RIFT is TG/SBI's internal restoration intelligence and forecasting tool for the GGW Sahel programme. It translates official restoration claims into evidence-adjusted figures and allows structured investment forecasting.

Official - the reported figure from government or GGW authority sources, unadjusted. Conservative - applies evidence and durability discounts only. TG/SBI Adjusted - applies evidence, definition alignment, and durability factors together. Verified - meets all required evidence gates including field verification and durability window.

Adjusted ha = Reported ha × Evidence Factor × Definition Alignment Factor × Durability Factor

Forecasts are conditional estimates. Gross ha shows what investment could theoretically cover. Functional ha applies method adherence, establishment, durability, access, and maintenance factors. All forecasts require the standard caveat.

Restoration data is entered by TG/SBI analysts from publicly available national GGW programme reports. Regional data for Senegal and Burkina Faso is supplemented by ANSD 2023 (Senegal) and INSD 2024 (Burkina Faso) population figures. Security constraint ratings are from ACAPS. Boundaries from GADM.
