Action Against Desertification (AAD) - Great Green wall for Sahara and Sahel initiative (GGWSSI)
Action Against Desertification aims to support the Great Green Wall initiative and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in strengthening the resilience of people and natural systems in the Sahel and Sahara, the Caribbean and the Pacific by helping local communities in the sustainable management and use of forests, rangelands and other natural resources in drylands. The initiative has three main objectives: i) improve the living conditions of populations in the arid zones of Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific and reduce their vulnerability to climate change, climate variability and drought. ii) improve the state and health of ecosystems in these arid zones and their resilience to climate change, climate variability and drought, and; iii) Mobilize resources for the implementation of the Great Green Wall initiative and the UNCCD national action plans through the establishment of partnerships between national, regional and international stakeholders.
