NEEMA | Food and Nutritional Resilience in Senegal

In this video, Lucienne Kodou Ndione gives an overview of the situation of Senegal. This country has faced growing food and nutritional insecurity, exacerbated by climate change, worsening drought, and regional security crises, particularly in the Sahel.

The impact has been profound, with rising food prices and inflation threatening access to nutritious food for millions of people. This has prompted an urgent need for robust food and nutrition resilience across the country, as well as throughout the ECOWAS region.

The study highlights the critical importance of creating sustainable food systems that guarantee everyone’s right to sufficient, nutritious, and safe food. It also underscores the dangers posed by unsanitary food sources in Senegal, which heighten risks of disease and malnutrition.
