Senegal

The NCEA has been quite active in Senegal in the last five years: first through its involvement in the SEA for the offshore Oil and Gas sector (independent advice and coaching), and subsequently under its MOU with DCSOM of the Ministry of Mining (independent advice and capacity development). Allthough the SEA has been finalized, the NCEA remains in contact with stakeholders from the Ministries of Mining and Environment (and others) to continue to promote SEA as an instrument for sustainable development.

Legislation in Senegal

Senegal has ESIA legislation since 2001. Responsible Agency is the Direction for Environmental Assessment and Classified Installations at the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. Senegal has annual national conferences for sustainable development. In the 2018 edition, the prime minister underscored the need to undertake SEA for integration of sustainable development into sectoral policies, in particular the oil and gas sector.
