurship, innovation, and financial inclusion through digital tools and microfinance.
