Monaco has reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to Senegal as Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, began an official working visit to the West African nation on April 15…
From Dakar to the Sine-Saloum delta, the visit focuses on strengthening partnerships and meeting local stakeholders involved in projects supported by the Principality. Relations between Monaco and Senegal span more than two decades and have recently gained renewed momentum with the signing of a framework cooperation agreement. This partnership is widely viewed as impactful and respectful, supporting national priorities while delivering tangible benefits to local communities.
Monaco currently supports 16 development projects across Senegal, addressing key areas such as child protection, healthcare and social support. Among them is assistance to organisations working with vulnerable children, particularly those living on the streets, offering medical care, psychological support and pathways toward reintegration. Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of children face such conditions, underlining the importance of sustained intervention.
Healthcare remains another major focus, accounting for around 30 percent of Monaco’s aid. During the visit, the Minister met with long-term partners including a leading hospital supported by Monaco, where recent projects have expanded facilities and increased surgical capacity for children in need.
Through this field visit, Monaco continues to emphasise a model of cooperation rooted in long-term commitment, practical impact and close collaboration with local partners.
