CIFOR-ICRAF CEO Éliane Ubalijoro spoke at the Gala of Hope at the Sixth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6), where Regreening Africa was recognized as a UN World Restoration Flagship by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Regreening Africa is restoring ecosystems in 8 countries and improving the resilience of 500,000 households across sub-Saharan Africa. It uses a community-centred and research-based agroforestry and sustainable land management approach. It’s an initiative led by CIFOR-ICRAF in partnership with CARE Nederland, Catholic Relief Services, Oxfam, Sahel Eco, and World Vision Australia with funding from the European Union.
