MAURITANIA 2024. Great Green Wall Initiative

Mauritania, and 10 other countries across the 8 000 kilometres of the African continent, started the Great Green Wall initiative.

Supporting restoration activities as part of the Great Green Wall initiative, FAO’s AAD programme, funded by the European Union, puts communities at the centre of restoration and reforestation, combatting these challenges with expertise and training in selecting which tree and grass species to grow, where to plant the seeds for optimal results and how to harvest products or their seeds for future use.
