IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Despite the crucial role women play in farming and small-scale agriculture, gender inequality persists in many ways, compromising food and nutritional security. It is this observation that emerged from the gender in Senegalese agriculture assessment sponsored by USAID and its Economic Growth Office. Senegal MEP conducted the study from July 18th to August 31st, 2016 and was primarily focused on grain, horticulture, livestock and fishing value chains. Cross cutting sectors like water and agricultural policies were also analyzed with seven major research questions. In addition to the literature review, the assessment team went to Dakar, St. Louis, Matam, Kaolack, Kolda, Kédougou and Sédhiou to collect qualitative data. The data collected allowed the team to answer seven identified research questions, which were: 1. What are the widest gender disparities in the agriculture sector? What are the consequences for the well-being and opportunities for women, girls, men and boys? 2. What elements of change have occurred for women in the agriculture sector over the last 10 years? 3. What current approaches are being taken by EGO to address gender in the agriculture sector? 4. How well are the current EGO approaches addressing gender disparities in terms of narrowing the gaps between men and women? 5. How are other donors tackling gender in the agriculture sector? 6. What remaining gaps need to be addressed? 7. Based on current systems and perceptions,

  • Information Bulletin Africa: Floods
    Information bulletin Africa: Floods This bulletin is issued for information only and reflects the current situation and details available at this time. It provides overview of the floods situation and key action taken by National Red Cross/ Red Crescent Societies with the support of IFRC and RC/RC Movement partners. The multi-country floods’ situation is rapidly evolving as it is published. The information would be updated as per the changing context. Background and the Red Cross and Red Crescent action While some countries in Africa are experiencing drought, others are facing devastating floods. The scale and scope of disaster risk, underlying vulnerabilities and complex socio-political and economic factors are unparalleled. Climate change and environmental degradation are exacerbating risk many times over. Recent forecasts suggest the flooding will continue to worsen over the coming weeks, likely to impact over one million people before this crisis is over. In most of the affected countries, the flooding is severe. Affected countries include: (1) Cameroon, (2) Central African Republic, (3) Côte d'Ivoire, (4) Ghana, (5) Kenya, (6) Mali (7) Mauritania, (8) Niger, (9) Nigeria, (10) Senegal (11) Sierra Leone, (12) South Sudan. In addition, six other countries have reported flooding situations, namely: Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, DRC, Tanzania and Sudan. The Movement has responded to 12 flood situations with Disaster Emergency Relief Fund (DREF) or Emergency Appeals. Additional DREFs and new Emergency Appeals are likely, particularly in South Sudan and Central African Republic. The active floods have affected over 421,000, of which 85,800 are, or will be, assisted by Movement DREF or Emergency Appeals.

  • Calcium Phosphate of Kolda Reasons to Invest?
    CALCIUM PHOSPHATE OF KOLDA REASONS TO INVEST? Phosphates have been the main mineral used in Senegal with a good contribution to the country's GDP. For example, the use of phosphates began in 1949 for aluminum Thiès.

  • 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.

  • Matam 2011 Profile Agropastoral Zone 0
    SC UK HEA SENEGAL: MATAM AGRO-SYLVO PASTORAL LIVELIHOOD ZONE Livelihood Profile Matam Region Matam Agro-sylvo Pastoral Livelihood zone April 20111 Zone Description The Matam region is located in northeastern Senegal. Its northern and eastern boundaries are marked by the Senegal river and beyond it Mauritania, to the south and southeast is the Tambacounda region, while Louga region lays to its west and to the northwest is the St. Louis region. Matam region is vast (about 29,000 km2) and encompasses three distinct agro-ecological zones: the Walo or valley area along the Senegal river where flood recession and irrigated agriculture is practiced; the Diery or rainfed agriculture zone; and the Ferlo or the forested savannah where pastoralism dominates as the primary way of life. The Walo is a narrow strip, not much more than 20km wide, the Diery, a slightly broader strip, gently transitions into the Ferlo, which makes up the remaining expanses of the region. This livelihood zone profile focuses on households living the Diery. The majority of villages selected for the study are located in the Matam department located in the northern part of the region (and also its most densely populated with approximately 265,000 inhabitants or 47 people per km2). While the agro-ecological zones are distinct appear distinct, the livelihoods of households situated in the Diery are multifaceted: households exploit forest resources of the Ferlo while growing rainfed crops in the Diery and occasionally exploiting ancestral lands in the Walo when conditions are favourable (though they were not in large part during the reference year).
