Development Objective

The PDO is now “to enhance Senegal’s investment climate through improvements in economic governance and the efficiency of commercial justice”. For the purpose of this project, economic governance means the policy, institutional, and behavioral framework that govern the activities of the private sector while efficiency of commercial justice refers to the speed of decisions of justice and the ease of access to justice for commercial cases. Revised PDO outcome indicators are: • Number of cases pursued by CENTIF doubled from 12 to 24 by 2016; • The average time to enforce a commercial contract is reduced from 780 to 529 days by 2016; • Increase in the number of decisions taken per year at the TRHCD on Commercial Cases.
