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
Sahelian Africa faces a persistent problem of variability in rainfall, which is the major driver of vulnerability in the region. Populations in the Sahel are among the poorest and most vulnerable to climatic variability and land degradation. They depend heavily on healthy ecosystems for rainfed agriculture, fisheries, and livestock management to sustain their livelihoods. This program is one of the contributions to the Great Green Wall Initiative.
