Notice of Determination

Ottawa – January 30, 2023 – Global Affairs Canada has determined that the proposed project Development of market gardening perimeters, located in the department of Bounkiling in the region of Sedhiou in Senegal, is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• Community knowledge and implicated actors;
• Comments received from the public; and
• Technically and economically feasible mitigation measures.

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:

• Identification of the environmental risks and opportunities of the planned installations and/or rehabilitation;
