This initiative supports reforestation for AFR100, a country-led effort to bring 100 million hectares of land in Africa into restoration by 2030. The portfolio will generate 9,500 livelihoods, plant 14.8 million trees, and transform over 21,000 hectares of degraded land with robust monitoring tools to the top 100 restoration implementers. It will create both economic and ecological benefits for local African communities, and lay the foundation for an ambitious political and fundraising push in the lead-up to COP27.
