The forest and land use sectors are critical to Burkina Faso's response to climate change - particularly for adaptation, but also with considerable mitigation potential, both through reductions and removals emissions. In this context, it is proposed that GCF Readiness funds be used to undertake a strategic analysis of adaptation and mitigation potential - building on the currently available evidence base - and climate investment opportunities in the regions forest and land use sectors. The requested Readiness Program aims to identify the adaptation and mitigation measures for the Great Green Wall (GGW). This set of interventions complements the national REDD + readiness process under the Forest Investment Program (FIP) and FCPF whose intervention area is different from that of the Great Green Wall (except for the East region). Also, a portion of the preparation funds (US $ 50,000) will be used for Burkina Faso's stakeholder participation in regional consultations and the development of a regional (multi-country) framework program. The regional framework program will allow for harmonized monitoring and the sharing of experience and technical expertise. Burkina Faso has signed and ratified the Convention creating the Pan-African Agency of the Great Green Wall and expresses interest in participating in the development of the regional program. 7. Total requested amount and currency USD 342, Anticipated duration 12 months 9. Is the country receiving other Readiness and Preparatory Support related to the GCF?

The Forest Investment Program (FIP) and the Great Green Wall Initiative are supported by the Government through the Ministry of the Environment, Green Economy and Climate Change which provides guidance for projects and programs who are under his tutelage. There is coordination between projects to align with the REDD + readiness process and FCPF. The GGW and the FIP have different activities but complement each other. Indeed, the FIP aims to reduce deforestation and forest degradation and promotes sustainable and improved management of forests in the forested part of the country. On the other hand,

18 PAGE 17 OF 17 ver. 20 March 2017 the GGW intervenes in the recovery of degraded lands in the arid and semi-arid zones. The sustainable Land Management is an option taken for the implementation of the GGW. The GGW initiative will be developed as part of a broad consultation process at regional and national level to develop actions to be undertaken.
