Offices des Forages Ruraux (OFOR) Senegal: Engendering Industries Partner Profile

The program supports Offices des Forages Ruraux (OFOR) to increase opportunities for women by introducing gender equality initiatives at each phase of the employee lifecycle. A complex web of contributing factors prevents women in Senegal from joining the formal workforce, particularly the male-dominated water sector. This industry represents a potential economic growth area in Senegal, and the exclusion of women from opportunities in this market deepens the country’s gender equality divide.
