GFDRR Country Evaluation: Senegal

This report is the second GFDRR Country Evaluation. A GFDRR Country Evaluation is intended to promote evidence-based accountability and improve performance by learning through experience, helping GFDRR to understand if it is achieving the results it intends through its programs. Senegal was selected for this evaluation as one of the longest running GFDRR programs in Africa, which therefore has had sufficient time to generate and assess the downstream results that GFDRR has contributed to. The evaluation covers GFDRR activities related to Senegal approved over 2011-2025, and assesses the relevance, coherence, and effectiveness of GFDRR activities. This evaluation is based on a desk review of GFDRR grant progress and completion reports, and World Bank project documents including project appraisal documents, implementation and supervision reports, and implementation completion and results reports, and on interviews with 23 World Bank staff, and government officials from 7 entities as well as beneficiaries, development partners, and other stakeholders. The evaluation included a mission to Dakar, Senegal, in February 2026, to interview government counterparts and World Bank local staff.
