Senegal

This map provides an overview of Senegal, highlighting regional boundaries, regional and departmental capitals, as well as major roads, rivers, lakes, and protected areas.

The Matam region, targeted by the SPRINT-Sen project, is outlined in red in the north-eastern part of the country, on the border with Mauritania. It includes key departments such as Matam, Kanel, and Ranérou. This Sahelian region, marked by extreme climatic conditions, is at the heart of the project's challenges related to health, climate resilience, and population vulnerability.The map also illustrates the distribution of protected areas at the national level, including nature reserves and national parks, highlighting the importance of environmental preservation in the context of sustainable development.
