With the announcement of an acceleration program in 2021, the Great Green Wall in the Sahel, which aims to avoid desertification, gained impetus after years of delays caused by a lack of funds and ongoing wars. A new online database is being built as part of the accelerator’s attempts to alleviate delays, track the many initiatives that are part of the GGW initiative by nation, enhance monitoring progress, and assess their efficacy. Coordinated monitoring and progress tracking, according to GGW partners, should assist sustain financing and achieve the goals of the ambitious program in the Sahel.
