The Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project 2 aims to reduce flood risks in peri-urban Dakar and enhance urban flood risk planning and management in selected Senegalese cities. The project integrates climate risk and sustainability into urban planning and management, supports drainage investments, engages communities, and strengthens emergency response capacity.

The Senegal Higher Education Project - Espoir-Jeunes aims to increase equitable access to market-relevant vocational tertiary education, improve governance in higher education, and support research. The project will include climate-resilient designs, such as afforestation and tree planting around schools, and focuses on constructing and modernizing vocational institutes to meet labor market demands

The Saint-Louis Emergency Recovery and Resilience Project aims to reduce vulnerability to coastal hazards along the Langue de Barbarie and enhance resilience planning in Saint-Louis. The project includes relocation of populations in high-risk zones, coastal risk management plans, and hybrid coastal protection measures to address erosion and improve safety and urban planning.

The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to enhance resilient road connectivity in selected agricultural areas of Senegal and to support road safety institutional capacity development in Senegal. The project will use bioengineering solutions such as grasses and tree planting to improve road slope protection along constructed roads.

The Government of Senegal, in coordination with sector ministries and municipalities, implemented this project to improve stormwater drainage and flood prevention in peri-urban Dakar. The project consists of three main topical components, ranging from flood risk mainstreaming in the urban sector, drainage investment and management, to community engagement in urban flood-risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. The program and the national strategy to be developed here will include both structural and non-structural measures.
