GIZ Senegal strives to be a pioneer in propelling sustainable development priorities through technological advancements that the digital transformation provides. To operationalise this vision, GIZ Senegal intends to systematically digitalise its portfolio by using digital solutions and approaches targeting the macro, meso and micro level. 

GIZ Senegal"s digital portfolio currently has many implementing partners of which the Senegalese "Ministère de la Communication, des Télécommunications et du Numérique" (MCTN) and the Senegalese national company Sénégal Numérique S.A. (SENUM) are the most prominent governmental partners. The demand of the projects pertains to support in analyzing, conceptualizing, facilitating and managing activities related to the digital transformation of Senegal. While GIZ has technical sector and development policy expertise, additional digital implementation capacities are needed to guarantee the success of the projects. This assignment is aimed at meeting this demand from the projects implemented by GIZ in Senegal.

The project aims to strengthen public institutions for the promotion of a sustainable digital transformation in Senegal through three outputs, two of which are managed by GIZ and one is managed by Expertise France.
