Overview
Senegal has embarked on a process of developing satellite environmental accounts as part of the sustainable development agenda, whose policy has been implemented for several years.
As part of this exercise, Senegal hopes to benefit from technical assistance from the Economic Commission for Africa and the United Nations Environment Program. Thus, following the workshop on methodological frameworks held from January 29 to February 1, 2018, a workshop to strengthen capacity building in the environmental accounts was organized.
The objective of this workshop was to build the capacity of Technical Committee members in the development of environmental satellite accounts. As part of the workshop, participants were trained in the development of physical accounts (forests and timber resources, land management, water resources), environmental goods and services accounts, and finalize the filling of the self-assessment tool for environmental statistics.
At the end of the workshop, the members of the technical committee were better equipped to prepare the accounts. In the future, an inventory of the availability of environmental statistics will be made.
