TRANS-SAHARA

TRANS-SAHARA  aims to support African communities in their fight against climate change based on the well-established Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus approach.
The approach towards agroforestry management focuses on the Greater North African Region.
Overarching goals are to (i) increase the water content in regional water cycles to facilitate regeneration of degraded ecosystems, followed by (ii) the development of economically viable agroforestry interventions to showcase agroforestry innovations and finally (iii) facilitating an innovation ecosystem at regional, national and global scales to support a systemic socio-technical transition.
