Although
Senegal is not considered as an emergency country, over the past 2
years it had to face significant humanitarian situations due to diverse
emergencies. The 2010/2012 Sahelian nutritional crisis has hit Senegal
significantly with increased Malnutrition in the Northeastern parts of
the country. The results of the 2010 DHS results have shown that
stunting rate among children under-five has increased from 16% to 27%
while wasting prevalence has risen from 7% to 10% since 2005. In 2012,
data from a SMART survey have revealed that wasting prevalence among
children under-five was still high – at 9% - while 17% of them were
stunted. Studies have also highlighted a deterioration of household food
security over the last few years thus impacting on resilience capacity
of households.
In addition to the above, the country is
susceptible to humanitarian crises due to droughts, floods, diseases
outbreaks. In an environment susceptible to disasters, it is imperative
to maintain a preparedness capacity and ensure optimal monitoring of
humanitarian response performance.
