Preparing for Scale-Up of African Landscape Restoration

This project will lay groundwork for a major scale-up in African landscape restoration. Africa provides an extraordinary opportunity for restoration, and there are promising efforts underway including AFR100, an initiative of more than 30 African countries to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land back to productivity. This grant will support seven partner organizations to design and mobilize financial mechanisms, ensure pipeline development of projects, engage development finance institutions and farmer networks, and identify intermediaries that can support scaling.
