The center aims to share the "Chinese model" and technical standards of desertification combating, to promote the green development of China-Africa cooperation.
The Great Green Wall is an African initiative led by the African Union to combat climate change and desertification. The project aims to improve the lives of millions of people by creating a great green productive landscape across the Sahel in North Africa.
