Enhance the National Framework for Climate Transparency of The Republic of Djibouti to meet the requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

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.

Local CSOs and CBOs in landscapes-seascapes around the world access grant financing and technical assistance, including capacity development and knowledge sharing to maintain and enhance their socio-ecological resilience, well-being and socio-economic conditions for global environmental benefits.

The Horn of Africa is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world, with crippling food insecurity resulting from multiple hazards in the region. The region faces increased vulnerability due to increasing variability in rainfall patterns leading to extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, which result in intensifying humanitarian emergencies, food insecurity, and infrastructure damage.

To tackle these challenges, the project aims to improve the adaptive capacity of communities in the region at scale. This will be achieved by enhancing the productivity of local agricultural and food systems and improving the management of rangeland and agro-pastoral landscapes. The project includes a package of resilience-building solutions, such as infrastructure for water harvesting and agro-pastoral development, support for sustainable land management, and access to innovative climate-smart technologies and best practices. The project will also support access to renewable energy; capacity building for cooperatives and agribusiness MSMEs on entrepreneurship; access to innovative financial instruments including credit lines; and access to climate information and early warning services, and agricultural insurance.
