The w orkshop will take place in partnership with the United Nations Economic Co mmission for Africa (UNECA)\, and with the support of the United Nations R egional Coordinator’s Office in Senegal.\n\nSenegal was designated pre-e ligible for graduation by the Committee for Development Policy at its 2021 Triennial Review of the LDC Category. In line with the mandate conferred by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 59/209 of 20 December 2004\, UNCTAD thereafter launched the preparatory process of Senegal’s Vulnera bility Profile (VP).\n\nUNCTAD undertook an inception mission to Senegal f rom 29 August to 3 September 2022\, after which it started drafting the Vu lnerability Profile of Senegal. On 14-15 December 2022 a second field miss ion to Dakar was undertaken\, with the aim of discussing emerging findings with national stakeholders and engage in additional bilateral meetings on the outcome of the 27th Conference of Parties of the United Nations Frame work Convention on Climate Change Conference and its impacts for Senegal\, \n\nThe Vulnerability Profile encompasses a focus on the country’s vulne rabilities across the three sustainable development goals’ dimensions of economy\, social development\, and the environment. It examines the econo my’s degree of exposure to exogenous shocks\, as well as the strengths a nd weaknesses of the development trajectory achieved by the country so far . On this basis\, it assesses the prospects for maintaining development pr ogress towards graduation and beyond. Given the importance of adequately p reparing for graduation\, the document identifies key areas that will requ ire special attention\, and opportunities that could be rapidly capitalize d to assure developmental momentum.\n\nTo complement the VP\, UNCTAD has p artnered with UNECA which undertook a specific analysis on the impact of t he African Continental Free Trade Area on Senegal’s prospects for struct ural transformation.

There is growing understanding and consensus on the need to build and strengthen the economic resilience of national economies and to further structural transformation as the basis for sustainable and impact ful development progress.
