Project Description
This project supports the Government of Senegal in developing a land use development plan for the Great Coast of Senegal (Niayes region). The plan is expected to serve as a land use management and development plan for an area that is one of the most agriculturally productive and highly sensitive environmentally. The plan also aims to support decision-making by Senegalese authorities in the long-term economic development of the agriculture agroforestry and forestry sectors while taking into account environmental and land issues.
Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved as of March 2014 include: (1) training land use management staff to use a geographic information system to better inform development plans; (2) conducting a consultation process involving several studies and the preparation of technical documents; and (3) developing a land-use development plan for the Great Coast (Niayes).
