I 3.7 Urban Disaster Risk Reduction 3.7.1 Overall Situation of Disaster Risk Reduction (1) Disasters in Senegal and the Study Area According to EM-DAT27, the past disasters in Senegal are summarized as shown in Table 3.7.1. The most frequently occurring disaster from a historical point of view is droughts, followed by flooding.

Flooding is the most major natural disaster that occurs in the Study Area. It has been reported that after 2005, there have been frequent floods in Pikine and Guédiawaye Departments. It should be noted that there were also man-made disasters that resulted in a relatively large number of deaths in the Study Area. Although not recorded in Table 3.7.2, coastal hazards such as coastal erosion and coastal flooding during an extreme storm event have been recognized as among the major hazards in the Study Area in previous studies28, 29. In the present study, the flood hazard and coastal hazard are discussed in detail in the following sections. 27 The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database, Universite Catholique de Louvain — Brussels (http://www.emdat.be). 28 World Bank, Preparing to Manage Natural Hazards and Climate Change Risks in Dakar, Senegal, A Spatial and Institutional Approach, 2009. 29 GFDRR-World Bank, Disaster Risk Management Programs for Priority Countries, 2011. 3-146 Project for Urban Master Plan of Dakar and Neighboring Area for 2035 Final Report: Volume.

The Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSP-II, 2006– 2010 and PRSP-III, 2011–2015) have considered disaster risk management as an important element. In the National Strategy for Economic and Social Development (NSESD, 2013–2017)35, risk and disaster’s prevention and management was set as one of the elements in Pillar 2: Human Resources, Social Welfare and Sustainable Development. The strategic objectives and actions on DRM are shown in Table 3.7.3. 30 Mbow et al., Urban sprawl development and flooding at Yeumbeul suburbs (Dakar-Senegal), African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, Vol. 2 (4), pp.75–88, 2008. 31 DPC, Les risques et catastrophes majeurs au Sénégal; DPC Presentat report (2013), p. 15. 32 GLIDE, http://glidenumber.net/glide/public/search/search.jsp. 33 PDNA, Evaluation des besoins post catastrophe inondations urbaines à Dakar, 2009. 34 DPC, Presentation material. 35 NSESD 2013–2017, National Strategy for Economic and Social Development, 2012. 3-147 Project for Urban Master Plan of Dakar and Neighboring Area for 2035 Final Report: Volume.

The national platform, which was established in 2008, is responsible for promoting the integration of DRM into national development policies, plans and strategies. The Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC) under the Ministry of Interior is the agency responsible for the coordination of DRM activities in Senegal. DPC acts as the secretariat of the national platform for the prevention and reduction of major disaster risks.

  • World Directory of Minorities
    World Directory of Minorities Africa MRG Directory –> Senegal –> Diola (Jola) Print Page Close Window Diola (Jola) Profile Casamance is a small area between Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. It comprises Ziguinchor and Kolda, two of the country's eight administrative regions, and is almost completely separated from the state by Gambia. The majority ethnic group in Casamance is Diola (Jola), although they make up only around four per cent of Senegal's total population. There are also significant Diola populations in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. Traditionally farmers, especially rice cultivators, and traders, there has been an increasing tendency for Diola youth to migrate, at least seasonally, to urban centres. Many Diola practice traditional beliefs, while others are Christians and a smaller number are Muslim. Christians and Muslims often mix those rites with traditional beliefs. Historical context Many Diola sold into slavery in the 17th century century were taken to Britain's American colonies, where they were prized for their rice-growing skills. During and since the colonial period, Diola traditional culture and beliefs were eroded by Islam, Christianity and Western education. Casamance was part of the Gambia River complex and in 1889 was arbitrarily separated from Gambia. During the colonial and early independence period it was a distant and neglected region, and under pressure from Wolof cultural dominance in Senegal. Several movements for the independence of Casamance from Senegal developed in the late 1960s and 1970s. A few separatist groups emerged in the early 1980s, spurred on by new government policies that transferred some traditional lands of subsistence farmers in Casamance to northern Muslims of Wolof, Serer or Peuhl ethnicity for use in growing cash crops.

  • Cape Verde Islands, C. 1500–1879
    TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka This dissertation explores how the Atlantic slave trade integrated the Cape Verde archipelago into the cultural, economic, and political milieu of Upper Guinea Coast between 1500 and 1879. The archipelago is about 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. The Portuguese colonized the “uninhabited” archipelago in 1460 and soon began trading with the mainland for slaves and black African slaves became the majority, resulting in the first racialized Atlantic slave society. Despite cultural changes, I argue that cultural practices by the lower classes, both slaves and freed slaves, were quintessentially “Guinean.” Regional fashion and dress developed between the archipelago and mainland with adorning and social use of panu (cotton cloth). In particular, I argue Afro-feminine aesthetics developed in the islands by freed black women that had counterparts in the mainland, rather than mere creolization. Moreover, the study explores the social instability in the islands that led to the exile of liberated slaves, slaves, and the poor, the majority of whom were of African descent as part of the Portuguese efforts to organize the Atlantic slave trade in the Upper th Guinea Coast. With the abolition of slavery in Cape Verde in the 19 century, Portugal used freed slaves and the poor as foot soldiers and a labor force to consolidate “Portuguese Guinea.” Many freed slaves resisted this mandatory service.

Laurent Wagner, Research Officer at Ferdi. Martha Tesfaye Woldemichael, Ph.D. candidate at CERDI. Abstract With its sustained growth, the unprecedented wave of foreign direct investment and the sharp decline in poverty, Sub-Saharan Africa’s track record over the past fifteen years has been largely positive. Yet, this rebound in growth, accompanied by major economic reforms, democratic progress and a lower incidence of conflicts, remains fragile. In Af- rica, structural change—which in most of toady’s developed countries has come about through a transfer of resources from the primary to the secondary sector, then to the tertiary sector—appears to have “bypassed” the secondary sector. …/… Keywords: Sub-Saharan Africa, (de-)industrialization, structural change, manufacturing, services, exports, poverty, employment, productivity, growth.
