Description
SI-CLIMAT intervenes with a composite and multidisciplinary partnership in three regions of Senegal, to support participatory and integrated institutional processes aimed at the development of Local climate change Adaptation Plans and the execution of concrete adaptation actions. The initiative is based on the territorial partnership between the local administrations of the project target territories (Ville de Thiès, Ville de Pikine and Commune de Toubacouta) and the Emilia-Romagna Region and the partner territorial authorities (Liguria Region, Abruzzo Region, Municipality of Parma), which finds concrete application in the exchange of good practices, in the transfer of experiences and in the accompaniment of the Senegalese partners by the Italian partners in the identification of endogenous solutions suitable for the territory for the planning of adaptation to climate change. With the ultimate objective of contributing to the general improvement of planning and management mechanisms related to climate change in the Senegalese cities of Pikine, Thiès and Toubacouta (SDG 13.b), SI-CLIMAT focuses on strengthening participatory, democratic and sustainable processes of territorial planning of climate adaptation measures in the target territories (SDG 11.3). It promotes the establishment of multi-actor Consultation Tables that define in a participatory manner and in an integrated and sustainable perspective the climate change adaptation planning tools that each territory needs, based on the path already undertaken. Therefore, the Ville de Thiès is supported in drafting the Local climate change Adaptation Plan, and the Municipality of Toubacouta in the formulation of projects (technical sheets) that implement the strategies of its Local Adaptation Plan; the Ville de Pikine, already equipped with a Local Adaptation Plan complete with concrete projects, is supported in the implementation of an action envisaged by the Plan. In all these actions, the initiative offers strong attention to the valorisation of the natural areas present in the territories: in Pikine, the action of the Plan implemented will be the reforestation of the peri-urban forest of Mbao, while in Toubacouta it will be valorised in the projects linked to the Plan, as well as with specific support actions on the topic of biodiversity protection, the presence in the territory of the Bamboung Community Marine Protected Area. To ensure the endogeneity of the actions in each territory, SI-CLIMAT offers the administrative and technical staff of the targeted administrations a structured training program, created and managed by the Italian and Senegalese partner Universities and also including job-shadowing experiences with Italian institutional partners. SI-CLIMAT focuses on the effective participation of civil society in the target territories in the process of defining the planning tools for adaptation to climate change, with specific attention to the involvement of women and girls, and the groups most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In fact, thanks to the collaboration of Emilia-Romagna and local CSOs, the initiative proposes in each target territory paths for activating the various expressions of organized civil society and processes for strengthening the capacity of CSOs to act as intermediaries between the public administration and citizens on the topic of adaptation to climate change.
