Perspectives

PES and the Rural World

The results of the activity of the Emergency Community Development Programme (PUDC) are very satisfactory. Intended for particularly disadvantaged rural communities, the initial phase of this national programme has providing funded to the tune of $113 billion FCFA for drilling, water towers and rural roads.

PRODAC

The Community Agricultural Domain Programme (DAC) aims to create more than 300,000 jobs within 5 years.

Séfa

The Séfa DAC, located in the villages of Diendé and Koussy in the Shiou region, covers 2,000 hectares having been the subject of deliberations by the said villages and approved by the sub-prefect. Agricultural activities started in August 2014, with, in particular, the production of corn. The drilling, which is under way, fish ponds, test station and delimited autonomous units make this DAC a "hub" for the production of seeds.

Itato

It is between the hills of Bandafassi and falls of Dindifélo, in the region of Kedougou, that the Itato DAC has sprung up with the first fish station in Senegal. This Community Agricultural Domaine governs 1,000 hectares, voted by the Communal Council of Bandafassi. Market gardening completes the chain of production over more than ten hectares. Activities were started in 2014 and people are now enjoying the first harvests of fish sold on the market.

Perspectives

PES and Access to Water

The results of the Programme to drill 300 wells, launched in 2013, prove that access to water is a constant preoccupation for the Government, with 223 construction projects, including 210 wells and 13 pumping stations, which have allowed 630,000 people to be touched. This ambitious policy has provided the sub-sector with genuine results in terms of MDGs, with an improved rate of access in rural areas of 86.6%, or 4.6 points above the objectives.

made in 2016 in the field of urban hydraulics. With the launch of the KMS3 drinking water treatment plant at a cost of 274.2 billion FCFA, the Government is trying to sustainably resolve Dakar’s water supply.

This institutional measure is completed by the new sea water desalination plant at Mamelles (with a renewal of 460 km of pipes in Dakar), launched by Japan for 135 billion FCFA and another desalination plant on the Grande Côte, towards Lac Rose (with a similar capacity of 5,000 m3/day).

As well, these three projects will contribute to making available a volume of 300,000 m3/day, covering, in particular, the needs of Dakar, Diamniadio and the Petite Côte until 2035. To this effect, the State is in the process of mobilising investments to the tune of 460 billion FCFA to succeed in the challenge to achieve sustainable universal access.

Projects completed in Dakar

  • 36 wells and 17 water towers

  • 38 well drills

  • Three pumping stations

  • 56,616 social connections

  • Renewal of 23,208 social connections

The Water and Sanitation Programme in Urban Areas (PEAMU), launched by the IDA to the tune of 25 billion FCFA, aims to produce an extra 20,000 m3/day for Dakar from Tassette and 15,000m3/day for the Petite Côte area. As well as the achievement of 20,000 social connections.

For the towns in the interior, the implementation of two projects (urban PEPAM and the Emergency Programme) has allowed 131,280 people to have access to water.

In the sanitation sub-sector, today, the emphasis is being placed on structuring projects:

  • Renewal of sanitation networks in the old districts of Dakar, the towns of Fatick, Joal-Fadhiouth, Ziguinchor and Kaffrine, with the achievement of 303 km of networks, 14 pumping stations, 14,970 connections, 3 waste water treatment stations and 5 stations for the treatment of sewage sludge

  • Achievement of 9,667 km of canals, 26 pumping stations, 20 km of back flow gravity pipes and 7 storm water storage pools (sheltering 271,920 people from flooding)

  • Upgrading of the capacity of the Cambérène purification station to 52,000 m3/day

  • Renewal of the Hann Manifold and sanitation of the Cité Soleil

  • Sanitation in Dakar, Rufisque, Pikine, Saint-Louis, Kaolack, Matam, Tambacounda, Touba, Tivaouane and Louga

  • Implementation of the Bay of Hann depollution project at a cost of 43.8 billion FCFA and the northern Dakar sanitation project for 42.5 billion FCFA

  • Continuation of the ten-year anti-flood plan

All the reforms aiming to achieve the Sustainable Development Objectives (SDO), on the basis of the consolidated gains of the Millennium Development Objectives (MDO), are thus undertaken by the Government: an ambition translated into a medium-term investment plan of 274 billion FCFA.
