Informal transport reform Dakar

“The minibus renewal and professionalization process: a combined approach to modernize paratransit services in Dakar, Senegal,” is one of eight case studies part of a series titled Studies of Informal Passenger Transport Reforms in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This report presents a case study of Dakar until 2022. The Senegalese capital was the first city in West Africa to engage in paratransit fleet renewal programs, starting in the early 2000s – a process that is still ongoing. This document comprehensively describes the reform process and results, introducing previously unpublished data and proposing an analysis of the outcomes for the main stakeholders.

The case studies were prepared with the support of Agence Française de Développement, MobiliseYourCity, and the Mobility and Logistics Trust Fund (MOLO) of The World Bank.
