Upscaling "Naatangue" integrated family and village farms for a resilient agriculture

The project proposes a USD 10 million investment to establish and consolidate integrated farms in Senegal, focusing on the integration of plant and animal production and the use of groundwater to reduce vulnerability to rainfall variability and land salinization. The initiative aims to benefit 2,640 direct beneficiaries and create 8,000 indirect jobs through the installation of 150 family farms and various village farms across 22 municipalities.

• Senegal's agricultural sector is highly vulnerable to climate change, specifically through rainfall variability, land salinization, water erosion, and emerging climate-related diseases, which lead to yield losses and declining rural incomes.
• The "Naatangue" farm model utilizes an integrated approach combining market gardening, arboriculture, fish farming, and livestock farming, relying on groundwater rather than surface water or rain to ensure stability.
• Between 2012 and 2016, 221 existing Naatangue farms produced 58,176 tonnes of fruits, vegetables, and cereals, and created 16,240 permanent and seasonal jobs for women and youth as of June 30, 2017.
• The proposed project will be implemented across 22 municipalities in the regions of Thiès, Saint-Louis, Louga, Tamba, Kolda, Kaolack, Kaffrine, and Ziguinchor.
• The project's total indicative cost is USD 10,000,000, with USD 9,301,818 requested as a grant from the Green Climate Fund and USD 698,182 in co-financing from ANIDA.
• The project is structured into four components: hydroagricultural infrastructure (USD 7,978,182), innovation and agricultural advice (USD 900,000), organizational and entrepreneurial capacity development (USD 301,818), and project management (USD 820,000).
• The project aims to reach 8,000 beneficiaries, including 2,640 direct beneficiaries, and intends to integrate Climate-Smart Agriculture options to strengthen ecosystem resilience.
