About us
GIZ has worked in Senegal since 1977. Since 1989 there is an office in the capital Dakar. The Senegalese ecosystem is particularly vulnerable to effects of climate change. The country’s climate adaptability will be a crucial factor in determining its future and addressing challenges such as food insecurity and poverty, especially in rural areas. German development cooperation has been supporting Senegal in its reform efforts for many years. Since 2019, Germany and Senegal have been linked by a reform partnership. The aim is to improve the environment for private investment, and thus create more employment and prospects, especially for the youth. GIZ is working on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) to address the following topics: - Good governance - Economic development, job training and employment - Climate and energy GIZ works towards a reliable and sustainable electricity supply in Senegal, through the deployment of renewable energy and the promotion of energy efficiency measures to reach progressive decarbonisation. To this end, education and employment in the area of renewable energies are being supported. In rural areas, GIZ facilitates access to electricity through village grids or by individual solar home systems.
