Co-construction of a low carbon and climate change resilient development strategy for Senegal
The initiative is coordinated by ENDA Energie in collaboration with the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. Regarding technical support, a “core technical team” is set up and constituted by ENDA Energie and IDDRI (Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales) via the methodology and community of the Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative. In addition, a thematic group on urban transition and infrastructure is structured. It is made up of national structures (state and non-state) to accompany the process.
The Executive Council for Sustainable Urban Transportation (CETUD) is identified as the leader of this group. At the institutional level, a pool of five ambassadors chosen for their leadership and strategic orientation will be responsible for the group. The initiative is to set up a process to co-construct, with national stakeholders, a long-term strategy for inclusive, low-carbon and climate-resilient development. A multi-stakeholder framework will be mobilized to develop options for transforming the urban system and infrastructure that can be brought into the public debate to inform and support the development of public policies in the transport and mobility sector in general towards a more sustainable and low carbon approach. This initiative will notably allow to align the strategic orientations on the stakes of sustainable mobility by the coherence with the requirements of the ecological, energetic, environmental and digital transitions and the stakes of the development of logistics in Senegal.
