Background

Achieving Africa’s restoration targets will require effective tree seed and seedling delivery systems to support tree planting, but current systems are suboptimal. This issue has gained prominence on the restoration agenda, with substantial investments being made to address it.

What is tree seed and seedling delivery systems?

Through projects such as the Right Tree in the Right Place – Seed initiative, we aim to increase the supply of planting material of a diverse range of native tree species in Africa. In support of this, we are building the transformative partnership platform for tree seed and seedling delivery systems (Seed TPP) to empower Africa-wide stakeholders to develop sustainable, integrated and high-quality tree seed and seedling sectors for effective landscape restoration and broader tree planting. Seed TPP will support the co-development and dissemination of evidence-based policies and practices, and of tailored decision-support tools
