  • Africa Riskview END of SEASON REPORT | SENEGAL (2017 SEASON)
    Africa RiskView END OF SEASON REPORT | SENEGAL (2017 SEASON) This Africa RiskView End-of-Season Report is a publication by the African Risk Capacity (ARC). The report discusses Africa RiskView’s estimates of rainfall, drought and population affected, comparing them to information from the ground and from external sources. It also provides the basis of a validation exercise of Africa RiskView, which is conducted in each country at the end of an insured season. This exercise aims at reviewing the performance of the model and ensuring that the country’s drought risk is accurately reproduced by Africa RiskView for drought monitoring and insurance coverage. The End-of-Season reports are also being continuously refined with a view to providing early warning to ARC member countries.

    SENEGAL PROGRAMS NUTRITION Founded in 1992, Nutrition International is a leading global nutrition organization headquartered INTERNATIONAL in Ottawa, Canada. In partnership with countries, donors and other agencies, Nutrition International supports nutrition research, policy formulation and integrates nutrition into IN SENEGAL development programs. Nutrition International opened its Senegal office in 2006 and works to improve women and children’s nutrition in Senegal and the high-burden countries of the Sahel. While there have been gains, malnutrition is still a challenge in Senegal. From 2011 to 2015, the prevalence of stunting decreased from 26% to 20.3%. During the same period, acute malnutrition decreased from 9% to 6% for children under 5 before rising again to 8%. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding is also trending downward, from 39% in 2010 to 33% in 2015. At the national level, the prevalence of diarrhoea is 26.3% in children under 5, but 16 departments have rates of more than 30%. Anaemia remains a major public health concern, with rates rising from 66% to 71% between 2014 and 2017 among children under 5. Iodine deficiency affects 28% of women and only 47% of the Senegalese population consumes adequately iodized salt. Nutrition International supports the Cellule de Lutte Contre la Malnutrition, the convening body for nutrition in the country. Nutrition International also works closely with several ministries including Health, Trade and Education. PRIORITY Nutrition International Senegal is working to reduce the high burden of
