Main Points
The Senegalese cooperative registry currently faces significant institutional fragmentation, according to a recent analysis. Although the cooperative society is defined as a unique legal category under the OHADA Uniform Act on the Law of Cooperative Societies, it lacks a centralized, unified registry in practice.
The study highlights that the oversight of these entities is currently divided among multiple government sectors. Three competing sets of regulations are reportedly vying for authority over the management of cooperative records, creating an environment where the registry lacks a single institutional home.
This administrative overlap involves various government departments, including those responsible for agriculture, microfinance, social and solidarity economy, and finance. The lack of a consolidated registry system is identified as a primary concern for the legal and operational stability of cooperative societies operating within Senegal.
