closed

The objective of the Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project for Senegal is to improve stormwater drainage and flood prevention in periurban areas of Dakar for the benefit of local residents. There are four components to the project, the first component being flood risk mainstreaming in the urban sector. The component will provide for: (i) consultant services and technical assistance; (ii) goods and small equipment, including GIS-equipment, computers, and office equipment; and (iii) carrying out training and capacity building activities including travel costs related to south-south exchanges. The second component is the drainage investment and management. The component will provide for consultant services (hydraulic, urban planning) and technical assistance in form of an Implementation Support Consultant (ISC) team assisting the Municipal Development Agency (MDA) and municipalities with implementation and detailed feasibility and technical studies. The third component is the community engagement in urban flood-risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. The component will provide for consultant services for the development of the information, education and communication (IEC) strategy and tools as well as technical assistance for carrying out the development, implementation and monitoring of the community investments (social facilitator). Finally, the fourth component is the project coordination, management, monitoring and evaluation.
