Senegal - NAP Global Network

OUR PROGRAM

The NAP Global Network works with the Ministry of the Environment, Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition of Senegal to integrate gender considerations into the planning and implementation of the country’s NAP processes.

Our program is at an early stage. We are currently supporting a gender analysis to assess how gender has been integrated so far into the NAP process, as well as opportunities, especially at the institutional level, to accelerate gender mainstreaming. This study will inform the next steps of the partnership.

Senegal embarked on the process of developing its NAP in 2015, adopting a sectoral and participatory approach, under the coordination of the Ministry of the Environment, Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition (MEDDTE). An institutional framework for coordinating and monitoring the NAP was set up, and a roadmap was developed in 2018, which is to be updated every 3 years. Priority sectors have been identified based on the analysis of the NAPA (2006), the Nationally Determined Contribution (2015), and the Plan Sénégal Émergent (2014–2035).
