Senegal Country Programme

In Senegal, the entry themes of the PROFEIS programme differ according to region:

• Kaolack and Fatick Regions: Conservation and regeneration of natural resources (soil and water) in millet- and peanut-dominated farming systems;
• Thiès and Diourbel Regions: Enhancing the value of indigenous woody species in the agro forestry systems of the Peanut Basin.

Soil fertility is a cross-cutting theme, because it an essential condition for the success of innovation on conservation and regeneration of natural resources and for the value of indigenous woody species.

Now the programme has opened up to other themes judged relevant in Senegal, looking at both technical and socio-organisational innovation.

PROFEIS-Senegal is currently funded by Misereor for three years (2006–2009).
