Senegal, with 196,712 km2 land area, is located at the extreme west of the African continent (Longitudes 11°21W - 17°32N and Latitudes 12°8N - 16°41N). The country’s soils are in general of low fertility, fragile and very susceptible to wind and water erosion. The climate is of Sudano-Sahelian ty...

The Climate-Smart Village approach: what research and insights from current implementation in Daga-Birame CSV in Senegal?
This report details the results of research undertaken in Kaffrine, Senegal in May and June of 2015, which explored the possibility of utilizing rural health posts as a channel of communication of climate information to female farmers. The hypothesis was that since health posts often aim to reach...

Exploring synergies between health and climate services: Assessing the feasibility of providing climate information to women farmers through health posts in Kaffrine, Senegal
CSA initiatives aim to sustainably increase productivity, enhance resilience, and reduce/remove greenhouse gases (GHGs), and require planning to address trade-offs and synergies between these three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation (CIAT; BFS/USAID. 2016). The CSV concept reflects...

Developing a Climate-Smart Village for Reduced Climate Risk and Food Insecurity in Daga-Birame, Senegal
Adaptation to anthropogenic climate change is the biggest challenge that humankind faces. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a synthesis of the state of the science, impacts, and policy, with a focus on long-term climate trends. However, the worst impacts of climate cha...
À Daga Birame, au Sénégal, CCAFS et ses partenaires ont mis en place un village climato-intelligent (CSV) dans lequel plusieurs activités sont menées.
Sur la base de la vision du village et de son avenir, un ensemble d'actions ont été identifiées par la communauté afin d'atteindre les changements...

Mise en place d’un Village Intelligent face au Climat pour la réduction des risques climatiques et de l’insécurité alimentaire à Daga-Birame, Sénégal. Guide de visite de terrain pour la Réunion du Comité Scientifique Indépendant du CCAFS
Up to now, efforts to help local communities out of the food-insecurity trap were guided by researcher
(or other actors)-led decisions on technologies to be implemented by the communities. This approach has proved
inefficient because of low adoption of the so-called improved technologies. This pa...

Participatory diagnosis and development of climate change adaptive capacity in the groundnut basin of Senegal: building a climate-smart village model
West Africa is a very vulnerable part of the world to the impacts of climate change due to
a combination of exposure and low adaptive capacity. Climate change has induced an increase in
rainfall variability which in turn has affected the availability of water resources, ecosystem services
and agr...

Closing the Gap between Climate Information Producers and Users: Assessment of Needs and Uptake in Senegal
This paper aims to find best predictors for rainfall statistics over Western Africa. We investigated skill level for rainfall total and number of rainy days over a 0.8-degree gridded resolution over five season windows from March to September: March-April-May (MAM), April-May-June (AMJ), May-June...
