dc.descriptionDesertification, land degradation and drought are grave challenges facing Africa’s drylands, aggravating the issues of hunger, poverty, unemployment, forced migration and conflict. Climate change is increasing the risk of extreme weather events and all these factors have a far-reaching adverse impact on human health, physical infrastructure, natural resources and national and global security. The Great Green Wall initiative is Africa’s ambitious response. Launched in 2007, it has rallied more than 20 African countries, international organizations, research institutes, civil society and grassroots organizations to transform the lives of millions of people by creating a mosaic of green and productive landscapes across North Africa, the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. FAO, a long-standing partner of the Great Green Wall initiative, is playing a key role through the Action Against Desertification initiative, launched in 2014. This initiative has paved the way for large-scale restoration of small-scale farming and aims to make degraded land productive again and improve the livelihoods of rural communities in less than five years. To scale up efforts and make a lasting impact, more investment is needed.
