With a new contribution from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands of $22 million, Food Systems 2030 will increase preparedness against food insecurity and improve the resilience of food systems in West Africa, where 82 million people work in the agriculture and food sector. West Africa is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions, with frequent and worsening food crises. 16.7 million West Africans require immediate food assistance. The program builds on the World Bank’s strong focus on the Sahel region: including its $5.6 billion commitment to the Great Green Wall and its support to implement climate-smart policies and programs in 20 countries, designed to scale up integrated landscape approaches.
