Regreening Africa Highlights

In this issue, we share how gender norms have been challenged in Ghana and Senegal as a result of gender transformative action training, thereby advancing women’s land security and promoting social justice in land restoration and benefit sharing. As we adjusted to the new normal of virtual connectivity necessitated by the Covid-19 challenge, we continued to engage more virtually through various events. Among these virtual events was COP 26, during which we emphasized the importance of utilizing technology to identify areas with degraded soil and the use of the regreening app to record and monitor restoration. Participants in Kenya’s national landscape restoration movement came from a variety of sectors and organizations, and they shared their landscape restoration experiences, challenges, and recommendations. Community participation is essential for long-term restoration because it ensures their full participation. The S/heroes of land and landscape restoration exemplified the critical role of traditional knowledge in enhancing dryland restoration. Peer learnings provided an invaluable opportunity to question and learn from one another’s evidence and experiences through the reflective missions and virtual cross-country learning events.
