Building the Africa We Want: NEPAD Turns 20
An impressive accomplishment of NEPAD has been the strengthening of partnerships with the rest of the world. NEPAD has engaged the G20, G8, OECD, FOCAC, TICAD and the UN system on new development cooperation and aid architecture for Africa.
Over its 20 years, NEPAD has promoted programmes in areas such as agriculture, health, education and training, the environment, information and communication technology and infrastructure development,” H.E Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa and Chairperson of the African Union stated at the NEPAD symposium.

Serigne Mboup, Director General of the Société Africaine de Raffinage (SAR), spoke to Africa Oil & Power about how the oldest refinery in West Africa has put together an ambitious extension plan to meet local demand requirements. Senegal will start producing crude oil from its offshore Sangomar field in 2023.
What modernizations and works have been carried out on the SAR site since 2018?
The primary objective of the refinery’s development is to increase its gasoil and liquefied petroleum gas processing capacity by 15% to 20%, while also lifting technical constraints which limit the performance of production equipment. In addition, in anticipation of changes in product specifications, it is necessary for the refinery to be able to adapt to these future developments.
