Country: Senegal

COUNTRY STRATEGY:

WFP supports the government's efforts to meet objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 1, MDG2, MDG3, MDG4, MDG5, MDG7 and MDG8. Further adjustments to WFP's programme strategy were made in light of the Plan Senegal Emergent (PSE), adopted in February 2014, which outlines the government’s priorities for poverty reduction, social protection and economic growth in 2014–2018. The PRRO (2015-2016) adopts a twin-track approach to address acute food insecurity in communities affected by shocks, combined with recovery and resilience support. It aims to treat global acute malnutrition where prevalence exceeds 10 percent and preventing it where it exceeds 15 percent; and to strengthen national preparedness and response capacities with integrated early-warning systems and response tools.

The CP (2012-2016) lays the groundwork for gradual hand-over to the government by strengthening national capacity at the central and local levels. It focuses on rehabilitating environmental and productive infrastructures to improve household food security and assist vulnerable groups in rural areas in coping with climate shocks. It provides nutritional support to children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW), as part of a programme to address acute malnutrition and offer nutritional education. It provides support for the provision of school feeding to children in maternal and primary schools. WFP has been present in Senegal since the 1960s.
