This is an email for you, please DO NOT FORWARD= Sorry about formatting, AOL not very good at it. The son of the pres has=a master's in "financial engineering" and would likely find this interestrng given that he could lead W Africa. Small dollars compared to the size=of the need, but certainly a step forward. Your friend does not like the=mayor of Dakar so this could be tough if we only limited it to Dakar. My=plan would be to see how ECOWAS tolerates this and then push deeper into=Senegal, maybe Mali. Pikine and Saint Louis are other Senegal cities that=might be do-able. And please don't make some rude comment about my skill=set. This is my job and I am doing my best.

The city has not issued bonds related to anything that touches the po=r. Ocean rights, fishing, roads, airport etc. I can ask our 4 reviewing teams to look again but from the list bill=gave us, we see nothing pro-poor.

The big thing he wants is something around sanitation since it is ver= difficult to actualize otherwise since the beneficiaries largely can't=pay for it.

In some cities I ma able to use returns from the carbon finance with=solid waste to cross-subsidize the sanitation costs but i don't really wa=t to start up carbon stuff in senegal. too hard.

We have a team traveling with me and the mayor is really knowledgeabl= too. The city financial team knows their stuff.
