PresentationPresentationForest and landscape restoration for adaptation in drylands: The Great Green Wall Initiative
Webinar 6: Potential for Ecosystem based Adaptation to build agricultural livelihood resilience in Dryland Ecosystems
2018Also available in:
No results found.Africa’s Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative involves over 20 countries around the Sahara. Conceived as a mosaic of green and productive landscapes, the Great Green Wall is considered as a game changer for Africa’s Drylands and communities, given its potential to address climate change adaptation and mitigation, prevent and combat desertification, eradicate poverty, end hunger and boost food and nutrition security. FAO is engaged in this initiative through the EU-funded Action Against Desertification (AAD) programme, supporting six African countries (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Gambia, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal) in large-scale restoration— one that places rural communities at its heart and biodiversity as key source of resilience and adaptation to climate change. Through this presentation, we will showcase how plant-based solutions are being used for restoration and adaptation to climate change in Africa’s drylands. -

No results found.Evaluation of the Action Against Desertification Programme (AAD) in Northern Nigeria. To address the lack of baseline information, a counterfactual scenario was built based on ex ante spatial program information and a combination of machine learning and quasi-experimental impact evaluation techniques. We find that large-scale, bottom-up-led, land restoration in Northern Nigeria led to the adoption of more climate-resilient options. Households participating in the programme increased the commercialization of livestock by-products and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) as promoted activities targeted local market opportunities. Also, changes in livelihoods did not result in food insecurity, to the contrary, they improved it.
