Synopsis (short abstract) Senegal is one among the poorest countries in the world, but due to its political and social stability its economy is more developed compared to its neighbouring countries. However, the country is prone to natural and economic shocks which have particular negative effects on the resilience capacity and food security of its population. Low rainfall and drought are chronic problems in several locations of the country while occurrence of food crises and food price shocks, have increased the vulnera bility of the population to shocks in the last decades. Against this background, reinforcing household resilience to deal with recurrent and often complex shocks is a key element to be taken into account in poverty reduction interventions. Resilience is defined according to the RMTWG’s definition (2014):1 “the capacity that ensures adverse stressors and shocks do not have long-lasting adverse development consequences”. FAO has been on the front line of resilience measurement since 2008. Together with other key partners, FAO has been pioneering resilience measurement and analysis with respect to food insecurity through the Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA)2 model which has been used to undertake the present analysis. This RIMA index identifies and weighs the six pillars and relating factors that contribute to make household resilient to shocks affecting their food security. It also allows tracing the stability of these factors over time. The pillars that constitute the FA O-RIMA model are: Adaptive Capacity (AC), Access to Basic Services (ABS), Assets (AST), Income and Food Access (IFA), Sensitivity (S), and Social Safety Nets(SSN), The resilience analysis using the FAO RIMA model provides the evidence for more effectively designing, delivering, monitoring and evaluating assistance to populations in need, based on what they need most.

The series aims at providing programming and policy guidance to policy makers, practitioners, UN agencies, NGO and other stakeholders by identifying the key factors that contribute to the resilience of households in food insecure countries and regions. The analysis is largely based on the use of the FAO Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) tool. Findings are inte grated with other more traditional measures of poverty and food insecurity.

    This document presents the resilience analysis conducted in Matam, one of the poorest regions of Senegal. The analysis is based on a household survey, implemented ad hoc by the FAO Resilience Analysis and Policies (RAP) team and Agence National de Statistique et de la Démographie between December 2015 and January 2016. This report aims at identifying the key pillars of resilience and related contributing factors using FAO Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis II (RIMA-II) model. The report c an be adopted as a baseline to critically review the pre-existing policies put in place by the Government of Senegal and suggest better tailoring and specifications.

    Ce rapport vise essentiellement à mettre en relief les principaux piliers de la résilience et leurs facteurs contributifs au niveau des ménages, en appliquant la seconde itération de la méthodologie intitulée Mesure et analyse de l’indice de résilience de la FAO (RIMA) - Mesure et analyse de l’indice de résilience II (RIMA-II). La deuxième partie de l’analyse examine le rôle des variables géoclimatiques, des chocs et d’autres caractéristiques des ménages vis-à-vis de la sécurité alimentaire et d e la capacité de résilience. Enfin , les résultats sont analysés à la lumière des politiques déjà en oeuvre à Matam et des futures politiques qui pourraient être élaborées et appliquées, compte tenu des groupes sociaux et géographiques dont l’étude a fait apparaître une résilience moindre.
