In 2011, the government undertook to increase nutrition funding year-on-year, to reach 2.8 billion CFA francs per year in 2015. Mobilisation of resources for specifically nutrition-related activities was satisfactory with regard to this commitment. Monitoring the resources mobilised has improved visibility now that the Ministry of Finance is decisively implicated in the process. However, the needs of all sectors still remain to be precisely identified.
The donors/United Nations System platform has provided technical and financial support for the implementation of the REACH and Global Alliance for Resilience (AGIR) initiatives in Senegal. It will also provide technical and financial support for the creation of the National Nutrition Policy. However, the absence of a CCR is preventing any real progress being made with process 4.
An advocacy plan to bring the State, local authorities, partners, civil society, etc., to allocate more financial resources to the nutrition and food security sectors is currently being developed under the civil society pilot project.
