360˚ Video of a WFP Integrated Resilience Site in Niger

Visit the community of Rafa, in Niger and see half-moons before and after the rainy season, visit a school garden and take part in a FARN nutrition session.
The community of Rafa in Niger has rehabilitated an area equivalent to 4,000 football fields.
Healthy ecosystems are the very foundation for people’s wellbeing and livelihoods in the Sahel. The multifaceted challenge exacerbated by climate change demands unprecedented investments in land rehabilitation, but also in education, health and nutrition, green jobs for all, enabling social cohesion and better governance.
It is with this vision that the WFP, in collaboration with governments and partners, has scaled up an integrated resilience programme in the Sahel. In practice, this means bringing degraded land back to life, enabling access to food and healthy diets, getting children back to school, and developing value chains to boost incomes and green jobs. Over 158,000 hectares of land were rehabilitated by Sahelians since 2018.
