Senegal, Restructuration of Irregular Settlements in Pikine South

The project comprised the restructuration of irregular settlements in urban districts of Dakar (Municipality of Pikine South). 

Components included public awareness campaigns to displace and relocate the population, construction of streets and public services (electrification, sewerage and waterworks), the structure of compensation for displaced populations, the development of a new district comprising the construction of multipurpose centers as well as construction and rehabilitation of schools.
