In September 2009, the U.S. Government's Millennium Challenge Corporation and the Government of the Republic of Senegal signed a $540 million Compact, aimed at reducing poverty and increase economic growth by unlocking the country’s agricultural productivity and expanding access to markets and services. The two primary Compact projects, Roads Rehabilitation and Irrigation and Water Resource Management, are strategically investing in the road network and essential irrigation schemes and are geographically focused in the Senegal River Valley in the north and the Casamance region in the south. The Compact priorities were identified to align to the country’s comprehensive long-term objectives of enhancing national growth and food security.
