For every population cohort in Senegal, infectious diseases are the main cause of mortality and morbidity, with malaria, respiratory infections and diarrhea being most prevalent. In recent years, there has been a recrudescence of epidemic diseases such as cholera, a steady increase of endemic diseases such as malaria, schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis and hepatitis B, and the emergence of new viral diseases such as AIDS. 2. The organization of endemic and epidemic diseases surveillance and control is the responsibility of the Endemic Disease Control sub-DirectorateService National des Grandes Endemies (SNGE). Over the past 20 years, the resources allocated to the SNGE have steadily decreased to 1 percent of the Ministerial budget. Surveillance and control activities have been mainly supported by the donor community, with a project-by-project and donor-by-donor approach. The capability and organization of the SNGE as a team have progressively deteriorated, undermining the effectiveness and motivation of its staff. Furthermore, knowledge of the epidemiological situation in the country has decreased in the absence of an effective and communicative health management information system, leaving no opportunity for prevention or proactive measures. 3. The project was born from the dialogue between Government and IDA about the New Orientations of the Health and Social Sector Policy (Nouvelles Orientations de la Politique de ii Sante et d'Action Sociale) defined in June 1995, and was developed during a series of consultative meetings organized by the Government over an 18-month period. Participants in these meetings were drawn from all stakeholder groups, including district and regional medical staff, from the medical university, and partners in development for Senegal. 4. The long-term objective of the project is to strengthen national capacity to control endemic and epidemic diseases, with greater concern for rationalization in the use of resources and cost-effectiveness in the choice of control stategy. Project strategy consists in institutionally strengthening the SNGE, supporting its efforts to control, in particular, three diseases of public health importance, i.e. malaria, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis, and implementing a computerized health management information system. The project design includes three main components: (a) support to malaria, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis control activities, (b) development of a computerized health management information system; and (c) institutional strengthening of the SNGE. Project Benefits 5. By reducing the burden of malaria, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis, the project will directly benefit the populations in rural areas where these diseases are most prevalent. As a result of the reinforcement of national capacities to control endemic and epidemic diseases, the project will also significantly benefit people in poor urban areas who have been severely hit by recent epidemics of cholera, and who are still at high risk from other epidemics such as cerebral meningitis.

  • 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.

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.
