ProjectAméliorer la Gestion des Oiseaux d’Eau et de leur Habitat Naturel en Égypte, au Sénégal et au Tchad - TCP/INT/3505 2019
Also available in:
The wetlands of sub-Saharan Africa have been subject to significantanthropogenic pressures, which have been exacerbated by increasinghuman population and risks associated with global climate change.Wetlands resources are especially used for agriculture, livestock,fishing, hunting, salt exploitation, mining and ecotourism. For manylocal people, waterbirds are a direct source of protein, as well as asource of financial income. However, the current exploitation of thewaterbird resource, particularly migratory species, was notsustainable. Against this background, the project developed a set ofpilot activities to ensure the sustainability of exploiting migratorywaterbirds in sites chosen among the wetlands of internationalimportance in three target countries: Chad, Egypt and Senegal.The wetlands of sub-Saharan Africa have been subject to significantanthropogenic pressures, which have been exacerbated by increasinghuman population and risks associated with global climate change.Wetlands resources are especially used for agriculture, livestock,fishing, hunting, salt exploitation, mining and ecotourism.

ProjectTerminal Report - Improved Livelihoods in Post-harvest Fisheries in Cameroon, chad, The Gambia and Senegal
PILOT PROJECT 3
2007Also available in:
The pilot project for “Improved livelihoods in post harvest fisheries” is the third of SFLP’s three pilot projects, PP3. A planning workshop held in Cotonou in 2002 established the project framework and made recommendations for the design of the project. The design team of the project made field visits to the four participating countries (Cameroon, Chad, Gambia and Senegal) and met with the SFLP Coordination Unit (Rome) and it’s Regional Support Unit (Cotonou) during the course of 2003 . National design teams with the facilitation of the international design team identified national and regional activities consistent with the goal, purpose and outputs agreed to at the Cotonou workshop. A project memorandum, including logical framework, work-plan, calendar and proposed budget, was drafted during the country visits. The Programme Steering Committee approved the project in July 2003 and the Memorandum of Understanding signed between FAO and the respective authorities for fisheries in the countries between May and June 2004 for the project to be implemented in a period of 36 months.

ProjectEnhanced Crossboundary Water Resource Management in the Senegal River Basin - TCP/INT/3602 2020
Also available in:
No results found.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.
