Sénégal: Sonko demands reforms for better government!

Celle, Deutschland - In Senegal there are current discussions about the governance of public institutions and the performance of state agencies. During a recent Council of Ministers, Premier Ousmane Sonko addressed serious dysfunction within the public sector. These problems affect numerous essential areas such as energy, agriculture, health and infrastructure. The prime minister calls for an urgent reform to improve the effectiveness of state measures, such as La Nouvelle Tribune.

suggestions to improve the situation include the implementation of performance indicators and clear targets. Dr. Lansana Gagny Sakho, the President of the APIX board of directors, has proposed a new model that aims at open tenders for the selection of directors. This initiative strives to restore confidence in the state by finding qualified candidates with a transparent selection. "This is a completely new approach that could bring a fresh wind to the administration," says a local political scientist.

reform projects and challenges

The need to rethink the existing financing models and to strengthen the monitoring and autonomy of the administrative structures is also emphasized. The government faces the challenge of changing the administration from a customer -oriented to a competence -based management culture. These reforms are the key to increasing the efficiency of public administration and gaining public trust.

"There is something and we have to act urgently to bring about positive changes," says a government official. While the demands for reforms are louder, the implementation of these proposals remains uncertain. The Sonko government is faced with the task of actually realizing the change.

Assaoré calls for the public administration to adapt to the challenges of today with a clear focus on efficiency and a new culture of performance. His visionary approaches are based on the experiences of the strategic development plan 2016-2020 of the treasury and contain innovative solutions for digital transformation and transparency.

"The book is a valuable tool that helps managers and the public to improve management in public administration," praises a national journalist's approach. This could make the Côte d’Ivoire the course for a more powerful administration based on these findings, which could also serve as a model for Senegal.

The reform of governance remains undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges for the Senegalese state, and it will be exciting to observe how the desired changes can be realized. Only a future -oriented and competence -based administration can set the course for the trust of the citizens.
