The new Director General of the structure managing Senegal’s digital ecosystem, Isidore Diouf, says he will make the development of a sturdy digital public infrastructure (DPI) one of his priorities as he takes office.
Among other things, Diouf says he will prioritize actions that seek to widen Senegal’s digital economy and make it contribute more to the country’s GDP. The contribution of the digital economy is currently valued at around 3.3 percent but the government aims to take this up to 10 percent as outlined in the Senegal Digital Strategy 2025.
