Bilateral development aid - 2018
Polish bilateral aid for Senegal focused on improving the health, water and sanitary circumstances of the population and the teaching conditions in educational institutions. Main beneficiaries included primary school pupils, medical students and those cared for by educationand-care centres. Thanks to a project of the Polish Navegadores Society, over 3,000 pupils from 20 primary schools in the department of Kébémer have gained access to modern sanitary infrastructure. As a result, school attendance improved, especially among girls. With the involvement of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dakar, four projects have been completed. Children brought up in a kindergarten and orphanage operated by Polish missionary sisters gained better education and rehabilitation conditions thanks to equipment purchased by the embassy. Thanks to Polish Aid, the students and teaching staff of the medical faculty of the Cheikh Anty Diop University in Dakar can now use a modern laboratory for tests and courses in pathology, bacteriology and parasitology. The facility also partnered with the female cooperative in Kédougou that produces shea butter, where manufacturing time has been reduced by 80% after introducing mechanized production using a press financed by Poland. The cooperative’s production capacity has also increased.
In 2018, the total ODA for Senegal was PLN 1.17 million
