Senegal
At a Glance
Senegal is heavily dependent on rain-fed agriculture and coastal fisheries and is thus highly vulnerable to climate change. USAID works with all levels of society to factor climate change considerations into national policies as well as working to improve local management of fisheries and help coastal communities adapt to climate change. USAID adaptation activities also strengthen food security by promoting conservation farming, crop varieties with shorter growth cycles, and adoption of crop insurance to protect against crop failure.
