Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has called on the country’s private sector to play a central role in driving the newly launched “Jubbanti Koom” Economic and Social Recovery Plan, unveiled on 1 August 2025.
At a strategic meeting held on Wednesday at the Prime Minister’s Office in Dakar, Mr Sonko presented the key outlines of the plan to representatives of the national private sector, urging their commitment to its successful implementation.
The meeting highlighted the government’s ambition to accelerate economic transformation through stronger public-private partnerships.
The Prime Minister outlined the major reforms already undertaken since President Bassirou Diomaye Faye assumed office in March 2024, including an audit of public finances, the development of Vision Senegal 2050, and the official launch of the recovery plan.
“The government is committed to strengthening the role and place of the private sector in the operationalisation of state projects and programmes,” Mr Sonko said in his address, calling for a patriotic mobilisation of economic actors to support sustainable development.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, representatives from employers’ organisations welcomed the dialogue initiative, expressing both satisfaction with the consultation and their readiness to actively contribute to the plan’s implementation.
The “Jubbanti Koom” strategy aims to create a framework that encourages private investment, fosters innovation and drives national transformation through coordinated action between the state and the business community.
As Senegal navigates its economic recovery, the success of this plan will rely heavily on the engagement of the private sector, which the government views as a cornerstone for creating jobs, boosting growth and ensuring long-term resilience.
