AGETIP (Agence d’Exécution des Travaux d’Intérêt Public contre le sous-emploi) is the French acronym for a organization in Senegal that provides small-scale basic infrastructure (roads, water supply, sanitation, health centers, hospitals, schools etc.) for the benefit of the poor, while creating employment and promoting the local private sector. AGETIP was created in 1989 during an economic crisis by the Senegalese government with the support of donors, in particular the World Bank. It is not a public agency, but a private non-profit entity (Association à but non lucratif) that is financed entirely by fees for the services it provides, without receiving government or donor funds to cover its administrative expenses. Its general-director is appointed by a Board that includes both government and non-government representatives. The AGETIP's quality control procedures have been certified by the Bureau Veritas Certification. The donors that execute development projects through the AGETIP Senegal are the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Union, the French Development Agency, the ILO, UNICEF, KfW of Germany and the Canadian International Development Agency, among others.[1]
By 2008 the AGETIP model has been replicated in 17 other African countries using different names:
- NIGETIP-Niger
- GAMWORKS-Gambia
- FASO BAARA-Burkina Faso
- ASSETIP-Rwanda
- AMEXTIPE-Mauritania
- AGETUR/AGETIP -Benin
- AGETUR-Togo
- AGETIPE CAF- Central African Republic
- AGETIPE-Guinea
- AGETIPE-Mali
- AGETIPA-Madagascar
- AGETIER-Mali
- AGEOPPE-Guinea Bissau
- AGECABO-Cap Verde
- ADU-Mauritania
- ADETIP-Djibouti
- ABUTIP-Burundi [2]
The AGETIP model is similar to a Social Fund in some respects, but differs from most Social Funds since an AGETIP is not a public agency and is financially autonomous.
