## 1. Introduction
### 1.1 Background
Senegal is navigating increasing food security and nutrition challenges due to climate pressures, reliance on food imports, and unequal regional resilience. This report integrates demographic, nutrition, affordability, and vulnerability indicators to provide a clear picture for policymakers, NGOs, and community planners.
### 1.2 Purpose of the Report – Why this Dashboard Matters
Over the past five years, the country has added nearly **2.5 million people**, while climate shocks, rising food prices, and growing import dependence have placed unprecedented stress on households.
- National food supply ↑ **18% since 2019**, but access to adequate nutrition remains unequal.
- Cost of a healthy diet = **20% of household income**, pushing poorest families into malnutrition.
- **300,000 children are stunted** across the country.
Regional inequalities are stark:
- **Dakar** → structurally low vulnerability, but in *emergency* food security status (urban fragility).
- **Kolda, Tambacounda, Matam, Kédougou** → high composite vulnerability (CVI > 0.6).
Trade patterns deepen the crisis: imports ↑ from **1.7M tonnes (2019)** → **2.65M tonnes (2022)**, while exports fell.
👉 This dashboard reframes the question from *“How much food does Senegal have?”* to *“Who is being left behind, and why?”*
