PROGEDE MOVING TOWARDS ALLEVIATING PROGEDE MOVING TOWARDS ALLEVIATING ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS AND POVERTY ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS AND POVERTY

INTRODUCTION : CONTEXT AND APPROACH

n A View: Senegal is a country whose natural resources are under considerable strain

n Rapid population growth, increasingdemand for natural goods andservices;

n Innefficient carbonizationtechniques;

n Non sustainable forest resourcesmanagement practices;

INTRODUCTION : CONTEXT AND APPROACH

n To minimize further environmental degradation, the senegalese government with the financial support and the committment of the World Bank identified and formulated a project to addressthe critical problem of rapidlydecreasing traditional householdfuel;

INTRODUCTION : CONTEXT AND APPROACH

n Transfer the responsability of forestmanagement and exploitation of forestresources to the rural communities.

n The Sustainable and Participatory Energy Management Project is directed towards: community based sustainable forest management; introduction of efficient carbonization techniques; promotion of improved woodfuel stoves and interfuel substitution.

INTRODUCTION : CONTEXT AND APPROACH

PROGEDE (SPEMP): Pioneer in Poverty Alleviation

n In its sphere of influence, theSPEMP seeks to adapt the people’sneeds to environmental realities.

n The SPEMP is committed to theEconomic Development of Rural population but in way that isenvironmentally sustainable andsocially equitable.

PERSPECTIVES: MULTISECTORIAL DYNAMIC AND CONTRIBUTION TO ALLEVIATING POVERTY

n The Project would sustainably produce some 860 000 tons of fuelwood over six years period expected to generate US $16.142.400

n Farming and Pastoral Activities are expected to generate income of US $300 000 (2003).

n The multisectorial activities will generategross income of US$ 16.207.900 for the45.000 people living in 250 villages.

With regard to 2003 Work Plan , the following achievements are expected:

n Drilling of 30 wells in managed areas and their equipment with solar pumps. Boosting milk production to 20 000 l, increasing honey production to 7 000 l

n Promoting modern use of energy with the installation small unit generating energy from biomass combustion.
