Resumen
Descripción
The African forest landscape restoration initiative (AFR 100) is a partnership between 34 African countries committed to restoring at least 100 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. The participating countries have committed a total of 129.5 million hectares for restoration. This four year programme, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the government of Germany with a budget of 40 million, will support the ambition of AFR100. It will help accelerate restoration and value added innovation by providing local communities, including smallholder forest and farm producer organizations, and Indigenous Peoples, with direct financial and technical assistance. It will strengthen the governance capacity of local communities and support them to increase their capacity to monitor and communicate restoration results and share lessons Learn, it will also help create restoration-based businesses and green jobs, improve livelihoods and develop resilience to climate change in selected landscapes in AFR 100 countries. FAO is seeking expressions of interest from organizations interested in collaborating on this programme.
