SENEGAL NO ALERT Monthly Food Security Update WATCH APRIL 2006 WARNING EMERGENCY ALERT LEVEL: SENEGAL NO ALERT Monthly Food Security Update WATCH WARNING APRIL 2006 EMERGENCY Summary and implications The month of April signals the beginning of the lean period throughout most of the northern part of the country and with it a cyclical deterioration in the living conditions of poor and middle-income households. The combined effects of insufficient family food reserves (depending on the type of household and region in question), and high grain prices are forcing poor and middle-income households to search for seasonal employment in urban areas and sell straw and firewood. Seasonal calendar Current Hazard Summary Supplies of locally grown grain crops are still low and, in some cases, negligible. Prevailing market prices for local grain crops are relatively high (120-150 CFAF/kg) and prices for in- shell groundnuts are relatively low (120-130 CFAF/kg) compared with the official price (150 CFAF/kg). Livestock-raising areas are beginning to report poor pasture and water availability. Food security conditions A joint mission organized by FEWS NET, the WFP and the Mauritanian and Senegalese Food Security Commissions toured the country’s Groundnut Basin and the Senegal River Valley area on both sides of the river over the period from April 6th through April 19th to monitor developments in the food security situation and the status of cross-border trade. Varying sources present different aspects of the food security situation in Senegal’s Groundnut Basin. Findings from the heads of comprehensive rural development centers (CERP) in a number of districts in the Kaolack region (Ndoffane, Paoskoto), as well as interested stakeholders (farmers, traders) interviewed in rural marketplaces visited by the mission (Diakhao, Porokhane, Passy, Gossas), and FEWS NET research present the situation as follows: Supplies are low and, in some cases, negligible in the case of certain crops (sorghum, maize), while supplies of other crops (souna millet, groundnuts) are fair at best. Prevailing prices for local grain crops are relatively high « 120-150 CFAF/kg » and prices for in-shell groundnuts are relatively low « 120-130 CFAF/kg » compared with the official price (150 CFAF/kg). Trade between the Groundnut Basin and large cities (millet, groundnuts) and between crop-producing areas within the Groundnut Basin (millet, maize, groundnuts, livestock) is flowing relatively smoothly. There is less trade between the Groundnut Basin and northern Senegal and trade volumes are trending downwards.

The late start in the start-up of the groundnut season and small watermelon harvests, which serve as a source of household income, prompted a massive premature draw-down of millet reserves, with households counting on the sale of groundnut crops to rebuild them in due course. However, the long wait, the risk of a depreciation in the value of groundnut crops and more urgent family needs, such as social and religious events, forced households to dispose of their groundnut crops on the black market at distress prices. The market is beginning to become tight and the looming lean period could be a difficult one for low or middle-income farm families. Paradoxically, supplies at livestock markets are rather plentiful and, yet, livestock prices are still medium to high. The most obvious explanation for this anomaly is the feast celebrating the birth of the Prophet Mohammed, but a more plausible explanation points to strategizing on the part of livestock producers to make up for losses engendered by the poor groundnut marketing season. Only small areas have been planted in with flood-recession crops in the Ile à Morphil area of the Senegal River Valley. Worse yet, sorghum crops were attacked in two waves: ¾ crop predators destroyed young shoots during the planting stage, hampering crop growth and development from the beginning; ¾ grain-eating birds attacked crops during the seeding and maturation stages, permanently damaging ensuing harvests. As a result, sorghum harvests throughout the area were poor and, in some cases, nil. In contrast, there were good harvests of off-season okra, sweet potato, onion and tomato crops. However, given the remoteness of this area, the marketing of these crops is not an especially lucrative undertaking and they are being sold at rock-bottom prices. Okra, for example, is selling for 75 - 100 CFAF/kg, with sweet potatoes going for between 50 and 100 CFAF/kg. The main type of grain consumed by residents in this area is imported broken rice, which sells for 225 CFAF/kg. Supplies of locally grown grain (millet, sorghum and maize) in the corridor between Ross Béthio (in the Saint- Louis region) and Ourossogui (in the Matam region) are tight. Normal trade flows from high-production areas such as Kaolack have not yet commenced. Only locally grown rice is available in sufficient quantities. Current prices for local grain crops are high, at 175-185 CFAF in Podor department and 235-285 CFAF in Matam department. In contrast, we found plentiful supplies of sweet potatoes and tomatoes, which are going for low prices. Livestock prices are extremely high and supplies are tight. In the face of these conditions, the current coping strategies of households in the country’s Groundnut Basin call for one-off sales of small quantities of grain to meet urgent needs, the selling of firewood and straw and rural-urban migration. Residents are still able to get hold of enough grain for their daily meals, but the make-up of food access pyramids has shifted. The disruption of the groundnut marketing season meant a loss of earnings for farm families. In a normal year, crop production covers 100% of household consumption needs, with the surplus invested in livestock. Right now, crop production meets only 70% of consumption needs, with the deficit covered by borrowing, which is playing an increasingly larger role in household coping strategies, as the importance of paid farm work and migration diminishes. Unfavorable grazing and watering conditions in livestock-raising areas are prompting herders to step up survival strategies centered around sale of livestock, which is undermining their main source of income. 2 SENEGAL: MONTHLY FOOD SECURITY UPDATE APRIL 2006 Markets Market supplies of locally Table 1: Grain imports (in MT) grown grain crops (millet, December January February March Products Total sorghum and maize) are 2005 2006 2006 2006 still tight, but supplies of Rice 50,500.0 11,979.0 27,098.3 4,516.6 94,093.9 imported rice are ample Wheat 35,642.6 13,000.3 30,157.8 30,124.6 108,925.3 enough to enable Wheat semolina 1,380.8 2,564.7 1,084.0 404.0 5,433.5 households to cope with Wheat flour 241.0 466.9 707.9 current coarse grain Maize 13,733.0 13,524.0 27,257.0 shortages.

  • 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.

    SC UK HEA SENEGAL: MATAM AGRO-SYLVO PASTORAL LIVELIHOOD ZONE Livelihood Profile Matam Region Matam Agro-sylvo Pastoral Livelihood zone April 20111 Zone Description The Matam region is located in northeastern Senegal. Its northern and eastern boundaries are marked by the Senegal river and beyond it Mauritania, to the south and southeast is the Tambacounda region, while Louga region lays to its west and to the northwest is the St. Louis region. Matam region is vast (about 29,000 km2) and encompasses three distinct agro-ecological zones: the Walo or valley area along the Senegal river where flood recession and irrigated agriculture is practiced; the Diery or rainfed agriculture zone; and the Ferlo or the forested savannah where pastoralism dominates as the primary way of life. The Walo is a narrow strip, not much more than 20km wide, the Diery, a slightly broader strip, gently transitions into the Ferlo, which makes up the remaining expanses of the region. This livelihood zone profile focuses on households living the Diery. The majority of villages selected for the study are located in the Matam department located in the northern part of the region (and also its most densely populated with approximately 265,000 inhabitants or 47 people per km2). While the agro-ecological zones are distinct appear distinct, the livelihoods of households situated in the Diery are multifaceted: households exploit forest resources of the Ferlo while growing rainfed crops in the Diery and occasionally exploiting ancestral lands in the Walo when conditions are favourable (though they were not in large part during the reference year).

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.
