Relevant context

Not specified.

Process for developing NDC

As a precursor to the development of the NDC, Senegal was already in the process of creating The Plan for an Emergent Senegal. It provides the foundation for accelerated economic growth largely based on increased activity in the primary and secondary sectors of the economy; but, the combination of the deleterious effects of climate change on arable land, water and fishery resources, and the rapid population growth of the country are likely to jeopardize the success of the national plan.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism

Monitoring will be under the supervision of the Directorate of Environment and Classified Establishments of the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development, monitoring and evaluation of projects / programs under this contribution.

It will monitor the various indicators in relation to NDC by sector departments;

The establishment of an implementation of the monitoring system of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) under development will ensure the management of all projects and programs identified as options for mitigation and adaptation;

The establishment of a Coastal Observatory for coastal areas monitoring;

The adoption of an early warning system for risk prevention and disaster; the involvement of the Quality Management Center of the Air Dakar for the monitoring of climate and atmospheric settings in the NDC;

The regional climate change committees including local communities through decentralized structures of the sectoral departments, private sector representatives, NGOs and CBOs.

Summary of gender reference
