This report recommends, through an inclusive plan of action, concrete proposals that are consistent with
national needs yet responsive to international challenges. A first recommendation is to ensure a strong
political leadership and commitment from key decision-makers. This will facilitate a good ownership
of the SDGs, and therefore their alignment with the Senegal’s new economic and social policy framework.
Another recommendation is to establish efficient SDG monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, through an
operationalisation of the Harmonised Monitoring-Evaluation Framework; bringing together the monitoring of
SDG indicators and PSE indicators. In addition, capacity should be built for ensuring the production of quality
data on SDGs, by deepening the present work on mapping data sources during the Data Test study. A key
recommendation is to promote the domestic resource mobilisation, through the development of public-private
partnership or the creation of an annual budget line dedicated to the production of sectorial statistics. Finally,
an effective communication is required on SDGs and their data-related needs in order to develop a strong
sense of national ownership.
