Upscaling "Naatangue" integrated family and village farms for a resilient agriculture in Senegal

Gender assessment for SAP043: Climate Adaptation, Resilience and Engagement in Local Governments (CARE-LG)

Project Approved

Project Completed

Under Implementation

Senegal is acutely exposed to climate risks, particularly in the agricultural sector which represents about 15 per cent of the country’s GDP. The agriculture and livestock sectors are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as increased rainfall variability, land salinisation, water erosion, and recurring climate-related plant and agricultural crop diseases. These challenges can degrade up to two-thirds of the arable lands in the country by 2030 leading to yield losses, declining incomes, and unsustainable livelihoods. 

To address these challenges, the project will improve sustainable agriculture in eight regions, strengthening the capacity of agricultural advisors and smallholder farms, and empower farmer entrepreneurship through market integration and accelerate new agricultural markets. 

The project aims to scale up the proven Naatangué farming approach that has been successfully implemented by the National Agency for Agricultural Integration and Development (ANIDA) across Senegal. This model focuses on modernising and intensifying production systems and integrating opportunities for combined agriculture-livestock-fishing operations on small farms.

This funding proposal was developed with support provided by the GCF Project Preparation Facility.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

Activities that involve the cultivation of crops and raising of livestock for food, fibre, and other products essential for human life and industry.

Actions or measures to adapt terrestrial systems to climate change.

Financial actors and resources that are primarily directed towards climate change mitigation, adaptation and compensation.

Dedicated pool of financial resources for climate-related projects.

Climate change impacts our society by disrupting the natural, economic and social systems we depend on. Physical hazards and underlying vulnerabilities can lead to increased resource competition for food and water, which can heighten the risk of conflict.

Actions and measures to adapt and increase resilience of societies and the economy to climate change.

This sector involves activities to move goods and people, alongside the storage of products.
