Air quality management structure for Dakar.

Abstract

The organisational structure of air pollution management in Dakar has been assessed and compared to existing structures internationally. Information on the present environmental management structure in Senegal (Guerreiro et al, 2005) and propositions made in previews studies for a future air quality management structure for Dakar have been collected and evaluated. In addition, discussions on the present and future air quality management structure for Dakar were hold during several meeting with the Direction of Environment, allowing to specify the expectations towards the development of the CGQA and Observatoire Régional. Based on the above background information assessment, as well as meetings held with key institutions and the stakeholders workshop, recommendations for the future air quality management structure for Dakar have been elaborated and are presented in the current report.
