The department of Selibaby hosted a meeting to evaluate interventions carried out in the departments of Selibaby, Mbout and Ould Yenge, including the distribution of seeds and farming equipment and financial assistance to farmers, to mitigate the effects of low rainfall.
Participants discussed ways to develop these interventions and to use climate indicators to anticipate crises before they occur, as well as coordination among the actors involved and ensuring support reaches the most vulnerable households.
These efforts are supported by the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund, in coordination with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), amid increasingly erratic rainy seasons and the challenges they pose to food security in the region.
