Team Leader, Evaluation of the MCC Transmission Project, Senegal

We work across all development sectors including democracy and governance, health and education, the environment, and economic growth. Since 1997 we have worked in over 100 countries for clients such as US government agencies, bilateral donors, multilateral development banks, foundations, and nonprofits.

Proposal Objective

SI is pursuing an RFP to perform a five-year evaluation of the Senegal II Transmssion Project Evaluation which focuses in supporting Senelec’s ongoing efforts to develop a reliable high-voltage transmission network in and around greater Dakar, which accounts for roughly 60 percent of the nation’s electricity demand and 20 percent of its population. This is necessary for Senegal to effectively capitalize on private sector-led investment in generation and to ensure that electricity is reliably delivered to consumers. Much of the private sector interest in the sector is focused on new, lower-cost generation projects including wind, solar, and natural gas, which rely heavily on a reliable, stable transmission network.

The Transmission Project includes three activities: (1) Transmission Network Build-out Activity, (2) Transformer Replacement Program Activity, and the (3) Grid Stabilization Activity.
