The President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, chaired the first session of the Higher Council for Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral Orientation (CSOASP) on Thursday, October 23, 2025. This council serves as a strategic dialogue platform between the State and rural sector stakeholders.
This historic session, the first in twenty years since the adoption of the Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral and Halieutic Orientation Law (LOASPH), made it possible to present the revised version adapted to the new challenges of sustainable development, food sovereignty, and agricultural modernization. The holding of this council for the first time testifies to the President's attentiveness and special attention to the rural world.
The Head of State commended the participatory, inclusive, and transparent nature of the process, and reaffirmed the Government's determination to make this law the legal and strategic foundation for a modern, equitable, and resilient agriculture in service of the Senegalese people.
"Making Senegal a competitive, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable country, founded on strong, equitable growth driven by high-quality human capital"—this is the vision reaffirmed by the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, in outlining the foundations of Senegal's economic and social development.
