Climate change has already led to ecosystem degradation in the Dead Sine Valley. Multiple droughts and the rising sea level have increased the salinization of land and water resources. Yields and farm incomes have declined. The capacity to adapt to extreme weather events that worsen from year to year is strongly constrained. These impacts have been the driving force behind the development of this project, which aims to strengthen the resilience of the communities in the Dead Sine Valley towards climate change. The project will be implemented by the Department of Agriculture in collaboration with ANPDI and ARD of Fatick.
