Synopsis (short abstract) Urbanization data is essential in understanding livelihoods, food security, population characteristics and climatic sensitivity. Urbanization classes across the Agno river basin is obtained from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to support the GEF-8 Clean and Healthy Oceans Integrated Programme (IP). The overarching aim of the IP is to mitigate coastal pollution from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. Therefore, urbanization data is fundamental in understanding the potential pollution sources across the river basin.

    Land cover data is vital in understanding livelihoods, food security and both exposure and sensitivity to climatic risks. It was obtained from the ESA Worldcover (2021) as a technical support to the GEF-8 Clean and Healthy Oceans Integrated Programme (IP). The overarching aim of the IP is to mitigate coastal pollution from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. Therefore, land cover data is crucial in understanding potential sources of pollution across the river basin.

    Livelihoods across a large portion of sub-Saharan Africa are dependent upon rainfed agriculture, with only a small percentage of arable land benefiting from irrigation. Agricultural growth has been constrained by the pressures placed on land through rapid population growth,migration, displacement caused by localized conflict, pricevolatility, desertification and flooding, among otherfactors. With land and water resources dwindling through erosion and rising demand for food, forage, timber and water, poverty has become generalized, in particular inrural areas. The Senegal River Basin represents Guinea, Mali, Mauritania and Senegal. Poverty in this region remains high, with the quality of life among the lowest on the continent. The Human Development Index (HDI) scoresfor each of the four countries put them in the bottom 25 percent of global rankings. The initiatives carried out by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) at national and regional levels, together with the river basin-level activities conducted by the OMVS, helped to strengthen resilience to drought and climate uncertainty among the population living in the Senegal River Basin, as well as improving livelihoods. The OMVS provides a positive example ofthe equitable sharing of water resources, through the development and management activities carried out by countries forming part of a cross-border river basin. The aim of the present project was to strengthen these efforts.
