A dive that gave me the opportunity to explore Senegal, that lead me to a feast of eating and drinking (in scientific circles referred to as the “Global Workshop on Digital Soil Mapping”) in Montpellier, France and that finally resulted in the report you are now looking at. A dive I do not regret to have made. During the past year many people got involved in this project. I would like to use this opportunity to thank them. I will start with my supervisors Sytze de Bruin, Gerard Heuvelink and Jetse Stoorvogel. Thank you very much for your help, advice, comments and dedication throughout the year and for the critical review of the draft report. Your efforts were greatly appreciated. In Senegal I could not do without the support of Bocar Diagana and Adrien Mankor of ISRA Dakar. Thank you very much for all arrangements you made to facilitate the fieldwork and for making this toubab feel a bit home. You were the solid base of the success of the fieldwork. Another person who I owe my deepest thanks to is Abibou Niang of ISRA St Louis and his family. Abibou, thank you for your incredible hospitality during my stay in St. Louis, for the help you continuously offered and for all the work you did for me, including the analysis of 187 soil samples. For the fieldwork I owe my thanks to my excellent field guide, moto-driver and assistant Mbaye Diaw, to the people of the villages in the Nioro du Rip area who gave us directions time and time again and shared their food and water with us and to the ISRA enumerators in Nioro du Rip for their company. Furthermore I would like to thank the driver Cheikh Mbaye and the director of ISRA Bambey Ousmane Ndoye and all other people of the staff of the ISRA departments in Dakar, St Louis and Bambey who assisted me in one way or another. Merci beaucoup! Of the staff of the Centre for Geo-Information of Wageningen University I would like to thank Harm Bartholomeus, Gerrit Epema, Michael Schaepman and John Stuiver for their technical and scientifical help and advice. The advice of Dick Brus concerning soil sampling strategy and the validation procedure was greatly appreciated. This thesis marks the end of a seven year period as a student at Wageningen University. Last but not least I would like to thank my family and friends for their interest and support. Even Maarten who kept me on the couch too long in the mornings by seducing me with fresh coffee (… ‘you can drink one more cup’….). And Hans and Bram who kept me too often around the kitchen table to battle for Middle Earth while I had to be behind my computer. I am especially greatful to my girlfriend Els for her support and her patience during the many months I was exploring the far corners of this planet the past years. And above all I owe my deepest thanks to my parents. Not only for the approximately 3000 kilometers they drove the past seven years to pick me up and bring me to the train station but for their unconditional support in every sense during this period of my life.

These relationships are used in quantitative models that predict soil properties at unvisited locations. This study applied digital soil mapping to meet quantitative soil data requirements in the Nioro du Rip area, Senegal. It aimed to integrate qualitative soil-landscape and environmental process knowledge in a catenary context with quantitative spatial prediction methods and to validate the results by statistical inference with an independent data set. The soil properties of interest were soil organic carbon and the fine fraction of the soil texture. A qualitative conceptual model of soil-landscape processes and soil spatial distribution was defined and translated into prediction models that use simple prediction rules. Four models were developed on basis of the available input data: two models for each soil property. These two models had a different level of detail. Environmental input data were derived from a digital elevation model and a Landsat 7 ETM+ image. The models were calibrated with a small soil data set. Validation showed that the model results were poor. All results were biased and the mean squared prediction errors were large. The main reason for the poor model performance was the lack of sufficient soil and environmental data to define the conceptual model and to calibrate the corresponding quantitative model. This resulted in models that were largely based on expert judgment and that did not have a solid empirical support. The insights gained and validation data collected in this study create a basis for more accurate quantitative soil property mapping in the Nioro du Rip area. The elaborate soil data set can, together with additional (high resolution) environmental data, result in a better understanding of the soil spatial distribution with which spatial prediction can be improved. Keywords: quantitative models, catena, Landsat, DEM, soil organic carbon, soil texture, West Africa. 7 8 1. Introduction 1.1 Digital Soil Mapping 1.1.1 Background Increasing population pressure, (human-induced) land degradation, pollution and climatic change are putting more and more pressure on our natural resources.

Tanner, P.D. Dr. P. Vounatsou, and Prof. Dr. A. Biggeri. Basel, den 10 December 2013 Prof. Dr. J¨orgSchibler Dekan Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house. (Henri Poincar´e) iv Summary Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasitic protozoans of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted to humans via the bites of infected female Anopheles mos- quitoes. Although progress has been seen in the last decade in the fight against the disease, malaria remains one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in large areas of the developing world, especially sub-Saharan Africa. The main victims are children under five years of age. The observed reductions are going hand in hand with impressive increases in international funding for malaria prevention, control, and elimination, which have led to tremendous expansion in implementing national malaria control programs (NMCPs). Common interventions include indoor residual spraying (IRS), the use of insecticide treated nets (ITN) and environmental measures such as larval control. Specific targets have been set during the last decade. The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 6 aims to halve malaria incidence by 2015 as compared to 1990 and to achieve universal ITN coverage and treatment with appropriate antimalarial drugs.

In this paper, we present spatially explicit parasitaemia risk estimates and number of infected children below 5 years. Geostatistical Zero-Inflated Binomial models (ZIB) were developed to take into account the large number of zero-prevalence survey locations (70%) in the data. Bayesian variable selection methods were incorporated within a geostatistical framework in order to choose the best set of environmental and climatic covariates associated with the parasitaemia risk. Model validation confirmed that the ZIB model had a better predictive ability than the standard Binomial analogue. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods were used for inference. Several insecticide treated nets (ITN) coverage indicators were calculated to assess the effectiveness of interventions.

  • Senegal Mapping the Poor in Senegal : Technical Report
    REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL MINISTERE DE L’ECONOMIE, DES FINANCES ET DU PLAN AGENCE NATIONALE DE LA STATISTIQUE ET DE LA DEMOGRAPHIE (A.N.S.D.) SENEGAL MAPPING THE POOR IN SENEGAL : TECHNICAL REPORT 2016 MAPPING THE POOR IN SENEGAL: TECHNICAL REPORT DRAFT VERSION 1. Introduction Senegal has been successful on many fronts such as social stability and democratic development; its record of economic growth and poverty reduction however has been one of mixed results. The recently completed poverty assessment in Senegal (World Bank, 2015b) shows that national poverty rates fell by 6.9 percentage points between 2001/02 and 2005/06, but subsequent progress diminished to a mere 1.6 percentage point decline between 2005/06 and 2011, from 55.2 percent in 2001 to 48.3 percent in 2005/06 to 46.7 percent in 2011. In addition, large regional disparities across the regions within Senegal exist with poverty rates decreasing from North to South (with the notable exception of Dakar). The spatial pattern of poverty in Senegal can be explained by factors such as the lack of market access and connectivity in the more isolated regions to the East and South. Inequality remains at a moderately low level on a national basis but about two-thirds of overall inequality in Senegal is due to within-region inequality and between-region inequality as a share of total inequality has been on the rise during the 2000s. As a Sahelian country, Senegal faces a critical constraint, inadequate and unreliable rainfall, which limits the opportunities in the rural economy where the majority of the population still lives to differing extents across the regions.
