Evaluating Digitalization Opportunities in Senegal With Governance in Mind

Countries such as Senegal are creating policies to use digital technology for economic growth and planning. However, there are relatively few studies on how these technologies impact families and individuals. This research examines the Digital Senegal Strategy to see if equal access, among other factors, to digital tools can offer equal chances for everyone. Senegal's economy lacks modern technology and skilled workers. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the Digital Senegal Strategy with realistic digital opportunities. Our study finds that Senegal is at a turning point for digital change, as seen in the growth of the private sector. This helps local talent and entrepreneurs. We suggest that including governance in the Digital Senegal Strategy can lead to significant economic growth and prosperity.
