Through the project “Land restoration for post-Covid rural and indigenous women empowerment and poverty reduction in Cameroon” (LRIWEP), we developed and tested a participatory methodology/approach to guide municipalities to identify context-specific and gender-sensitive restoration options for their municipalities. In so doing we strive to serve practitioners and policymakers within a given territory with state-of-the-art guide and tools for them, to integrate land restoration in their development plans thereby contributing to meeting the national agenda on land restoration as specified in AFR100 initiative and the Bonn Challenge. This policy brief demonstrates strong evidence on using participatory and inclusive approaches, to synthesize and interpret results that identify degradation hotspots and provide restoration options for different land users in selected pilot municipalities. The findings in each municipality can be used to complement municipal development plans, inform donors, policy and practice related to environmental issues in general and land and forest restoration options in particular.
