How will the regional restoration program affect Chad's land management efforts?

Chad will focus on drought-resilient land management through new restoration program The US$78 million Global Environment Facility funding has established a regional investment programme aimed at combating land degradation across nine Great Green Wall countries. This initiative directs Chad to focus specifically on implementing drought-resilient land management strategies. These efforts are targeted at supporting communities within Chad that are currently facing the severe effects of desertification.

Why it matters

The Sahel region, where Chad is located, is warming at about 1.5 times the global average. Roughly two-thirds of its productive land is degraded, which increases pressure on food systems, water resources, and rural livelihoods. Environmental degradation, food insecurity, and conflict have already contributed to the displacement of more than four million people across the region.

This new programme builds on the Great Green Wall, an African-led effort launched in 2007 to combat desertification and land degradation. By moving beyond individual projects toward a coordinated investment framework, the initiative allows countries to track results collectively and scale up solutions suited to their local landscapes and communities.

What we don't know yet

  • What specific metrics will be used to measure the success of the drought-resilient land management in Chad?
  • How will the programme coordinate with existing national land management policies in Chad?

What would change this answer

Additional bilateral partners commit further fundingThe scope and scale of the restoration efforts in Chad could increase significantly beyond the current US$78 million allocation.
Regional political instability increases in the SahelThe ability of Chad to implement the land management projects could be severely hampered, regardless of funding.
