EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Context and objectives Several experiences in Senegal and elsewhere have shown that learning in a language that children master well when they start school enables them to understand better and facilitates their knowledge acquisition. Based on this understanding, the Government of Senegal has decided to invest in the teaching of early grade reading through adopting a bilingual approach using national languages, with assistance from USAID through the program Lecture Pour Tous (2016-2021). The Lecture Pour Tous program supports early grade reading instruction in Wolof, Seerer and Pulaar in what will be a total of 6 regions with direct technical and financial assistance and an additional seventh region with technical assistance. For the first cohort of classes that started in the school year 2017/2018, one of the greatest challenges was to choose the appropriate national language of instruction for Grade 1 reading in each of the 1,115 schools covered by the Lecture Pour Tous program in the first year. To obtain information about the languages spoken in school by students and teachers, and to get the community involved in choosing the language of instruction, the program, working closely with the MEN, carried out a language mapping study. The study was conducted in three regions, Kaolack, Kaffrine and Fatick, to determine which of the three national languages to choose for each of the schools in the first cohort who will be included in the program for the 2017/2018 school year. Matam was not visited because the program had not yet launched in this region at the time of the study and we did not yet have authorization to undertake this research there in time for the 2017/2018 school year. For this first exercise, the field research focused only on areas with relative linguistic variety, which covered 427 of the 1115 schools of the first Lecture Pour Tous cohort. According to USAID’s contract for Lecture Pour Tous, the purpose of the mapping exercise was to “determine the languages and the majority language spoken by both teachers and students at the school level in the target regions… [and that] the language of instruction to be used [in schools was to be] decided on a community by community basis by community members” (Senegal All Children Reading contract, Section C.1.3.2). On the other hand, the contract also states that “mapping the ‘language in common’ of students and teachers” should also be used “to enable the MOE to determine the language that should be used for early grade reading instruction in each of its schools” (contract Section C.3.2.1). These mandates raise two critical issues. The first: whether the language in common between student and a given teacher posted at that school at a given point of time should drive the final decision on the national language of instruction (LOI) for a school-community, as opposed to the majority language shared by the early grade students themselves. In the process of trying to make decisions on the LOI for each targeted school this year, most stakeholders were driven by determining the majority language for students. The MEN (at the level of the IEF and school directors) then worked to assign teachers who spoke that majority language to the Grade 1 classrooms for the 2017/2018 school year. Second: the question of who actually makes the final decision – whether the community or the MEN in Lecture Pour Tous - Report on Language Mapping – February 2018 5 some authority (whether in the person of the school director or IEF) – was also a critical issue. This year, the decisions in nearly all cases came down to the MEN. The Lecture Pour Tous program has subsequently flagged this question as a priority policy issue for the coming year, with the goal of helping the MEN decide what will be the information-gathering (mapping) and decision-making process for determining the LOI for early grade reading in time to have clarity on this well in advance of the 2018/2019 school year. The data set gathered through the language mapping exercise adds to two other sources of information used to determine or confirm the national language selected for early grade reading in the first cohort of Lecture Pour Tous schools. The first stems from efforts to determine a) the national languages that would be used for early grade reading instruction as was needed to establish the sampling frame for the baseline early grade

While in other countries fundamentalists may prohibit music, it is an integral part of the religious practice in Sufism. Sufism is a form of Islam practiced by the majority of the population of Senegal, where 95% of the country’s inhabitants are Muslim Based on the teachings of religious leader Amadou Bamba, who lived from the mid 19th century to the early 20th, Sufism preaches pacifism and the goal of attaining unity with God According to analysts of international politics, Sufism’s pacifist tradition is a factor that has helped Senegal avoid becoming a theatre of Islamist terror attacks Sufism also teaches tolerance. The role of women is valued, so much so that within a confraternity it is possible for a woman to become a spiritual leader, with the title of Muqaddam Sufism is not without its critics, who in the past have accused the Marabouts of taking advantage of their followers and of mafia-like practices, in addition to being responsible for the backwardness of the Senegalese economy In the courtyard of Cheikh Abdou Karim Mbacké’s palace, many expensive cars are parked. They are said to be gifts of his followers, among whom there are many rich Senegalese businessmen who live abroad. The Marabouts rank among the most influential men in Senegal: their followers see the wealth of thei religious leaders as a proof of their power and of their proximity to God.

    Information bulletin Africa: Floods This bulletin is issued for information only and reflects the current situation and details available at this time. It provides overview of the floods situation and key action taken by National Red Cross/ Red Crescent Societies with the support of IFRC and RC/RC Movement partners. The multi-country floods’ situation is rapidly evolving as it is published. The information would be updated as per the changing context. Background and the Red Cross and Red Crescent action While some countries in Africa are experiencing drought, others are facing devastating floods. The scale and scope of disaster risk, underlying vulnerabilities and complex socio-political and economic factors are unparalleled. Climate change and environmental degradation are exacerbating risk many times over. Recent forecasts suggest the flooding will continue to worsen over the coming weeks, likely to impact over one million people before this crisis is over. In most of the affected countries, the flooding is severe. Affected countries include: (1) Cameroon, (2) Central African Republic, (3) Côte d'Ivoire, (4) Ghana, (5) Kenya, (6) Mali (7) Mauritania, (8) Niger, (9) Nigeria, (10) Senegal (11) Sierra Leone, (12) South Sudan. In addition, six other countries have reported flooding situations, namely: Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, DRC, Tanzania and Sudan. The Movement has responded to 12 flood situations with Disaster Emergency Relief Fund (DREF) or Emergency Appeals. Additional DREFs and new Emergency Appeals are likely, particularly in South Sudan and Central African Republic. The active floods have affected over 421,000, of which 85,800 are, or will be, assisted by Movement DREF or Emergency Appeals.

    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.

It has been projected that 800,000 people in Mauritania, will need humanitarian assistance in 2012. In addition to the drought situation, the ongoing armed conflict in Northern Mali has forced thousands of Malians to cross the border to Mauritania. The drought and conflict have negatively impacted the entire Sahel Region resulting to hunger, malnutrition, displacement of people, destruction of local economies/livelihoods, pressure on limited existing food and water resources, increase of insecurity and violence. ACT member, LWF/DWS will respond to the drought situation in Mauritania, Fatick region of Senegal and provide assistance to the Malian refugees in Mauritania by working through local partners. The local partners include: ARDM, AU SECOURS and BSF in Mauritania, and Lutheran Church in Senegal (ELS) in Senegal’s Fatick region. This appeal will supplement the Mauritania government’s emergency response plan called ‘’EMEL’’ (hope). The project target is 8,653 households including: 4,206 drought affected households from Mauritania, 1,447 drought affected Households in Senegal and 3,000 Malian Refugees’ Households.
