RESUME
Senegal, a coastal country in the semi-arid Sahel region, faces significant risks associated with climate variability and climate change. Climate change is already affecting vulnerable people’s wellbeing and it’s expected to contribute to the (re)emergence of vector-borne, some water-borne and heat-related diseases, which will have disastrous consequences on the country’s fragile health system and socio-economically vulnerable population. Our contribution to the National Adaptation Plan support Project – Global Environment Fund (NAP-GEF) aims to support community- based epidemiological surveillance and the design/maintenance of health information systems in order to improve planning, decision-making, and public health response. Our methodological approach aims to build a detailed climate and health database to describe the spatio-temporal characteristics of the climate-health relationships at national scale. Considering various indices of targeted diseases, we assess the degree of transmission of those diseases in Senegal for different historical period (1950-2014 and projections (2015-2100) based on a combination of the Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs) produced within the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 6 (CMIP6). Selected diseases include malaria, meningitis, dengue and Chronic – non communicable to heat waves. The project will strengthen institutional capacity to mainstream climate related risks within the Ministry of Health’s strategies and governance model, enabling a public health system framework to support long-term and sustainable adaptation funding and programs. The project is being implemented jointly with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MEDD) and the Ministry of Health and Social Action (MSAS). The findings in the project will guide and operationalize community-based early-warning systems and adaptation strategies specific to local climate-sensitive diseases in targeted regions in Senegal, which will feed into the national health prevention, response, and care strategies adapted to the needs of local communities. Development of scientific evidence and a knowledge management system get started in this study about the links between climate change and health through the launch of studies in collaboration with research institutions. However, barriers or limitations to integrating climate change data and information into health policies have also been identified
