Invitation
Join us for our upcoming webinar on "Promoting Decent Work in the Horticulture Sector in Senegal."
The horticulture sector is a vital component of Senegal's economy, producing key crops such as onions, tomatoes, green beans, mangoes, and cashew nuts. These crops are predominantly grown in three major regions: the Senegal River Valley, Casamance, and Niayes. Collectively, these five sub-sectors represent 40% of Senegal’s horticultural production. These are vital export commodities, but they also support the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of workers. Improving decent work conditions in these sectors will create a significant economic and social impact, benefitting workers, their families, and communities.
As part of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs' aid and trade initiative, Senegal has been identified as a priority “combi” country. The horticulture sector has been chosen as a key area for fostering sustainable development, fair working conditions, and improving food security.
To contribute to these goals, CNV Internationaal, MEYS Emerging Markets Research, and Nafifu SARL conducted a qualitative study on decent work in Senegal's horticultural sub-sectors. This webinar will present the research findings, followed by an engaging session for discussion, Q&A, and knowledge sharing.
