Senegal’s National Lottery signs partnership to support urban environment initiatives
LONASE agreement with government agency highlights lottery’s role in public programmes in the country.
Senegal.- Senegal’s National Lottery (LONASE) has signed a partnership with the General Directorate for Living Environment (DGCV) aimed at supporting environmental and urban improvement initiatives.
The agreement was signed on April 7 in Dakar and brings together the state lottery operator and the government agency responsible for sanitation policies, urban cleanliness and improving public living environments across Senegal.
The partnership forms part of efforts to support initiatives linked to environmental management and the upkeep of public spaces in urban areas. The DGCV oversees programmes focused on hygiene, environmental protection and maintaining cleaner living environments in cities and communities.
Officials highlighted the environmental focus of the collaboration during the ceremony. “The partnership is moving forward to support the ‘Zero Waste’ programme,” officials said during the signing, referring to government initiatives aimed at improving urban cleanliness and environmental management.
The agreement also reflects the broader role played by state lottery operators in contributing to national development initiatives. Across many African markets, lottery institutions support social programmes alongside their gaming activities.
Through partnerships such as this, LONASE continues to position its operations within wider public initiatives aimed at improving community wellbeing and supporting government development priorities.
