On July 10, IDDRI and ENDA Energie co-organized a high-level event in Dakar on Senegal’s long-term strategies (LTS), as part of the DDP Senegal project funded by the French Development Agency (AFD). The initiative aims to strengthen the country’s technical and institutional capacities to better align short-term decisions with long-term sustainable development pathways.
During the event, four contrasting energy transition scenarios for 2050 were presented:
- a scenario that continues current trends;
- two scenarios that achieve the objectives of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) by 2030, one based on gas development and the other on renewables;
- and a scenario focused on energy efficiency, combining demand-side measures and accelerated deployment of renewable energy.
The event brought together ENDA Energie, IDDRI, AFD, the African Climate Foundation, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Ecological Transition (METE) and the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines (MEPM).
