Senegal
PAGE in Senegal
In recent years, Senegal has established itself as one of West Africa’s economic hubs and, in the process, made significant strides towards improving the well-being of its population. Nevertheless, with much of its territory classified as semi-arid, the country is especially vulnerable to climate change impacts. As a large share of the population relies heavily on natural capital for their livelihood, committing to a green and inclusive economy is key to developmental success. In October 2022, Senegal celebrated eight years of PAGE collaboration after joining the partnership in 2014. It is now a Graduating Country.
