Humanitarian context
Food crises in the Sahelian belt, caused by alternating drought and flooding, affect parts of Senegal, while 70% of the population is employed in the agricultural sector.
The deterioration of the livelihoods of families has implications for children's schooling and nutrition. The vulnerability of children in a country where 55% of the population is under 18 is strong. About 290,000 children attend Coranic schools (daara) outside the school system.
