A CASE STUDY PROFILE ON AGRICULTURE IN THE COMMUNITY OF DAGA BIRAME IN SENEGAL
The document details community-based adaptation strategies in Senegal across three sectors. In Daga Birame, a 'climate-smart village' model utilizes climate forecasts, photovoltaic-powered boreholes, and assisted natural regeneration to increase agricultural yields. In the island communities of Dionewar, the 'Epis Maltais Savard' system of stakes and palm fronds has gained 2.6 metres of beach to combat coastal erosion. In Widou Thiengoly, adaptation focuses on heatwave resilience through early warning systems, Nubian vault construction for heat protection, and reforestation supported by the Great Green Wall Agency. All three initiatives align with Senegal's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) but face common challenges including insufficient financing and limited technical capacity.
