Floods: Promises for 2024 Revisited, Government Has Done Almost Nothing

Recent floods in Dakar prompted the government to announce a national program of 921 billion CFA francs, but promised audits of previous flood management funds have not been conducted. In May 2024, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko announced an audit of the 717 billion CFA franc decadal plan, but no public report has been released, and the plan's total amount varies in different statements. Two years later, the sustainable solutions advocated in 2024 remain unimplemented, and floods continue to cause loss of life and property in Dakar.
