    The programme’s overall objective is to contribute to the implementation of Senegal’s National Adaptation Plan of Action on Climate Change (NAPA).

    Specific Objectives (SO):
    - SO1: Implement the actions to protect the coastal areas of Rufisque, Saly, and Joal against erosion, with the aim to protect houses and the economic infrastructures threatened by the erosion including fish processing areas, fishing docks, tourism or cultural infrastructures, and restore lost or threatened activities;
    - SO2 : Implement the actions to fight the salinization of agricultural lands used to grow rice in Joal, with the construction of anti-salt dikes;
    - SO3 : Assist local communities of the coastal area of Joal, especially women, in handling fish processing areas of the districts located along the littoral and to conduct awareness programme and training related to adaptation and its adverse effects ;
    - SO4 : Communicate on the adaptation, sensitize and train local people on climate change adaptation techniques in coastal areas and on good practices, to avoid an aggravation of the various situations encountered;
    - SO5: Develop and implement the appropriate regulations for the management of coastal
    areas.

    Expected Results:
    • Result 1: The populations, houses, economic and cultural infrastructures in the coastal areas in Rufisque, Saly, and Joal are protected against erosion;
    • Result 2: The lands of the rice-growing areas and others agricultural crops in Joal are
    protected against salinization and agricultural activities are restored;
    • Result 3: The population in the coastal area of Joal, through the Town Council, have set up a rational and effective waste management system ; the fish processing areas are renovated, with a strong involvement of women
    • Result 4: The people are aware of the climatic risks ; they need to be sensitized and
    informed on the adaptation techniques to climate change in coastal areas;
    • Result 5: The appropriate regulation is developed, adapted, and implemented for rational
    management of coastal areas.

    The Programme’s Intervention Areas: The Programme encompasses the areas of Rufisque, Saly, and Joal.
