SENEGAL: ISSUES FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Task Order under the Biodiversity & Sustainable Forestry IQC (BIOFOR) USAID Contract Number: LAG-I-01-99-00014-00 Task Order 804 Volume Two Report Submitted to: USAID/Senegal Submitted by: Chemonics International Inc. Pact, Inc. November 2000 Acknowledgements This prospective study is a reflection on the effect of technical assistance programs on Senegal’s agriculture and natural resources. It is part two of a two-part study requested by the USAID mission in Senegal, under Contract Number LAG-I-00-99-00014-00, Task Order number 804. This presentation is based on a review of documents and a series of interviews with key informants and practitioners, both past and present, in Dakar and in the field. A ten-day field visit to former and present project sites in the Fleuve, Ferlo, Dior, Saloum, Tambacounda, and Kolda zones of the country enabled the study team to see first-hand the current state of Senegal’s resource base. The study team received extraordinarily helpful and well-informed counsel and input from USAID/Senegal staff, and especially the Technical and Contract Working Group for Task Order 804. We extend our genuine thanks to each of the members of that group for their guidance: François Faye, coordinator of the Group and Agriculture/Natural Resources Management Specialist, SO2; Abdoulaye Barro, Strategy Objective Specialist, SO2; Abdrahmane Diallo, Sociologist, Analysis, Monitoring and Evaluation branch; Moribodjan Keita, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, SO2; Marie Claire Sow, Acquisition Specialist, SO2; and, Alpha Wade, Data Monitor, Analysis, Monitoring and Evaluation branch.
