Streamlining the Senegal River: Environmental Improvement Projects in the Sahel from 1800 to Present Day (2023 Global Health Case Competition)

Presenter: 
John Cropper, Assistant Professor, College of Charleston
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Fri, 10/13/2023 - 14:30

Since the nineteenth century, the West has targeted the Senegal River Valley as an ideal location for environmental and agricultural improvement projects. In the early 1800s, French trading companies hoped to transform the Lower Senegal Valley into a massive plantation economy – one that would replace the devastating loss of Saint-Domingue to the Haitian Revolution.
