The Municipal Development Agency (ADM) hosted an important working session focused on aligning its strategies with the country's long-term national Transformation Senegal Vision 2050 agenda.

This meeting, chaired by Dr. Mamouth Diop, Director General of ADM, along with his technical staff, saw the participation of Mrs. Awa Gueye Thioune, Technical Advisor to the Prime Minister in charge of decentralization and governance issues.

Towards urban renewal and strengthened territorial governance

This meeting illustrates the authorities' desire to strengthen territorial governance and optimize the effectiveness of public interventions at the territorial level. It is also part of the process of highlighting the opportunities of decentralization, a key pillar of Senegal's development strategy.

The discussions between ADM staff and the Prime Minister's Technical Advisor highlighted the agency's impressive results. It was also noted that the Agency's actions are perfectly aligned in implementing the National Transformation Agenda. The ADM's major focus on assisting local authorities in financing territorial development and urban renewal requires capitalization and broad dissemination for scaling up. The meeting also provided an opportunity to define common guidelines for consolidating the results achieved by ADM in municipal and community development.

A framework for exchanges for the territorialization of public policies

The presence of the Prime Minister's Technical Advisor demonstrates the importance placed by the highest authorities of the State on inter-institutional coordination between the various territorial development structures. This working session is part of the dynamic of aligning territorial public policies with national strategic objectives.

The ADM, as a preferred instrument for supporting local authorities, develops several strategic approaches combining infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects. It mobilizes several themes of urban territorial development issues. For more than a quarter of a century, the ADM's anchoring in the territories is justified by its know-how and its high mastery of the challenges of urban renewal. In the territorial implementation of the National Transformation Agenda, the contribution of the ADM will be decisive in view of its effective presence in the four strategic axes, with the initiation of around thirty actions with high potential for sustainable urban and economic development.

This initiative demonstrates the authorities' commitment to making decentralization an effective lever for development, in perfect harmony with the ambitious objectives of the Senegal 2050 agenda.
