The study titled Measuring Sustainable Development for Post-2015 in Senegal provides insights into Senegal’s key national priorities under the SDGs, the status quo of Senegal as regards SDG implementation and the way forward based on lessons learned from the MDGs and data-related challenges ahead for SDG implementation and monitoring in Senegal.
