2024 may Newsletter

May 2, 2024

Dear readers,

We are pleased to share with you this first issue of the year of our Newsletter, devoted mainly to two major legislative reforms that marked the last months of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.

At the community level, this involves the adoption of the new Uniform Act Organizing Simplified Collection Procedures and Enforcement Measures, published in the OHADA Official Journal on November 15, 2023, and came into force on February 16, 2024.

At the national level, 2023 was marked by adopting the law abolishing the Court for the Repression of Illicit Enrichment (CREI) and replacing it with the Judicial and Financial Pool (PFJ) to improve the fight against economic and financial crime.

Our editors, whose litigation practice is influenced by these reforms, will introduce you to the Financial Judicial Pool through two articles and offer you the first in a series dedicated to the new Uniform Act Organizing Simplified Collection Procedures and Enforcement Measures.

To round off this issue, we have included our traditional introduction to the past year’s primary legislative and regulatory texts.

We hope you enjoy reading this latest issue of our newsletter and that you find the topics covered applicable

Join us as we explore the intersection of law, energy, and environmental sustainability, gaining valuable perspectives from a seasoned legal mind at the forefront of Senegal’s progressive energy landscape.

How has Senegal’s energy transition policy, initiated in 2010, evolved over the years, and what pivotal role does it play in addressing current energy challenges as discussed at COP 28?

The energy transition policy initiated in 2010 made it possible to increase the contribution of renewable energies in the overall production of electrical energy to 31% of installed electrical capacities, a significant portion of which is solar energy. The scope of the development is considerable to the extent that in 2014, Senegal only had a 2MW mini solar power plant. This development, which contributes to the response to current energy challenges as discussed at COP 28, is perfectly in line with the commitment of 116 countries to triple the capacity of renewable energies in the world.
