The Accelerated Growth Strategy

The founding purpose of the Accelerated Growth Strategy SCA is "To accelerate growth with substantive structural reform so as to combat poverty effectively, and to diversify the resources to secure the sustainability of growth."

A booming Senegal will be a platform for creativity, entrepreneurship and talent, each of whose local region undergoning development takes an open stance to the rest parts of Africa and the world .

The SCA develops and diversifies the sources of wealth creation by enhancing national competence in traditional sectors, by adding value to under-processed products on the market. Then those markets concerned will rely on domestic and sub-regional demand. SCA aims at sustained integration into international value chains

The mobilization of all segments of the nation to achieve these goals is both a factor and an indicator of the success of the ACS. It needs sincere and constant engagement of economic and social factors, of the State service, of the commitment of all citizens to create a the mindset of competitiveness and growth in local culture.

Together, to avoid absolute stagnation between the years 1960-1993, or a relative stagnation in which a 7% GDP grow does not allow the majority of the population out of poverty, Senegal government choose a sensible path of accelerated growth.
