EU Projects with Senegal
The joint EU - Senegal 2018-2023 strategy is part of this framework and supports and strengthens a multidimensional partnership. Its ambition is to support the emergence of Senegal, to strengthen the stability of the country and to support its economic and social recovery efforts following the COVID19 crisis. The joint strategy also takes into account the events that have occurred in the country since March 2021 which have demonstrated strong economic and social frustrations of the population and especially young people, linked to the negative impacts of the COVID19 crisis but also to deeper structural challenges such as inequality, job and income insecurity, as well as limited prospects for young people. The joint EU-Senegal strategy is based on 3 priority axes: green and inclusive growth for job creation, the development of human capital and good governance.

The RIPOSTES project and its contribution to the pan-African Great Green Wall initiative in Senegal
In Senegal, the Great Green Wall project extends 545 km long and 15 km wide, covering a total area of 817,500 hectares. It is implemented by the Senegalese Agency for Reforestation and the Great Green Wall (ASERGMV) and is part of a broader program to restore degraded lands and combat desertification.
The RIPOSTES project - Resilience and Intensive Reforestation for the Safeguarding of Territories and Ecosystems in Senegal - is a pilot project which is part of the implementation of the Great Green Wall in Senegal.
It aims to strengthen local land restoration and sustainable development initiatives in two specific areas covering 13 municipalities:
- Ferlo: Sylvo-pastoral zone located in the north-central part of the country
- Peanut basin: Agricultural zone heavily degraded by monoculture
The RIPOSTES project is implemented by FAO and the Senegalese Agency for Reforestation and the Great Green Wall. The contributions of RIPOSTES to the Great Green Wall in Senegal are as follows:
- Support for local communities: The RIPOSTES project supports local communities in the implementation of reforestation, agroforestry and development of sustainable economic activities projects.
- Capacity building: The project strengthens the capacities of local actors in sustainable land management, environmental governance and women's leadership.
