In the Islamic Countries

The development of the fourth LPST 2016-2020 presents some singularities compared to the
previous ones. It was developed by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Land Transport and
Disenclavement (MITTD), however, not as an implementation of a financing convention
formerly stipulated or of a project financed by the PTF. In fact, it complies with the guidelines
provided by the WAEMU in the framework of public financing project in the subject of
infrastructures, which use multi-year programming instruments to formulate national and
international strategies and translate them into objectives and programs. At the same time, it is
part of the process of operationalizing the strategic axes of the SEP, which comprises the
national strategy.

The transport infrastructure planning process in Senegal is summarized in the following
