The government of Senegal has integrated the SDGs into its Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE), a national policy document implemented through five-year priority action plans (PAP) and integrated into sectoral development programming of individual ministries. The PSE covers all 17 SDGs divided into three thematic priority axes: (1) growth and the structural transformation of the economy (SDGs 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9), (2) human capital, social protection and sustainable development (SDGs 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15) and (3) governance, institutions, peace and security (SDGs 10, 16 and 17).
The Ministry of the Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Planning, through their planning directorate, oversee the implementation of the SDGs. The implementation of the 2030 Agenda is monitored through the harmonised framework for follow-up and evaluation created by the two ministries in 2015. Trade unions have not benefitted from regular and transparent access to information on SDG implementation as, so far, only one mid-term information session has been organised on this subject. While some consultations had been set up in connection to the 2030 Agenda process, such as a workshop to validate the PSE and a workshop on the SDGs, trade unions have not been adequately involved in them. Trade unions have, however been able to participate in a process of pre-validating the voluntary national review of Senegal.
