Land restoration is critical for climate change adaptation and mitigation in Africa.
Large-scale restoration is possible with strong partnerships and by matching practices and approaches to local needs and conditions and working through local structures and processes.
Bringing science, research, evidence, and monitoring to the global and local restoration agenda accelerates impact on the ground.
Value chains with equitable economic benefits and policies that support an enabling environment are critical incentives for action.
