Senegal Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project 2 (PROGEP2) [NDF C137]

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.

PROGEP2 is a continuation to the Senegal Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project (PROGEP1) implemented in 2012-2021. NDF supported the project with EUR 7.0 million in grant financing.
