Plan Diomaye pour la Casamance : Avec 46 % de réalisations, le comité de pilotage se dit satisfait, mais...
At a meeting to evaluate and monitor the implementation of the Diomaye Plan for Casamance for the third and fourth quarters of 2025, the steering committee, under the leadership of the Governor of Ziguinchor, revealed an implementation rate of 46%. This is a satisfactory result for Mor Talla Tine, who noted a 13-point increase compared to the last evaluation.
"In accordance with the missions entrusted to the steering committee of the Diomaye Plan for Casamance, we met to take stock of the achievements that have been made during the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2025. After assessing the results, we can say that we are satisfied, because we are now at an execution rate of 46%, which is a jump of 13 points compared to the results obtained during the last follow-up meeting of the plan," the governor emphasized.
In this context, a large-scale campaign to register the civil status of former MFDC combatants is underway, both as a form of redress and to facilitate their socioeconomic reintegration. Civil status registration has long been a concern for stakeholders.
Returning to these advances, Mor Talla Tine indicated that in the department of Oussouye more than 3,000 birth certificates have been prepared with the support of the judicial authorities, thanks to the organization of mobile court hearings.
"This is a concern that has long been raised by stakeholders in the region. Fortunately, within the framework of the Diomaye Plan for Casamance, significant progress has been made with the collaboration of the justice sector. As we speak, mobile court hearings are held regularly and free of charge. People who have had difficulty accessing civil status documents take advantage of these mobile hearings to register. For example, for the year 2025, in the department of Oussouye, as of November 18, 2025, approximately 3,700 judgments have been issued, primarily birth certificates," according to the head of the regional executive.
More challenges to overcome
However, "many challenges remain. This is why the committee strongly advocated for this plan to be extended and expanded to 2026 and 2027. Especially since we still have villages waiting for their return. And speaking of these challenges, the one that came up most often relates to the need to accelerate the demining process so that lands suspected of being contaminated can be cleared of explosive devices, but above all, make them available to these returning populations so that they can carry out income-generating activities," the governor recalls.
Mor Talla Tine was, however, pleased with the acquisition of two dam-clearing machines to enhance performance in the context of mine clearance.
However, he noted some difficulties related to the collaboration between CNAMS and the operators.
The CNAMS: an absence that raises questions
The supervisor of the Diomaye Plan steering committee for Casamance noted with regret the absence of the CNAMS (National Council for Mine Action) at the meeting, arguing that its presence would have allowed for the identification of the real difficulties encountered in the demining efforts.
The issue of opening up access to several localities in the region was raised again. Participants emphasized the isolation of certain localities, which hinders the return of displaced persons, such as Santhiaba Manjack and Madiédiame.
To this end, the committee advocated for increased state investment in the development of mobility infrastructure to enable these populations not only to return more easily to their homelands, but also to move around in their preferred area.
Strengthening basic social infrastructure such as schools, health posts, and water points are also challenges that stakeholders hope will be resolved soon.
