The Ministry of Water and Sanitation (MEA) is the project manager of the PGIIS and a Project Management Unit has been set up and housed in the Directorate of Flood Prevention and Management (DPGI).
The workshop held on November 17, 2022 is part of the PGIIS component 1, and aims at reinforcing the knowledge of the flood risk at the national scale and on priority intervention areas, then at communicating to institutions and the general public, and at raising their awareness of the flood risk through mapping. The data produced will also be used to support the implementation of an effective early warning system and better governance.
The event took place in the Habib Thiam Ministerial Spheres in Diamniadio. The Senegalese Country Water Partnership (PNES), as a member of the Steering Committee of the Integrated Flood Management Project in Senegal, participated in this workshop to share and validate the deliverables of the national flood risk mapping.
Chaired by the Minister of Water and Sanitation, the workshop provided an opportunity to share with the various stakeholders involved in flood management, the progress of the project and the activities of the national phase carried out so far.
