Senegal is facing major challenges to development, such as high risks of desertification , overexploitation of forestry resources and fishing, diffused youth unemployment and persistent poverty. In 2014, Senegal adopted a new development model to address all these issues. This new strategy is called "Plan Senegal Emergent " (PSE) and it supports green economy as a mean to reach sustainable development.
Within this context, the study Green Industry in Senegal: Evaluation and Development Perspectives analyses the opportunities that Senegal has for advancing green industry as well as the obstacles that must be overcome in order to realize a green industry transition. It examines political and legislative constraints as well as technological and human capacities. It provides recommendations for how to address constraints in order to realize a green industry transition.
