Strengthening capacities and partnerships for assessing mitigation and adaptation opportunities and enabling their implementation in the forestry and land use sectors in the context of the Great Green Wall (GGW), Chad

The proposal requests USD 359,903 over 18 months to address barriers in Chad's land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector. Key objectives include generating evidence-based climate data, updating the 2012 Great Green Wall (GGW) strategy, enhancing inter-sectoral dialogue through a national platform, and engaging the private sector in climate-oriented value chains. The project is implemented by the FAO to prepare Chad for a larger regional GGW project.

• Chad is ranked 180 out of 181 as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts and is least prepared to address them.
• The forestry and land use sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Chad, accounting for 57.94% of total emissions, followed by agriculture at 41.05%.
• Climate change has caused significant environmental degradation in Chad, including the expansion of Saharan and Sahelian deserted zones by 150 km South over the last decade and the reduction of Lake Chad from 25,000 km² in 1960 to less than 2,500 km².
• The existing Great Green Wall Strategy for Chad, developed in 2012, is considered outdated because it was created before the formulation of the country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
• Chad faces several systemic barriers to implementing climate interventions in the LULUCF sector, including a lack of national benchmark data, limited inter-sectoral dialogue, and low private sector interest.
• The proposed project aims to establish a national multi-sectoral platform to facilitate knowledge sharing and conduct regional trainings in Kanem, Ouaddaï, and Wadi Fira.
• The project will utilize specific technical tools, including Collect Earth, SHARP, MOSAICC, and EX Ante Carbone (EX-ACT), to fill data gaps and quantify carbon emission reductions.
• A key component of the proposal is the development of a private sector engagement strategy, focusing on the analysis of 3 to 5 flagship value chains, such as Gum Arabic and other non-timber forest products.
• The project includes a dedicated gender assessment and action plan to identify roles, vulnerabilities, and barriers for men, women, and youth in LULUCF value chains.
