Signed on 30 September 2026 in Dakar, the agreement establishes a framework for cooperation across connectivity and network resilience, cybersecurity, digital public services, innovation and digital skills development.
The signing ceremony took place at the Administrative Building of President Mamadou Dia and was attended by the ambassadors of Finland and the European Union to Senegal. The Ministry was represented by its Secretary General, Serigne Ahmadou Bamba Sy.
