Improving early warnings of cascading risks to food security in Senegal

Abstract

This policy brief presents findings from the Senegal case study under the Early Warning and early Action for Cascading risks to food security (EWAC) project. Senegal faces persistent food insecurity driven by climate-related hazards such as droughts, floods, and coastal risks, compounded by economic shocks and weak infrastructure. The brief highlights the urgent need for inclusive, multi-hazard early warning systems that integrate social and economic dimensions, reach local communities, and support timely, equitable action. Strengthening such systems is vital to enhance resilience and safeguard food security in Senegal.
