IMF Staff Country Reports

This Joint Staff Advisory Note reviews Senegal’s Second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP–II), and provides advice on key priorities for strengthening the updated strategy and promoting its effective implementation. The PRSP–II, covering 2006–10, builds on lessons learned during the implementation of the 2003–05 Senegal Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP–I). The PRSP–II pushes the poverty reduction agenda forward so as to meet the objective of raising economic growth to about 7 percent per year necessary to halve poverty by 2015.
