Everything you need to know to work in Dakar

Working in Dakar

Dakar is the westernmost city of mainland Africa and has been Senegal's capital since 1960. The wider Dakar metropolitan area is home to an estimated 3.7 million people, accounting for more than one-fifth of the population, while the city of Dakar is made of 19 districts with downtown Plateau the heart and soul of Dakar's economic activities.

Starting a business in Senegal

With its growing economy, openness to foreign investment and political stability, Senegal is a popular destination to set up a company in West Africa. However, like in all countries, there are lots of different ways of doing this, and ultimately it will depend on the structure and nature of your business, as well as your nationality (not all legal company structures are open to foreigners).

Working in Senegal

Senegal has long been a West African destination of choice for expats looking to live and work. Foreign professionals from around the world choose to work in Senegal, mainly in the big cities and coastal resorts. Thanks to the country's diverse, developing economy, Senegal offers many different career prospects, which attract foreign professionals from around the world.

Working in Ziguinchor

Ziguinchor is the capital of Casamance, the southern Senegalese region wedged between The Gambia to the north and Guinea-Bissau to the south. Culturally, ethnically and geographically, Casamance (including Ziguinchor) is a world away from the rest of Senegal. Lying in the sub-tropics, Ziguinchor experiences warmer and wetter weather, while Basse-Casamance, where Ziguinchor is located, is the only Christian majority region in the country.

Working in Thiès

Thiès is the name of the region outside of Dakar with its largest city, also called Thiès, the third-largest urban centre in Senegal with an estimated 765,000 people. Located 70km from Dakar and 30km from the new Blaise Diagne International Airport, Thiès is a well-connected city that is known as the ‘junction' of Senegal because of its road links to Saint-Louis, Touba (via a new motorway), Kaolack, Tambacounda and Mali. As a result, Thiès is a very dynamic city, offering many career opportunities to foreigners wishing to settle there, especially those involved with transporting goods across the country.

Working in Saint-Louis

The former capital of Senegal and French West Africa, Saint-Louis was founded by the French in 1659. Located on an island in the Senegal River estuary, its unique location enabled ships from the Atlantic to travel to its ports and made it one of the principal West African trading hubs in the 17th-20th centuries.
