This study aims to analyse how the Economic Partnership Agreements currently under negotiation between the EU and West Africa impact on the Senegalese fishing sector, on the population's food security and particularly on the livelihoods of women. The study focuses on the role played by the EU and the role it plays in overexploiting Senegal's marine resources, before dealing with the burning issue of the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). The study confirms that years of over-exploitation of fishing resources have seriously affected the food security of millions of Senegalese who, directly or indirectly, depend on fishing for their survival. The study recommends the suspension of EPA negotiations and the drafting of development agreements with the European Union that would support the Senegalese government in developing and implementing fisheries protection policies and measures to support those people whose food security has been hardest hit by over-fishing. The report concludes that the Senegalese government must stand firm in refusing to sign these agreements.
