Project Summary
1. Overview: Drawing lessons from the implementation of two generations of Poverty
Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs, PNEDS and SNEDS), the Government of Senegal in 2014
developed a new development model known as Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE). In this new strategy,
emphasis is laid on improving people's living conditions and combating social inequalities.
Furthermore, in order to achieve the PSE objectives, the Government in 2015 developed the
Emergency Community Development Programme (PUDC), which seeks to help improve access to
basic social services for the rural population by building socio-economic infrastructure and
promoting the involvement of local actors in the economic and social development of their areas.
Phase 1 of the programme, to which the Bank contributed with a budget support operation, was
finalized at end December 2017 (the outcomes of Phase 1 are given in Annex A.2.1 of the Technical
Annexes). This project is the Bank's support for the first operation of PUDC Phase 2, which will
be financed along with other donors. It will improve people's living conditions with substantial
support for the development of agricultural value chains and easier access to basic socio-economic
road and energy infrastructure. The project has been coherently designed, drawing lessons from
achievements of Phase 1 of the programme and taking into account interventions planned by other
donors (details of consistency of the operation are given in Annex A.2.1 of the Technical Annexes).
2. The first Phase 2 operation will be implemented over a period of four (4) years. Its total
cost is estimated at EUR 162.03 million. The Bank's contribution, as parallel financing, is estimated
at EUR 60 million, excluding taxes and customs duties. The operation is co-financed with the
Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the Saudi Fund (SF), and the Government of Senegal.
3. The main expected outcomes of the first operation of Phase 2 include: (i) support for the
establishment of 109 Rural Agricultural Societies (SAR) and 109 farming areas, including
irrigation equipment (5-10 hectares); (ii) the construction of 105 boreholes and drinking water
supply infrastructure ; (iii) the procurement of 799 processing machines for women and young
people; (v) the construction of 710 km of rural roads and 76 solar power stations; (vi) the
installation of 1,023 km of Medium and Low Voltage networks and 190 H61 sub-stations; (vii) the
construction of 70 equipped health posts. The AfDB will finance part of the proposed activities. Its
approach is based on : (i) sustained support for agricultural value chains (tomato, pepper, sweet
potato, onion, etc.) to improve the development of commercial agriculture and help increase
incomes in rural areas; and (ii) the construction of transport and energy infrastructure (rural roads
and rural electrification) and basic socio-economic infrastructure and facilities (water, sanitation
and health) to improve the people's living conditions. The intervention will also lay emphasis on
strengthening community development mechanisms by targeting the involvement of all
stakeholders in the project implementation.
4. The project area will cover several localities in Ziguinchor, Kolda and Sédhiou, Kaolack,
Diourbel, Fatick, Thiès and Kaffrine Tambacounda, Kédougou and Matam regions, and will affect
3 million people. The direct beneficiaries of the project are estimated at 1.5 million people who
live in the project area, as well as people polarized by the localities. The project will help: (i)
increase incomes in rural areas; and (ii) improve people's access to basic social services. As regards
impacts, the development of agricultural activities will help reduce the poverty rate from 67% to
54%, the child mortality rate from 51 to 25%, and the chronic malnutrition rate from 21% to 8%.

5. Needs Assessment: In Senegal, rural areas have the majority of the population (57%),
who are mainly engaged in agro-pastoral activities. The current trend is for young people to leave
the rural areas and go to the cities in search of jobs, and sometimes even go on illegal emigration.
The country's cereal deficit is huge, and many rural households are vulnerable, with recurrent
rainfall deficits and acute malnutrition rates exceeding the emergency threshold (10%). In addition,
the rural population has poor access to infrastructure (water, health, electrification, transport,
economic services) with large regional disparities. The 187 most isolated rural municipalities are
scattered in 11 of the country's 14 regions. Consequently, access to markets is still limited, and
input and transport costs for agricultural products are still high, with significant post-harvest losses.
In these localities, there are strong regional disparities.
6. Value Added for the Bank: The project design took into account the project document
prepared by the Government for Phase 2, various similar operations of the Bank and other partners in the
country, as well as those provided in the Bank's 2018 lending programme. Given that the PUDC is basically
a multi-sector and cross-cutting programme, the added value for the Bank lies mainly in its intervention
approach based mainly on substantial support for the implementation of value chain activities and provision
of basic infrastructure, equipment and socio-economic services. This operation will therefore complement
those already implemented, ongoing or scheduled under other projects financed by the Bank in areas as
diverse as water and sanitation, rural electrification, rural roads, health and nutrition. In addition, the Bank
will finance technical studies in different sectors, an IEC programme for behaviour change, and capacity
building programmes for stakeholders. Finally, the Bank will be involved in the operation of the Project
Management Unit (PMU), which is in charge of carrying out and monitoring activities.
7. Knowledge Management: The project monitoring and evaluation system will be
common to the other donors involved in the programme, and will generate relevant information on
its impact. It will also be used in monitoring and evaluating the various sectors covered by the
programme. Information from this operation will be discussed and used to fine tune and better plan
the country's development policies and strategies.

BANK GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS ON AN AfDB LOAN FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
SUPPORT PROJECT (PA - PUDC)
The Management hereby submits this report and recommendation on a proposal to grant EUR 60 million
AfDB loan to the Republic of Senegal to finance the Emergency Community Development Programme
Support Project (PA-PUDC).
I. STRATEGIC ORIENTATION AND RATIONALE
1.1 Project Linkages with Country Strategy and Objectives
1.1.1 Over the past few decades, Senegal has been marked by major profound changes due to
slowdown in economic growth. Furthermore, the various strategy papers prepared so far have not always
produced convincing results, and most of them have been based on imported paradigms. The country has
also recorded strong demands from the population, especially the rural population, for concrete actions
to improve their living conditions. Consequently, to accelerate progress towards emergence, the
Senegalese Government in 2014 adopted a new development strategy known as the Emerging Senegal
Plan (PSE) for the year 2035. This new medium and long-term economic and social policy reference
framework comprises three pillars: (i) Structural economic transformation and growth; (ii) Human
capital, social protection and sustainable development; and (iii) Governance, institutions, peace and
security. This project, known as the "Emergency Community Development Programme Support Project
(PA - PUDC)" and intended to support agricultural production and processing activities, as well as
improve the living conditions of the population by opening up production areas and strengthening local
governance, is fully consistent with the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE), particularly pillars (i) and (ii).
1.1.2 The project is also consistent with the CSP (2016-2020) currently being implemented. In view
of its multi-sector nature, the project is based on the two CSP pillars, namely : (i) "Support for agricultural
transformation"; and (ii) "Infrastructure development (Energy, Health and Transport)". The project is
also in line with the Bank's Ten-Year strategy (2013-2022), which focuses on infrastructure development
to promote green and inclusive growth. Finally, it complies with: (i) the Bank's rural development policy;
and (ii) three (3) of the Bank’s five (5) priorities (High 5s), namely: (a) Light up and power Africa, (b)
Feed Africa, (d) Improve the living conditions of the people of Africa. The project is on the list of projects
provided in the CSP. Finally, the project is aligned with the Bank's gender and youth employment
strategies. The project is also complementary to the Electricity Access Improvement Project in semi-
urban and rural areas, as well as the Entrepreneurship and Youth Employment Project, currently being
approved by the Bank.
1.2 Rationale for Bank Intervention
1.2.1 In Senegal, the rural population, which accounts for 57% of the total population, has poor access
to infrastructure (water and sanitation, electricity, health, transport, and economic services), with wide
regional disparities. The 187 most isolated rural municipalities are scattered in 11 of the country's 14
regions. Thus, access to markets is still limited, and input and transport costs for agricultural production
are high, with significant post-harvest losses. The Bank is a major partner for Senegal in financing rural
projects, and has already financed several operations whose implementation has significantly improved
2
the living conditions of the rural population. Furthermore, the employability of young people and women
is a crucial issue in rural areas.
1.2.2 This has helped to enhance the productive capital, increase food security, and promote the
emergence of production centres. This operation, which has the particularity of being linked to a multi-
sector programme intended mainly for the most vulnerable populations, and which has a cross-cutting
dimension in relation to sector projects already implemented or ongoing, will significantly confirm the
Bank's commitment in Senegal. The Bank's intervention in this Phase 2 of the Programme will therefore
help to further reduce social inequalities, not only by reinforcing the achievements of Phase 1, but also
by extending it to other areas that have not yet been covered. In addition, the Bank's intervention could
help to attract other partners to financing the programme.
1.2.3 The Bank's intervention, whose main objective is to improve the living conditions of the rural
population, will also help to increase their incomes and improve access to infrastructure and socio-
economic facilities. It is based on strong synergy between the various sectors covered, as well as on
pooling successful approaches and capacity building for community development actors.
1.2.4 That is why, in the project area, the various proposed activities will complement and reinforce
the actions already initiated with financing from the Bank and other donors, in particular : (i) the Food
Security Support Project (PASA Lou-Ma-Kaf); (ii) the Multinational Programme for Strengthening
Resilience to Food and Nutritional Insecurity in the Sahel (P2RS); (iii) the PPC/PNDL Project; and (iv)
the Water and Sanitation Sector Project. The list of projects financed by the Bank in the sectors covered
by the PUDC is given in the annex to this report.
1.3 Aid Coordination
1.3.1 Development aid is coordinated by the Government of Senegal, through the Department of
Cooperation and External Financing (DCFE) of the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Planning.
Coordination is ensured by the Technical and Financial Partners Consultative Committee (CCPTF)
through three levels of consultation: the G50, the G12 and 20 thematic groups. The various sectors
(agriculture, water/sanitation, rural roads, energy, and health/nutrition) covered by the project have sector
groups with designated TFP Leads, and meet regularly.
1.3.2 The main ongoing projects supported by other TFPs and covering sectors similar to the PUDC
are as follows: (i) the Emergency Border Highways and Territory Modernization Programme (PUMA),
the National Rural Roads Programme (PNRR 2014-2018); (ii) the Agricultural Sectors Support Project
- Extension (PAFA E) ; (iii) the Agricultural Development and Rural Entrepreneurship Support
Programme (PADAER) ; and (iv) the Project for Developing Resilience to recurrent Food Insecurity in
Senegal (DRIARS). The list of projects financed by the other TFPs and that relate to the sectors covered
by the PUDC is given in paragraph A.2.3 of the Technical Annexes.
1.3.3 As regards the PUDC specifically, the African Development Bank, the IsDB and the Saudi
Fund are the three donors already committed to financing Phase 2 of the programme with parallel co-
financing interventions. However, to ensure better collaboration between the partners, promote the
pooling of resources, and make management and monitoring of activities more efficient, the Programme
Management Unit will be the same for the various operations.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1. Description of the first operation of the Emergency Community Development
Programme Phase 2
2.1.1 The first operation has been coherently designed and is based on PUDC Phase 2 consistency,
for multi-donor funding. It will be jointly financed (concurrently) by the IsDB, the Saudi Fund, the AfDB
and the Government of Senegal. AfDB's intervention will focus on sustained support for agricultural
value chains and infrastructure development. The main expected outcomes of this first operation include :
(i) support for the establishment of 109 Rural Agricultural Societies (SAR) and 109 farming areas,
including irrigation equipment (5-10 hectares); (ii) the construction of 105 boreholes and drinking water
supply infrastructure ; (iii) the procurement of 799 processing machines for women and young people;
(v) the construction of 710 km of rural roads and 76 solar power plants; (vi) the installation of 1,023 km
of Medium and Low Voltage networks and 190 H61 sub-stations; and (vii) the construction of 70
equipped health posts.
2.1.2 The activities to be financed by the various donors are given in the table below:
Table 2.1: Donor-Financed Activities in the Programme
2.1.3 The first operation of the programme Phase 2, in continuity with Phase 1 and in order to expand
to other sectors, is designed mainly around the following pillars: (i) support for structural transformation
of the agricultural sector; (ii) infrastructure reinforcement; and (iii) improvement of access to basic social
services. The activities under these various pillars were identified following harmonization of PUDC
projections with the programmes of the various technical Ministries concerned, as well as consultations
with stakeholders and beneficiaries.
2.1.4 The operation is designed in a logical and coherent manner, and incorporates full
complementarity with the interventions of the three donors already committed, namely the IsDB, whose
financing was already approved in February 2018, the Saudi Fund, whose financing is expected to be
approved in October 2018, and the AfDB. The total cost of this first operation, including the
Government's contribution, is estimated at CFAF 106.33 billion (EUR 162.03 million). The operation
will be implemented over a four-year period from 2018 to 2022. The interventions of the various donors
will be complementary, and will take place concurrently. The AfDB loan of EUR 60 million will account
for 37.03% of the total cost of the operation, excluding taxes. The contributions by the various donors
already committed to the programme, as well as the amounts and % of financing are given in the table

2.2. Objectives of the first operation of the Emergency Community Development
Programme Phase 2
2.2.1. The objectives of this first phase 2 operation are in line with the efforts made by the Senegalese
Authorities to improve the living conditions of the population, namely: (i) foster the development of
economic activities in rural areas; (ii) improve the people’s access to basic socio-economic infrastructure
and facilities; and (iii) promote the involvement and mobilization of all stakeholders in community
development.
2.3. Description of the Bank’s Intervention
2.3.1. The Emergency Community Development Programme Support Project (PA - PUDC) is the
Bank's intervention in the first operation of PUDC Phase 2, described above. It is designed in a manner
consistent with the announced interventions of the IsDB and Saudi Fund. The AfDB's intervention will
finance part of the operation’s activities. Its approach is based on : (i) sustained support for agricultural
value chains (tomato, pepper, sweet potato, onion, etc.) to improve the development of commercial
agriculture and increase incomes in rural areas; and (ii) the construction of transport and energy
infrastructure (rural roads and rural electrification) and basic socio-economic infrastructure and facilities
(water, sanitation and health) to improve the people's living conditions. The intervention will lay
emphasis on strengthening community development mechanisms by targeting strong involvement of all
stakeholders in the project implementation.
2.3.2. Given the multisector dimension of the intervention, the project was designed in such a way as
to develop full synergy between the various sectors covered and promote the involvement of several
Government structures in the project implementation. This aspect is developed in paragraph A.2.2 of the
Technical Annexes.
2.3.3. The implementation procedures of the various activities, as well as conditions for handing over
works and infrastructure to Government structures and local authorities which will be responsible for
them, have been discussed between the PUDC, the various technical Ministries, and the Bank. This
information is provided in paragraph B1 of the Technical Annexes.
2.3.4. The project is structured around the following components, as shown in the table below: (A).
Value Chains and Infrastructure Development; (B). IEC, Studies and Capacity Building; and (C). Project
Management.

Table 2.3: Project Components and Activities
2.4. Technical Solutions Adopted and Alternatives Considered
2.4.1. The technical solutions adopted for the project stem from the various studies conducted, the
project document prepared in Phase 2 of the Programme, and the lessons learned from the implementation
of Phase 1. As regards the water supply component, the solution consists in drilling and equipping
boreholes for the supply of drinking water to the population, livestock, and irrigation of horticultural
areas, with surplus flow.
2.4.2. As for horticultural areas, the solution consists in creating areas in line with the existence of
Rural Agricultural Societies (SAR) which operate as private companies with members who are jointly
and severally responsible for the smooth running of the companies and are beneficiaries of the outcomes.
This will ensure better management of the areas, as well as greater profitability of the activities. As
regards rural electrification, the solution consists in mixing, depending on the localities concerned, the
construction of photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants, connection to existing SENELEC electricity
networks, and the installation of solar kits in the few inaccessible localities. The other alternative
technical solutions, their brief description, and reasons for their rejection are given in the table below:

Table 2.4: Technical solutions adopted and reasons for rejection
Alternative Brief Description Reasons for Rejection
For the water supply
component: use of surface water
Instead of boreholes, use existing surface
water, with treatment of part of the water intended for the population
This solution was rejected for two reasons: (i) Surface water is not available
in all the localities concerned; (ii) Treatment and the required installations would be very costly.
For the farming areas:
community support approach
It consists in providing infrastructure and
various forms of support without
necessarily first having a formal structure for management.
This solution was rejected because it does not allow for proper farming areas
management. Creation of the farming areas depends on the existence of Rural
Agricultural Societies that operate as private companies whose members, who joined voluntarily, are jointly and severally liable.
For rural electrification/ Use of only solar kits
It was possible to think of installing only
solar kits in households, instead of mixing with solar power plants and MV/LV lines.
This solution was rejected, given that this approach is not yet widespread in
Senegal. In addition, sustainability of the kits is not guaranteed because their maintenance often poses problems.
2.5. Project Type
2.5.1. The project is an autonomous, multi-sector investment operation that forms part of the
programme co-financed by donors and the Government of Senegal. The proposed financing instrument
is an AfDB loan, which will be granted to the Government of Senegal.
2.6. Project Cost and Financing Arrangements
2.6.1. The financing of the Community Development Programme Support Project (PA-PUDC), which
is the Bank's intervention, will be provided by the Bank and the Government of Senegal. The total project
cost, exclusive of taxes and duties, is EUR 69.37 million (CFAF 45.28 billion), comprising EUR 49.08
million in foreign currency (71%) and EUR 19.95 million in local currency (29%). It was calculated on
the basis of unit prices of recent completed projects, and includes provision for physical contingencies
(4%) and price escalation (3%). The detailed costs of project activities are given in paragraph B.2 of the
Technical Annexes.

2.7. Project Area and Beneficiaries
2.7.1. The project area will cover the southern regions, namely Ziguinchor, Kolda and Sédhiou, as
well as Kaolack, Diourbel, Fatick, Thiès and Kaffrine regions in the central zone, and Tambacounda,
Kédougou and Matam regions, with a population of 3 million inhabitants. The choice of the project area
was guided by three main objectives, namely: (i) the need to build on the achievements of Phase 1; (ii)
complementarity with interventions by other PUDC donors and other projects; and (iii) targeted and
urgent intervention in locations without infrastructure. Complete service packages including the covered
sectors will be implemented for the localities covered by the project in the various regions. The direct
project beneficiaries are estimated at 1.5 million people, 51% of whom are women living in the project
area and in villages polarized by the localities. The project will take into account the needs of women,
men, and young people of all age groups and social categories. The vulnerable population in the project
area will be given priority, particularly with regard to access to drinking water, rural electrification and
health infrastructure.
2.8. Participatory Approach to Project Identification, Design and Implementation,
including the private sector and civil society
2.8.1. The project has been designed to supplement funding from the Government of Senegal and
other donors on the basis of a participatory and inclusive approach so as to take into account the concerns
of the communities that are the final beneficiaries. This approach, which began during discussions with
the National Directorate, the Ministries concerned, civil society and beneficiaries, continued during the
appraisal mission. It will be consolidated during implementation of the various activities under Phase 2.
2.8.2. The mission’s various field visits and meetings with institutional stakeholders and beneficiaries
allowed for better understanding of the population’s expectations, as well as the implementation
constraints that were taken into account in the project design. To ensure consistency and proper
coordination in implementation, discussions were held with the technical and financial partners involved
in financing the project, and public consultations were also held in the project area. Furthermore, it should
be noted that the various project activities were identified thanks to close collaboration between the
PUDC, the various Ministries and support structures concerned with the various components. Thus, for
sectors such as nutrition and social protection, the project will be based mainly on the complementarity
of actions carried out with the Malnutrition Control Unit (CLM) and the Delegation for Social Protection
and National Solidarity (DPSSN).
2.9. Bank Group Experience and lessons learned from Project Design
2.9.1. The performance of the Bank's national public portfolio in Senegal was deemed satisfactory
following the portfolio review in December 2017, with a rating of 3 out of 4. The Bank is Senegal’s
privileged partner in the various sectors covered by the project (Agriculture, Water and Sanitation,
Transport, Rural Electrification and Health). Over the past ten years, the Bank has financed several
operations in rural areas for an amount of about EUR 100 million (CFAF 65.9 billion). It also makes
valuable contribution to sector dialogue and annual sector reviews. The experience gained from the
implementation of projects financed by the Bank in the various sectors mentioned above (PSEA,
PREFELAG, PASA Lou-Ma-Kaf, PPC/PNDL, PROMOVILLES, P2RS and PARDC) has been taken
into account in the project design.
9
2.9.2. The portfolio has become much younger over the past few years, with the average age of
operations falling from 5.5 years in 2011 to 2.7 years in 2017. Furthermore, there are no problematic
(PP) or potentially problematic (PPP) projects in the portfolio. The sector breakdown of national projects
is as follows: Infrastructure (66.4%), Water and Sanitation (12.6%), Rural Sector (11%), Governance
(6.2%), and Social Sector (3.8%). The portfolio composition is aligned with the pillars of the CSP (2016
- 2020). All Bank-financed projects in the sector are being implemented, they all satisfied to first
disbursement conditions.
2.9.3. The key lessons learned from project implementation in the AfDB's intervention areas are: (i)
the need to improve quality of projects at entry; (ii) compliance with timeframes for procurement, project
implementation and audits; and (iii) poor impact monitoring-evaluation and follow-up after project
completion. The design of this operation has taken these lessons into account through: (i) more accurate
technical studies and cost estimates; (ii) closer monitoring of procurement documents in the project
management unit by reinforcing the PUDC procurement team; and (iii) reinforcement of the project
financial and accounting management team. In addition, the recommendations of the IDEV report on
the evaluation of the Bank Group's strategies and programmes 2004-2013 in Senegal have also been
taken into account in this operation.
2.10. Key Performance Indicators
The existing PUDC monitoring and evaluation system, which was effective during Phase 1, will be
reinforced. Given the multisector dimension of the project and the various interventions (AfDB, IsDB
and SF), the system will be more adapted to the new context with strong synergy between the various
Ministries concerned and the project donors. The selected output indicators are: (i) the number of new
boreholes constructed; (ii) the number of water towers built; (iii) the length of drinking water supply
mains laid; (iv) the number of horticultural areas created; (v) the number of rural agricultural societies
(RAS) established; (vi) the number of solar power plants established; (viii) the number of health posts
built; (ix) the number of people sensitized on behavioural change; (ix) the number of permanent jobs
created; and (xi) the number of studies validated under the various sector support operations.
III. PROJECT FEASIBILITY
3.1. Economic and Financial Performance
Table 3.1: Key Economic Data
Financial Analysis FIRR 11 % FNPV @ 2%: EUR 86.77 million
Economic Analysis EIRR: 27%; ENPV @10%: EUR 49.1 million
Financial Analysis
3.1.1. The project will help improve the people’s living conditions by developing economic activities
around horticultural areas and providing production and processing equipment for agricultural products,
as well as post-harvest equipment. The project will also help improve people's access to transport and
energy infrastructure and basic socio-economic infrastructure. This will also increase the people's
incomes.
10
3.1.2. At the financial level, the FIRR is estimated at 11%, which is higher than the discount rate of
2%, and the FNPV is EUR 86.77 million (CFAF 56.92 billion), which is positive. The project is therefore
financially viable.
Economic Analysis
3.1.3. The costs used to calculate economic rate of return are those for investment costs, exclusive of
taxes and duties, provisions for price escalation, maintenance costs and other operating expenses. The
main economic benefits are: (i) benefits from socio-economic investments ; (ii) net benefits for the other
actors (Government, suppliers, and enterprises) ; (iii) benefits arising from reduced health expenses. In
addition to the benefits indicated in paragraph 3.1.1 above, the project will contribute to reducing health-
related expenses by improving access to drinking water, sanitation and, especially, health infrastructure.
The project will also help to develop commercial activities by constructing rural roads, electric power
plants, and solar power plants.
3.1.4. Based on the adopted assumptions, the project's economic rate of return (ERR) is estimated at
27%. The NPV of benefits and costs calculated at the rate of 10% is estimated at EUR 49.1 million
(CFAF 32.26 billion), which is positive. The project is therefore economically viable. Details of the
financial and economic analysis are also provided in Annex B.7 of the Technical Annexes.
Sensitivity Analysis
3.1.5. The sensitivity of the project's economic and financial performance was analyzed by simulating
as follows: (i) 10% increase in the project cost due to increase in investment costs; (ii) 10% decrease in
the additional benefits of the project; and (iii) the combination of the two scenarios mentioned above.
The results of the sensitivity analysis show that rates of return and net present values are at acceptable
levels. The FIRR varied from 9% to 7%, and remained above the discount rate of 2%. The EIRR varied
from 23% to 19%, and remained above the opportunity cost of 10%. Both FNPV and ENPV remained
positive. The results of the sensitivity tests are given in paragraph B.7 of the Technical Annexes.
3.2. Environmental Impact
Environment
3.2.1. The programme has been classified under category 2 of the Bank's environmental and social
safeguards system, which corresponds to the category selected by the country's environmental services.
It has undergone a strategic environmental assessment, whose report has been validated by the country.
The negative environmental and social impacts of the programme are considered minor and very
ephemeral. They will mainly be observed during the works, since most of the infrastructure will provide
a solution that substantially improves the living conditions of the rural population (opening up of villages,
access to water and electricity, health facilities, income and better nutritional status). Summaries of the
strategic environmental assessment are posted on the Bank's website as of 24 August 2018.
11
Climate Change
3.2.2. The project complies with the Bank's climate safeguard policies by identifying the climate risks.
The programme’s sensitivity to climate has been analyzed in accordance with the Adaptation Review
and Evaluation Procedures (AREP) and the Climate Safeguard System (CSS).
3.2.3. Based on the preliminary analysis of project activities, some of the activities will be more
sensitive than others. Rural roads and water supply structures will be more sensitive to climate than other
infrastructure. The roads to be constructed will incorporate civil engineering structures into their design
to ensure normal flow of waterways that cross them. In addition, the longitudinal profiles of the runways
will be oriented to facilitate drainage of water falling or running on the surface course. The construction
materials will allow for a good level of compaction capable of reinforcing adhesion of various primary
particles so as to reduce crumbling with threshing of waters from exceptional rainfall. Water supply
structures should target sufficiently productive slicks to avoid early depletion. Other socio-economic
infrastructures will be built taking into account their probable exposure to hazards (high winds,
temperature rise, exceptional rainfall, etc.). In addition, the project will promote the use of solar energy
for lighting socio-economic infrastructures and operating the equipment provided under the programme.
This alternative will make the project's actions cleaner and greener.
Gender
3.2.4. The project will take into account the needs of women, men, and young people of all age groups
and social categories. Specifically, the project will promote the empowerment of women and young
people by establishing production, processing, packaging and storage units for agricultural and dairy
products, depending on the areas. The capacities of women and young people will be strengthened in the
processing of groundnut into oil, as well as its processing into other derived products, packaging, bottling
and labelling.
3.2.5. Women will be highly involved in activities related to value chains, also more than 55% of the
resources of promising projects will also be used for women. Women's commitment to empowerment
initiatives will be reinforced by the time gained due to the construction of improved village water supply
structures, access to energy, and access to socio-economic infrastructure and innovative production
technologies. Through the rehabilitation of rural roads, the project will facilitate access to remote areas
and transportation of local products. Through IEC (information, education and communication),
sensitization campaigns will be organized for the community at large, targeting 51% of women, on
gender, reproductive health and family planning, nutrition, hygiene and sanitation, fight against early
marriage, and other topics to be selected in line with the needs of each community. Training in
entrepreneurship and the development of bankable project proposals will be organized for women and
young people with support for project promoters and access to financing for the creation and development
of local businesses, and this will reduce rural exodus to large cities.
3.2.6. Support for women project promoters will also include support for access to land. The updating
of the RNU database and domestic installation in the rural electricity component, which will be
subsidized for 3,000 vulnerable households, will reach the most vulnerable population and be rationally
selective in the provision of assistance services to the most needy. The gender activities will be
implemented in collaboration with the Ministry in charge of gender. The project is categorized 2 in the
“gender marker system” The detailed gender analysis for each intervention sector and the action plan for
12
activities implementation are presented in Annex B.8.2 of the Technical Annexes. The budget allocated
for gender promotion and women's empowerment activities is estimated at EUR 15,5 million and is
included in the costs of the activities indicated above.
Socio-economic Impact
3.2.7. In order to improve the people’s living conditions, the project will help: (i) increase incomes in
rural areas; (ii) broaden people's access to basic social services; and (iii) strengthen community
development mechanisms. As regards impacts, with improved basic socio-economic services, the project
will help to reduce the poverty rate in rural areas from 67% to 54%. The project will also reduce child
mortality from 51‰ to 25‰, and chronic malnutrition from 21% to 8% by 2030. Finally, the project will
also help to increase access to drinking water in rural areas from 82% to 95%, as well as increase the
rural electrification rate from 33 to 55%.
3.2.8. Furthermore, as regards impacts, thanks to the construction of road and energy infrastructure,
more than 300,000 people, 51% of whom are women, will have access to electricity, and more than 800
villages will be opened up. In the health component, more than 300,000 additional people, 51% of whom
are women, will have access to quality health infrastructure and services, and more than 800,000 people,
51% of whom are women, will have access to drinking water. Women's access to health services will
also contribute to reducing maternal mortality. Above all, the project will, through the construction of
rural roads, the creation of farming and horticultural areas and support for rural agricultural societies, the
increase and diversification of horticultural production, provide better access to markets and
consequently increase the incomes of the rural population.
Employment
3.2.9. In 2016, the Bank adopted the Youth Employment Strategy in Africa 2016-2020 which, under
its first pillar, incorporates employment in all its sector operations. The project will provide support in
line with national employment promotion strategies. The project will support this initiative by: (i)
including incentives for the use of local labour in the bidding documents for works, particularly labour-
intensive works for rural roads; and (ii) involving the maximum number of women and young people in
the development of agricultural activities. Furthermore, as regards maintenance of rural roads and
equipment for the production and processing of agricultural products, support and employability training
for young people will be provided for the establishment of maintenance committees to be managed by
young people from the localities in the project area. The project will also encourage certain service
providers (design and supervision firms and works companies) to recruit engineers and trainee
technicians for them to gain experience in worksite works. Accordingly, more than 150 engineers and
technicians in water supply, transport, electricity, civil engineering and horticulture will be able to
undergo internships throughout the duration of the project. At project completion, the trained engineers
and technicians can either join the administration, or be recruited in large companies or design firms, or
employ themselves. In any case, the experience acquired will help them to integrate into the professional
environment.
3.2.10. The support fund for promising projects that will be set up will also help to create more than
500 jobs for young people and women in the medium term. The project will create 6,000 jobs inherent
in the works, and develop over 30,000 jobs in the agricultural and related sectors. The project's various
socio-economic impacts will thus help to curb rural exodus and illegal emigration.
13
Fragility
3.2.11. The main challenge in Casamance is to strengthen institutional, economic and social resilience,
while reducing gender disparities, as well as to accelerate decentralization by constructing key
infrastructure for lasting peace. Indeed, the region suffers from enormous infrastructure deficit, which
constitutes a major obstacle to sustained and inclusive growth of the Casamance economy and regional
integration. Rural exodus to Ziguinchor, which concentrates 81% of the urban population, and whose
population doubled between 1976 and 2014, was not accompanied by appropriate investments, with no
connection to infrastructure, nor access to basic services, thereby limiting any development initiative in
both urban and rural areas, and hampering the provision of government goods and services in the region.
Emigration, which mainly concerns young people, aggravates unemployment and urban poverty, which
in turn constitute an additional risk of social tension.
3.2.12. The infrastructure to be provided under the project, particularly rural roads, boreholes and water
towers, as well as health posts, will help to bridge the infrastructure gap in the region and will have a
major impact on improving the living conditions of the rural population. In addition, the establishment
of farming areas and rural agricultural societies, as well as processing facilities will help rural populations
to develop economic activities, which will in turn reduce rural exodus and emigration. Finally, support
will be provided to the National Casamance Reconstruction Agency (ANRAC) whose mission is mainly
to facilitate the return of the population to their land.
IV. IMPLEMENTATION
4.1. Implementation Arrangements
4.1.1. Institutional Arrangements: Established by Decree No. 2015-403 of 30 March 2015 and located in
the Prime Minister’s Office, the PUDC was organized by Prime Minister's Order No. 10386 of 19 May 2015 with
the following bodies : (i) The Steering Committee, chaired by the Prime Minister and responsible for strategic
orientation of the programme; (ii) the National Director serves as the interface between the PUDC and the technical
services of the Ministries involved in the PUDC implementation; (iii) the Technical Committee, which assists the
Steering Committee in monitoring the technical implementation of the programme under the chairmanship of the
National Director, and (iv) the Programme Management Unit (PMU), responsible for the day-to-day management
of the Programme under the supervision of a Coordinator, Secretary of the Technical Committee and responsible
for preparing technical and financial implementation reports to be submitted to the National Director. In the first
phase of the programme, the PMU was placed under the supervision of UNDP, which was responsible for
programme implementation using its own procurement and financial management rules and procedures. Given
that, the PUDC Support Project, financed by the Bank, will be implemented through national expertise, the PMU
led by a Coordinator will be placed under the supervision of the National Director of the PUDC. The National
Director will report to the Premier Minister Delegate in charge PUDC monitoring. Details on the various organs
of the institutional arrangements are given in Paragraph B of the Technical Annexes. The PMU Management Unit,
will be mainly composed of a Coordinator, experts in Rural Engineering - Value Chains, Civil Engineering, Water
Supply, Energy, Transport, Health, Procurement, Accounting, Administrative and Financial Management,
Environment, Social and Community Development, Monitoring and Evaluation, and any other human resource
required for the proper implementation of the programme. The PMU experts will be recruited or reappointed, for
those who worked in the first phase of the PUDC, on the basis of favourable assessment of their CVs by the Bank.
14
4.1.2. Procurement Procedures
Procurement: All procurements for this project will be made in accordance with the Procurement
Framework for Bank Group-financed operations of October 2015 and the provisions of the Financing
Agreement. An assessment of Senegal's public procurement system (SPMS) deemed the procurement
risk to be moderate. This generic country risk was reassessed during implementation of all activities
under the Emergency Community Development Programme Support Project (EP-CDP) to be taken into
account in determining the overall procurement risk of the project. The overall project contracting risk
level at project appraisal was deemed to be moderate. Furthermore, the SPMS will be used for the
procurement of works, goods and services of consultants for which the fiduciary risk is considered
relatively low. The Bank's Procurement Methods and Procedures (BPM) will be used for larger and more
complex works, goods, and consultancy contracts, where the country fiduciary risk is deemed substantial.
The Project Management Unit will be responsible for the procurement of all works, goods and
consultancy services under the project, and will be supported by the Procurement Unit of the Prime
Minister's Office. The PMU will have qualified procurement staff with solid experience in the
procurement of works, goods and consultancy services in accordance with the Bank's procurement
methods and procedures, and with the national public procurement system in Senegal. Given the volume
and scope of the project activities, the procurement staff will include at least one Procurement Specialist
and one Procurement Assistant to be recruited on a competitive basis or reappointed, for those who
worked in the first phase of the PUDC, on the basis of a favourable assessment of their CVs by the Bank.
Assessment of Procurement Risks and Capacities: Risk assessments at country, sector and project levels,
as well as the procurement capacities of the executing agency (EA) have been conducted and the results
were used to guide the decision on the selection of BPMs activities and the SNPM for activities where
fiduciary risk is deemed low. Appropriate risk mitigation measures have been included in the PERCA
action plan referred to in paragraph B5 of the Technical Annexes. A procurement audit will be conducted
on an annual basis by an independent firm.
Financial Management: The PMU managed by a Coordinator, which is responsible for financial
management under the supervision of the National Director of the PUDC, will have qualified financial
management staff whose capacities will be strengthened in the Bank's financial management rules and
procedures. The staff will, in addition to the Coordinator, include an Administrative and Financial Officer
and an Accountant to be recruited on a competitive basis or reappointed, for those who worked in the
first phase of the PUDC, on the basis of a favourable assessment of their CVs by the Bank. The Unit will
also need an appropriate administrative, financial and accounting procedures manual. The manual will
form the basis of the Unit’s internal control system and will cover all the project management cycles:
expenditure management cycle (procedures for the procurement of goods and services), asset
management cycle (fixed assets, inventories, etc.), treasury management cycle (authorization,
disbursement, monitoring and control of cash flows, etc.), resource mobilization cycle (calls for funds,
direct payments, etc.), accounting, financial and budgetary information cycle, personnel management
cycle, internal control and audit cycle, etc. The PMU will ensure that an integrated multi-project and
multi-post management system is put in place for proper keeping of the project's budgetary, cost and
general accounts. The general accounts must be private commitment accounts, applying SYSCOHADA
standards and taking into account the specific features of development projects.
15
Disbursements: Mobilization of the Bank's funds will follow the Bank's disbursement rules and
procedures, through the three direct payment methods for the payment of procurement contracts for
works, goods and services, the special account mainly for operating expenses, and reimbursement, where
appropriate and subject to prior authorization by the Bank. The use of the special account method will
require the opening of: (i) a special account at BCEAO in the name of the PUDC Support Project, which
will be used to mobilize the Bank's funds and under the signature of a signatory designated by the
Minister of the Economy, Finance and Planning ; and (ii) a sub-account in a commercial bank for
execution of the current expenses of the PA-PUDC under the signature of the Coordinator and the
Administrative and Financial Officer of the PMU.
Financial and Accounting Audit: Finally, the PMU will set up external audit mechanisms for the
project's financial statements and internal control system. Audits of the annual financial statements will
be conducted by independent external auditors, recruited on a competitive basis and in accordance with
terms of reference agreed with the Bank, as well as in accordance with the Bank's requirement to submit
audit reports by 30 June of the year following the year audited.
4.2. Project Monitoring
4.2.1. The project implementation will be monitored by the PMU under the supervision of the Director
of the PUDC, which will prepare quarterly progress reports on the physical and financial implementation
of the project, in accordance with the Bank's procedures. During Phase 1, the PUDC procured a high-
performance geographic information system (GIS) that will be enhanced under the project. The project's
achievements will be monitored through the logical framework indicators. The monitoring and evaluation
expert in the PMU, based on the mechanism already put in place, will monitor all the activities. The
various regional technical services of the Ministries involved in the PUDC and the Steering Committee
will regularly monitor the project's achievements in the field. In addition, within the framework of the
IEC, documents (reports, photos, documentary films, etc.) will be prepared regularly during the various
phases of the project to ensure good visibility of the actions. The information collected during project
monitoring could, if necessary, be recorded in the sector monitoring and evaluation system of the various
Ministries involved.
4.2.2. At the Bank, project monitoring will be conducted through: (i) semi-annual supervision
missions, in collaboration with the Government; (ii) quarterly activity reports submitted by the Borrower;
and (iii) annual audit reports to be submitted by the Borrower within six months following the end of
each fiscal year. The milestones in the project implementation are given below:

4.3. Governance
4.3.1. Economic and financial governance risks at national and local levels are well under control.
The location of the project within the Prime Minister's Office and the participation of all the Ministries
concerned, representatives of elected representatives, and civil society in the Steering Committee will
ensure good governance of the project. Furthermore, the commitment of the various Ministries, the
involvement of the Government's technical support structures in developing the activities of the various
components, as well as the experience gained by the project team during Phase 1 give the hope that
leadership and management will be well ensured by the various actors involved in the implementation of
Phase 2. In addition, technical partnership agreements will be concluded between the PUDC and the
various technical structures that support the project in carrying out certain activities (ANCAR, ITA,
CDH/ISRA, CLM, DGS, SENELEC, ASER, etc.). The involvement of these structures in the project
will further enhance project governance. Furthermore, Act III of decentralization, which took place in
2013, will ensure better readability of territorial governance scales by clarifying the relations between
actors and articulating the powers to be transferred to technical, financial and human resources, and
improving the mechanisms for financing territorial development and budgetary governance. Finally, the
reforms initiated with the Bank's support under the Community Development Reform Support Project
(PARDC) will contribute to better community management.
4.3.2. The national procurement system and procedures are largely in line with international
standards. There are control institutions (Court of Auditors, General State Inspectorate, National Anti-
Corruption Authority - OFNAC), and they play their roles in the various stages of the procurement of
works, goods and services. In addition, the Bank's methods and procedures will be used for procurements
that pose substantial risks if the Senegalese procurement system is used. A mechanism of accelered
processing for procurements documents will be set up, wihin the project, the concerned national
department and the Bank to allow an efficient implementation of the activities.
4.4. Sustainability
4.4.1. Project sustainability depends to a large extent on the quality of the works, adequate operating
and maintenance conditions of the infrastructure, and the degree of ownership of the works carried out
by the actors and beneficiaries. It also depends to a large extent on the willingness and commitment of
the Government, decentralized structures and local authorities to provide sustainable support for the
management of the various infrastructures and facilities that will be constructed by the project. In this
project, such willingness and commitment from the Government and other institutional actors is obvious,
as indicated in the national policy and strategy documents developed over the past few years concerning
the various sectors targeted by the project. Furthermore, the significant resources regularly allocated by
the Government through the FERA and by the municipalities for maintenance and monitoring of
infrastructure financed with their own funds demonstrate their commitment. The support provided under
the project to the local maintenance committees to be set up will ensure real ownership and sustainability
of the works, infrastructure and equipment.
4.4.2. Furthermore, part of this funding will be used for establishing maintenance mechanisms for the
structures, as well as for building the capacities of the actors and communities that will be responsible
for the maintenance component. These actions will thus further reinforce the resources already mobilized
and regularly allocated for the viability and sustainability of investments made at community level.
17
4.5. Risk Management
4.5.1. The main identified risks are: (i) delays in procurement; (ii) lack of project ownership by local
actors and beneficiaries; and (iii) poor performance of local businesses. However, these risks will be
mitigated by: (i) the fact that PMU members, particularly the procurement experts, will receive training
in AfDB procedures at project start-up; (ii) the lessons learned from Phase 1 by the PUDC and the steps
already taken by the various local administrations and organizations involved in community development
(Regional Governments, Sub-Prefectures, ARD, NGOs, etc.) to facilitate ownership of the programme.
These measures will be reinforced under the project to ensure stronger ownership of the programme by
the population.
4.6. Knowledge Building
4.6.1. The studies to be conducted under this project will help to adjust the policies and strategies of
the sectors concerned. Thus, the results of the study on the cost of hunger will provide information on
the economic cost of hunger in Senegal, and will serve as advocacy tools for the food and nutritional
security sector. Assessing the poverty impact and updating the database of the most vulnerable people
will strengthen mechanisms for taking into account the most vulnerable groups and adopting more
sustained poverty reduction strategies. In addition, the operational and participatory monitoring and
evaluation system to be established will generate a database on the status of the sectors concerned in the
project areas. In addition, the integrated approach under the PA-PUDC will provide a reference model in
the implementation of a minimum package of services at community level. Indeed, this integrated
approach incorporates the development of agricultural value chains (including nutritional security), the
population’s access to energy (including clean energy), access to basic social services (health-water-
sanitation), and rural roads. The approach also incorporates the participation of the most vulnerable
people through social protection mechanisms to identify them.
4.6.2. The establishment of key impact indicators before project start-up and the assessment of
outcomes at project completion will produce useful information on the project's effects and impacts. The
various experiences to be gained from the project implementation will serve as references for the
Government of Senegal and the Bank. As regards the Borrower, the project will enable PUDC experts
and other structures involved in the project to acquire knowledge in the Bank's procedures with the
assistance of the Bank's Dakar Office (COSN).
