Great Green Wall For The Sahara And Sahel Initiative. National Strategic Action Plan 2012
Ministry of Agriculture ,Ministry of Rural Development, Nigeria
This report presents a strategic plan of action for the implementation of the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel initiative (GGWSSI) in Nigeria. The GGWSSI is a recent regional attempt in Africa to focus on addressing desertification in a more coherent manner. The initiative was originally conceived as a thematic project, focusing on the creation of a wall of trees of some 15 km wide and 7,775 km long from Dakar to Djibouti, through 11 countries. Since 2005, however, it has gradually shifted to a holistic, multi-sectoral, and integrated vision of sustainable land management (SLM) and poverty eradication. The specific initiatives are to prevent further loss of biodiversity and restore already degraded areas and protect ecologically sensitive sites, harness and sustain natural resource use, halt land degradation, combat desertification and mitigate impacts of droughts and improve the overall governance of the environment.
