Livelihood Zone Descriptions
Government of Senegal COMPREHENSIVE FOOD SECURITY AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS (CFSVA) Livelihood Zone Descriptions WFP/FAO/SE-CNSA/CSE/FEWS NET Introduction The WFP, FAO, CSE (Centre de Suivi Ecologique), SE/CNSA (Commissariat National à la Sécurité Alimentaire) and FEWS NET conducted a zoning exercise with the goal of defining zones with fairly homogenous livelihoods in order to better monitor vulnerability and early warning indicators. This exercise led to the development of a Livelihood Zone Map, showing zones within which people share broadly the same pattern of livelihood and means of subsistence. These zones are characterized by the following three factors, which influence household food consumption and are integral to analyzing vulnerability: 1) Geography – natural (topography, altitude, soil, climate, vegetation, waterways, etc.) and infrastructure (roads, railroads, telecommunications, etc.) 2) Production – agricultural, agro-pastoral, pastoral, and cash crop systems, based on local labor, hunter-gatherers, etc. 3) Market access/trade – ability to trade, sell goods and services, and find employment. Key factors include demand, the effectiveness of marketing systems, and the existence of basic infrastructure. Methodology The zoning exercise consisted of three important steps: 1) Document review and compilation of secondary data to constitute a working base and triangulate information 2) Consultations with national-level contacts to draft initial livelihood zone maps and descriptions 3) Consultations with contacts during workshops in each region to revise maps and descriptions. 1. Consolidating secondary data Work with national- and regional-level contacts was facilitated by a document review and compilation of secondary data on aspects of topography, production systems/land use, land and vegetation, and population density. -

Co-production of actionable climate infor West Africa mation between scientists and users has been advocated to increase its use in adaptation to climate change. Innovation Consequently, Weather and Climate Services (WCS) co-production models have been expanding, but there have Forecasts been few evaluations of their effects, and those that exist mostly focus on the end user. The empirical contri Outcomes Weather and Climate Services bution of this paper is an evidence based evaluation of the scaling of WSC co-production models and its enabling factors. The methodological contribution is a systemic and iterative evaluation method involving multiple analytical tools. The scaling of WCS in Senegal involved at least 161 actors and resulted in five axes of trans formation: 1) continuous improvement of WCS, 2) emergence and consolidation of WCS facilitators, 3) inclusion of WCS in action planning, 4) active mobilisation to sustain WCS scaling, and 5) empowerment of actors. -
SÉNÉGAL Rapport Spécial
SENEGAL Special Report August 31, 2015 Poor start to the agropastoral season in central and northern areas KEY MESSAGES This year, farmers are resorting to short-cycle varieties of cowpea and Souna millet crops more than usual as a strategy to limit the negative effects of the late start of the rains on crop production in order to ensure near-average crop yields. With the likely downsizing of the land area planted in groundnuts, Senegal’s main cash crop, household incomes between December and March will likely be below average. The poor pastoral conditions between February and June severely affected pastoral incomes, which have been well below-average as a result of the decline in animal production and livestock prices. The larger than usual numbers of animal deaths have adversely affected the livelihoods of pastoral households, limiting their food access on local markets. However, the recent recovery of pastures and replenishment of watering holes have helped improve the situation in many pastoral areas. Food assistance from the government and its humanitarian partners is easing poor households’ food insecurity. Humanitarian food and non-food assistance and cash transfer programs will limit the use of atypical coping strategies (ex. borrowing and reducing food and nonfood expenditures) by recipient households. An examination of food prices on domestic markets shows prices for locally grown millet still slightly above-average and prices for regular broken rice, the main foodstuff consumed by Senegalese households, at below-average levels. However, despite these prices, the below-average incomes of poor agropastoral households is preventing many households from adequating accessing these food items. -

DECRET N° 2009-13 Du 16 Janvier 2009 Fixant Le Nombre De Conseillers De La Ville Par Commune D’Arrondissement Dans Les Régions De Dakar Et Thiès
DECRET n° 2009-13 du 16 janvier 2009 fixant le nombre de conseillers de la ville par commune d’arrondissement dans les régions de Dakar et Thiès. [|RAPPORT DE PRESENTATION|] Les conseillers municipaux de la ville sont élus pour moitié au scrutin de liste proportionnelle à un tour sur listes complètes sans panachage ni vote préférentiel l’autre moitié étant composée de conseillers provenant des communes d’arrondissement. Conformément aux dispositions du Code électoral, chaque commune d’arrondissement dispose au minimum de deux sièges au conseil municipal de la ville dont celui du maire de la commune d’arrondissement qui est de droit conseiller municipal de la ville. Des sièges supplémentaires sont attribués par décret en fonction de la population de la commune d’arrondissement. Les sièges sont attribués aux conseillers municipaux d’arrondissement élus au scrutin majoritaire dans l’ordre de leur inscription sur la liste à concurrence du nombre de sièges dont dispose la commune d’arrondissement au conseil municipal de la Ville. Les calculs opérés révèlent une certaine homogénéité dans l’affectation des mandats de conseillers de la ville. C’est le cas notamment à Dakar et Pikine où le nombre assez élevé de communes d’arrondissement et la faible disparité démographique, entre elles, font que presque toutes les communes d’arrondissement vont se retrouver avec le strict minimum de conseillers à désigner. Par contre à Guédiawaye, Rufisque et Thiès, où le nombre de communes d’arrondissement est relativement plus faible, la distribution du nombre de conseillers devant siéger au conseil de la ville révèle des représentations assez fortes. -

ABSTRACT Objective: This work has examined the current state of woodlands in the groundnut basin to determine its importance Methodology and results: The floristic diversity of woodlands in the Groundnut Basin of was studied through ecological parameters. The woody flora contained 75 species with a predominance of three (3) families (Combretaceae, Mimosaceae and Caesalpiniaceae) represented by more than six (6) species. The statements from the four targeted rural communities indicated: 31 species for Ndiognick, 43 for Birkelane, 46 for Saly Escale and 48 for Ida mouride. The overall average density was 17 individuals/ha and varied depending on rural communities: 7 individuals/ha for Ndiognick, 9 individuals/ha for Birkelane, 18 individuals for Ida mouride and 39 individuals for Saly Escale. In Ndiognick and Birkelane rural communities, the cover was lower because they were less provided in species ( Cordyla pinnata, Combretum glutinosum, Piliostigma reticulatum and Adansonia digitata ) with summits higher than 5m 2/ha. -
An Integrated Development Strategy for the Apiculture Industry Between Senegal, the Gambia and Guinea Bissau?
AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR THE APICULTURE INDUSTRY BETWEEN SENEGAL, THE GAMBIA AND GUINEA BISSAU? ARTICULARLY FAVOURABLE CLIMATIC AND BOTANICAL CONDITIONS The Bissau Guinean sector in the restructuring process P Guinea Bissau has extraordinary potential for apiculture, especially Apiculture in Sénégambie méridionale (the Gambia, in the north east region (Gabu), with marshland inundated with Casamance, northern Guinea Bissau) relies on the planted mangroves covering an area of approximately favourable and homogeneous eco-geographic potential. 800,000 hectares, forest coverage of an estimated 1.5 million It is developing along a wide band comprising hectares and a population of which the majority earns their Casamance (Senegal) and inclusive of an area livelihood from agricultural activities and picked products. In 1987, between the southern axis which passes through the the Apiculture Association produced around 80,7083 kg of refined regions, from East to West, of Gabu, Oio and Cacheu honey as well as a little more than 10 tonnes of refined wax (Guinea Bissau) and a northern axis from east to west (ASTECAP – SNV). At the beginning of the 1990s, there were of the Gambia and the western border of the 22,352 traditional hives in the northern part and 93,464 in the Tambacounda Department (east Senegal) going back southern part of the country. up eastward towards the Kaffrine Department (Kolda region of Senegal). Despite economic liberalisation set in motion in 1986, continual politico-military crises since the beginning of the 1990s has led to a The Sudano-Guinean climate enables the development noteworthy reduction of the activity which resulted in an overt of tremendously diverse forestial growth, particularly decline in honey exports.
