History

edit

The National School of Administration of Senegal has a long history. Its origins are rooted in the colonial history of Senegal, France, and French West Africa (AOF). It was named the National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM) from 1975 to 1995.

Organization

edit

The current director-general is Mouhamadou Lamine Diallo, a civil administrator of exceptional class.

ENA has two training cycles:

  • A training cycle for A1 hierarchy officials (Cycle A), which trains the following corps of officials:
 * Civil Administrators
 * Treasury Inspectors
 * Tax and Property Inspectors
 * Foreign Affairs Advisors
 * Customs Inspectors
 * Labor and Social Security Inspectors
 * Economic Investigation Commissioners

Students in Cycle A are recruited from graduates holding at least a master's degree for the direct competition and from A or B hierarchy officials with 5 years of public service experience for the professional competition.

  • A training cycle for B2 hierarchy officials (Cycle B), which trains the following corps of officials:
 * Administration Secretaries
 * Treasury Controllers
 * Tax and Property Controllers
 * Chancellors
 * Labor and Social Security Controllers
 * Economic Investigation Controllers

Students in Cycle B are recruited from graduates holding at least a baccalaureate for the direct competition and from B or C hierarchy officials.

Unlike other sections, the customs section does not train customs controllers, who are trained at the customs school.

The entrance exam to this school is known for being very selective. In 2011, nearly 18,000 candidates (all cycles and sections combined) applied for 147 open positions.[1] The school's popularity is likely due to the fact that it is the only training school that guarantees employment to its graduates, opening doors to high-level administration in Senegal.

ENA has seven sections:

  • Labor and Social Security
  • Diplomacy
  • Customs
  • Treasury
  • Tax and Property
  • Economic Investigations
  • General Administration/Central and Territorial Administration

Since 2002, ENA has published the Bulletin de liaison de l'École nationale d'administration.
