      abstract = {Senegal, a country in West Africa and home to over 16  million people is highly vulnerable to the impacts of  climate change, which interacts with existing environmental  and socio-economic challenges. It is a water-scarce  country. Decreasing rainfall frequent and intense droughts  are exacerbating water-related impacts of climate change  with vulnerable communities in rural areas bearing the  highest burden of these impacts. Although agriculture is an  important contributor to Senegal’s economy, it is largely  rain-fed, thus increasing its vulnerability to the impacts  of climate change. Against the backdrop of the increasing  impacts of climate change, the CGIAR Initiative on Climate  Resilience is setting up a polycentric governance model to  enhance resilience against the impacts of climate change in  Senegal. The study is part of a broader project titled  Building Systemic Resilience Against Climate Variability  and Extremes (ClimBeR). ClimBeR comprises four work  modules: (1) reducing the risks associated with climate  change for agricultural production systems and livelihoods;  (2) strengthening the resilience of production systems by  recognizing the links between climate, agriculture,  security and peace; (3) Developing adaptation tools to  inform policy and facilitate investment; (4)  Conceptualizing a polycentric and bottom-up governance  model. ClimBeR aims to strengthen climate resilience in  low- and middle-income countries. This report presents the  outcome of a stakeholder workshop held on 11 July 2023 as  part of the project implementation. The workshop aimed to  inform stakeholders about ClimBeR, share the preliminary  results of the mapping exercise which culminated in an  inventory of 31 promising, resilient, transformative  adaptation interventions in Senegal, and select 3-4  promising, resilient and transformative adaptation  interventions in Senegal from a shortlist of 8  interventions. At the end of the workshop, 4 adaptation  interventions, including one recommended by the  stakeholders outside the 8 preselected interventions were  selected. All the selected projects operate across spatial  scales with various stakeholders, including households,  community members, civil society and non-governmental  organisations, and government officials. Three projects  focused on food security, while the fourth focused on  natural resource management. The next phase of the project  entails a detailed mapping of the selected interventions.},
