Mansour Bocoum, coordinator of Senegal’s PACASEN program, visited Touba Mosque to review projects funded by the program.
PACASEN invested 8,024,000,000 CFA francs in Touba, enabling the construction of 37 infrastructure projects. These projects included over 20 health centers, more than 16 schools with 80 classrooms, and paved roads. Local leaders in Touba also developed strategies to continue development after PACASEN funding ends. They began saving money and created new financial arrangements to maintain infrastructure and build additional health facilities.
Mayor Abdou Lahad Ka advocated for the continuation of PACASEN, calling it the most effective program ever available to local governments in Senegal. Bocoum encouraged the city to maintain its progress for the benefit of residents and the country.
