A stable and mature democracy, Senegal has seen sustained growth in its gross domestic product over the past decade and is set to graduate from the category of least developed country to that of lower-middle income in 2027. Despite this, the country has struggled to reduce inequality and substantially lift its rural poor out of poverty. Senegal is highly exposed to climate risks and remains dependent on international commodities to feed its population. Malnutrition is a significant public health concern, with certain indicators either stagnating or worsening, in particular as a result of recent multiple external crises that have led to unprecedented levels of inflation from 2020 onwards.
