ABSTRACT

The focus of this chapter is on the adjustment crisis in which Senegal has been embroiled since 1978. The case is not only recent; it remains current. It involves a multiplicity of donors with a degree of interaction among them. And yet—unlike such multidonor-multirecipient cases as the Club du Sahel-CILSS venture or the ongoing Senegal River Basin (OMVS) irrigation and power scheme— the Senegal structural adjustment story focuses at the recipient end on a single recipient government, the Senegalese.
