Progress reported
26 February 2021 — G/TFA/N/SEN/4  
In 2011, Senegal established a privileged partners programme (PPP) inspired by Pillar 2 of the World Customs Organization Framework of Standards.
During the needs assessment for Senegal, it was noted that there was a need to bring the PPP further into line with the standards on authorized economic operators (AEOs). To achieve this final objective, the project made it possible to develop:
• a draft Order;
• an AEO guide;
• a procedural manual;
• a methodological AEO audit guide;
• an application for authorization (form);
• a self-assessment form; and
• a series of practical training sessions for front-line officers and the private sector for the operationalization of the AEO programme.
