Senegal’s Justice Minister, Me Moussa Sarr, says nearly 90% of commitments made with clerks’ unions have been fulfilled, according to remarks reported by Xibaaru. The regrading of clerks to the A2 hierarchical grade remains the main point of disagreement over the protocol signed on 7 August 2025 with SYTJUST and UNTJ.
The minister responsible for the Civil Service has agreed to regularise promotions, automatic or merit-based, up to 2026. Simulations have also assessed the salary impact of the regrading; Me Moussa Sarr said the lowest salary after reassessment would reach 200,000 CFA francs.
The progress update comes as the government has also reported that 99% of the protocol with education unions had been implemented, on 19 October 2026, in a review of the education protocol.
