Supporting rural access to education and medical facilities in Senegal
ICIEC is providing EUR 81 million in Non-Honoring of Sovereign Financial Obligations policy to support a leading Moroccan contractor and developer “Jet Contractors” in the financing the construction of six university campuses under the Republic of Senegal Ministry of Education sponsorship. The campuses are to be located in rural areas and each has been designed to include a fully functioning medical center. The seminal project is a significant effort to support the government of Senegal’s efforts to fight academic disengagement whilst preventing the spread of COVID-19. Development of basic infrastructure for educational purposes is crucial to Senegal’s sustainable economic development and empowering communities. ICIEC’s support for this project is enhancing access to education and healthcare for many Senegalese citizens in traditionally underserved regions, contributing to job creation and the development of critical infrastructure, and supporting the growth of Senegal’s economy.
