End of July: The full BRACED application has been submitted, the result of six months of intense collaboration between project partners. Working closely in interdisciplinary working groups with partners from diverse fields, including community organisations, research institutions, national NGOs, government ministries and international consultancies, proved essential to fully develop the project’s innovative, integrated approach. Each partner brought a unique and essential perspective to the issue of urban flooding in Senegal; the combination of these made for a highly creative and innovative process of project development.
