Saloum Islands are situated in the South west of Senegal, near the coastline. These fishing communities have been suffering from the effect of climate change; especially women who are at the heart of the activities in the community. Through a community centered approach, the West and Northern Africa Hub and OSM Senegal have created a partnership with REFEPAS (Senegalese Network of Artisanal Fishing Women), to develop solutions using open mapping. This presentation will talk about the journey of this project with women from Saloum Islands.
