Member-States of the ECOWAS Community represent a thriving region of the world, with a population of approximately 366 million and a rich human and topographical diversity. From the coastline to the mountain peaks of Fouta Djallon, across the Sahara and the mangroves of the Niger Delta, ECOWAS is home to diverse families, communities, and nations. Over the last decade, the region has witnessed significant progress in lifting the standard of living for millions. However, along with the richness of natural resources, human capital and great opportunity, there are also challenges to contend with such as natural disasters, pandemics, ethno-sectarian tensions, and security threats caused by extremism and terrorism. Global developments and changes such as advances in technology, human migration and climate change, have added new levels of complexity,

  • 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.

Published online at www.m.elewa.org on 30 th March 2013. 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.

  • United Nations Development Assistance Framework for the Immediate Socio-Economic Response to COVID-19: Contextualization in Senegal
    United Nations development assistance framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19: Contextualization in Senegal October 2020 UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FRAMEWORK FOR THE IMMEDIATE SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Preface In recent years, Senegal has recorded strong economic growth and significant progress in social development through the implementation of the Senegal Emergent Plan (PSE). Unfortunately, like other countries in the world and as various studies have shown, the impact of COVID-19 threatens to undermine the progress made by the country and in particular the achievement of the Goals set out in Agendas 2030 and Agenda 2063. The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a health crisis. It is also an economic, social, humanitarian, security and human rights crisis that affects us as individuals, families, communities and societies. To stem it, the Government of Senegal, under the leadership of President Macky SALL, has set up an Economic and Social Resilience Program (PRES) for very short-term actions. The magnitude of the shock resulting from this pandemic has necessitated the reorganization of development interventions through the Adjusted and Accelerated Priority Action Plan (PAP 2A) which not only provides a strengthened response to this shock, but also lays the foundations for a strong economic recovery that should keep the country on the initially adopted path of emergence. This United Nations Framework for Socio-Economic Response in Senegal is the collective contribution of the United Nations in Senegal in response to the socio-economic impact of COVID-19. The framework will put into practice the March 2020 report of the UN Secretary General “Shared responsibility, global solidarity: Responding to the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19”.
