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. -
Policy briefResilience analysis in the Triangle of Hope (Mauritania): a policy brief 2016
Also available in:
Mauritania, located in the Sahel area of Africa, is mostly desert or semi-desert. Despite the recent socio-economic improvements, Mauritania is still 156 out of 188 countries, as ranked by the Human Development Index in 2014. In particular, four regions, called the "Triangle of Hope", are the most food insecure and crisis-exposed areas of Mauritania. Their significant degree of poverty (higher than 40 percent) motivated the resilience analysis. This brief formulates clear policy indications, aim ed to help government and policymakers with their future decisions, and contributes to a framework for humanitarian and long-term development initiatives to build food secure and resilient livelihoods.
