A project commencement ceremony took place on December 5, 2007. Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium in Dakar was completed and handed over to the Senegalese authorities on April 7, 2009.

Staff comments

The Chinese project title is 中国援塞11座地区体育场维修项目 or 中国援塞体育场维修项目 or 姆布尔和法蒂克体育场看台拆除重建项目 or 中国援塞内加尔姆布尔和法蒂克体育场举 or 援塞济金绍尔体育场维修项目. AidData records the face value of the grant commitment as RMB 300 million since most large grant commitments from the Chinese Government are denominated in RMB. However, the Government of Senegal’s External Financing Management Platform (la Plateforme de Gestion des Financements Extérieurs du Sénégal, or PGFE) records the face value of the grant commitment as CFAF 23,128,780,726. PGFE also notes that the Chinese Government disbursed more grant funding (CFAF 31,528,688,304) for this project than it originally committed.
