Madar (Dakar) - Senegal's Ministry of African Integration, Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad signed a partnership agreement on Friday, 13 November 2026, with the insurer NSIA Vie Assurances to help repatriate the remains of Senegalese citizens who die abroad, according to a ministry statement released on Saturday and reported by the state daily Le Soleil.
The initiative is part of the government's policy of continuously improving the assistance it provides to Senegalese in the diaspora, including in the event of death, the statement said.
Named "Sutura Diaspora", the repatriation insurance offer provides "financial and logistical support as well as legal assistance to complete the required procedures and formalities, both in the country where the death occurred and in Senegal", as well as "financial assistance to the bereaved family", the document said.
The ministry stressed that the partnership is open to all insurance providers registered under Senegalese law that meet the conditions set out in the specifications, according to the same source.
