United Nations Development Assistance Framework for the Immediate Socio-Economic Response to COVID-19: Contextualization in Senegal United Nations development assistance framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19: Contextualization in Senegal October 2020 UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FRAMEWORK FOR THE IMMEDIATE SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Preface In recent years, Senegal has recorded strong economic growth and significant progress in social development through the implementation of the Senegal Emergent Plan (PSE). Unfortunately, like other countries in the world and as various studies have shown, the impact of COVID-19 threatens to undermine the progress made by the country and in particular the achievement of the Goals set out in Agendas 2030 and Agenda 2063. The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a health crisis. It is also an economic, social, humanitarian, security and human rights crisis that affects us as individuals, families, communities and societies. To stem it, the Government of Senegal, under the leadership of President Macky SALL, has set up an Economic and Social Resilience Program (PRES) for very short-term actions. The magnitude of the shock resulting from this pandemic has necessitated the reorganization of development interventions through the Adjusted and Accelerated Priority Action Plan (PAP 2A) which not only provides a strengthened response to this shock, but also lays the foundations for a strong economic recovery that should keep the country on the initially adopted path of emergence. This United Nations Framework for Socio-Economic Response in Senegal is the collective contribution of the United Nations in Senegal in response to the socio-economic impact of COVID-19. The framework will put into practice the March 2020 report of the UN Secretary General “Shared responsibility, global solidarity: Responding to the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19”. This response of the United Nations System has a results and resources framework that reflects the priority interventions formulated jointly over a 13- month period. These are aligned with the effects of the United Nations Framework Plan for Cooperation for Sustainable Development (UNSDCF 2019-2023) and the five pillars of the Secretary General’s Socio-Economic Response Plan. In addition, these priority interventions will be integrated into the joint work plans of UNSDCF 2021, to ensure the coherence of interventions in support of national development priorities. This socio-economic response framework to the COVID-19 pandemic is part of the strengthening of the excellent existing cooperation between the Government of Senegal and the United Nations System and provides concrete, multifaceted and flexible support to the Government of Senegal and its population in order to build better than before to accelerate our efforts to achieve Agenda 2030.

  • 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.

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.

  • SÉNÉGAL Rapport Spécial
    SENEGAL Special Report August 31, 2015 Poor start to the agropastoral season in central and northern areas KEY MESSAGES This year, farmers are resorting to short-cycle varieties of cowpea and Souna millet crops more than usual as a strategy to limit the negative effects of the late start of the rains on crop production in order to ensure near-average crop yields. With the likely downsizing of the land area planted in groundnuts, Senegal’s main cash crop, household incomes between December and March will likely be below average. The poor pastoral conditions between February and June severely affected pastoral incomes, which have been well below-average as a result of the decline in animal production and livestock prices. The larger than usual numbers of animal deaths have adversely affected the livelihoods of pastoral households, limiting their food access on local markets. However, the recent recovery of pastures and replenishment of watering holes have helped improve the situation in many pastoral areas. Food assistance from the government and its humanitarian partners is easing poor households’ food insecurity. Humanitarian food and non-food assistance and cash transfer programs will limit the use of atypical coping strategies (ex. borrowing and reducing food and nonfood expenditures) by recipient households. An examination of food prices on domestic markets shows prices for locally grown millet still slightly above-average and prices for regular broken rice, the main foodstuff consumed by Senegalese households, at below-average levels. However, despite these prices, the below-average incomes of poor agropastoral households is preventing many households from adequating accessing these food items.
