Projet Ecovillages
The Ecovillages Project monitored by the Agence Nationale des Écovillages du Sénégal was implemented in 2008 and promotes a participatory model of enforcing ecological, solidary and sustainable development by preserving rural ecosystems, reducing climate-change induced socioeconomic disruptions and favorizing food self-sufficiency.
Multidimensional Poverty Index
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for Senegal is 0.384. The MPI is an international measure of acute poverty covering 109 countries. The MPI reflects the multiple deprivations that poor people face at the same time in three dimensions: health, education and living standards. The MPI reflects both the incidence or headcount ratio (H) of poverty – the proportion of the population that is multidimensionally poor – and the average intensity (A) of their poverty – the average proportion of indicators in which poor people are deprived. More information on the MPI in Senegal is available here.
