Senegal’s National Lottery formalises 86 service provider roles for 2026, strengthening job security
LONASE strengthens workforce stability by regularising temporary roles, highlighting professional standards in lottery and betting operations.
Senegal.- Senegal’s National Lottery (LONASE) has formalised 86 service provider roles for 2026, part of its ongoing effort to strengthen professional standards and workforce stability.
LONASE said the move is part of the organisation’s five-year plan for the “resorption of precarious (unstable/temporary) jobs”, designed to improve job security and practices.
The plan focuses on reducing or eliminating temporary and uncertain roles by formalising them into stable, recognised positions, giving staff greater employment security. “This action translates a clear will to build a more equitable, responsible and future-oriented administration, where decent work and the dignity of agents are a priority,” said LONASE.
By regularising these 86 service provider roles, LONASE reinforces job security and strengthens the lottery system. LONASE, as Senegal’s national lottery operator, manages the country’s official lottery and regulated betting activities.
Its responsibilities include licencing and overseeing lottery service providers, managing ticket sales, coordinating outlets nationwide and ensuring compliance with national regulations. These activities form the operational backbone of Senegal’s lottery system and help maintain standards for the sector.
Upgrades and expansion
In addition to formalising staff roles, LONASE has been modernising its operations. In 2025, the authority partnered with Mauritius-based Lottotech to upgrade gaming technology and provide staff training, improving technical capacity and gaming products.
Earlier that year, it reorganised its leadership and appointed new executives to strengthen marketing, operations and nationwide sales networks.
The lottery authority has also expanded its regional presence, opening a new agency in Bignona to provide lottery services in previously underserved areas. These 86 temporary service provider roles are now formalised, giving staff recognised status and improved employment conditions.
