Senegal’s presidency has announced a major administrative reform with the publication of Decree No. 2025-1929, which reorganizes and strengthens the Office of the Prime Minister. The new framework is designed to transform the PM’s office into a central hub for government coordination and strategic oversight.

According to the presidency, the decree introduces modern management tools, restructures key departments, and enhances the administrative architecture to streamline decision-making. Officials say the reform is part of a broader push to improve efficiency and ensure greater coherence across government actions.

Policy experts have welcomed the initiative, noting that a more empowered Prime Minister’s Office could help address longstanding gaps in policy coordination. They argue that strengthening the institution is essential for executing national priorities more effectively.

However, some civil society groups are expressing caution. They question how the new powers will be applied in practice and stress the need for transparency and accountability as the reform takes effect. The coming months will be critical in determining whether the overhaul delivers the promised improvements.
