Do you have an idea to scale up or scale out land restoration solutions? Share it and be part of the Knowledge for Great Green Wall Action (K4GGWA) Innovation Facility! Across the Sahel and the Great Green Wall region, powerful ideas like Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), grazing management and land restoration have already changed lives. But these solutions need to reach more people, faster.
The objective of the Innovation Facility is to identify and select promising and/or innovative initiatives and approaches, to support them along a growth, scaling-up and/or scaling-out pathway, and to extend that support using a variety of tools, most notably a small grants instrument.
The facility will seek to identify and promote initiatives that are not merely promising, but also scalable. These could include any initiatives that support the broader biophysical, sociopolitical and gender objectives of the Great Green Wall. Their focus could be on practices, approaches, governance issues, technologies, business models, and innovative institutional arrangements – in short, anything that shows promise in the acceleration of the broader Great Green Wall objectives.
