But also and above all to safeguard the viability of Lake Rose and all tourism and economic activities. We are in discussion with the populations. On the pole of Lake Rose, we have a green city pilot project carried out by a promoter which is a project of 400 billion CFA francs, which will release 18,000 dwellings in the next 5 or 7 years for the Senegalese, “said Bara Diouf.

A gentle city with an offer for social housing which will be up to 40 % of the 18,000 dwellings ”.
