Senegal Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project 2 (PROGEP2)
Ref. NDF C137
NDF grant EUR 7.1 million
Project Period: 2021–2026
Partner Agency: World Bank (WB)
Implementing Agency: Municipal Development Agency (ADM)
Objective
The development objective of the project is to reduce flood risks in peri-urban areas of Dakar and improve capacity to plan integrated urban flood risks management for selected cities in Senegal. The specific objectives are to:
-
Enhance the capacity of the central and local governments to prepare and implement urban projects informed by climate-resilient urban plans, drainage master plans, and flood risk management plans in four areas of the Dakar region;
-
Systematise and promote good practices for integrated urban climate resilience management through pilot studies and demonstration projects of innovative nature-based solutions;
-
Augment climate-resilient sanitation approaches in the peri-urban settlements in terms of smart combinations of on-site sanitation and piped sewerage; and
-
Promote measures for reducing the gender gap, involving the private sector and generating and disseminating knowledge.
The following outcomes are expected:
-
Validate planning documents related to urban resilience and sustainability including climate change comprising the Urban Development Plan (PUD) accompanied by a Drainage Master Plan (PDD) and an integrated Flood Risk Management Plan (PGRI).
-
The General Directorate of Town Planning and Architecture (DGUA) actively performs its role, including cooperation with ADM, in management of the project.
-
Knowledge generated on the use of innovative and green flood control measures, integrated resilient urban development plans, and how these can contribute to reducing the gender gap.
-
Implementation of the communication plan results in increased awareness, tools and use of opportunities for actions to increase climate resilience of people at local and central levels.
-
Key stakeholders involved in climate change adaptation trained.
-
Innovative peri-urban sanitation solutions like optimal combinations of on-site and piped systems embedded in investment projects.
Financing
The total project cost estimate is EUR 152.3 million. NDF is providing EUR 7.1 million as a grant while the WB and the Government of Senegal provides USD 155.0 million and USD 8.7 million respectively.
