The World Bank and the government identified a number of technical notes and training sessions tailored to the immediate needs of the government. This Senegal safety net assessment integrates and summarizes the content of these technical notes. Poverty is a serious concern in the country, with the economy displaying significant vulnerabilities. While the government has been quick to respond to past crises, some of the measures taken by the government have had certain drawbacks. Also, factors such as poorly targeted support and rising prices have detracted from the efforts taken by the government. A well designed and implemented national safety net system is thus of utmost importance. This document examines the various factors involved in the creation and implementation of a well-designed safety net system for Senegal.Fin 2010, la Banque mondiale a lancé, en collaboration avec le Gouvernement du Sénégal, un programme d'assistance technique sur la protection sociale, tout particulièrement les filets sociaux. La Banque mondiale et le Gouvernement ont identifié plusieurs notes techniques et séances de formation « juste à temps » adaptées aux besoins immédiats du Gouvernement qui devaient être réalisées dans ce cadre. Cette Évaluation des filets sociaux au Sénégal introduit et résume le contenu de ces notes techniques. Au Sénégal, la pauvreté reste élevée et a stagné ces dernières années. Au plan national, l'économie est fréquemment affectée par des chocs importants qui ont des effets sur la croissance économique. Le Gouvernement et les partenaires internationaux clés ont conclu que la mise en place d'un système de filets sociaux ciblés était préférable à la poursuite des subventions générales des prix. La Revue des programmes de filets sociaux a identifié 12 programmes actuellement mis en œuvre par le Gouvernement au début de la décennie. En réponse à la priorité accrue accordée aux filets sociaux par le Gouvernement, des efforts supplémentaires seront nécessaires pour faire en sorte que le système national de filets sociaux sénégalais repose sur un cadre institutionnel efficace. Il sera essentiel que les programmes dispersés fassent place à une approche système. La coordination des politiques et des actions liées au développement du système de protection sociale devra favoriser l'harmonisation et l'intégration des programmes et soutenir le développement de dispositifs opérationnels communs (en particulier pour ce qui est des mécanismes de ciblage et de registre central) ou cohérents et compatiblesen-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SCHOOLINGACCESS TO SERVICESACUTE MALNUTRITIONAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL SHOCKSAGRICULTURAL SUPPORTANTI-POVERTYANTI-POVERTY PROGRAMSASSISTANCE PROGRAMSBASIC FOODSTUFFSBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH GRANTSCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCHILD LABORCHILD MORTALITYCHILD NUTRITIONCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCHRONIC POVERTYCLIMATE CHANGECOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMUNITY ASSETSCONDITIONAL CASHCOPING STRATEGIESCOVARIATE SHOCKSCROP VARIETIESDISTRIBUTION CHANNELSDROUGHTDROUGHT RISKDROUGHT YEARSECONOMIC CRISESECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DOWNTURNSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC RECESSIONECONOMIC SHOCKSEDUCATIONAL SUPPORTEMERGENCY FOODEMERGENCY SITUATIONSEMPLOYMENT GUARANTEEEMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE SCHEMEEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEXOGENOUS SHOCKSEXTERNAL RESOURCESEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY SUPPORTFARMERSFEE WAIVERSFINANCIAL DIFFICULTIESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOOD AIDFOOD ASSISTANCEFOOD AVAILABILITYFOOD BASKETFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD COUPONSFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD NEEDSFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PROCESSINGFOOD PROGRAMFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUBSIDIESFORMAL CREDITGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONSHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICESHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITYHOUSINGHOUSING ASSISTANCEHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN CAPITAL FORMATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIDENTIFICATION OF BENEFICIARIESIMPACT ON POVERTYIMPACT ON POVERTY REDUCTIONINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GENERATIONINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME SHOCKSINEQUALITYINFORMAL CREDITINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTEREST RATE SUBSIDIESLABOR MARKET POLICIESLEAKAGE OF BENEFITSLEAN SEASONLIMITED CAPACITYLOSS OF INCOMEMALNUTRITIONMEANS TESTMEANS TESTINGMICRO-FINANCEMICRO-FINANCE INSTITUTIONSMILKNATIONAL COVERAGENATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINENATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNUTRITION PROGRAMNUTRITIONAL SUPPORTOLD AGEPENSIONPENSIONSPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOVERTY STATUSPOVERTY TRAPSPRENATAL CAREPRICE SUBSIDIESPRIVATE INSURANCEPROGRAM COVERAGEPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION SYSTEMPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSPURCHASING POWERREPEATED SHOCKSRISK AVERSIONRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MITIGATIONRISK POOLINGRURALRURAL AREASRURAL CREDITRURAL DISTRICTSRURAL FAMILIESRURAL FINANCERURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INCOMESRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL POVERTYRURAL PRODUCERSRURAL REGIONSSAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL LUNCHESSCHOOLINGSHOCKSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL CONTRACTSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WELFARESUPPORT PROGRAMTARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTAX EXEMPTIONSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETEMPORARY EMPLOYMENTTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSIENT POORTRANSIENT SHOCKSUNEMPLOYMENTVOUCHERSVULNERABLE AREASVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWORK PROGRAMSWORKS PROGRAM10.1596/17575
