Making Senegal’s cities more flood-resilient

Source(s):  Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, the (GFDRR)

Flooding has become a major problem in Senegal’s cities, a trend exacerbated by rural urban migration and a lack of access to drainage and sewage infrastructure. Recognizing these risks, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) began to engage with the Senegalese government in 2008, supporting a Spatial Analysis of Natural Hazards and Climate Variability Risks Project and the country’s first-ever Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA). The PDNA’s recommendations laid the groundwork for the Storm Water Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project (PROGEP), with support and funding from the World Bank and the Nordic Development Fund.

Stories of Impact is a series highlighting achievements in disaster risk management.
