Buffett Foundation, addresses the challenge of providing long term access to clean water and sanitation, as well as protecting and managing ecosystem services and watersheds, for the poorest and most vulnerable people dependant on those services. Water provision under GWI takes place in the context of securing the resource base and developing new or improved approaches to water management, and forms part of a larger framework for addressing poverty, power and inequalities that particularly affect the poorest populations. This means combining a practical focus on water and sanitation delivery with investments targeted at strengthening institutions, raising awareness and developing effective policies.

  • Energy Security in West Africa the Case of Senegal
    ENDA Energy, Environment, Development Energy Security in West Africa The Case of Senegal - Final report- By Touria Dafrallah Enda Energy, Environment and Development Program With the contribution of Mr Alioune Niang Ministry of Energy, Senegal December 2009 1 Executive Summary The analysis of the Senegalese energy security situation presented in this report highlights the vulnerability of the country and the many challenges that it has to address. These challenges have to do with the need to reach development and economic growth targets, respond to the need of a young and growing population and mitigate the impacts of negative externalities (foreign dependence for conventional energy, vulnerability to climate change of biomass and hydro energy resources, etc) on the country energy supply. This study looked at the socio-economic and energy profiles of Senegal, analyzed the energy security both at the national and household levels. The main findings of this study and key recommendations towards policy makers are summarized as follow: Main findings: Socio-economic and Energy profile of Senegal Like the majority of Sub Saharan African countries (SSA), the socio-economic situation of Senegal is characterised by a widening gap between demographic trends and economic growth. Although the GDP growth rate went from 5, 6% in 2004 to 6, 1% in 2005 (ADB, 2004), the Senegalese economy remains confronted to many difficulties. In terms of poverty, the country is ranked 157th out of 177 countries on the IDH (Index of Human development) scale.The country heavily relies on oil and oil derived products imports. Indeed, fossil fuels are the main type of energy used in Senegal.

Günther Brauner Valerie Hengl, BSc 1576839 Vienna, 5 June 2018 Affidavit I, VALERIE HENGL, BSC, hereby declare 1. that I am the sole author of the present Master’s Thesis, "THE PATHWAY TO A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE OF SUB-SAHARAN COUNTRIES: A CASE STUDY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES IN SENEGAL", 58 pages, bound, and that I have not used any source or tool other than those referenced or any other illicit aid or tool, and 2. that I have not prior to this date submitted this Master’s Thesis as an examination paper in any form in Austria or abroad. Vienna, 05.06.2018 Signature Abstract Many countries in the Sub-Saharan region and especially in West Africa are among the poorest and least developed regions in the world. In particular, the possibility of access to electricity remains one of the biggest challenges of its population despite its enormous potential for renewable technologies. Therefore, this master thesis examines by means of a case study on Senegal, why the implementation of renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa is so slowly evolving and establishes recommendation how the Senegalese government can overcome the barriers of renewable energy implementation by appropriate policy measures and financial incentives.
