In the arid expanses of Nigeria's drylands, where the delicate equilibrium between environmental preservation, sustainable progress, and community welfare holds paramount importance, the National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) has initiated a ground-breaking mission. This undertaking, devoted to combating desertification, land degradation, and alleviating rural poverty, demands an inclusive and community-focused approach. The Great Green Wall Programme stands as a remarkable and far-reaching initiative designed to rejuvenate the Sahel region. This monumental endeavour encompasses numerous communities with the objective of reclaiming lands that have been depleted over time and enhancing the lives of the millions of individuals inhabiting these areas. In Nigeria, the triumph of this endeavour hinges on a fundamental principle – empowering the communities residing within the ecological mosaic we aspire to revive. We firmly believe that by involving local communities and affording them a role in the planning and execution of this project, we can ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the Great Green Wall Programme.

I fully support you Femi Adewole Especially on a day where Mozambican Zitamar News reports “Five years on, efforts to rebuild housing in Sofala province (including Beira), where Cyclone Idai struck in 2019, have so far achieved little.” Much much more needs to be done indeed! - lets agree that Western-styled mortgage products do not work for the masses in Africa that earn informally and unpredictably - lets agree that there is not 1 silver bullet solution that will fix this situation fast and at scale. A menu of options is needed so that those that need better housing can choose what option that fits them best. That housing menu should include at least: * rental housing options as Olu Olanrewaju says, especially schemes for student housing and those facilitating increased labour mobility that have a solid business case. Social housing for those with lower incomes will depend on political appetite * schemes that upgrade/formalise/scale backyard rental, currently the biggest supplier of housing in most of Africa * and obviously flexible payment offtake schemes (like rent to own) for affordable housing developers so the whole value chain for developers can finally work. Very scalable, especially with the tech we offer at Empowa
About 14years ago, i decided to go back to Africa in pursuit of a vision. A vision of Africa where its most vulnerable had at least a modest roof over their head. Over those many years, a lot has been done. Tens of thousands of houses built accross the Continent including about 14000 homes in the last four years in Nigeria alone. But this video - sadly still the experience of far too many (probably up to 20million Nigerians) say it all. Much more, bloody much more, needs to be done. Its simply too heartbreaking. Unfortunately, much of our conversations and conferences ignore a reality for too many of fellow citizens. So over the next weeks and months, with absolutely no shame, I will be plugging everyone I can think of, to mobilise voluntary effort to help as many as we can. I'm coming! If you have any ideas, that's welcome too. How about weatherproofing 1000 homes in our informal settlements by December for a start!
