Sahel and West Africa Program in Support of the Great Green Wall Initiative

To Expand Sustainable Land and Water Management in Targeted Landscapes and Climate Vulnerable Areas

The Program will support the following activities: Expand investment in sustainable land and water management technologies This would help communities adapt production systems to climate variability and change, generate income and livelihoods, and secure global public goods such as retention of greenhouse gases, nitrogen fixation, groundwater recharge, and biodiversity, and reduce impacts from erosion, drought and flooding. Improve land use planning, such as at watershed scale (e.g., Nigeria) or local levels (e.g., grazing reserves, conservation areas, etc.). This would help manage trade-offs that occur between multiple uses such as demand for rich floodplains for grazing or crops, or woodlands’ value for fuelwood versus watershed function and protected areas.
Improve and apply the information base: climate and water monitoring network
improvements, ICT innovations, institutional cooperation within and across countries, and evidence-based policy development.
