Evidence snapshot for Senegal
Senegal has implemented several evidence-based programmes addressing gender equality, disability inclusion, and women's empowerment. Senegal's Law 2010-11 on absolute gender parity nearly doubled women's National Assembly representation from 22.7% to 42.7% following its 2012 implementation, with local representation sustained at 44% by 2022. The PAJEF digital literacy programme enrolled nearly 6,300 girls and women across seven regions, with 96% passing primary-school-equivalent exams or progressing to the next level, while Tostan's Community Empowerment Programme cut FGC approval among participants from 72% to 16% through rights-based education in Kolda region. More recently, Bokk Na Ci is building a national assistive-technology system to address 89.3% unmet need among Senegal's 7.3% population living with disabilities.
