The objective of the session is to showcase possibilities of conflict-sensitive decision-making that is based on thorough analysis of the ground-level conditions – from political level to small communities.

In a context of scarcity, degradation and conflicts around the water resource, appropriate solutions must be found for humanity. Through this session, Côte d'Ivoire intends to show its contribution to this process of finding solutions through its experience in the field and its expectations.

The Sahel is characterized by drastic climatic conditions, recurrent droughts, land degradation, poverty, malnutrition, forced migrations. The Great Green Wall Initiative was created in response to this contact with the vision of restoring the viability of the natural capital and productive systems of the Sahelian lands and transforming them into areas of economic prosperity that are perfectly integrated into the economic fabric of the countries. The Initiative integrates the three paradigms of Restoration / Development / Security.
