Senegal launches two platforms to promote e-commerce

In an initiative to promote e-commerce and to overcome pertinent trust and payment challenges, the Senegalese Ministry of Trade and Small and Medium Enterprises kicked off two e-commerce platforms (‘e-commercesenegal.sn’ and ‘e-KomKom’) as an institutional support system to the different stakeholders involved. E-commercesenegal.sn is a referencing and qualification platform that allows e-commerce operators to promote their services, while  the e-KomKom platform is a merchant marketplace that allows companies to establish their online shopping spaces.
