All those working to achieve sustainable development, food security and climate resilience in Africa are invited to join this powerful multi-day learning and sharing event.

Leaders from community and farmer organizations, local governments, food and agri-businesses, NGOs and other stakeholders across Africa are working together through integrated landscape management to achieve multiple goals from their land and resources. They take different entry points and use different names, including forest landscape restoration, model forests, sustainable land and water management, and agriculture green growth corridors, to name just a few.

 

If you are one of those people, the African Landscapes Dialogue is designed for you.

This learning event will provide a dynamic forum for leaders to share their diverse experiences with implementing integrated landscape management. They will participate in skills-building sessions, learn about new planning, management and monitoring tools demonstrated by their creators, visit firsthand landscapes where the power of integrated landscape approaches are visible, and more.

The African Landscapes Dialogue will gather the diverse communities of practice in sustainable landscapes at the beautiful campus of HOAREC&N in Ethiopia to learn together through:

  • Sharing best practices from their own landscapes
  • Sharing lessons learned from research and experiences across landscapes and countries
  • Exchanging tools and resources Developing collaborative actions Facilitated cross-sectoral conversation
  • Study tours of landscapes in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

This event is in service of The African Landscapes Action Plan, agreed at the 2014 Landscapes for People, Food and Nature in Africa conference in Nairobi and endorsed by the African Union’s New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD). The plan emphasized the importance of capacity-development to advance integrated landscape management across Africa.
