REAPING THE DEMOGRAPHIC DIVIDEND DURING EMERGENCE - THE SPECIAL CASE OF THE GUEULE TAPEE-FASS-COLOBA

The Fass Emergent (Fass E) model is a pilot initiative to implement the demographic dividend on a local scale, namely in the Gueule Tapée-Fass-Colobane commune in Dakar, Senegal. This commune represents Dakar in miniature in terms of geography and demography. The area was once a fishing village and is now part of a densely populated African capital. This book describes an innovative approach to implementing an integrated strategy for emergence at the grassroots level to inspire other communes in Senegal, elsewhere in Africa and further afield too. It defines preparation and strategy content as well as the action plan, the monitoring and evaluation mechanism and the partnership framework.
