Restoration Education: Building a Pan-African curriculum on landscape restoration

The Restoration Education program aims to integrate landscape restoration into academic and vocational education systems in Africa. The initiative builds on the international momentum created by the launch of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030): it led to increased investments and a greater number of restoration projects across Africa and, in so doing, brought to the fore the need for adequately trained professionals. Unlike forest management, landscape restoration has yet to be fully integrated into higher-education curricula across Africa. To build a new generation of landscape restoration professionals, CIFOR-ICRAF teamed up with African universities. With the support of CIFOR-ICRAF’s Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) and the International Union of Forestry Research Organisations (IUFRO, we launched a Call to Action to develop an inter- and transdisciplinary restoration curriculum integrating knowledge from the biophysical and social sciences.
