Sidi Moro Sanneh (born 2 December 1947)[1] is a Gambian economist, politician and diplomat and is currently a resident of the United States.
From MEPID, he was seconded for three years to the Ministry of Agriculture to return the scandal-ridden Rural Development Project (RDP) to credibility.
In January 1992, he left government service to work as an Executive Director of the African Development Bank Group in Abidjan.
He left the Bank in June 2001 when he became a senior advisor on Resource Mobilisation with the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Regional Bureau for Africa.
He took this role on in November 2005, with concurrent accreditation for Burkina Faso and Mali, and presented his credentials to the Senegalese government in January 2006.
In August 2006, the US Embassy in Dakar requested authorization for Sanneh and his family to be taken in under the US Refugee Resettlement Program, writing that they considered "their lives to be in immediate danger".
