Adaptation and Valorization of Entrepreneurship in Irrigated Agriculture

About this project

The project aims to improve the socio-economic well-being and resilience of farming households, especially women and youth, in the Sédhiou and Tambacounda regions of Senegal, through climate friendly agricultural and irrigation practices. Among other things, the project stands out for its approach of adopting innovative and affordable technologies and using smart practices in agriculture by women and youth. The project focuses on creating public-private partnerships with financial institutions, among others, to ensure access to financing, and partnerships with private companies for the purchase of agricultural products. Project activities include: (1) developing customized training programs for women and youth in topics such as financial management, business planning, climate change; (2) administering and disseminating market research on the needs of farming households, especially of women and youth, to agricultural input and irrigation service providers; and (3) developing multi-stakeholder platforms for women and youth for a common dialogue on water resources management.
