Abstract
French version available in IDRC Digital Library: Sénégal : un observatoire régional pour l'adaptation des producteurs aux changements climatiques à Thiès, SénégalThis bulletin describes how farmers’ access to information needs to change. The project “InfoClim” led by Senegal’s Ecological Monitoring Centre (CSE) has established a participatory multi-stakeholder platform, known as an “observatory,” to collect and share information. In the new climatic context in the Sahel, farmers must adjust their norms and practices. The frequency of droughts from the beginning of the rainy season calls into question once-relevant common wisdom such as “one must sow as soon it rains.” Planning tools at national, regional and local levels must incorporate climate change adaptation mechanisms in the short, medium and long terms
