The Restore Africa Programme is the world's largest community led nature-based carbon removals programme. The programme currently spans six African countries - Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. The programme aims to restore over 1.8 million hectares of land and support over 1.5 million small holder farming families.
We have joined forces
A collaborative effort
The Restore Africa programme has been designed for inclusive and collaborative implementation in partnership with the governments of participating countries, members of the Global EverGreening Alliance, grassroots organisations, and the private sector.
This programme will accelerate and massively scale up the adoption of Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) and other complementary Evergreening practices in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia by building on existing successful projects and proven-effective approaches.
After piloting in Kenya with support from GenZero, the programme accelerated with a catalytic commitment of private capital from Climate Asset Management. This laid the foundation for the mobilisation of additional investments to expand the programme further, supporting millions more vulnerable farming families with improved livelihoods, while mitigating the impacts of climate change at a globally significant scale. The Programme will significantly contribute to the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), which aims to bring at least 100 million hectares of degraded land under restoration by 2030.

The Restore Africa programme has been designed for inclusive and collaborative implementation in partnership with the governments of participating countries, members of the Global EverGreening Alliance, and grassroots organisations.
The Global EverGreening Alliance and its members have joined forces in the biggest small-scale farmer-driven land restoration project: Restore Africa. This program will accelerate and massively scale up the adoption of Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) and other complementary Evergreening practices in Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Kenya and Ethiopia by building on existing successful projects and proven-effective approaches.
Through this project, we will also significantly contribute to the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative, which aims to bring at least 100 million hectares of degraded land under restoration by 2030.
The problem
Our people and our planet are struggling.
With rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, increasing desertification and biodiversity loss, climate change is already affecting African ecosystems – and the rural communities that depend on them.
The SOLUTION
Restore the landscapes, support the farmers.
Through ‘evergreening’ approaches to carbon-capture that help farmers rehabilitate their land, the Alliance is addressing the major barriers to sustainable development.
The Benefit
Our people and our planet can start thriving.
Habitats and ecosystems are restored, biodiversity is increased and remaining forests are protected, all while improving the livelihoods of vulnerable communities.
