"As part of its 2021-2025 Climate Change Action Plan, the World Bank is
supporting the Malian government’s efforts to tackle the climate emergency. Its
subsidiary, the International Development Association (IDA), is providing $150
million for climate change resilience through the Degraded Land Restoration
Project, supported by Mali’s Ministry of the Environment, Sanitation and
Sustainable Development.
This Malian government initiative aims to restore land degraded by climate
change in at least 87 councils in the regions of Mopti, Ségou, Kayes and
Koulikoro. These regions are located on the Mali side of the Great Green Wall,
an African Union (AU) initiative that aims to halt the advance of the Sahara
desert through reforestation and restoration of agricultural land. With funding
from the World Bank, Bamako plans to restore landscapes in the inland delta of
the River Niger, which stretches over 64,000 km² between the towns of Djenné
and Timbuktu, making it the largest wetland in West Africa."
