Campagne 1974-1975. Vol. 1. Dakar: ORSTOM, July 1975, 107 p.
First volume in a series of three, evaluating the third
year of the New Lands Settlement project in eastern Senegal.
Progress of the project (settlement, infrastructure, demography,
extension and credit, etc.) and the results of the 1974-75
agricultural campaign for both settlement villages and original
villages in the region. Economic results for the year are
remarkably good with an increase in the area cultivated per
capita. On the other hand, this increase in area raised the
question of where to find additional land and suggests the need
for a rather intensive farming system in the new area. Also a
cereal market is considered a prerequisite to intensifying
production systems.

Attempts to assess the first three years of a settlement

pressure in the Groundnut Basin. The objectives of the project
are outlined, followed by a description of the project zone, the
execution of the settlement program, the characteristics of the
migrants, the demographic situation of the new villages as well
as the development of the new lands. Finally, agricultural and
economic results and social relations are assessed for 1972-1975.
The objective in terms of number of settlers was achieved and
the economic incentives were high enough to retain all the new
settlers in their new environment, also there has been no major
