SURAGGWA’s objective is to enhance ecological and climate resilience across Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal, while substantially increasing carbon sequestration through landscape restoration.

The Sahelian countries within the Great Green Wall (GGW) region are among the poorest and most vulnerable to climate change. Their economies largely depend on agriculture, livestock, and forestry, with over 70 per cent of rural communities reliant on rainfed agriculture. Climate change further exacerbates ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and the vulnerability of agro-silvopastoral landscapes, threatening food security and the sustainability of local livelihoods.

The programme will restore degraded agro-silvo-pastoral landscapes to build climate resilience and mitigation capacities, develop climate-resilient, low-emission Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) value chains to enhance market access and financial inclusion for vulnerable communities, and strengthen GGW institutions to improve coordination, monitoring, resource mobilisation, and knowledge management

The programme supports the African Union-led Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative by enhancing ecological and climate resilience. It contributes to the GGW goals of restoring 100 million hectares of degraded land, creating 10 million new jobs and sequestering 250 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030 through large-scale land restoration efforts.

To increase resilience and strengthen livelihoods of targeted communities in the Sahel through the adoption of climate-smart landscape restoration practices.

<p>The project objective is to increase the resilience of the population in the Lake Chad Basin by enhancing the countries capability to manage and adapt to climate-related risks through improvement of hydrological monitoring, data systems and service delivery and awareness on climate-related hazards. the specific outputs of the project are mainly aimed at (i) building an effective water information system, (ii) improving meteorological and hydrological products and services, (iii) training and informing vulnerable communities on emerging risks, (iv) strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of the national services involved in the project activities (v) dissemination and facilitation of access to relevant products, services and tools for water resources management, and their use for the protection of human lives, livelihoods and the environment from water-related hazards, and (vi) strengthening of regional and global cooperation through improved knowledge management on Lake Chad and its tributaries in order to provide appropriate climatic and hydrometeorological services.</p>

Worldwide, vulnerable communities face increasing risks due to the growing intensity, geographic extent and frequency of climate-related hazards, exacerbated by rising temperatures associated with climate change. Hazards like heatwaves, floods, landslides and droughts cause devastating loss of lives and assets, socio-economic instability and inequality. It is essential to enhance the ability of these communities to anticipate, prepare for and respond.

This project aims to strengthen the resilience of communities in seven countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Chad, Cambodia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, and Somalia) by improving the production, dissemination and effective use of Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS).   It will accelerate access to global and regional technical and operational support for these countries to develop comprehensive MHEWS, address policy gaps, inter-agency coordination and strategies, build technical and scientific capacities, and promote effective local action.

Implemented through the national governments of the seven countries with support from UNDP and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) and other relevant partner agencies, this project will accelerate Early Warnings for All (EW4All) through coordinated global support involving all the key actors across the climate information and early warnings value chain.

GCF's Project Preparation Facility (PPF) support was deployed to help develop the project.
