Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAfrican Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) Programme
Access to funding and technical assistance for forest and smallholder farm producers and enterprises to accelerate restoration-based value added innovation, with focus on Africa
2024Also available in:
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. -
Book (stand-alone)Responsible governance of land tenure as a strategy to strengthen land restoration and drought management initiatives in Mexico
Synthesis document of the National Dialogue
2025Also available in:
No results found.Land degradation is one of the most urgent environmental problems affecting Mexico in the 21st century and the Americas region. It is exacerbated in the context of climate change. Mexican rural sectors, especially women and Indigenous Peoples, have played a fundamental role in soil management and mitigating adverse climatic conditions through ancestral agricultural practices and care. However, there is still a gap in guaranteeing their access to land and their legal security over land and natural resources. Since the development of a joint guide that integrates FAO's Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) with the objectives against desertification, degradation and drought, national consultations have been developed in different parts of the world to identify opportunities to deepen this linkage and the analysis on how they are related. Thus, the Joint Initiative between the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Mexico aims to integrate land tenure security for women in Mexico into land degradation neutrality (LDN) objectives. The initiative places rural women affected by desertification, land degradation and drought at the centre, promoting the strengthening of their management capacities and knowledge sharing. It aims to improve land governance by ensuring historically marginalized groups actively participate in land tenure decisions that directly and indirectly affect NDT objectives. This document synthesizes the multi-stakeholder National Dialogue (consultation) developed in Mexico in 2024, which included various participatory methodologies and an event held in Mexico City in September. It gathers the context, primary reflections, and proposals for action to address the relationship between tenure, degradation, and desertification issues. -
Book (series)The State of the World’s Forests 2022
Forest pathways for green recovery and building inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies
2022Against the backdrop of the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use and the pledge of 140 countries to eliminate forest loss by 2030 and to support restoration and sustainable forestry, the 2022 edition of The State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) explores the potential of three forest pathways for achieving green recovery and tackling multidimensional planetary crises, including climate change and biodiversity loss. The three interrelated pathways are halting deforestation and maintaining forests; restoring degraded lands and expanding agroforestry; and sustainably using forests and building green value chains. The balanced, simultaneous pursuit of these pathways can generate sustainable economic and social benefits for countries and their rural communities, help sustainably meet increasing global demand for materials, and address environmental challenges. The State of the World’s Forests 2022 presents evidence on the feasibility and value of these pathways and outlines initial steps that could be taken to further pursue them. There is no time to lose – action is needed now to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 °C, reduce the risk of future pandemics, ensure food security and nutrition for all, eliminate poverty, conserve the planet’s biodiversity and offer young people hope of a better world and a better future for all.
