in support of the Great Green Wall Initiative
Gayatri Kanungo, Senior Environmental Specialist
The Great Green Wall Initiative

The Great Green Wall Initiative (GGWI) is an African
initiative to transform the Sahel into a stable,
sustainable, resilient region through improved
management of natural resources, land, water, and
climate risks.

The GGWI promotes an integrated landscape approach
in participating Sub-Saharan and North African
countries.

The GGWI is rallying a larger number of partners,
under the coordination of the African Union
Commission (AUC): EC, GEF, FAO, GM-UNCCD, WB,
CILSS, OSS, IUCN, PAA, etc.

Sahel Initiative

The WB-UN Sahel
Initiative renews focus
on boosting the region’s
economic growth,
shared prosperity and
reducing poverty by
transforming livelihoods
and landscapes in the
Sahel. SAWAP is a
strategic part.

matter
in these countries






Sahel and West Africa countries are amongst Africa’s drylands
– with highest climate related risks and vulnerabilities
Drylands (including marginal areas and borderlands) are
hotspots of natural disasters
Noted depletion of soil fertility, forest degradation and water
stress
Noted indirect impacts of climate variability (rainfall and
temperature) – increased spread of human and livestock
diseases, natural resource exploitation
Resulting in challenges managing the environment and
renewable natural resources – land, water, forests, livestock,
fish and ecosystems.
All of the above linked to food insecurity.
Support to the GGW

Against this background, the World Bank and
GEF partnered to deepen engagement in
support of the GGWI, through the Sahel and
West Africa Program (SAWAP), under the
TerrAfrica Partnership.

- APPROACH
World

– Integrated
Landscape Management (ILM)
Landscape Approach is about
connecting protected areas,
forests, woodlands, agro-silvopastoral lands, croplands, irrigated
agricultural lands for ……
Production
For the multiple wins of:
Increased productivity
Increased résilience
Increased GHG mitigation
Improved biodiversity
Increased water production
Increased peace and security

Benefits and Transformative Impacts


-

-

-

Ecosystem level
Connectivity of land, water, forests and ecosystems
Local level
Connects local stakeholders (on farm and off farm level); brings
communities together (upstream farmers with downstream water users) for
collective action and reducing climate vulnerabilities; acknowledges their
roles.
National level
Connects multiple sectors for adaptive management: competing land uses,
and relevant sectoral institutions.
Regional level
Connectivity across the region, spatial impact through connecting
geographic boundaries and comprehensive regional stakeholder
engagement
Financial Implications: allows combining of funds from various sources into
a comprehensive package.
TerrAfrica Relevance
The
World
Bank
TerrAfrica: an Africa-based and Africa-led partnership of 26 Sub-Saharan countries
and 20 partners
Figure 1 : TerrAfrica scope of activities
 Sustainable NRM for resilient
landscapes as a key solution is
gaining strong visibility.
 TerrAfrica has been a pioneer,
game changer and partner of
choice for this agenda.
 Several Landscapes Programs in
Africa’s drylands (Figure 1) are
being supported under TerrAfrica
with emerging lessons for
replication
 Responding to growing and new
challenges: Integrating resilience,
security, migration within the
development agenda
