Desert nations like those in the Sahel (e.g., Niger, Mali) face chronic food insecurity due to aridity, but solutions focus on sustainability, not indefinite aid. Per World Bank and WFP data, achieving resilience via irrigation, tech, and infrastructure could take 10-20 years with $10-16B annually for affected African regions. Ongoing aid averages $1-2B/year per key country, but investments aim to end dependency.
