First Equitable and Resilient Recovery in Senegal DPF

closed

The development objectives of the First Equitable and Resilient Recovery Development Policy Financing in Senegal support structural reforms for equitable and resilient growth post COVID-19. It is the first in a series of two programmatic development policy operations (DPO). The development objective is to enable equitable growth and sustainably increase the resilience of households (Pillar 1), firms and fiscal accounts (Pillar 2). The program consists of policy reforms to: (a) boost the resilience and productivity of human capital by sustainably and equitably broadening access to healthcare, social assistance, and economic opportunities for women on the labor market (Pillar 1); and (b) boost macro-fiscal resilience and private sector participation for productive jobs by improving debt management and equitable tax revenue mobilization, while boosting the growth potential of the private sector, focusing on access to finance, and competitive private sector participation economy-wide and in the digital and energy sectors (Pillar 2).
