PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Background:
Access to land and other natural resources plays a central role in poverty reduction and sustainable development. Climate change and desertification are increasingly putting pressure on Senegal's natural resources and making land access particularly difficult for vulnerable groups. In Senegal, almost half of all households earn their income from agriculture and are therefore heavily dependent on secure and fair access to natural resources. However, in rural areas, only 7.5% of the population (13% of men and only 1% of women) have secure land rights. Unclear land boundaries and a lack of transparency in land use often lead to conflict. At the same time, local authorities lack the capacity for sustainable land-use planning and land rights protection, which further hinders community development. Against this backdrop, the Senegalese government is focusing on formalizing the population's land rights, promoting land reforms, and making land management more transparent, sustainable, and climate-resilient.
Objective:
Local authorities and stakeholders will possess the necessary skills to ensure participatory, transparent, and climate-resilient land management.
Approach:
To achieve these objectives, the government, decentralized technical services, and selected municipalities in the Kaolack and Kaffrine regions will be supported in further developing legal frameworks for sustainable land use and in building their land
