Dakar, 1is Oct (APS) – The Minister of the Environment and Ecological Transition (METE), Daouda Ngom, expressed, Tuesday, the desire of his department to revitalize the National Commission for Sustainable Development (CNDD), with a view to exiting it of his lethargy.
“Our ambition is to revitalize the CNDD, which can play a very important role in the implementation of public policies, but which has unfortunately fallen into lethargy,” he declared.
He was speaking during a sharing workshop on the revitalization of the National Commission for Sustainable Development.
In his opinion, this revitalization requires the adaptation of the CNDD to the evolution of the institutional, national, regional and international context, as well as the improvement of its effectiveness and the clarification of the roles and responsibilities of its various members.
He also underlined the importance of developing an action plan, which is justified by the need to set out in a consensual roadmap, “the priorities on which they will concentrate their efforts for the years to come” .
It is, according to him, “a vision of development which is based on a harmonious and balanced articulation between the economic, social and environmental dimensions [et] even cultural”.
He recalled the importance of acting together in a “concerted and proactive” manner, to achieve results considered significant.
According to the coordinator of the economic policy coordination and monitoring unit of the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Cooperation, Souleymane Sow, “the introductory report of the first national conference on sustainable development underlined the need to strengthen our institutional framework and ensure more effective implementation of sustainable development policies”.
According to him, this workshop remains an opportunity to lay the foundations of a “better equipped aid scene”, to support Senegal in its transition towards sustainable development.
The director of international organizations and globalization believes that “the convening of this workshop sounds like a call to intensify efforts for all national and international actors […]”.
The goal is to ensure that “we Senegalese can be there in 2030 to achieve our objectives”, underlined Ambassador Pierre Faye.AMN/ASG/BK
