This introductory section of a guide on gender integration in Senegal's National Adaptation Plan outlines the impacts of climate change in West Africa and specifically within Senegal, detailing temperature increases, precipitation declines, and the resulting degradation of ecosystems and socio-economic sectors.

This synthesis report by the Africa Policy Research Institute examines climate change adaptation policies and locally-led adaptation (LLA) strategies in Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal. It highlights the gap between national climate goals (NDCs) and local implementation, emphasizing that while communities are actively adapting, they are often excluded from decision-making and lack the financial and technical resources necessary for sustainable resilience.

This report by the Alliance for Renewable Electrification (ARE) and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) examines the potential for direct green job creation through Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) in Ghana and Senegal. It establishes a methodology for calculating an 'Employment Factor' to estimate jobs per kWp of installed capacity and provides scenarios for job growth by 2030 based on different policy approaches. The study highlights that DRE can serve as a catalyst for formalising employment in regions with high informal sector activity and can significantly increase induced employment through productive uses of energy.
