AMCHAM members had the honor and pleasure of meeting His Excellency, Mr. Mushingi, Ambassador of the United States for Senegal and Guinea Bissau. It was an opportunity for him to discuss the major change in US funding for development projects resulting in the creation of a structure called the US International Development Finance Corporation (USIDFC). This US government agency could spend up to $ 60 billion in support of private investment in developing countries.

The Ambassador of the United States in Dakar, Tulinabo Mushingi, and the President of the American Chamber of Commerce Mahi Kane met this April 24, 2020 with the Minister of Economy, Planning and Cooperation, Amadou Hott, for the presentation support, in cash and in kind for a total amount of FCFA 396,043,805, offered by the American Chamber of Commerce in Senegal (AmCham) and other American companies operating in the country. Minister Hott, on behalf of the Government of Senegal, thanked AmCham and the various corporate donors.

Since the recent discoveries of hydrocarbon deposits, oil and gas have become an unavoidable subject in Senegal. Come to the King Fahd Palace on March 18 to discuss their energy future with our experts, as part of the 6th edition of USA Week.

Given recent and continuing developments surrounding COVID-19, both in Senegal and abroad, we have decided it is prudent to postpone our March 17-19 USA Week event. This is a difficult decision, taken in consultation with the U.S. Embassy and public health experts. Ultimately, we must prioritize the protection of health and safety, supporting the efforts of the Government of Senegal to combat the further spread of this disease. We look forward to rescheduling the event later this year.
