Senegal Project to Restore Salinized Lands and Increase Resilience, Approved 15 October 2015

This project, titled "Increasing the Resilience of Ecosystems and Communities through Restoration of the Productive Bases of Salinized Lands," aims to restore salinized lands in Senegal, specifically in the districts of Fatick and Foundiougne, to enhance the resilience of ecosystems and local communities. The project addresses land salinization caused by climate change impacts such as persistent drought, low freshwater infiltration leading to saltwater intrusion, rising sea levels causing saltwater encroachment, and the combined effect of reduced rainfall and increasing temperatures. The scope includes improving knowledge and planning through the creation of maps and a real-time database of salinized land, strengthening capacity for developing desalinization and land management plans, and raising awareness. Key obligations involve implementing restoration measures such as hydraulic works (small dams, artificial basins, large ponds, anti-salt works, drip irrigation), reforestation, anti-soil erosion systems, mangrove restoration, promotion of biosaline agriculture, and the use of natural fertilizers (phosphate, manures, composts) to improve soil fertility. The project also seeks to increase food security by improving production through adapted seeds, better food security stocks, improved processing units, and organizing farming partnerships and cooperatives. Affected sectors include agriculture, land management, water management, ecosystems, and local communities. The project has an estimated lifespan of 4 years from its start date. No specific regulation or statute names are mentioned in the provided text.
