Senegal
The Global Financing Facility (GFF) is supporting Senegal in an ambitious transformation of its health system through the SRMNIA-N Strategic Plan 2024–2030, now recognized as the national investment case. This framework is fully aligned with the guidelines of the SND 2025–2029 and the Senegal 2050 vision, consolidating the coherence of health, nutrition, and human capital development policies. In a context marked by financing disruptions, particularly linked to the volatility of external resources, the GFF is supporting Senegal in analyzing the impact of these shocks on health spending. This approach helps identify areas of budgetary vulnerability and adjust priorities for strategic optimization of available resources to provide quality health services, particularly for women, children, and adolescents.
The focus is on improving the technical platform, building the capacity of health workers, expanding free care and mobilizing domestic resources. The GFF also supports budget reforms, including program-based budgeting, while helping position Senegal within the UHC Compact movement by advancing its agenda for aligning resources and stakeholders with the national universal health coverage and around Senegal's priorities. Resource mapping and identifying funding gaps enable more strategic and equitable allocation. Finally, the full participation of civil society is encouraged to ensure transparency and effective monitoring of the investment case.
“With GFF support, through the NAFOORE project, we engaged religious leaders to raise awareness among men of the importance of frequent pregnancy check-ups. This has allowed us to improve pre- and post-natal care for pregnant women and post-partum family planning.” —Nurse Oulymata, Head of Station, Thietty, Senegal
