Work experience
Since 1994, I worked with ENDA, particularly in managing projects and in networking. I was involved in many programmes amongst others, the programme “Hope in the Desert” implemented by ENDA in partnership with Red Cross Senegal and Denmark, in Ferlo, the Northern Senegal sylvo-pastoral area. I have contributed as a consultant in the two reports of “Synthesis and preliminary analysis of the information contained in reports submitted by affected African country Parties” at the CRIC-1, 2002 and CRIC-3, 2005. My work in the field has extended to starting up and maintaining RIOD, the International NGOs' Network on Desertification. I work on projects related also to UNFCCC process, adaptation and food security. I have worked from 2005 to 2007 in a programme of Multifunction Platform (MPF) lead by UNDP to alleviate women work in Senegal and published the booklet “The faces of energy-related poverty as seen through the eyes of women and men in Senegal”; Thematic areas: Desertification Biodiversity,Communication-Adapatation- Environmental Managment- Sustainable Land Managment- Traditional Knowledge - rural development- Policy analysis Conservation_x000D_
