Senegal to distribute agricultural resilience payments in Ziguinchor
Headline and summary by local AI
The Directorate General for Social Protection and National Solidarity (DGPSN) will begin distributing payments under the Agricultural Resilience Program (PRA) in Ziguinchor, Senegal, on November 7, 2026.
The ministry of Family, Social Action and Solidarity will oversee the ceremony to provide financial support to rural households. The program targets households of fishermen, farmers, and livestock breeders who are registered in the Unique National Register. This register helps the government identify beneficiaries for social protection initiatives.
The payments aim to support rural communities whose livelihoods face risks from economic and climate factors. The PRA combines direct cash transfers with assistance to help residents access subsidized inputs. This initiative follows a previous launch in Foundiougne on September 20, where the program supported 16,037 rural households. Since 2018, the project has focused on strengthening the livelihoods of populations in rural areas through adaptive social protection.
