CLimate Finance - Projet d’appui à la mise en place de pôles de développement résilients et de préservation de la biodiversité (Senegal)

About this project

The regions of Fatick, Kaffrine, and Saint-Louis in Senegal are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including biodiversity loss, declining food security, land degradation, salinization, and desertification. Strengthening the resilience of local communities is therefore critical, alongside the promotion of sustainable agroecological practices and the sustainable management of natural resources such as land, forests, and water. The UNDP project “Projet d’appui à la mise en place de pôles de développement résilients et de préservation de la biodiversité” seeks to address these challenges through an integrated approach that combines climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable local development. The project supports the adoption of agroecological production systems, strengthens the sustainable management of ecosystems and natural resources, and enhances the adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities to climate-related risks. By promoting resilient development poles in some of Senegal’s most climate-vulnerable regions, the project aims to contribute to improved livelihoods, increased food security, and the preservation of biodiversity, while helping to combat the ongoing processes of land degradation, salinization, and desertification. The initiative is aligned with Senegal’s climate and sustainable development priorities and contributes to long-term resilience at both the community and ecosystem levels.
