Senegal will host, from November 17 to 19, 2026, in Dakar, the technical phase of the 12th edition of the Annual Review of Community Reforms, Policies, Programs, and Projects of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA). This evaluation will focus on 149 regulatory texts and three community programs and projects representing a total amount of over 3.3 billion FCFA.
The work, scheduled to take place at the Ndiambour Hotel in Dakar, will measure the progress made by Senegal in the transposition and implementation of community reforms. The exercise also aims to identify the difficulties encountered in their implementation and to formulate recommendations to accelerate regional economic integration.
This 12th edition follows a 2025 campaign that revealed an average implementation rate of 76.45% in Senegal. This result serves as a benchmark for assessing the progress made in 2026 and measuring the efforts still needed to harmonize public policies with community commitments.
In addition to examining the 149 regulatory texts, the review will also focus on the execution status of three community programs and projects, with a total budget exceeding 3.3 billion FCFA. The evaluation will specifically assess their level of completion and contribution to the development and integration objectives of the Union.
Established by an Additional Act of the Conference of Heads of State and Government on October 24, 2013, the annual review serves as a mechanism for monitoring the commitments made by the eight member states of UEMOA. It allows the Union Commission to regularly assess national performance regarding the implementation of reforms and the execution of community projects.
For Senegal, the challenge of this new evaluation will be to consolidate the achievements of 2025 and improve its reform implementation rate. In an economic space based on free movement, regulatory harmonization, and convergence of economic policies, the effectiveness of community texts remains a key indicator of the deepening of regional integration.
