IFAD and GCF scale-up action to improve life for millions of people and restore ecosystems
Millions of poor farmers living in the world’s most climate-impacted parts of the Sahel have cause for hope today because of their governments’ support for accelerating Africa’s Great Green Wall (GGW), an area covering 11 countries from Senegal and Mali in the West to Ethiopia and Djibouti in the East. A new investment programme is planned to support Sahelian governments through a partnership between the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in order to boost climate finance for these rural populations.

Funded by the United Nations Climate Learning Partnership, the projects is aimed to capacitate youth groups, particularly in the rural areas on climate change, impacts and action.
The initiative came as the Government has realised that there is need for youth groups and organizations to understand the nature and devastating effects of climate change as well as business opportunities they can explore like renewable energy, tree nursery, waste for livelihoods.
