Brief Description

The joint programme titled 'Building foundations for decent jobs creation and inclusive social protection in Sénégal' aims to create an enabling environment for the acceleration of decent job creation and the expansion of inclusive social protection, coordinated by well-capacitated government entities with support from development and social partners through a consensual and inclusive roadmap.

The joint programme focuses on creating decent jobs and expanding inclusive social protection in Senegal, led by government entities with support from development partners.
