The African Development Bank Donates $20 Million to Strengthen Food Security and Increase Incomes of Small Producers in Senegal

The Board of Directors of the African Development Bank Group granted a donation of $20 million to Senegal, in Abidjan on Tuesday 5 March 2024, to implement the Post-Covid Food and Nutrition Security Enhancement Project (PRESAN-PC), designed to increase the agricultural production and incomes of vulnerable women and young people over the long term.

The Bank’s financial support comes from the Global Agriculture & Food Security Program (GASFP), a multilateral fund aimed at improving incomes and food security for vulnerable populations in developing countries by increasing the volume and quality of investments made in the public and private sectors.
